Comic for July 26, 2004
Spread the gospel
of Pirate Jesus!
This week we take a short break in the Pirate/Robot battle to catch the end of another battle in the War of the Jesi. I'm pretty damn happy with this panel. I like the effects, and I'm really happy with the foreshortening and clever use of foot to conceal Caveman Jesus's "junk". This is especially amazing considering how much crap I have going on right now. I'm in the process of moving out of Milwaukee, and I've been working all hours trying to finish this thing that I have to present at a library tech conference on Tuesday.
Pirate Jesus has Gooooogle Ads now. I know some people think they are pretty ghetto, but I actually like them. Targeted advertisement is just what the web has needed for a long time, and although sometimes the ads miss their mark, that often just ads to the hilarity of the page.
More often than not, you'll see serious Jesus-related ads on PJ, but there are also often Pirate-specific ads, or comic specific ads. Occasionally You get Jesus and Pirate ads mixed together and that is just perfect. You might even want to check out Science vs Religion again to see what ads pagerank has deemed appropriate.I haven't gotten the new ads up on the SCA comic yet (which I promise to conclude soon.)
I'm also throwing around the idea of doing a new comic series. this would be a copy-n-paste easy to make comic using some nerdy nerdy jokes. I'm thinking of calling it, "Nerd Core: The Core Wars", because putting a colon in the title makes it cool.
Putting alternate dialogue versions of my comics seems to have been a good voting incentive. So I'll try and do that more often. I hope that people visiting the Science vs Religion comic didn't vote for it because I accidentally promised I'd give them a Pirate Jesus action figure. See, what I was doing was using TextPad's find/replace-on-multiple-documents feature to add the word "action figure" after the word Jesus in all the comic descriptions on all the pages, so I'd get appropriate ads even though google can't read the text in my comics. I didn't realize that that would also change the phrase "You'll get a Pirate Jesus and a Science vs Religion desktop background" to "You'll get a Pirate Jesus Action Figure and a Science vs Religion desktop background." I'm sorry if I mislead anybody. ^_^
But for real, if you vote for Pirate Jesus this week, you get a Caveman Jesus Animation and a special comic featuring Caveman Jesus.
