Chic, IL Blatnet Drive for No Good Reason

Another post because research is just to hard.

Was it a AAT or a MTT that almost ran down JarJar in the begining of Phantom Menance. My money is on a AAT, but I've been wrong before.

 

Not knowing the difference, I'll say an MTT. I remember reading that somewhere, I think.

OK, looking up what "ATT" and "MTT" stand for, it was definately an MTT. The big, brown thing that hauled the battledroids around.

 

Thank you, I knew the difference between initials, but couldn't remember which nearly ran down Jar Jar

 

Ewoks rule, even Darth Maul agrees.

 

Seeing Darth Maul cuddling up with an Ewok doll is more traumatic than "Manos, the Hands of Fate"...

 

On a completely new tangent... Rex? You might want to change your signature line. It's cutting us off.

 

WEB COMICS!

Gotta love 'em... anyone have any favorites out there? (and Carrie, what's the link for PvP?)

Bonus points for Star Wars references in a webcomic!

 

OK, it's not like I haven't complained about the local radio ads enough, but dag-nabbit, they're horrible!

The latest offender is a local credit union. Here's how the ad starts:

"Which came first, the nest-egg or the IRA? The IRA, of course."

OK, so what they are saying, is that before the Individual Retirement Account was created by financial institutions, no one ever saved any money? And even that, the whole term of "nest egg" coming from birds in the great outdoors thousands of years before humans even traded shiny rocks as currency?

AAaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

 

Hey Thom, the link is http://www.pvponline.com

Is my favorite, I read it every day. Scott Kurtz's strip is about the staff of Player Vs Player gaming magazine. The staff includes Cole, who refuses to play most modern games, and sticks to Pac-Mac, Bret, the smarmy art director who dates, Jade, the resident femme who loves Everquest but can frag with the best of them, Francis which now that I think of it, reminds me of Sithman , and Skull the intern, who happens to be a 400 pound, neuter troll. With special apperences by Marcy, aka DevilFish on Diablo and the evil Max Powers, who, well is evil.
Of course I get the bounus points for this, because there are a ton of pop references in this strip, including Star Wars. Theforce.net has referenced these spots in the humor section. The site is updated daily and carries an archive that goes back a couple of years, so plenty to read.
And for you comic fans, PvP #1 from Image comics just came out with a Frank Cho cover. Great Witchblade joke on the back cover. There is also six issues out there from Dork Storm Press. #2 covers spoofs the Fantastic Four #1 cover and is great, following our intrepid hereos through a rpg superhero game. #3 is done in complete manga style. #4 is a Christmas special. #5 has a great Matrix parody. #6 is another chapter in the ongoing Jade and Bret love saga.
Phew! Is that enough? What are you waiting for? Go check it out!

 

Also, I want to mention PvP Striptease, a reprint of various web comics. Very Good!

And for those who don't want to read the entire archive, (tho I recommend it.) I've found some of the strips. Alas, I couldn't find my favorite one, so if anyone finds the Stormtrooper and Ewoks one, let me know the date.

For the next Costume Club project I think we should make Ewok Pelt coats...if we can get the stink out first that is.

Bosh

 

My favorite web comic would have to be Sluggy Freelance. It dances between drama and humor, frequently venturing into parody, with a cast of characters that includes Torg (freelance web-designer, good-hearted but not too quick on the uptake sometimes), Riff (freelance bum & inventor), Zoe (cute, and the most normal character in the strip), Gwynn (Zoe's friend & formerly-possessed witch), Bun-bun (switchblade-wielding Rabbit of Evil), Kiki (Curious. Ferret!), Aylee (cute other-dimensional alien), and many more! Great fun from the very first strip (in which we learn one of the many practical uses of the Internet )

 

Sin Fest

It is too varied to even describe. You will become addicted.

HazMatt's link for Sin Fest reminded me of an invaluable source for anyone in search of a new web comic... namely, Keenspot. There are more webcomics there than any sane person could possibly follow....
