Webcomics Weekly #12

Joel

Whether you are in webcomics or not, all Undies can benefit from listening to Webcomics Weekly. Scott, Brad, and Dave provide tons of great stuff in episode 12, which touches on:

  • advertising models;
  • staying true to your voice;
  • learning by doing;
  • editorial cartoons;
  • fighting through tough early startup phases; and
  • many, many references to the YMCA for some reason.

These talented folks have accumulated an invaluable store of tacit knowledge, and they’re cool and committed enough to share it with the world.

Subscribe to their RSS feed here and listen regularly.

merchalert: Diesel Sweeties; Scary Go Round.

Joel

Remember this simple rule*: Support your Undies, and they will support you back.

*Well, it’s more of guideline than a rule.

Having stumbled into autumn’s holiday stretch run, Diesel Sweeties generously extends some seasonal cheer.

Halloween Freak-Out!

posted by rstevens on October 29th, 2007

I awoke this morning and realized it’s practically November! This stupid warm October tricked me. We’re about three weeks from the beginning of the Christmas rush and I need more space for the new shirts I’m working on.

Let’s do free shipping in the USA & Canada and $5 shipping per shirt internationally on all DS t-shirts until the stroke of midnight on 11/1. This will also be the last week to get your hands on Pixel Communism and the current edition of the CRUSH ALL HU-MANS! shirts.

Btw, Richard, I think they also might have tricked us all by moving the whole Daylight Savings Time thing back a little bit. Doesn’t the time change usually happen earlier? It seems like night starts falling at 4 or 5 p.m. again by mid-October, not this new November turn. I’m sure Alex Jones has his theories as to what is really going on with this manipulation of our calendar. If you know the latest from Prison Planet, please feel free to share.

TV Guide 2007 Online Video Awards

posted by Gregg and Evan Spiridellis

TV Guide has announced their nominees for the 2007 Online Video Awards… and have been kind enough to nominate our presidential mash up of the Star-Spangled Banner for the category of “funniest web video”! High fives, elbows, and head butts all around!

Best of all, they’re letting everyone and their proverbial grandmother vote on it! Click here to vote on TV Guide’s website.

Click here to watch the clip at JibJab.

And while you’re there, why not sign up so you can personalize your own Sendables and share them with your friends?

What’s a Sendable? Read their announcement and get rolling.

Meth Minute # 5: Mike Tyson’s Brunch Out

Joel

About This Video: This is episode 5 of “The Meth Minute 39″, an original series of short cartoons by animator Dan Meth.

What happens when the hipster brunch scene meets the 8-bit Nintendo rage of boxing icon Mike Tyson? This, apparently. This cartoon includes adult language, so we recommend you watch it twice on your iPhone while sipping a mimosa.

For more Meth Minute 39, visit http://www.methminute.com


Aaron Simpson of Cold Hard Flash hung out with Dan Meth recently.  You can read about it here.

Btw, it is officially time to stop complaining about the lack of good television. Let it go.

Embrace the web. Thank the Undies with your support.

another Internet-hit compilation

Joel

Just a few weeks removed from “Internet People” of Meth Minute 39, we have “We Didn’t Start the Viral:”


Many included clips feature one-off viral phenomena that quickly emerged from and returned to nowhere. It’s most interesting to note the appearances by Undies who have established successful, ongoing enterprises.

Bittersweets

Despair’s Bittersweets — The Valentine’s candy for the rest of us — come in two downtrodden collections, Dejected and Dysfunctional.

  • PROG FAN
  • WE HAD PLANS.

Dysfunctional sayings include:

  • RETURN 2 PIT

  • U WATCH CMT

I couldn’t help but think about these candies after reading a couple of comics today.

Enjoy:

Recent Undie goodness:

  • Get out your credit card. Share the Despair. You can see all five new Demotivators here. I think this one is my favorite.
  • Strong Bad answered an email about business travel. His commentary on webcomics last week reminded me of a classic from the Penny Arcade archives. It seems Gabe and Tycho anticipated the joke by, oh, about eight years.
  • Tiki Bar TV unveiled their latest, Ice Breaker. Check the awesome new mug at the end of the episode.
  • Just in time for Halloween, JibJab has served up two zombie reels (one featuring Democrats, the other Republicans) for their popular Starring You series of Sendables. Undie cat Aaron Simpson created his; you can, too.

Click the mug to get your drink on:
