Comic for March 1, 2004
Spread the gospel
of Pirate Jesus!
Now for a little culture. The background is a painting by Manet. Though I played with it a bit in Photoshop.
This week's What Would Pirate Jesus Do? is up! Personally I think Pirate Jesus is being a little harsh for a guy whose blood is made of wine. Remember to keep sending in those questions for PJ. You can email him at
.I have a slight redesign of the site today. I direct your attention to the navigation map on the left. You'll notice that the credits page has been replaced by Pirate Booty. This is where I'll be putting neat stuff like WWPJD, the official Talking Like a Pirate Techno Mix (based on an article by my friend Michael), and additional stuff in the future. Like fanart, if I ever get fanart.
Today is March 1st, which I think should be New Year's Day so that the names of the months match their numbers again (e.g. "October" means "The eighth month"). Anyway, the start of a new month means Top Web Comics will be resetting their vote counters. So make sure to vote early and vote often. This time it won't take PJ so long to get up to number 27 (or beyond) because he won't be playing catch-up with all the comics that were up before him. Apparently the last day of each month is "random day" on TWC, which means that the order of comics on the front page is chosen randomly. It's a cool way of letting smaller comics get a chance in the spotlight.
This is the part where I plug other comics on TWC that I enjoyed, with the goal of strengthening the TWC community, which will, in turn, bring about world peace and save the panda bear from extinction. TWC had some crashy time under its old management, but now it's being run by the folks who do Dungeons and Dorks. They've been doing lots of work to improve the site and bring the people back who left during the downtime. If you want more comics featuring Jesus (and who wouldn't after PJ), you make also enjoy Grim and the JC, Combustable Orange (featuring Super Demolition Christ), or Bumelant. In other, non-messianic news: J-Dizzle is never not hilarious. Penguins are made of cute. Anarcadium has forever changed my reacton to speed-traps. Future Pig and Blade Kitten are mysteriously underrated. Dungeon Crawl used to be a Baldur's Gate sprite comic, but it got better. Finally, Dragon Warrior 101 appreciates slimes even more than I do.
It is very important to remember that, while these comics are good, none of them are as good as Pirate Jesus. By no means should you vote for them instead of my comic. Speaking of voting. This weeks voting incentive is pure, old-fashioned nightmare fuel. Enjoy!
