Page 157 – Irreconcilable Differences
Oh sure, horribly screwing up untold numbers of human lives is fine, but hurting little furry kitties? NOT COOL. For the record, I’m not trying to paint some sexist picture of girls and their weakness for cute things, that’s just my own personal feeling showing through. I don’t care if you invented a machine that cures death itself. If it runs on kitties, I don’t wanna know you. (The whole selling-of-dead-organs thing, however, is LESS representative of my own worldview)
Also, as I write this, I see that Far Out There has crept into the Top Webcomic top 100! Thanks for voting, guys!
(Historical note: his was obviously back before I fully understood just how volatile the TWC rankings could be. As I write this at 3:30am on New Year’s Day, Far Out There is up in the top 20, but that’s just because all the more popular comic’s fans are too busy to vote on anything right now. It’ll almost certainly drop at least a hundred spots by dawn. On a less statistical note, Layla’s back to being a bit off again. Not that she WOULDN’T be involved in a grave-robbing/organ-bootlegging business, but it’d be less a case of just doing it straight up and more a case of playing an illicit funeral home for exiled war criminals and black market mob boss transplant service against each other. You know, people who DESERVE to get ripped off… and have weird stuff done to their organs.)
Re: Historical note – Ha! 7:23pm on the same day and FOT is still in the top 20! (it’s #27)
You need to have more faith that your fans have no life and nothing better to do on New Years than vote for webcomics! No, wait, that didn’t sound right….
Wow, the readers of all those other comics must have REALLY partied hard last night! 😀
I guess I partied too hard also, since I apparently thought #27 was in the top 20. After extensive research, I’ve discovered that 27>20. Who knew? Darn that not-being-able-to-edit-comments-later policy!
In any case, here it is 12 days later and you’re still at #65. Not bad for a comic on hiatus! (or I guess those other comics’ readers must have been even more hungover than I suspected.)
I’m really surprised by how long this has lasted. I finally remembered to reinstate those Bonus Incentives on the 1st, which I guess is why the ranking would be higher than it was last month, but I never expected it to stay up in the double digits THIS long. I wonder if a whole bunch of other ex-SmackJeeves comics have been slacking off on their TWC campaigns right now too? (Like, not having a button any more or stuff like that)
Not only is it lasting, you’re improving! Up to #53 now!
If only you had gone on hiatus years earlier, you could be in the Top 10 by now! 😀
(There may be a flaw in that logic somewhere, but I’m no professional nitpicker or anything, so I wouldn’t know)
This is truly the American Dream, right here
