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!

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.

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!

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.

Guys, I am passing along a note from my good friend, THorum moderator and hosting provider Brian asking for your help to bring the server that Theater Hopper (and several other well known comics like Nothing Nice To Say, Rob and Elliot, Beaver and Steve, Joe and Monkey and many more) resides on.
Brian has been notified by the company that owns the server that we are FAR beyond the allowed rate of transfer – around 20Mbps at points when we should be around 1Mbit, or so.
Brian needs a monetary influx to upgrade the server to the point that we can avoid the server company imposing a transfer rate cap. A cap would greatly slow down the performance of the server and all the sites on it and we wish to avoid that.
Once we get past this growing pain, Brian is planning to launch his own hosting company, the proceeds from which should hopefully make donation requests like these a thing of the past as his company becomes self-sustaining and wildly successful.
Please donate anything you can spare, even if it’s just a dollar. I’ve already sent money onto Brian to help him pursue his dream of forming his own business and as a “Thank You” for the continued service he provides this site. He more than deserves our support for the time he has invested into the success of Theater Hopper.

In light of the revelation that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are now engaged, I feel as though my comic from last Wednesday is somewhat prophetic.
It certainly doesn’t seem strange that Cruise would propose the week Holmes’ movie opens and the week before War of the Worlds hits theaters, does it?
Please note heavy sarcasm.
If you’d like a little insight (or conjecture, based on where you stand) about how thoroughly creepy the whole TomKat affair has become, Jeffery Wells’ Hollywood Elsewhere column from this Wednesday is an interesting read.
And while we’re taking trips in the Way-back Machine, I thought you guys might get a kick out of revisiting this comic from September 15, 2003. It was a strip commenting on the announcement of Christian Bale being cast as the new Batman.
This is one of my personal favorite strips. Look how far we’ve come!

No blog just yet because it’s about 1:30 ayem as I’m wrapping things up.
But I wanted to let everyone know about the brand new Theater Hopper LiveJournal feed! If you have a LiveJournal account, add us to your friends list and you’ll be first in the loop when the comic updates!
I’ll be back later with some thoughts on the new releases this weekend including Land of the Dead, Herbie: Fully Loaded and Bewitched.
Mostly snarky comments, not much in depth. Although I plan to see Bewitched if there is time this weekend. Gots ‘ta have my Will Ferrell dosage!

My wife and I also saw Bewitched on Saturday night. Patti wanted to go to it bad enough that she endoured the Friday night show of Land of the Dead.
Bewitched – Be Boring. Okay, the inherent problem within the story is that Will Ferrell’s character gets too much screen time and Nicole Kidman’s character doesn’t do much of anything. I felt this was echoed and even magnified for the actual movie.
Some of the effects were cool – such as Michael Caine’s appearances in the grocery store, but it would take many more tricks to make this film interesting.
The end of the movie is a little sketchy for me as I was fighting sleep. I was doing those little head bobs during the last fifteen minutes of this movie, but I’m fairly certain I only missed a bunch of talking and an obvious ending. This A-list cast couldn’t wiggle their noses and save this script.
Land of the Dead: I am a fan of this series and am also pretty certain that the dead will walk one day, but this film was just okay. I’d say it was much better than Day of the Dead, but it doesn’t hold a candle to Night of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead (original or remake). If they have spent so much time with Zombies and are short on supplies, why do they fire 30 rounds on full automatic into the torsos of the Zombies? Use your head man! (and shoot theirs!)
