The System: Guest Comic by EatToast

Thanks to EatToast, who drew this and put it on my table at InterventionCon while I was home with that huge fever I mentioned. It’s been said by some that this comic pretty much sums up every System comic on the site. I’ll leave that to you the viewer to decide.
EatToast is an amazing artist who is also involved with Super Art Fight, where she dresses in this amazing costume and performs as an artist. Then afterwards she does hilarious post-game interviews (see video below).
Also, I posted a few interesting things over at my Tumblr account. I drew something cool and made two poster-looking things. You should go check them out here.

The System 431: Pirate Juice

Today’s comic was inspired by the most recent Nedroid comic, which parodies The New Yorker style of image / caption cartooning. A bit silly, but I thought it had some nice subtlely.
For those who wonder how a joke comes together, here’s the train of thought behind today’s comic:
Hmm, what should this comic be about? I said I’d do a caption style. I guess I should go read some New Yorker cartoons. Okay, there goes an hour. Now what about this comic? Do I have any notes written down? “Pirate juice”, what was that supposed to be? Oh yeah! This could be funny…
*10 minutes of Illustrator time later*
What exactly should the line be? Should it be that the doctor is lecturing the patient or apologizing to him? I think it works better as the doctor apologizing, like he didn’t know any better. I can do that just by writing “sorry” at the front. Nice. Aaaand Marty thinks this is funny. Okay, time to post! I guess I’ll mention how I came up with this in the writeup. Maybe people will read that.
Remember, any print of any comic purchased through the HilariAwesome.com store through the end of the month has all the proceeds go to a cure for breast cancer! Currently we’re at $0. Come on you guys, you’re making me look bad in front of breast cancer.

Designers Do It ____.
Yesterday I started making a series of bad jokes on Twitter that went like this:
Designers do it intentionally.
Designers do it with client approval.
Designers do it in italics.
Designers do it with Photoshop.
Designers do it under budget.
Designers do it with Pantone (TM).
Designers do it with typefaces.
Soon, others started joining in!
@konistehrad: Extreme Programmers do it two to a monitor … man we’re a sad race. 🙁
@spkr4thedead51: Designers do it on a wire-frame.
@MattMelvin: Designers do it the right way, until the client requests otherwise.
@spkr4thedead51: Designers do it in layers.
@AngelicHapa: Designers do it in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black?
@nocommayes: Designers do it thanklessly.
@MattMelvin: Freelance designers do it at home, alone.
@Sekelsky: Designers do it with white space.
@breegeek: Web designers do it in RGB

Cruggs. We has it.
Systemic (and friend (and webcomic artist (and Super Art Fight combatant) ) ) Jamie sent this in after yesterday’s comic about Crocs / Uggs (now forward known as Cruggs). I personally think Cruggs is too nice of a term for these monstrosities, and therefore Croots (Croc Boots) is more on par with what I think of them.
