Big damn breakup
Get it? HE ALSO BROKE UP HIS PHONE! I kill me!
Well, I at least cripple me. Mauling, really.
Because we CONSTANTLY get people at conventions who are SHOCKED, SHOCKED I SAY that we’re in attendance: Mel and I are at A-Kon starting today. Actually starting last night, which is weird, since I’m typing this up Monday. But anyhoo: We are at A-KON 24 here in Dallas, until Sunday. (If you try to use this information to rob our house, you will face our housesitters, who are armed with Mossbergs and explicit instructions to shoot buck-and-ball center mass. No, not kidding.) We will be there representing FTF and Two Lumps (our more famous comic, for now). Cyanide & Happiness’s Rob and Heather will be there, as well as madame Jennie of Breeden, sire Fred “Trunks” Wood (looking for a rematch in our boxing tourney), the illustrious Juno (who also fronts and plays in one of my all-time favorite bands, Absinthe Junk and jesus I am slowly developing a huge bonerfied crush on that lass), and many, many more. Come see us! We’ll have the FOABS Shirt ($15 in person!), as well as copies of Hooray, I’m Evil! As always, I will be doing sketches of all our various characters (yes, including
Manuel the Goddamn Wonder Snail, I don’t know WHY so many people ask for a sketch of him) for free. As always at the cons we accept cash, credit cards, and donations of whatever horrible booze you want to destroy our livers with.
Seriously, what I said about Juno? Unf. Love this gal. I just discovered they have a video for this song! I have the album, and honestly, Death In The Afternoon is an outstanding mash of prog rock, goth pop, and something they haven’t invented a genre for yet. Think Garbage, if Shirley Manson played like 20 fucking instruments, and had a wider vocal range.
And now, cue the psycho-redhead…
mmmhmmm.
I just want to yell at Mick, “HEY! You can get the pictures down if you just tell the admins she didn’t have your permission. THEN you sue her!” Poor guy.
That would be good. Although, she’s in Tax-prep work, makes way more than Mick. I’ll bet her lawyer can beat up his lawyer in court…
Calling the admins about it would be good though.
That’s the thought that went through my mind first as well. Of course webmasters are notorious about not following up on stuff like that. I mean I know of a certain webcomic artist who shall remain nameless who took over 6 months to fix a broken link on their website.
I always go straight for the provider or datacenter now a days.
…Manuel the Wonder Snail. Perhaps because in the page you linked to he looks like a dick with a Viking helmet?
Fortunately, no one has a home phone, or email, or an address any more. Whew.
You gotta love how she thinks she can blackmail him into meeting her. Next she’ll be getting all weird and stalkerriffic like Stacy from Wayne’s World. At least Mick would be able to use a gun rack.
“Delete my pictures from the Internet.” said the guy who doesn’t know how the Internet works.
Man two in a row that betrayed him pretty good. Not good.

Mick needs to compare notes with Barbra Streisand. (If you don’t get the reference, Google “Streisand effect”.)
Let’s just hope the pictures in question, or video, weren’t good enough to archive. She thinks she can use threats to influence his behavior? Sounds like somebody who works in tax prep, all right.
oh for fuck’s sake this woman.
Sooo, blackmail. Way to burn any goodwill i had for her.
Is it bad that if my gf did this, I would not only be okay with it, but give her a big fucking high five? Someone give me Heidi’s number, a little comforting she needs methinks…
Nice to see Absinthe Junk get some exposure here. I discovered them through the lead singer’s comic years ago and they’re pretty good.
Do I smell tax prep blackmail next?
Thanks for the link to Manuel. I just read the WHOLE GODDAMNED THING. Point proven to Mookie indeed. Next time you’re at a con within the same region as me, I’m getting me some Wonder Snail sketches. Mostly to punish you for coming up with Manuel.
Reminded me a bit of the old “sixsixfive” pre-blog.
If this is the last we hear of Heidi, I’ll be very disappointed. With all of this set-up, I’m really looking forward to seeing the sparks fly if and when she makes a reappearance.
Clearly, the proper response is to have Omar troll the hell out of her.
this is the only appropriate answer, but i have a feeling Omar isn’t savvy enough to do much good.
Funny; I’ve beaten the hell out of old landline phones, yanked them from the wall, etc.
but I’ve never thrown a cell.
To my mind they’re too little and wussy to be satisfying. Give an old-fashioned handset, now there’s some heft and harm.
