Greetings and how are you, Systemics! Once again we have a few examples of the type are artwork you see in the comic everyday seen abroad in a little segment called System in the Wild.  First up is Systemic Carrie’s find, which seems simple enough at first.  Click the link and discover what these two have to do with a Korean game show.  LINK.

This next one was too awesome for one picture. Systemic Ian found this one jewel of the Nile.  Above are screen shots form the anime GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class, which aired in Japan earlier this year.  I think I need to find and watch every episode.  LINK.

This one is from Systemic David of Infendo.com. It’s from a blog he found called Found Shit.  I think the rest speaks for itself.  LINK.

Well, that kinda killed the mood, didn’t it?  If you find some of these (preferrably without poop literally in them) send them over to systemcomic at gmail, at which point I will procrastinate about posting it, leave it sit in my inbox too long, then finally post it a month later and send you a thank you email.  Seriously, it’s more fun than it sounds!

Systemic Tom saw last week’s System in the Wild post, and decided to have a little fun with the mountain lion picture.  Thanks, Tom!  A true Systemic for sure.

Yes, System in the Wild is back!  Here is one new and some old posts that haven’t gone up in a while.  Find any The System related graphics, and send them in!  I’ll post them on the site when I can.  Systemcomic at gmail is the place to send, where I read every email that comes in.  While you’re at it, say hi!

First up is Systemic (and Twitter user) Hexink, who sent this in to me via The Tweepers. “Looks like your comic is integral to speech” he says.  Especially when that comic adds to your vocabulary, sir.  LINK.

Next up is Systemic Christina.  This is from Silver Spring, MD where pedestrians share the paths with penguins, apparently.  (No link here, as the rest of the pic doesn’t really give you anything that isn’t in this picture.)

Systemic (and webcomic fellow) Carter sent in this one a while back.  Worth clicking through, to see the rest of the steps to know what to do when there is a MOUNTAIN LION TRYING TO ATTACK YOU.  Consider this a public service message.  LINK.

That’s it for this round, Systemics!  I’m bringing back action items for you guys to get involved, so stay tuned!  Keep sending in those images, all.

While some of these may have been posted on the site previously (you think I have a memory of every System in the Wild post?) this set sent in by Systemic Tyler is a good grouping.  Link.

Systemic Owen sends in some from his summer travels.  Link.

Systemic Ruben sends in this one, which he calls “How to Defeat Daredevil”.  Link.

Of course if you want to send in your own System in the Wild posts, send them to systemcomic@gmail.com!

Yes, it is back.  I’m bringing back the System in the Wild posts, after what seems like a very long delay.  To those who have sent them in and not seen them, I will be posting the back log soon, so stay tuned!

Systemic Greg sends in this “soiled” post.  Poor thing.  The girl, not Greg.  Link.

Systemic Muffin sent in this one.  Some great culture jamming, and an interesting article.  Click on through!

If you find any, send them over to systemcomic at gmail!

Sent in by a Systemic through Twitter (I don’t know whom, sadly).  Some great interpretations here.  Link.

Sent in by another mystery Systemic, an interesting viral marketing campaign (or something). Link.

Thanks again for sending these, even though I have no clue who sent them to me.  Let me know if it was you, and as always send more over to systemcomic@gmail!

It’s been a while since we had a SitW post.  Not because of you Systemics, but because I have been lazy about posting them.  Due to some intake issues (IE I forgot to write down who sent what), here are some that have been sent to me by Systemics, and I’m guessing on from whom they were sent.

Systemic @Spkr4thedead51 sent this to me through Twitter. Some great, System-like icons.  Link.

Systemic @Daecabhir sends in one with lasers. Not the charging of lasers, just the blasting of them. Link.

Also from @Spkr4thedead51 (and Systemic Gui, thus proving we’re getting some good internet coverage) is an article, about a wonderfully defiled sign in Canada.  Link.

Let me know if I need to correct it in your favor, and please do keep sending.  Send in, as always, to systemcomic@gmail.com!

I have no idea what’s going on here, but thanks to Systemic Blcknwhtenred for sending it in!  You can send in some too, systemcomic at gmail.  Link.

This SitW post is brought to you by my friends across the internets.  Thanks to each of you, who are a constant inspiration for me to keep doing what I’m doing.  Which is not to say the rest of you Systemics aren’t, but they are too.  Yknow what?  I’m gonna shut up and move on.

First up is Marty “Too Lame For a Nickname” Day, co-owner of Super Art Fight, writer of Blast-O-Rama, and writer of Art Fight High School.  Apparently this is on boxeswhere he works.  The phrase “team hernia” seems appropriate as well.  Link.

Next up is from Noah “Skull a Day” Scalin, and the blog Your Logo Makes Me Barf.  I think that says it all, so here’s the link. Others in that site also qualify.

Ami of The Glass Urchin has sent in this one, from Deviant Art.  It’s a cute advert where the signs come alive and stuff.  I feel like i’ve seen a bunch of these sorts of things before, don’t you?  I just wish I knew what this was selling.  Link.

That’s it for now, Systemics.  Remember, you can always send in anything you think is cool (which hopefully includes system in the wild sightings) to systemcomic at gmail!

I got this email from Systemic (and fan-extraordinaire) Hillel_Kitty who sent this in a while back, and I am sorry to say I let it sit for a little too long. Still, here is what she wrote in:

I saw this flyer and thought “Aw, the System Dude likes animals! SHIT – That’s adorabull!”

But seriously, I wanted to send this in as a plea for help for a worthy organization. Action for Animals is a non-profit organization in my town that performs several important functions, including educational programs for responsible pet ownership, animal advocacy with Muncie’s City Council, financial support for pet medical care, and spay/neuter programs for Muncie’s many strays.

You see, Muncie has a very high percentage of residents who rent their homes. Too often, residents adopt pets thinking that they can hide them from landlords who don’t permit animals. Or residents adopt while they live in a place where pets are allowed, and then move to a new apartment and can’t take their pet with them. Unfortunately, the city and county-run shelters destroy their animals. There is only one no-kill shelter in town (Animal Rescue Fund – ARF), and it is always full. So, people let their beloved pets go, rather than taking them to a shelter that will eventually kill them.

This has led to an overwhelming number of stray cats.  In fact, last summer I adopted a pregnant, starving stray that showed up in my backyard. She had clearly been dumped, or escaped. Most of the strays in my neighborhood are skittish, but Rorschach just wanted to be snuggled, fed, and allowed to come inside. A day after we brought her in, she had 4 kittens. Luckily, all 4 were healthy, and Mama Rorschach handled the birth well. When the kittens were weaned, and big enough to be fixed, Action for Animals gave me vouchers to have all 5 cats (Rorschach and her kids) spayed or neutered. They also provided me with funds to get vaccines for the whole tribe. If I’d had to do this on my own, it would have amounted to about $700 (at least). With the vouchers, the spay/neuters were free, and the vaccines cost $20.

Action for Animals relies on donations. They provide so many important services for Muncie’s animals, both strays and pets alike, and desperately need any financial support you can give.

Systemics! This is your call to arms! Even if you can only spare a dollar, please send it in. Strays have hard lives, and might fall under the influence of bad individuals like Jimmy the Murderdog. Don’t let that happen. Thank you for sticking with me through this long message. I’ve attached a copy of the donation form (in black and white, to be printer-friendly). Please please please send a donation! (yeah, i’m not above abject begging when it comes to animals).

Thank you!

Oh, and here’s the image she sent in for the post.  Link.
