There really isn’t a punchline to today’s comic. The whole thing is more of a conceptual exercise. The situation is the joke. I hope it goes over.
Aside from the whole “we can’t reach each other because we’re calling at the same time” bit, today’s comic is true to real life. Neither Cami nor Jared’s wife Patti are the least bit interested in seeing Hellboy. Women – What’s wrong with them? I’ve been looking forward to this movie for a long time. To me, it’s the first summer blockbuster of the year – and it’s barely April! Any film that casts Ron Perlman in the lead has my support. Jared and I are catching a matinee on Saturday.

With that said, I need to get down to business. On Wednesday I announced that Theater Hopper is taking pre-orders for our first t-shirt. All the information you need can be found in the store. We’re taking pre-orders through the month of April. So for those of you who complain, “Gee, I’d really LIKE to buy a shirt, but I don’t have any money!” this gives you at least TWO pay periods to get your ducks in a row. Sit down with a piece of paper and a pencil and put a Theater Hopper t-shirt in your monthly expenses!
I should probably also mention that I dropped the price of ALL posters by a dollar. So if you were thinking of decorating your walls, now is a good time to get in on a good deal. Remember, every order from our store comes with FREE STICKERS!
One last bit of business: Cami and I will be out of town next week starting Wednesday and won’t be back until Sunday. So that means you’ll only get ONE new comic from me next week. I already have two guest comics lined up, but if anyone out there is interested in submitting material that I can post on Thursday, Saturday or Sunday, you can always drop it off in my in-box.
Looks like we’re going to have good weather this weekend. I’m looking forward to pissing it away sitting in a darkened movie theater! Don’t forget to set your clocks forward this weekend!

For today’s incentive sketch, I tried to draw the poster for The Bourne Supremacy from memory. It didn’t turn out very well. The perspective is off and I’ve got some kind of contortionist thing going on with the way I have the character holding the stock of the gun.
Now the question is, are you going to vote to support Theater Hopper, or are you going to vote to see how badly I screwed up? 😉
I’m excited to see The Bourne Supremacy. The trailer released months ago sold me on it. I like the idea of a man on the run taking it straight to the front step of his pursuers. The whole “Where is he?” “Right next to you.” moment is a great cliffhanger. I’d pay the price of admission just to watch the five minutes after that revelation.
So I’m already amped to see Matt Damon portray Jason Bourne again, but I think I raised the bar a little when Cami and I decided to rent The Bourne Identity earlier this week. Can you believe we hadn’t seen this film up until now?
I guess when I looked at Identity, I saw all of these European locations and immediate thought of that OTHER Matt Damon identity/trashing about Europe flick, The Talented Mr. Ripley. I knew one film had nothing to do with the other, but I didn’t much care for Ripley and I think that’s what was keeping me away.
Still, if Supremacy is even half as good as Identity, I think we’re in for a treat. It’s like a James Bond movie without all the gimmicks. Bond is a comic book character. Bourne is rooted more in reality.
I have some other thoughts that I’ll be back with soon, but in the meantime, please visit our newest advertiser Hejhox. You gotta give points to a comic as creatively titled as that. Plus it’s funny! Tell them I sent you.
