THE CALM BEFORE THE RANT

Today’s Webcomics List incentive sketch is a little bit of an inside joke. It’s a playful jab at the the well-publicized musical tastes of my fellow Dayfree Press brethren Mitch Clem and Jeph Jacques.

And by the way – If you vote for Theater Hopper, view the sketch and take it seriously, then you might want to check your sarcasm dip stick. Because you might be a quart low…

I’ll be back later with another diatribe – this time with my sights set square on the complete sham Madison Avenue wraps up in a glittery bow and calls The MTV Movie Awards.

Easy pickings, I know. But it’s a Friday, so cut me some slack.

Stay tuned.

Posted In: Blog

Blog will be here later this morning. I burned too much lean tissue trying to render the background and the little newspaper dispenser in the computer. I didn’t have enough time yesterday evening to draw them “long hand.”

See you soon!

BUY SOME ADS, WOULD YOU?

Okay, everybody. For the first time in a long time there are no ads running on the site. So if you every thought about advertising with Theater Hopper, now would be a good time to do it.

I realize that school is out and you’re all probably playing on the Slip N’ Slide, but there has to be a few of you shut-ins out there and more than a few of you probably operate a web site.

We’re not total slouches when it comes to advertising your stuff. Why, check our testimonials if you don’t believe me. We’ll get some good traffic pointed in your direction.

So why don’t you check out our advertising rates page and see if anything piques your interest. Even if you advertise only for a week, you’ve already done yourself a favor.

MEET KRISTY

June 3rd, 2005 | by Tom
Posted In: Blog

Wanted to clue everyone into a a new comic created by Dayfree Press alum and Comet 7 creator David Tekiela. It’s called Kristy Vs. The Zombie Army and it’s a complete departure from what fans of David’s more well-known comic have come to expect.

Traditionally drawn (not in the original pixel style David’s become known for) Kristy Vs. The Zombie Army is a sequential story that will be presented online as “books.”

It’s well worth your time to investigate as a shining example of the diversified talents of the Dayfree Press group!

MY ONLY HOPE

June 3rd, 2005 | by Jared
Posted In: Blog

How about that Episode III, eh? Okay, enough movie talk for now. You guys are very resourceful, so I am asking you for help.

The Problem: I have a Sony Clie PEG-NX60/U pda. About six months ago, my computer at work was wiped out and I lost my palm desktop and backup information. I tried to find my original installation disk, but despite turning my house inside out and backwards, I have not been successful. Without that installation disk, none of my information is hot-synced and backed up. My job depends upon me using that information and if anything happens to my pda (like this morning’s “Fatal Error” scare, which fortunately didn’t delete anything) I will flip out Jerry Maquire style and lose it.

The Trial: I have attempted to install my employer’s version of Palm Desktop, but it requires the Sony Clie Drivers which are conveniently absent from Sony’s site. I also tried to install the software from other Sony Clie models and from downloaded versions, but that didn’t work either. Sony’s help line costs $15 just to speak to a person, so I’d rather not go that route.

The Mission: The mission will be completed when the palm desktop software on my work computer is able to sync with my pda and backup is accomplished.

The Method: Possible solutions to this dilemma include but are not limited to:

  • Mailing me an original Sony Clie PEG-NX60/U CD
  • Mailing me a burned but fully functional copy of the aforementioned CD
  • E-mailing or otherwise hooking me up electronically with the drivers or CD.
  • Showing up in a highly modified DeLorian and taking me back to when I purchased the PDA; making me put the disk in a safe and memorable place.

The Reward: The (first) person who is able to complete this mission and assist me will be handsomely rewarded with a T-shirt from the Theater Hopper store and a star on the TH Walk of Fame. Please email me if you are interested in helping me. I don’t want to receive 10 disks in the mail and be expected to buy you each a shirt. Email me at brinkmeyer@hotmail.com if you think you can help. Please include something about a mission in the message title so I know you are not an evil spammer.

Help me Theater Hoppers, you are my only hope.

I NEVER KNEW!

June 1st, 2005 | by Tom

Accoring to Mitch Clem, my recent round of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith comics puts me in league with the NOFX of our genre.

I think I have a little more license to make Star Wars commentary than others, but I resemble that remark, brutha!

I’m just using Mitch’s comments as a way to help plug the Nothing Nice to Say book he’s putting together. It’s a very ambitious project and I am totally jealous. Kids, he’s REDRAWING all of his old strips.

In the old days, people would call that having “cajones.”

SHIRTS ARE A’COMIN’!

June 1st, 2005 | by Tom
Posted In: Blog

Boy, I’m Mr. Post-Happy today, aren’t I?

I just wanted to let you guys know that our printer sent me a notification that shirts from the mid-May pre-order have been shipped!

I’m watching things very closely with the help of my UPS tracking number and everything should be at my house on June 6. That means I’ll be mailing them all out that week and hopefully you’ll see them before June 13! Thanks to everyone who has been patiently waiting for their shirts to arrive.

Just a note to those of you still interested in purchasing a tee shirt or baby doll, I ordered a bunch of extras this time around, so it’s more than likely I’ll have your size IN STOCK and ready to ship right away. If that sounds good to you, swing by the store and place an order today!

REVIEW’D!

May 30th, 2005 | by Tom
Posted In: Blog

If you have a little time on your hands, I strongly suggest sauntering on over to the excellent web comic-related pod cast Digital Strips. As you might imagine, it is an on line radio show – or pod cast – totally devoted to the review and discussion of web comics. It’s an idea long overdue, if you ask me.

At any rate, the good fellas over at Digital Strips – Zampzon and Duku – decided to put Theater Hopper under their lens. They were very generous with the compliments in the process, which I always enjoy.

You might get a kick out of it, too. Have your suspicions finally confirmed that Theater Hopper ∗IS∗, in fact, a preferable use of your time as opposed to… y’know… working or paying attention to friends and relatives.

Click here for a direct link to the pod cast. Right click and “Save As…” to download it directly to your desktop. It’s been formatted as an MP3, so it helps if you have some software that can play it. Don’t just download the pod cast, though. Be sure to visit their site and lend these guys some support for their excellent new avenue for web comics discussion and fedback!

Thanks, Digital Strips!
