how to fix a broken keyboard

Talk about today's strip, or anything about the comic in general. You can also talk about any of the characters... but don't expect a response. They're FICTIONAL, you guys... sheesh. :)

If in fact this really happened, I would assume since it wasn't Greg that drew the Serenity comic that he forwarded the guy the names of the guest strip cartoonists. Gil Dowling and Keith Quinn (of localheroes.us) deserve the tickets for their great comic.

Surely Greg didn't just take credit for their work and accept the tickets for himself. Right?

What happened in today's comic that you haven't seen yet

What the fuck is wrong with people? Create a brand new thread for today's comic? Fine. Put the punchline in the subject line? NO. Don't even make the post ABOUT the subject line? NO times TWO.

You want to know the RIGHT way to do it? Ask Jedit. Only TWELVE POSTS TOTAL, and still smarter than you and both more observant and more considerate. Check out the thread Jedit made with the TREMENDOUSLY more appropriate title: Comic for 9/21/05. You're 32, Sinkuu. You should be able to figure this shit out. And no, you can't use the fact that you're in New Jersey as an excuse.

Deacon, if your fear of a spoiled comic is so great, why don't you use the RSS

He covered that before, If it is a day when the comic dosn't update by the time he checks it and he is browsing the forums and a new thread appears moments after the new comic...

Fear the sharp toung of the Deacon :shifty:

Actually, what I fear is Deacon's current Sig!

The rest of him I can easily ignore if he's inordinately offensive. :wink:

The RSS will tell you when a new comic is up, if you want there's programs that give you a huge popup telling you a new comic is out, or even open the comic automatically.

Ward5x5, take your comments here:

Oh, wait, YOU ALREADY HAVE.

I swear, when asking this same guy to cover his mouth when he sneezes, he'd just say I could move out of the way.

The point is that he shouldn't have to be forced to look at the comic before coming to the forums. It's not difficult at all for someone to show something called "courtesy." You see, "courtesy" is describe as:
The frickin' dictionary wrote:n 1: a courteous or respectful or considerate act 2: a courteous or respectful or considerate remark 3: a courteous manner [syn: good manners] [ant: discourtesy]
Consider that Deacon (or anyone else) may not, for some reason, have viewed the comic before. Show that you are a courteous or respectful person by posting the title as a non-spoiling, and even more useful "Comic for INSERT DAY HERE." Not only will you be proving Deacon wrong by not being an asshat, but you won't have to be lectured on shit you should have learned as a child.

Now, as to the people asking about the serenity comic, that's actually more of a side point to the whole thing. This person is someone I ran into at comic con last year, so we already know each other, and she knows of my Firefly fandom. So it's not really pertinent.

I'm glad Greg was invited to go. He has a been sharing his great comic for free with hundreds of thousands of people for years, getting such invites is a nice little perk of such an effort.

Of course, if Gil and I received similar invitations, I don't believe we would refuse them. ;D

I wasn't meaning to sound as though I was in ANY way demeaning your guys' effort, in case I sounded that way. I really dug your serenity-based guest strip. :)

I was just saying that the invite was more because we'd met before and all that, not just because of the one comic.

ONE should realise that I always check the comic anyway by the website link... therefore Deacon was just wasting space by going through a hissy fit about not spoiling it for the rest.

If you don't like that

Wait wait wait...

Is he basically saying that becuase he doesn't have a problem everyone else should stop complaining?
