Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Thanks man! Glad you're enjoying it!
There's actually 291. Was that a typo?
Either way I'm not pulling hairs, man. Thanks for reading!
Love it though. It got some genuine LOL's, and a whole lot of smiles.
Done and done.
Thanks man! Glad you're enjoying it!
Awesome! Glad to have you reading
Thanks a bunch for bookmarking!
And guys, you probably gathered from the replies, but the site is back up and working. DreamHost went down for a little bit... had a bug or something. All is fixed now, and should be working forever!
Someone mentioned the site layout - the vertical comic layout is great too. It's really perfect for the internet where you have to scroll down; makes surprise reveals much more effective.
Thank you! That was one of the first things I realized when I started making the strip, was that I could hide the punchline or the surprise for the very end and it'd actually stay hidden.
You want to avoid the "Tim Buckley syndrome" where you over-explain the joke, or you keep it going for too long.
Noted, man. Thanks!
Thank you! That feedback is definitely enough.
Awesome! Be sure to post a link to it when you have, and I'll make a mention of it on the site!
I'm really glad you gave it a second chance when you saw all the positive feedback. I am kind of worried that a lot of people might feel the same way and will not want to look at it because of certain examples of certain strips.
I'm currently trying to remedy this!
Speaking of which I could use some feedback. I want to try out something a little different for 10 pages or so and see if it is well-received. If it is, and it is easy enough to do, I will continue to do it. If it's not, I'll stop.
I'd like your guys' opinions on the matter.
Here's a preview of the 300th strip with the new style. Tell me what you think of it!
Alright, man. Thanks for the input.
I will try it out, and see if it works well. Maybe I'll just do it on weekends or something? We'll see.
ALSO: Guys! 300th page!
(More here.)
srsly.

oh man, people are commenting on your site and pretending to be people from your real life?
do the people you include in the comic ever really comment?
it seems kind of annoying that they'd actually pretend to be jen or something.
Oh man. Thank you. I know how you feel. I've got 3 huge projects due on Monday, and what am I doing? Watching reruns of The Office and Scrubs.
Imagine HAVING them! I have no idea how I hold my tablet pen.
It's not really annoying. I'm really proud of the people who comment against the people who are pretending to be people they're not. It's like they're the moderators of my site and keep everyone in order.
And Ricky has posted on my site a couple times (under the username RLS) with some minor "flaming," but the only person who really reads it regularly is Jen (I think) and I believe she's too... outside to post.
Okay, not really. At least I hope not.
Anywho, I love the comic, much like everyone else.
Allan you suave motherfucker, I have to take you out for drinks or something. Clocking Ricky just bought you a round at the bar of your choosing me boy!

I love this.
Awesome! There are not enough Allens, Alans, or Allans in the world IMO.
Thanks for enjoying it man! Glad to have you reading!
Hahaha, thanks man. Looking back it probably wasn't the best idea, but when I'm talking to someone named Godfather, who really cares whether I was right or not?
Thanks man! So how about that High School, huh?
You rock Virum. <3
Ass kisser.
But seriously, I didn't have the "highschool experience," so it's even more interesting to me - and it's cool how a lot of it still "rings true" and how much I can sympathize with certain feelings.
Plus your art is just so damn charming. Keep it up
Same. Kind of makes me wish I had those experiences, but that's what happens when you can't find that right "click" to bum around with.
Still, these are quite the read. It makes me remember a lot of thing about high school that I haven't thought of in years (both good and bad).
Heh, constant drama and homework. Fun times indeed. Although, you did play Strip poker so Hi5. I'm not that lucky.
Although, I will continue to follow this. It is good stuff.

I mean, theres just not much more else to say.
Thanks man! I plan to.
I'm glad I could be of assistance, hah. I guess if I make anyone recall anything that was important enough in their life to store then I'm doing a good job!
Go to some crazy parties. Maybe you'll get lucky?
You said a mouthful, buddy. Thanks.
I checked out Blankets, and I'm taking that as a compliment! Thanks man!
(I am head over heels for your strip)
Haha, I might just do that! If I'm ever running low on ideas I'm definitely going to mention my forum-going.
Also thank you!
