Former Washington Webtoonist and old-time friend of Rosscott, Inc. helped set up a collective known as Bomb Shelter Comics.  Each year, they hold a Webcomic Idol tournament which is voted on and judged and stuff.  Sadly, it did not make the cut.  Oh well, there’s always next year.

I’m going to be out of town for a week in a couple weeks, and wanted to get a guest week of strips together.  This means getting 5 artists to do System comics.  It can be in your style or mine, and I’m pretty open ended on content.  If you would like to use the current style, I can send over the comic template and artwork I use for reference (if you promise not to swipe them).  Let me know if you’re interested.  Email me at systemcomic@gmail.com.

That’s all of you Joystiq people checking out the site.  Thanks for coming!  I do a comic a day, Monday through Friday.  It’s called The System.  Normally, it’s funny.  Sometimes it isn’t.

They are about wierd things, movies, video games, technology, working in an office, coffee, and biking.  Sometimes, they are about other things.

Thanks for stopping by, come back soon!  Subscribe to the RSS feed for updates.

Yay!

Oh, and R. “Diesel Sweeties” Stevens is looking for more readers.  I know you’re probably reading his stuff already, but I’m giving him a shout-out anyways.  I said I would since, yknow, we’re tight…

I know, I know.  You missed me!  Few quick things.

Don LaFontaine (the movie trailer narrator) has passed away.  Plenty of jokes come to mind.  What are some of yours?

Tigh / Roslin has a campaign site. (Oh, and I spelled Roslin wrong in the last post.  Why?  Because I live in DC.  20 points if you understand that.)

Every BSG episode in 5 minutes. YES OF COURSE THERE ARE SPOILERS.

Did you see yesterday’s comic?  One of my favs.

Hi all!  I’m trying to push my stats for the end of the month, to see just how much traffic I can squeeze out of August.  If there was ever a time to pass <a href=”http://www.systemcomic.com/”>The System</a> onto your friends, that time would be now!  Got a friend that’s a designer or generally in a creative field?  They might appreciate these:

• On clients
• On feedback
• On billable hours
• On design

Got a friend in the city who bikes to work?

• On biking

Got an odd sense of humor?

• On Medical Ailments
  
• On Humidity

I have added a new plugin to the site that lets you share each post on Digg, Facebook, or wherever else you are on the internet (or via email).  As you probably don’t know, there is a much better tool for this but until they come out with a WordPress installation, I’ll stick with Share This.  So click that little green button and help spread the comics you love to everyone you know!

If you use this tool, let me know what you think of it or if you know of something else that might work better.  Thanks!

From BoingBoing:

Graham Linehan just delivered the season three scripts for The IT Crowd, the hilarious, ultra-geeky Channel 4 sitcom about sysadmins. He’s shaved the script-delivery a little close and is looking for your help in coming up with set-dressing ideas.

This is it, Systemics (that’s what I’ve named you, the fans of The System).  Our chance to spread our message to the world.  Help me out by sending these comics to ben.capel@talkbackthames.tv (the contact over at The IT Crowd).  How about sharing how we all really feel about billable hours?  Crap sandwiches?  Crop Dusting?  Hell, even Jimmy the Murderdog.  Welcome them to The System.

What’s that?  Incentive?  You got it.  CC our email address (systemcomic@gmail.com) and if we make it onto the set of The IT Crowd, I will send a 19″ The System poster to each Systemic who helped make it happen.

I was wondering if anyone was thrown off by the URL issues.  The fact that this site is reachable in 3 ways:

• rosscottinc.com
• systemcomic.com
• notquitewrong.com/rosscottinc/

Does this confuse or bother any of you?  Does the fact that the site redirects from the first two in that list to the third an issue?  Do you care in the slightest?  Just planning for the future.
