Stuff we want to talk about
Monday, October 16th, 2006

As the title to today's comic points out, maybe I do just hang out in the wrong image boards. I showed this strip to my friends when I first drew it and all of them said "Uhhh, where the fuck do you go when you're online?" The answer to that is "I don't know." Whenever I'm about to go online, everything blacks out, and I don't regain consciousness for some hours later, and by then I'm usually covered in stripper blood, or have 15 boxes of stuff from Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond.com, and Lacy's Fuzzy Handcuffs and Whips.com on the way. And a dead stripper/hooker in my garage.

Other than that, the only thing that got my hopes up so high this past week only to have them bashed against the rocks of reality before the week was over was finding out that a new Giant Robo anime is in the works. True, it isn't going to be a sequel or a prequel to the greatest OVA ever made, but it was first reported that at least Yasuhiro Imagawa (the main man behind the 90s OVA) was going to be directing it, based off the original manga (and I was sure that he would definitely bring in new elements all his own to make this project just as spanktacular as his other GR, and the three episodes of Getter Robo he did before he was yanked from the project [and, if anybody wants to know exactly WHY he was pulled from that project, give me an email. I was only one of four people in the room at Animazement '99 when the American translator hosted an hour + interview with Imagawa over the phone, and he spilled the beans completely about the true reasons for the split... Kind of pissy, but interesting nonetheless]). Then we found out the truth, Imagawa was not involved in the new GR series in the least, and would only be doing a new manga closely based on the original manga series from 40 years ago... Which begs the question "why?" Why even bother if you're not going to use the guy who actually MADE Giant Robo popular again? It's like saying "We're going to go and make The Hobbit, now that the Lord of the Rings movies did so well... But Peter Jackson and his WETA people are out. Fuck them. My son's 5th grade computer class can do all the special effects and my bitchy wife who can't even give a decent bj can write and direct it. Bonzai!" Why fucking bother.
