1/28/2011 3:33:01 PM - qualcomm: This short was submitted to Acme on Hitler's birthday.

8/16/2007 12:50:17 PM - Lungclops: matza, in the first panel, am i to understand that fence guy is doing some sort of "wild and crazy guy" body language? (stomach foot here.)
8/16/2007 12:43:57 PM - Lungclops: urregh!
8/16/2007 12:38:25 PM - Lungclops: klassic
6/1/2006 11:19:48 PM - Will Disney (): (no comment)
6/16/2004 1:06:34 AM - John Slocum: Does that mean Mr. Coffee blew it also?
6/15/2004 6:47:44 PM - scoop: I totally blew it on this one. Sorry, Matza.
4/28/2004 7:31:18 PM - Not Lisa (): I think this guy is my neighbor.
4/26/2004 6:56:37 PM - Ferucio P. Chhretan: always give the middle finger as hard as you can. There's no room for soft middle fingers!
4/26/2004 3:08:29 PM - Tiddlycove: Point taken, Ferucio. Thanks.
4/25/2004 12:13:04 PM - Mr. Pony: I've taken to giving the two-fisted multi-level middle fingers. As hard as I can.
4/25/2004 12:02:28 PM - John Slocum: Everytime I look at this I see something new.
4/25/2004 8:26:20 AM - Ferucio P. Chhretan: Tiddlycove, it seems you've never been to an art critique. Comparatively speaking, this would have been the first five minutes of an hour long discussion.
4/25/2004 3:22:00 AM - Tiddlycove: The fact that there is any sentiment at all to find more humour in this than has already been found astonishes me. Can I reduce my score to 2 stars?
4/25/2004 1:01:18 AM - John Slocum: Look at the eyes - there's a totally different expression there. It's amazing what Matza accomplished with very little.
4/25/2004 12:59:25 AM - John Slocum: I'm sorry, I'm still cracking up at that panel 2!
4/25/2004 12:35:47 AM - Craig Lewis (): "Fence Guy."
4/24/2004 3:11:18 PM - Ferucio P. Chhretan: Interesting arguement you are having there Mr. Pony. I am interested in the Lerpa's notion of pictures=magic to the untrained drawer. I'm sure that must be how the cave artists survived getting their heads eaten at Tres Freres. Whenever I am asked how I draw the way I do, I always say that its all practice. I'm sure you've said that to people, Pony? And then they inevitably say; "no! It magic." Mister Matza, I am glad that you did this short. It may not be my favorite piece by you, but it brings up some interesting points. Seriously Pony and Matza, go out and get Angry Youth Comics by Johnny Ryan. You both may thank me. Or curse me, case being. And for the record I think in sock puppets.

4/24/2004 11:34:15 AM - Mr. Pony: The Lerpa and I were really just discussing that possibility. Here's what I think: With a very small number of moves, comic or graphic shorts can contain a level of exposition that would overload a textual short. Also, our mammalian readers respond, I think, to pictures (specifically of the human face, no matter how it's drawn) in such a way that they are infused with 'bonus meaning', either by the intent of the artist or otherwise. Not saying the pitchures is better--by the same token, A purely textual short can maintain a much higher level of control over the reader's impressions and emotions, and a skilled writer can evoke entire civilizations. A smart thing that the Lerpa brought up is that it's possible that some folks, at least subconsciously, see anything they can't do as some sort of magic. Most people can type, but not everyone can draw. Not that typing gets you even halfway to writing, but I think the drift is clear. The Lerpa, chime in if I've got that wrong. Anyway, now that we all know about this phenomenon, we can all avoid its pitfalls. Hooray! Fun things to think about. And Ferucio, you know I'm pretty much only reading Spider-Man. And any old Batgirl stuff I can get my hands on. Mmm. This short gets funnier every time I read it!
4/24/2004 6:00:23 AM - Ferucio P. Chhretan (): Mr. Matza, If you arent aware of, or if Mr. Pony hasn't shown you Angry Youth Comics by Johnny Ryan, I suggest you go get yourself a copy. You may find solace in that kindred spirit. Mr. Pony, do you really think the graphic shorts are getting higher ratings than usual? I think the ratings seem pretty on par with everything else. They're either a huge surge of good with a few bad, or the reverse. Occaisionally a mediocre set. But I'm still new here, so what do I know.
4/23/2004 8:47:25 PM - John Slocum: Who hasn't seen this author stupid-drunk dancing on a wall saying EXACTLY LETTER FOR LETTER what Mr. Potato Head says in panel 2.
4/23/2004 8:44:46 PM - qualcomm: yeah, slocum, that's what i been saying all day: panel 2, panel 2.
4/23/2004 8:40:44 PM - John Slocum: I can't stop laughing at that panel 2. I swear it's autobiographical, that panel at least.
4/23/2004 8:35:40 PM - John Slocum (): The truly priceless panel, in my opinion, is panel 2. Bless the soul that put in the effort to create this.
4/23/2004 8:22:02 PM - Dylan Danko (): This is so Viz that it must be Matza. Glorious!
4/23/2004 6:15:18 PM - mr.coffee (): Scoop I'm with you. What the fuck was the point of that? Which motherfucker wrote this turd?
4/23/2004 5:48:49 PM - Benny Maniacs: I think in pictures, and frankly I don't appreciate the Lerpa using the word "retardish" in that way. Both of my parents are retardish.
4/23/2004 5:35:09 PM - Mr. Pony: Wait, does everyone here think in spoken text? Do you hear it at regular talking speeds? How do you decide what words to use?
4/23/2004 5:32:44 PM - Mr. Pony: That sounds so slow! How do you get anything done?
4/23/2004 5:30:33 PM - qualcomm: more accurately, they think in spoken text, like a book on tape read by william shatner, say, or speech.
4/23/2004 5:29:18 PM - qualcomm: no, we addressed it. i told you that most humans do think in text, which is why people who don't learn language early in life are permanently retardish.
4/23/2004 5:25:41 PM - Mr. Pony: And still we haven't addressed that strangest of consequences of this particular point of yours; the idea that you think in text.
4/23/2004 5:21:27 PM - qualcomm: Pony, there's no way that's what you were thinking, because those thoughts cannot be expressed in pictures.
4/23/2004 5:19:57 PM - Mr. Pony (): And so.
4/23/2004 5:18:42 PM - Mr. Pony: My comment had more to do with the phenomenon of graphical and otherwise super-textual shorts getting higher ratings than usual because of their nature and not their content. The Lerpa's comment is, quite frankly, disturbing, since he and I were talking about this phenomenon on the telephone just last night. In fact, he is the only one I really expected to get what I was talking about. Too bad! I actually think that this short is one of very few on the site where truly mindless vulgarity really works.
4/23/2004 5:15:46 PM - Benny Maniacs (): You guys aren't gonna believe this, but I actually found myself jerking off to this wanker!
4/23/2004 5:09:00 PM - From Author: Nope. No larger point here.
4/23/2004 4:57:09 PM - qualcomm: Pony (with whose brain I am intimately familiar) thinks you were scoring a point against the mindless vulgarity displayed in much of the Acme oeuvre.
4/23/2004 4:54:01 PM - From Author: Not sure how to interpret Pony's comment, unless he's saying he suspects this is a reaction against good technique. If so, I had no such intentions, scout's honor.
4/23/2004 4:07:30 PM - scoop (): (no comment)
4/23/2004 3:56:48 PM - Ewan Snow (): He seems like a really nice guy.
4/23/2004 3:43:38 PM - TheBuyer (): WANKER! My fave so far.
4/23/2004 3:24:30 PM - Mr. Pony: Is it possible that someone's trying to make a point here?
4/23/2004 3:18:29 PM - qualcomm (): this guy is so righteous
