I dunno about you, but frankly, I'm a little disappointed.
Pretty well situated with Keenspot, now, even if it meant updates have suffered. I've added (and removed) a couple of ad banners and applied to a couple of ad networks; the guys over KS have this stuff down to a science, for serious. With any luck, some of that might rub off on me.
If I recently canceled your Project Wonderful bid, please don't take it personally. I canceled all of my PW bids and took down the ad boxes completely; I'm trying something new. If it doesn't work out, I'll put them back, I promise. I feel kinda crappy for pulling the rug out from under everybody like that.
Before I leave you guys alone, though, one more thing: My friend Jane started a new webcomic, and you should definitely check it out. It's called Clockwork Game, and it's a mostly-true retelling of the story of The Mechanical Turk. Only one page for now, but why not bookmark it? It already looks better than basically everything else ever.
Everything looks good so far - I like the twitter box.
What does Screaming Guy do for a living? I'm thinking eccentric history or medical professor or something.
And if The Mechanical Turk is the thing I'm thinking it is... *wikis quickly* yep, I think I'm going to have to keep an eye on that comic.
I'm going to guess here that Dr. Bash is merely a serious alcoholic. The sort that has hallucinations, and the DTs, and all of that. Either that, or some sort of brain abnormality that causes him to have a sort of seizure that involves him blacking out at point A and wake up at point C, having no idea when or where point B was and what exactly he did there. It's like he's a different person.
So, thems my guesses. By the way? Bash? One of my favorites already.
Hey! My fan art! Neat.
My web reading feels more rounded now that you're back on track. And I'm kinda loving Dr. Bash. Lots of reasons, but the awkward social attempts are beautiful.
If you lived in a basement by yourself on the edge of an urban slum, you'd let your standards slide as well.
Oh dear, I think he has a misunderstanding about his relationship with ben....
Whoops, yeah. How embarrassed do you think Ben'll be when he figures it out?
I anticipate his utter horror with delight. Though he seems to have handled the Jakes and the Cock o' Science pretty well.
But if all this is going to be fodder for his column, he's getting dangerously near gonzo territory.
to the last two comments:
BAH HA HA HA! I've been as oblivious as Ben here. Boy, do the last two pages make more sense now.
That sheds new light on a lot of his dialogue from when Ben and Scip picked him up off the street. "Go home wif you? Oh, god yes!" and "Wait...are you a black man? Thass fine." heheheheheh.
Woo! Thanks for the link!
How much longer before we can preorder Volume 2?
Oh my god, Gwendolyn and Jerry, I hadn't thought of THAT either !! This would somehow explain his recent divorce / moving out, wouldn't it ?
I wasn't sure I agreed with Jerry... but Bash's last line, about how "that *really* surprises me," seems kinda... flirty?
Maybe the good doctor has his OWN theories about "First Man, Second Man" racial archetypes. If you know what I mean.
Yup. Pretty disappointed. After that rumbling beginning I'm wondering if he has dual personality issues...
Oh-- and woah! Itotally hadn't noticed that either!!!
Except when he said 'oh my god' I thought it sounded kind of gay, and I kept trying to read it in a normal voice but I kept slipping back to a gay accent...XD
Dr. Bash being gay isn't a huge surprise, him being a new character. What's got me is I think Ben's into it.
Edit to above: On rereading, I don't think I had that right. I return to my earlier assessment of Ben as an asexual doormat. He's "Scipio Lite."
This is very different from Dr. Angry-Wake-Up-Face a couple comics ago.
Oh my goodness. They were right, weren't they? Oh this is gonna be good...
