Excellent. I love “When did Staten Island become so cool?”
I think in one place you wrote whinging when you meant whining. If I’m wrong, please explain what whinging is.

Brit-speak for whining.

Engaging. You pegged Fox news quite well.
Looking fwd to what’s to come.

Global News is actually far from Fox News. Fox’s rating tank with Bush’s exit in 08. The Bush/Cheney wing of the Republican party is toast. And the faux patriotism of Fox News loses it’s luster. Global News is just as reactionary, but is much more like if Lou Dobbs got his own network - nativist, highly critical of big business and down to show the American public the reality of the war.

Another great and convincing episode. Keeps me on my toes. A good combo of 24 and DMZ while keeping it web-centric and unique. Savvy yet scary stuff. More!

Also — not that there’s so much journalism going on but check out Ogrish.com for some gnarly “reportage” sans editorial.

This is it. We hit the ground running and the road shakes with mortars. This is GREAT!

Fucking brilliant, I especcially enjoyed panel 14. By the way, the cats on the yahoo videoblogging group all love this project. Rockin’ stuff.

Thanks Josh. I figured you guys could relate.
May 23rd, 2006 at 9:31 am
Thanks for all your comments, lovely people. Just wait until you see what we have planned for this coming week…
May 23rd, 2006 at 1:53 pm
Absolutely excellent!! I love how you’re presenting the story in a grpahic novel, it really captures my attention! Can’t wait for the next chapter.
May 23rd, 2006 at 9:51 pm
You have my undivided attention thus far, my babies, as I suspect you do more people than you know. Make magic.
May 25th, 2006 at 4:14 pm
Amazingly FAB! Continue dragging me down this artful trail, kicking and crying for more…I am nervous but on my toes.

Chapt 2, page 13 rocks. Well, the whole thing rocks. Rocks over there in “the box” as they call it. But watching a version ABC’s James “Jim” Schneider going prime time on Burns’ reality leaves him “lost.”

My Critique Dan & Ant is that you need to re-do the pic on page 12. It should be “YOU REMIND ME OF A YOUNG ME, BUT THAT’S NEITHER HERE [NOR] THERE IS IT?”
But then again I thought you meant Whining like Nick did, but it turns out it means this:
=================================================
(hwnj, wnj)
intr.v. Chiefly British whinged, whing·ing, whing·es
To complain or protest, especially in an annoying or persistent manner.
——————————————————————————–
[Dialectal alteration of Middle English whinsen, from Old English hwinsian.]
——————————————————————————–
whinger n.
whinging·ly adv.

So maybe “NEITHER HERE [NOT] THERE” is a British cliché ???

Hey, us Brits didn’t even notice the “whinging” / “whining” thing :P
Love it; pages 13 and 14 made me laugh out loud (not good when I’m meant to be working and just waiting for some code to refactor). I’d love to be able to read the text on the LHS of page 11 panel 1 as well. Is “New York” a real magazine? The cover layout very much reminds me of “Wired” magazine.
Still loving it here in London!

IS Jamie Lynn Spears the pwt younger sister of Brittany?
If so, that’s the best jibe at pop culture this month…

great work… great comic
just one thing.. the rebels are the narcos in these days.. and they wont take bogogta.. it would seriously cut into their profit margins.. i’m not kidding you.
September 23rd, 2006 at 11:32 pm
Jamie Lynn Spears is britneys younger sister

Pretty good artwork. The author seriously needs to work on his spelling and incorrect usage of British slang by American characters though. Sorry, no American I know uses “whinging” and “bloody” in everyday speech.
September 24th, 2006 at 8:36 pm
Forget the whiney blog trolls, forget the empty complainers. Critics are artists with no talent who failed and now tear down others’ art out of bitterness. This stuff is brilliant, razor edged, smack em in da head kool. This comics artist loves YOUR STUFF.
October 8th, 2006 at 1:33 pm
I thought the appropriation of Britishisms was very realistic. I work with a lot of Americans who affect British speech and spellings, including “whinge” and “bloody.” For some reason they tend to be programmer types - anyone know why?
October 9th, 2006 at 1:19 pm
Why do people assume Newfeld is American? The reason he speaks with Britishisms, is because he’s British.
Thanks for the comments!

I read about this in Wired magazine. Every since I was a kid, I’ve always loved comic books. I’m fifty now.. This is really cool. I rarely send anyone any links to web sites cause most of them don’t impress me much. But this is really cool. This is the best site I’ve seen since the ‘Blackhawk Down” site that was up a couple of years before the movie. I sent this link to all my friends!
Great job dude!
October 25th, 2006 at 11:48 am
This is really cool man,!
November 5th, 2006 at 12:06 am
i’m only 2 chapters in to it and i love it. nice work!

Quick question. What did Jimmy mean when he referred to the CEO’s speech as “Hegel”?
