832!

I just looked and I have 832 hits at this site. That's almost a thousand, and probably only 500 are from me! If we all try real hard and go here as much as possible I bet I can hit 1,000 by 2009. Hopefully this means:

-People are reading my comic strip.
-They are coming to the site and reading it when they miss it in the paper
-I am not wasting my time drawing comics that only I am reading

So thanks to you, if you are part of that 832.

Also, I did not do that drawing at the top, it came up when I put "832" into Google. Isn't it cool?

Dear Reader,

I am entering a cartoon contest and I need YOUR help!




It's the "Charles Schulz" award and the prize is $10,000. Besides the face that I want ten thousand dollars, I also need to win this award to boost my fragile ego. So here's where you come in, you handsome devil: the contest requires I send in 10-20 examples of how great my comic is. So if you love me, and you have some free time, take some time and look through all the comics from this year and last year and take note of up to 20 that you think would knock the judges' socks off. Then write which ones you like in the comments section or e-mail me at IanSkylerBrown@yahoo.com.

If you do this entirely tedious and uninteresting task I will give you a nice prize, I just don't know what yet. I'll draw you a picture of anything you want, or buy you a king-sized Snickers (I would take the Snickers). Even if you don't want to find twenty, just telling me your favorite one or two is extremely helpful.

Comic today was a rerun, but tomorrow's is a return to expected hilarity. Also notice that I'm slightly changing how I do the letters.

Just wanted to remind everyone that you can download lots and lots (and lots!) of free, great, music from my friend Vishal's blog. I've picked up a ton of great stuff that I would never have heard about but now love.

Some examples of stuff I've downloaded from his blog:
-Ghostface
-M.I.A.
-Spoon
-Broken Social Scene
-Yo La Tengo

That's awesome!
