It’s Tuesday and today’s Top Ten is the Top 10 Reasons to Vote:

10. “I Voted” stickers are excellent accessories to any wardrobe.
9. Because you’ll make Uncle Sam proud.
8. You vote locally AND nationally.
7. You get to vote who YOU want to vote for.
6. It beats letting someone else decide who your elected officials are.
5. It’s an opportunity participate in the great American debate.
4. You look really cool in a voting booth.
3. It’s a thankless job, but know that your kids, nieces or nephews may benefit from a wise decision.
2. Your vote makes a difference.
1. You live in the greatest country in the history of the world and IT’S YOUR RIGHT AND DUTY AS AN AMERICAN.

Yay America!

Do something you’re sorry for? Not sure of the best way to apologize? Rest easy. Sending someone Rick The Stick every weekday is a sure-fire way to let that person know that you really care – or depending on the person – that you really are an insensitive Neanderthal

Good Monday morning everyone! Hope you had a great weekend! I was fortunate to make some ground on getting back to having the strip done the week before it runs.

I was also fortunate to receive some advice from a webcomics pro – Brad Guigar of Evil, Inc – check out his strip if you can. He also does two others and works at the Philadelphia Enquirer. Funny thing that ties me to the Philly Enquirer – I used to do ads for one of their largest automotive advertisers – Gary Barbera – let’s just say my ad agency fired HIM!

Let’s just say you’ve had a great weekend. You’ve met someone you’re really interested in. You spent some time with them and you’re supposed to call them this week. When do you call? What time, what day? When is too soon? When is too late? Did they even like you – and how much? Here’s the solution – send them Rick The Stick all week by simply adding their email and let them CALL YOU to thank you…or ask you to never contact them again, but hey – at least you’ll know where you stand!

Today’s strip is brought to you by the letter N. Hopefully you find it humorous. Wednesday didn’t stand a chance as I was able to ink this strip and sketch three during my lunch hour. I also was able to get to some housekeeping with the strip so overall, I think I have a great start heading into the weekend! WOOHOO! Back to the Top Ten on Tuesday and Story Day on Wednesday next week – so stay tuned.

Ken

Did you know you can get Rick The Stick every day by either the website and it’s pretty graphics, through email every weekday morning and through an RSS Feed – yeah pretty cool I know. You know what’s cooler? Getting someone else to sign up for the strip – or doing it for them!!!

This isn’t working. The word isn’t getting out. The strip is not growing past my friends. Hell, my family doesn’t even read the strip. My wife barely reads the thing – AND SHE’S EDITING IT! I think this will be the last week I can do the strip. Between my job, the baby, my three fantasy football teams, freelance design and now a web project, I’m at the end. There’s no encouragement. No comments. No growth. No one is telling their friends. It’s over. I can’t put 30 hours into something only I enjoy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Of course I can! That’s what they invented porn for in the first place isn’t it? Oh wait. Wrong type of enjoyment. Just kidding on all of that – not the porn though. I can’t quit. I won’t. And your apathy towards sharing Stick Lovin’ won’t get me down. Of course I want people to spread the word, but this is a three year deal. I’ve commited to myself. Of course I want YOU to enjoy it. But I’m more interested in me anyway so, you’re on your own.

Man, I definitely cracked my self up on that one. Ah. Definitely some passive aggressive thing going on today… Okay my friends – have a good day, but feel free to share the love.

Ken

Ummm, where do I go with this one today? Normally, this is where I add a witty addendum to the post asking you to sign people up. It doesn’t work. Tell a friend? Asked. Sign up a family member? Recommended it. A sworn enemy? One of my favorites and didn’t work. Nada, Zilch, Zippo, Crappicola. Wait. I have one! No, that’s stupid. Okay, here goes anyway: dislike someone enough that you’d kick them down a flight of stairs? Well CLICK HERE NOW and fill in their email address – SPAM FREE – but they don’t know that!!!

Goodnight Broken Bow, Nebraska.

Good Monday morning! It’s time for another informative edition of:

RTS Update!

If you’re reading this through the Interwebs, that crazy new-fangled contraption made of a series of tubes delivering your information by trucks, you may have noticed the site has a new look. Yes that’s right we’ve gone from a two column post format to a three column. Let the wild and craziness begin! You can actually post comments on any strip at the bottom of each days comments. Cool!!! Do it!! Let me know what you think! Don’t be chicken, I can take the criticism, I think… *cringes*

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve gotten some phenomenal feedback from my wife, friends and co-workers. It’s great to have an awesome network of people to help improve the strip. This is a three year journey and we’re 8 months into it – if you haven’t already – let me know what you think. Also – look for Rick The Stick’s group on Facebook and feel free to join. I hope to be doing some give-aways sometime around the holidays.

I’ve had a problem maintaining my schedule trying to get ahead with the strip because I’m trying to use my lunches to toggle between producing sketches and now a midday workout. And it’s not working out as well as I’d hoped. Part of the problem is now I’ve gotten into a workout contest with some co-workers and well, as with everything, I hate to lose. So now I have to figure out a way to do my sketches and workout in 60 minutes during lunch…oh which by the way needs to be eaten in there too. Me thinks something is not going to fit in there. Oh well!!! The show must go on and it’s not about me bitching about something I love to do!!!

Tomorrow: Top 10 S.C.U.F. Football Slogans
Wednesday’s Story: My Dad and The Annoying Motorbike

Have a great week!

Ken

The Damndest Damn Blog

Rick the Stick is committed to minimizing his carbon footprint and would encourage people to STOP printing out his comic and sending it back to him with big magic marker written all over it saying: “THIS COMIC SUCKS”. Rick is aware of the problem and is trying to fix it by finding a less intelligent audience. Please bear with us in the interim. Won’t you help us find intellectually-challenged people by getting your friends (and family?) to sign-up to have Rick The Stick emailed to them every weekday? Save the earth and make someone happy – you’re a good person, you know that?
