In an effort to further branch out into the web comic community, I am putting out an open call for link exchanges between other creators. How many of them stop by and read my work is up for grabs, but I thought I would throw the idea out in the universe and see who responds. Trust me, I’ll be hitting up a few through e-mail just to cover the bases. Anyone who wants to grab a banner to put on their site can find them here.
I want to raise Theater Hopper’s profile and I’m proposing a “grass-roots” approach. Even if you don’t write a web comic or even have a web site, you can do your part to help! Please mention Theater Hopper on any forums you happen to visit. Maybe provide a link to your favorite comic in the archive. And don’t just worry about visiting other web comics and dropping our name. Think about movie-related forums, fan sites and the like. Branch out!
I know there are some of you who would like to lend your support to Theater Hopper, but don’t have the financial means or a soapbox to stand on. I’ve received e-mails to that effect, so I know you’re out there. Well, I’m here to say you CAN help! By spreading the word about Theater Hopper around the Internet you’re helping us more than you know.
Thanks so much for your support. I know I can count on you!

Let me lay down a quick disclaimer: I enjoyed today’s strip very much. That being said, it is all wrong.
Panel #1)
I did not see any animals wearing hats this weekend. I will wait for the DVD rental.
Panel #2)
I’m not certain where Tom got the oysters thing, but he actually stumbled upon a family tradition. Every year for Thanksgiving, the fam gathers and oyster stew is served… to a select few. I do not partake in the eating of the “bugs.” I usually eat pizza or beef stew.
Panel #3)
I do not sleep on that side of the bed.
Panel #4)
Well, I guess it’s not all wrong!

Sorry, guys. Due to Cami and I hosting Thanksgiving at our house yesterday, there was no time for me to prepare a comic for today. But don’t worry! You’ll still get your recommended dose of Theater Hopper goodness today! Just a little later than usual.

I feel kind of awkward posting this to the main page of the site, but there was an individual I had exchanged e-mails with about a month ago that was interested in advertising on the site at the beginning of December. I’VE MISPLACED YOUR E-MAILS! Please get in touch with me soon. I’m very interested in doing business with you!

First off, I want to say welcome to anyone who is visiting us from Real Life. I did some advertising with Greg this week and I’ve been seeing a lot of referral hits from you guys. So, welcome! Feel free to check out the archive or take a trip in the Wayback Machine and check things out from the beginning!
Second, I need to call your attention to a new comic that is going to set your brain on FIRE!
Does everyone remember Aikida? Of course you do! It was an awesome comic. Well, Fenris is back in the saddle with a whole new comic, a brand-spankin’ new site and a renewed lease of life! Well, at least the first two. He’s back with a great new comic called Pepperwood.
I sent Fenris a note the other day tell him that I really liked the new direction his art and writing was taking and asked if he might be interested in a little cross promotion. He beat me to the punch with the blog currently on his site, so I’m sitting here kind of reacting to that.
Fenris said some really nice things about our little operation and I want to publicly thank him for that now. He also said some stuff about Theater Hopper being on the way up while he was on the way down. To this I say, “Fenris, throw that idea out the window RIGHT NOW! You’re on the way back UP, baby!”
Pepperwood is a comic that takes some of the best elements of Aikida and pushes them to the fore. Now, instead of a four-panel gag, Fenris is developing real continuity and character relationships from the get-go. I am already WAY involved with the people depicted in the strip. You get the sense that there is already a grand back story and history to them. It’s a real thrill to watch it unfold in front of you. 10 extra points for making one of the main characters Irish.
Another real gift Fenris possesses is his dialogue. His characters have honest conversations that sound like things you and your friends might talk about. He’s like Kevin Smith in that respect. Great back and forth dialogue is a quick way to endear you to these creations.
Does it help that Fenris also draws his women super-sexy? Yes. Yes, it does. (Don’t tell Cami! Shhh!)
Check out Pepperwood now before it becomes so super-popular everyone will call you a poser for not checking it out earlier.

I don’t want it to look like I’m harping on you guys, but please remember to vote for Theater Hopper at buzzComix EVERY DAY! I’ll probably mention this again in Friday’s blog since the one is kind of buried underneath my Jack Valenti rant. Just a head’s up
We’re slipping down the list and we’re currently languishing at number 14. Last time we held tight in the number 10 spot for the majority of November! I’m positive you can propel us into the stratosphere again!
Remember, there’s a pretty little art piece feature Theater Hopper characters I whipped up as an incentive if you just click a little link! Me thinks I may have to head back to the drawing board and whip up another!

Well, it looks like we can do more than we thought when it comes to combating the MPAA’s ridiculous policies.
Independent filmmakers in New York won a temporary restraining order from a federal judge against the MPAA’s screener ban. For the whole story, click here.

To help them celebrate three years of European-flavored, gaming-related hilarity, I whipped up a guest comic for Little Gamers. Be sure to stop by the site and check it out. While you’re there, drop Madsen a line and congratulate him on the accomplishment!
