The wonderful gentlemen over at Fleen have been nice enough to cover this wonderful endeavor today:

In other news, new webstrip The System is doing some interesting stuff with a highly restricted visual vocabulary — it’s done entirely in the icons that make up informational/warning signs. As a platform for pure writing, it’s half a notch below Dinosaur Comics, but weirdly enough what it really reminds me of is a Lolcat.

Those things have a syntax and grammar all their own, and so do sign icons … you can’t just slap ‘em up there and have it automatically work. We at Fleen will be keeping our eye on The System and seeing how long creator “Rosscott” can keep up this very precise exercise.

I read Fleen daily and, let’s be honest, I contacted them to cover it.  Still, they don’t think I can keep up this “very precise exercise”. I BEG TO DIFFER.  I will take their challenge!  I WILL SHOW THEM ALL. What do you think, 3 months?  More?  How much until I’ve proven my point?  One thing is certain.  I will soon be demanding Gary’s famous moustache on a silver platter!

Gary, thank you for the post.  Hope you keep reading, and consider yourself link-loved.

They all go to the same place right now, but in the future may be a little different.  Just trying to make it easy for y’all to get to things.

I really like this comic. Not like it matters much to you jerks. But really, I think it turned out pretty well.

(See what I did there?)

For those of you that are new and wondering what the deal is, I recommend checking out what Bryan had to say. It makes me sound like even more of a genius than I really am, which is saying something. High praise considering he started it off with “Ok, so this looks really boring…”

Thank you to all of my comics friends who have helped this new site really take off so quickly. Marty, James (I’m waiting…), Dern, Bryan, Brian, and Nick, you guys have really helped me get this thing going and get me even more excited about it. Thanks!

Brian Wilson of Hookie Dookie Panic fame has started up a new comic.  It is about a girl with messed up eyes who sees things she’s not supposed to.  So far very enthralling, and in full color!  It may give you a seizure after staring at my comic lately.  Go check it out at http://www.geist-panik.com/

Thanks to Marty and Nick over at Dead of Summer for the first official shout-out to The System!  Marty says about the comic “I think the internet will be all over it soon”.  He also calls me “internet-brother-from-another-mother”, which is very true.  Those boys are practically family, which means I’m kinda mad at them for stiffing me with the chores when we were growing up.  Anyways, they do an amazing comic about zombies and Baltimore and The Protomen and chainsaws and other things that are amazing.  Check it out at http://www.deadofsummer.org/

I have a “you link me I link you” policy, so if you want some linkage love let me know. Oh, and you have to not suck.
