The 300: Bla Bla Bla Bla, Then Some Comics

Oh, hey there! Fancy meeting you here. This is the 300th post for the DCR, and I just wanted to say thank you for following us. There will be a much more elaborate post next month when we hit the one year anniversary, but I want to take this opportunity to announce some exciting new changes to our website.

The biggest new addition you will see starting in our second year is the first (to our knowledge) comics review podcast! We will start releasing the podcast right around our anniversary, hopefully with updates on a weekly or bi-weekly basis from then on. We still need a good name for the program, and we are always looking for new people to interview. Associated with the podcast though are the first actual costs for our website beyond buying the basic domain rights and this is where I am reaching out to our readers. Just today I added a PayPal donation button to the left sidebar and we will be pestering you like a Public Radio host for the next few weeks to raise funds for this new venture. ANY AMOUNT IS APPRECIATED! All funds raised during this drive (and I guess any time in the future too) will go directly towards website operating expenses and upgrades.

The ultimate goal here is to become self-sufficient from ad revenue. With the recent change from our old ad service to Project Wonderful, we are growing closer to that reality every day. If you are a publisher, I cannot recommend their service any more highly. We have lots of buttons on our website that are still free and we would love for you to advertise with us! Thank you so very much again for reading this crazy little comic blog, here finally are the comics - the actual reason you have come here today.

I can usually ignore the overt sexual connotations associated with the words "stimulus package" in my everyday goin-ons, but when you put stimulus package and ding dong in the same sentence, the taint is too overpowering to the senses. If this latest "package" doesn't get the economy going, maybe they should throw out all inuendo and just call it the "Big Floppy Donkey Dick", or BFDD for short.

99% of the time, no one can argue with Rat's logic, but in this situation I have a major bone to pick. People use "How are you doing?" as "Hello" all day/every day, even though they don't really give a shit how you're doing. If you ever say anything besides "good" in reply, people have no idea how to react. So I just say "good" and then refuse to ask them how they are doing back. HAYD is not a greeting people. Don't use it in passing, in a rush, or any time you're unable to really find out the mental state of the person you're asking. Woa, pet-peeve of the century there.
