Rick The Stick – a comic on the Interwebs

Good morning Mattawoman, Maryland!

I sent the following twitters this week when I accidentally renewed my annual subscription to GoComics ComicsSherpa service:

• I’m an idiot and renewed for GoComics for another year. But I figured I just can disregard a few thousand page views per month on there – can I?
• Despite it being hard to get to, the incredibly small comic and horrible statistical reporting, I think getting that many pageviews is cool!
• I mean without direct linking http://is.gd/lHhM, how can anyone find that comic in this mess: http://is.gd/lHhW

The best part is I got a twitter response back from GoComics: “@RicktheStick you’re no idiot. Glad to have you for another year.” (btw: I do have to give GoComics some Kudos for monitoring twitter for comments about them!)

My reply: “thanks for the tweet, but I’d like you to show me your appreciation! GIVE COMICSSHERPA SOME LOVE! Please (I’m asking nicely).”

I also had the highlight of my week when Brad Guigar sent me some encouragement for which I was honored and blown away with. What? You’re not familiar with Brad Guigar? You know, if I wasn’t trapped in your computer right now, I would totally fight you. He’s the mastermind behind Evil Inc. (you should head there right now and I’ll forgive you) and a part of the WebComics super group over at HalfPixel or Webcomics.com – man, I’m still blown away – that was awesome!!! A million thanks to him! What about you? Your visit is worth at least a hundred thanks – so there you go!

What?? You’re still here? I guess it’s okay, I mean after all you could take that little arrow on the screen and move your mouse over the following link until it turns into a tiny gloved hand and get that pointer finger of yours to apply a little pressure to the mouse and click said link. That would magically take you to a page that would ask you for – wait for it… your email address. That would require you to take your hands over the keyboard and apply pressure to keys that would coincidentally spell out your email address. Finally, you’d need to head on over to your email and click the incredibly patient email that’s waiting for you – asking you if you really know what you’re getting yourself into. And it’s up to you to tell that email “HECK YEAH, MAN, I know what I’m doing and I am PROUD to get Viagra for the low, low, low discount price…wait. No, the other email. The one that gets you Rick the Stick in your email every weekday. I know it’s less exciting, but still – you get your “woody” every morning! Get it? Woody? Stickman? You see, you just don’t have to pay for that kind of humor!!!! Get on it! CLICK HERE NOW and fill in your email address – SPAM FREE!!! And thank you times a thousand!

Have a great weekend!
