System in the Wild: Flowery Sign Edition
Thanks to Systemic Grillo for sending this in. He’s a homie, btw. Link.
This one has a ton of links there, so be sure to check it out. Thanks to Systemic Greg for sending it in. Link.
Here’s one from Systemic Sanketsu. He followed the link to The System from Girls with Slingshots, and has been reading ever since. As a huge fan of Corsetto’s work, that is pretty awesome. Link.
Thanks to Systemic Dave for sending in this one. Link.
Alright, that’s enough for this edition. Thanks to all for sending these in, they keep the site looking shiny and new without me having to actually produce more content. Send in stuff like this and more to systemcomic@gmail.com, and I’ll keep posting things on the site. Oh, and the comic. That too.

We’ll start things off today with Systemic Mike who writes:
This comes from a link posted by Lance Armstrong on Twitter, he said he was going to get Levi Leipheimer one of these.
Ah yes, we know that symbol well. First appearing in The System #2 and many times since. Link.
From another Systemic Mike comes this one, which he spotted LIVE in Utah. UTAH. Why would anyone be there? He didn’t say. Link.
One from Systemic Daniel. According to the caption, you pull the lever to make the stick figure fat.” Be sure to check the link, because there’s plenty more in the set where this came from. Link.
Finally, one from Systemic TisDone. This one’s a link to an “Engrish” Blog (which they HONESTLY call “Brog”) with a great sign. Class-y. Link.
Hope you enjoyed this edition of System in the Wild! If you find stuff, send it to Systemcomic at gmail dot com. Be sure to include money, just because you know you want to support the most altruistic of causes, me.

System in the Wild: Japan Edition
Systemic ARG has a friend named Sam. Sam just went to Japan, and brought some great pics back with him! Thanks for the double whammy, ARG (and Sam too I suppose). Link and link.
Systemic DJ Bogtrotter sends in this one. Did I mention DJ does a webcomic? Because he does, and you can read it here. Drinking makes you want to kiss fish? That’s as good an idea as I’ve had while I’m drunk. Link.
Last up is Systemic Jay. A sign for “Men and small handicapped midgets” as he puts it. You can’t take these signs too literally, Jay. Link.
If you find something, send it into systemcomic at gmail.

First up is Systemic Geoff. I would listen to this sign, I think it means business. Link.
Next up is Systemic Brian. Jazz hands when wet. Link.
Systemic Aaron sends in this pumpkin which he put together last year. A good time had by all if you ask me. Are they saying hi or trying to get out? YOU MAKE THE CALL. Link.
That’s it for this time’s System in the Wild post. Thanks to all who are sending these in. Expect another post in a few days, and keep sending more to systemcomic at gmail dot com!

System in the Wild: Big Post Edition
After posting posts 2 weeks in advance every other day for the past couple of months, the posts are starting to take up a ton of time. As such, I’m going to go back to grouping posts together. Thanks so much for sending these in, I just need to cut down on the amount of time I spend on this so I can keep working on the comic itself.
First up, Systemic Kim. She’s a friend of mine and also an amazing glass artist. So if you want to do the fire blanket dance, roll like this. Link.
Systemic Michael send in a bunch of great things. Included in them is of course the image above.
I saw this a long time ago at my former workplace. Just thought of it today while looking at the most recent System sighting. Link.
Incidentally, you should check out the Stick Figures in Peril group on Flickr. It’s home to thousands of examples of The System in the wild, many depicting hilarious acts of violence, clumsiness, and idiocy. Link.

And finally, this image from Systemic Hillel Kitty. That makes the billionth time that she has sent me something and you haven’t. I wish I had it bigger or had some sort of claim to the image, but sadly I do not.
Hope you enjoyed this extended edition of System in the Wild. It is pretty awesome that you guys all send this many things my way. Please do keep sending them to systemcomic at gmail, and I’ll keep posting them!

System in the Wild: Desk Edition
Welcome once again to another edition of System in the Wild, where you write to me with images of things that remind you of my comic, and I post it on the site. Systemic Hillel Kitty has done just that. She sent this in honor of comic #200:
I’ve been meaning to scan this and email it to you for a while. The
Observer is a magazine put out by the Association for Psychological
Science. Link.
Awesome sauce. Well, thanks again, Systemic! Remember, you can always send in stuff like this (or really anything you think is cool) to systemcomic@gmail.com!

System in the Wild: Farting Box Edition
Okay, so in my infinite wisdom, I’ve lost complete track of who sent me this link. Whomever it was, you’re awesome! (Seriously let me know and I’ll give you all the credit in the world). Anyway, the box is… farting on this guy? And he’s freaked out and running? Yeah, that makes sense. Oh, and when you’re checking out the site, be sure to see the other pools this picture belongs to. Some hilarity in there. Link.
If you find something cool like this, send it into systemcomic@gmail.com and I’ll post it here on the site (and hopefully remember to write down your name)!

Of course, if you see something cool. Send it to me at the systemcomic at gmail web address email addy thingy.
