This south park is about “canada” going on strike. Basically it’s a parody of the writers strike. In order to try to raise money the kids try to make ‘internet money,’ and when they go to collect it, they meet with a handful of internet fads including Chris Crocker, Tay Zonday and the Tron Guy. They all get into a fight and let’s just say the sneezing baby panda’s mom does very well.
Very funny/reality defining moment is of course at the end when Kyle tells us about our lesson, which to which he explains in detail how the internet is not yet a mature and viable form of distribution yet. This is fantastic considering I watched the entire episode this morning for free online.

Random furry generation, sushi, get your own personal assistant, a steampunk band, and make fun of people who can’t sing.

I miss our time together, my dear friend. I’m sorry for neglecting you. I just haven’t had as much time for you as I have had previously. I have messed up the vlog thing, I need to get back on that. I also haven’t been posted as many links, as a result of not having time to browse around much during the day. I promise you I will be back and internetting soon.

Dear Webcomic Creator,
I recognize this is a booming ‘industry,’ and it’s becoming easier then ever to create and host your webcomic. Many of your comics have been brought to my attention by the awesome advertising of ProjectWonderful. For this I am grateful. It has even inspired me to try to scrape together one myself.
However, once I click through to your webcomic, more often then not I am greeted by a stark page, simple navigation controls, and most importantly NO SYNOPSIS OF WHAT THE FUCK YOUR COMIC IS ABOUT. My interest may have been piqued by a graphic or the title, but if I have to try to read more then a page or two of the comic, especially if it’s not story-driven, I am going to leave.
If you can’t bring yourself to do this, then at least HAVE A ROSTER OF CHARACTERS WITH SHORT DESCRIPTIONS. I’ll take a quick peek and see if there are any that I relate to, think are cool looking, or want to have sex with. Odds are if any of the three are true, I’ll be sticking around, or at least visiting every so often.
You have approximately 100 words to inform me as to what the hell or who the hell your webcomic is about. Treat it like a pitch; even if your webcomic is not about anything in particular, TELL ME THAT. There’s nothing wrong with the usual “This is just based on some funny things myself and my friends have done,” it’s just nice to know that starting off.
If you can’t bring yourself to do either, then at least subtitle the comic appropriately. Here’s a good examples of this concept…. (anyone have any more?)

After knocking on the door and being in the top 10 an impressive 16 times, 7-Eleven Inc. has claimed the top spot of Entrepreneur’s 29th Annual Franchise 500 for the very first time.
The funny thing, however, is the picture and the slogan:

I’m rushing out and getting a coke slurpee ASAP.
