What would you call the product that described in the comic? And what if you could see everyone’s farts? I wonder what color you would want them to be…

Store News: The Coffee Filter Shirt is still in preorder, and you should preorder it! Not only do you get an awesome shirt, but it shows what a great patron of the arts and of caffeinated beverages you are. PREORDER NOW »

Site News: The RSS feed issue you guys have been having? I’m still working on it (with the help of techier people than myself). I have the problem too, so it isn’t lost on me. Bare with me.

Contest News: Did you see Wednesday’s comic about lattes? Fancy yourself a barista? I’m running a contest on the site for you! Details will be up in a separate post later today. When it is, I’ll add a link to the details here. Here are all the details on the contest! Make coffee-related art, win shirts. Check it out »

UPDATE: Typo is fixed!

Note that it’s “Getting Up” and not “Getting It Up”. Check back tomorrow, yes a Tuesday, for another fresh comic along with info on how YOU can win one of the new COFFEE SHIRTS that is currently AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER. Don’t worry, if you win one and you’ve already placed the preorder, I’ll give you the option of getting your money back on the one you already paid for (or you get two, your call).

Howdy, Systemics. Specifically those in the MD / DC / VA area.

For those expecting to see me at Balticon in Hunt Valley, MD this weekend, some bad news. I won’t be able to make it this weekend after all. For those hoping to see me there, I’m sorry to do this, especially at the last minute. There are still plenty of great reasons to attend, like a great lineup of Webcomic artists and some good friends. Unfortunately, you’ll have to buy their merch and attend their panels instead of mine.

More updates on upcoming merch, contests, upcoming events and appearances, and whatever else I can think of soon.

It’s been reported by noble Systemics and friends that the RSS feed (or as I call it, the RoSS feed) on the site is acting somewhere between “Janky” and “Janked up”. I’m investigating and will be in touch.

If you fancy yourself someone that knows about things and would like to help me figure out the problem, shoot me a line! Twitter (@rosscott), email (systemcomic at the gmails), comment here and leave your info.

UPDATE: The RSS is now showing up as it was for me.  You guys? Working?

ALSO UPDATE: Still, the RSS that runs through Feedburner seems to have lost about 1,500 people according to Feedburner’s stats. This seems somehow impossible and directly related to site up/down issues. Anyone know anything about Feedburner and what the hell?

UPDATE: Since Reddit is the reason the coffee comic mentioned below was so popular, I posted this one there as well. Yeah, I posted my own comic on Reddit.  I was “that guy”.  Still, if you want to vote for it on there, it would make it infinitely less lame.  Like when you throw yourself a party and nobody shows up.

Is your life less complicated than your latte art? Feel free to discuss in the comments about this, coffee in general, etc. Speaking of coffee, now might be a good time to check out all the other comics on the site about coffee. There are more than a few.

Speaking of which, coffee fans! A NEW SHIRT HAS ARRIVED.

One of the most requested designs I’ve ever had. Based on the most popular comic ever featured on The System (in prints, comic form, etc), “My Body is Just a Filter”. Now available IN PREORDER from the HilariAwesome.com store. GO PREORDER IT NOW »

Why preorder? Why not just order? Preorders is how I can tell how many people really want this thing, and how many I should order. In the case of the last shirt to go up on the site (the “Beards Turn Laziness into Awesomeness” shirt) the preorder was able to pay for the first run of inventory (thats tens of shirts, not hundreds. I’m not running H&M over here). Now’s your chance to get a shirt with coffee on it and support the site until I can finish book 1, or at least work more on it so you can give me money in exchange for that.

So do your part, Systemics. Especially you newcomers. Show your appreciation and invest in the site by investing in a t-shirt. Check out this shirt and the others from the HilariAwesome store »
