Let’s see here…

• Bad pun? Check.
• Web design reference? Check.
• Old school video game reference? Check.

Yeah, I think my work is done here.

But your work isn’t done! Some outstanding Systemic Actions need your help!

The Venn F%*king Diagrams shirt is up for sale. Lots of you were interested and haven’t preordered yet, consider this your best chance to do so. Don’t have the cash? I’d consider it a solid favor if you spread the word just the same.

Still trying to get that SXSW panel! If you could go to the site and vote for it, then leave a comment that would help a ton. The site is at 10 comments right now. If it gets to 20, I’ll do more custom art (like I did for the survey, see below).

Jami “Angry Zen Master” Noguchi is working on Puppy Cow, and needs your help milking the last 25% of the funding together. He even did a cute comic thingy with Puppy Cow (just follow that link).

Oh, and remember that survey you guys filled out? I lived up to my end of the bargain! Go check out the post to see some custom awesome artwork I did, and if you haven’t filled out the survey please do. It helps, and thanks to those of you who already did!

As per request, here are signs as twitter icons. After Venn F%#king Diagrams, I’ll see about shirts if anyone wants. If you use one of the icons, tweet me at either @systemcomic or @rosscott and say hi.

If you like these icons, check out more Twitter icons here.

Wouldn’t you be if your presentation software was that great?

Venn F%*king Diagrams may be a shirt soon. Thoughts?

UPDATE: Venn F&*king Diagrams is now a shirt! Click below to learn more / purchase from our online store:

Welcome to comic #400, and the 2-year anniversary of The System! I know what you’re saying, comic #1 was posted July 1st. True, but it went live somewhere around July 8th and y’know what? Close enough.

Since then we’ve seen lots of changes to the site, from some recurring characters to comics that have been across the internet and back (with varying amounts of credit thrown my way). I could not have made it this far if not for the help of my many friends (both those with websites and without) and fans who have encouraged and supported this project along the way.

Over the next few weeks you will start seeing some improvements around here, as some new personal opportunities have come up that will allow for some more time and effort to be put on the comic and its various accoutrement. If you’re a fan of the site and would like to do your part, check out the online store and consider supporting the comic and taking something home while you’re at it. If you don’t see something you like don’t worry, preorder for BOOK 1 of The System will be going up soon along with other pieces of amazingness.

For those of you less monetarily inclined but with plenty of free time, it always helps when you share comics on StumbleUpon, Reddit, forums, blogs, BoingBoing or any other sites you frequent. Or for that matter just participating around here by commenting on posts and talking back as I use this site (and Twitter, and Tumblr) to talk at you. I know RossMom always appreciates it, and at this point I think we can pretty much call her a moderator. And yeah, that’s my mom.

Also upcoming, I’m going to start posting a bit of a retrospective on how The System is doing in an effort to show you guys what goes on behind the scenes and also get some thoughts out. Posts about how I’ve gotten this far (if you call this far) and what I’ve learned along the way. For those who like that kind of inside baseball I think you’ll appreciate them. For those that don’t, well, there’s always the comic.

Speaking of the comic, can you pick out where all the panels are from? The art is all from previous comics starting between comic #304 and #399. See what you can do and post it in the comments!

Apologies for the delays in comics on Friday and Monday. Not a trend, but some big things are in the works around here. If they go through, at the end of the day you’ll see more comics so STAY TUNED! Comic #400, along with our official 2-year anniversary, will be Thursday. It’s not too late to get a card!

UPDATE: Greetings, those of you who came over from A Girl and Her Fed! Hope you like the comic, check out the archives and such.

This bonus comic is on behalf of my 1,000th follower on Twitter! Thanks, all! If you haven’t already, you can follow me too. I’m @Rosscott.

A bit of a change of pace from yesterday, I know, but file this under true story, Kyle.

For those of you still sticking around from Slashdot, thanks! Topics around here tend to vary around maths, biking, offices, graphic design, coffee and general sarcasm. While you’re waiting for more mathy things, here’s some ways you can get involved in the site:

• Send me cool stuff! I’m always looking for things to post about in the blog section. There’s a running series called System in the Wild where if you spot images like those seen in the comic you send them my way, for for that matter anything cool you find. Systemcomic at gmail dot com or via my Twitter account (@Rosscott) or the comic account (@Systemcomic).
• Comment on things! There’s no official forum here, but the posts have become a bit of a community. My mom posts more often than not (under the name Rossmom), and so do a bunch of other cool people. Share your thoughts, ideas, and whatever else you feel like. Just remember the old addage best known as the Wheaton Rule: Don’t be a dick.
• Buy stuff! Sounds capitalistic, I know, but the store helps keep the comic up and running. It’s better than donating and not getting anything more for it (because you are getting the comic for free after all). There’s prints, shirts, and soon to be more. So check out the HilariAwesome.com store.

You guys know I’m a big fan of key commands. This one kinda feels like a shirt, too. Hmm…

If you’re a big fan of the comic, it’s up on Reddit. Feel free to show it some love.

As for this past weekend, ROFLcon, and Super Art Fight, the short version is it was amazing. The longer explanation? Expect more on that later today / tomorrow.

The BCC is more than just a way of sending email, it’s an art form. Today we praise Steve Johnson, the one true master of the BCC.
