The observant among you may have observed the new favorites icon for this site up there in your address bar. If you can’t tell what it is, here’s an extreme closeup:
This wordless expression of comics curmudgeonry was graciously created and submitted by faithful reader 2fs. The inimitable Doug Mayo-Wells supplied some advice on getting the file in the right format.
Hey kids, I need to move all my various Web-based enterprises to a new Web host. This will involve some wonkiness for the next few days as the various name servers across the Internet learn that joshreads.com and comicscurmudgeon.com should point to a site hosted by SilverLime Communications rather than a site hosted by Revise Media. To make a long, boring, geeky story short, for a period of a few days following the changeover (which should happen tonight or tomorrow), some computers will see the site hosted by my old host, while others will see the site hosted by the new one. I won’t be updating any content until the changeover is complete (probably next Monday or so), but if you post comments on a post or in the forum on the old site, it won’t be reflected on the new one. All I can say about that is: sorry! Discussion is just going to be a little weird for a few days.
If you’ve forgotten — and if my anemic sales are any indication, it appears that you have — there are wacky, Brick House-inspired workout clothes available from my CafePress store. Today I received a couple of photos of isometricians in action. First up is faithful reader Mooselet, who will be baffling people Down Under with her new tank top:
I also got this pic from my friend Matt, who is chipping in a little bit of his pathetic grad student salary to support my blogging efforts. Now, I happen to know that Matt is a wiry, spindly fellow — he’s not Brick House scrawny, but, at my wedding when I last saw him, he sure wasn’t as beefy as he appears in this pic. Either this sleeveless T is designed to accentuate the physique, or those isometrics really work!
Both have joined the cavalcade of models in my sidebar ads. Click on their pics at any time to acquire these fine garments or any other classic bit of Comics Curmudgeon gear — the “More Zippers, Mule!” shirt that started the craze, the “Free Hutch” shirt that cried out for justice, or the “Roadside” thong that no one’s had the guts to have their picture taken in yet. Spend your money there today! I command it!
