Hard work is definitely rewarding! I'm rewarded with stress, constant drowsiness and dizziness, headaches, and of course no free time!
I'm so happy because who wants free time? Definitely not me! Nope, because I'm too busy working constantly to want free time!

had a dream last night and all it was was pigs shitting. really man? pigs shitting. and that was all.

wish I dreamt anymore…

Yeah. Pretty sure my tablet's broken. And I didn't even do anything with it. UGH.

Trying to update again. This could be a big streak for 1337.

EDIT: Look at the PW ad. Right now I see Harkovast. Can't say I didn't expect it to come. :)

Wow. I seriously got featured. This was totally unexpected. O___O Thanks so much, guys!! It's really nice to know my work's finally paying off. :D

Of course, I made the mistake of telling my dad. He went on and tried to find it but luckily he lost interest when he couldn't understand what was going on or how the website worked. He's the last person I want to know about my interest in religion. He'll try to bring me to 6:00 mass with him everyday.

Thanks again! ^_^

It's a deserved feature, and no, you should never tell your parents about this sort of thing. I haven't told anyone I even draw comics except my closest friends.

Left my notebook in one of my classes and i'm too shy to go get it since i've checked twice and there's always huge classes in there ;-; I'm actually not sure that's my notebook though which is the problem, it would suck to disrupt the class then get asked 'the fuck u want cracka??!' and then awkwardly realize it's not my notebook.

I'm also really hungry too, i don't think i'm getting enough nutrition because i've been eating a lot more than usual. Or maybe i'm just a pig idk

Yah, same.

And congrats Graceh. Well now, your DD famous.

Next thing you should do is read my entire archive and then promote it like the badass sellout you are. Then, when my comic gets featured, we can make a club.(I kid)

DD Fame. Ah I remember it well. It was so glorious. I had it all. Fame, fortune, pageviews, hot chicks wrestling in barbecue sauce for my sublime pleasure ( I'm sure I'm the only one who got that, but you know, get in tight with the admins… ).

And then it was over. Gone. Leaving me like the hot Slave Leia girl from the Con leaves a depressed fat kid on the computer in his mom's basement because he never learned not to use the damn, useless humans in MMORPG's.

If your comic could do it, then surely mine can! I'm just kidding of course. I suck.

And humans are never as cool as the goat creatures. I always picked them. Mostly 'cause I looked more like one than a human.

all of us experienced it? all but 1337 that is.

1337 experienced nothing.

^
that's very depressing, go back to stupid funny 1337.
in a good mood too ???

Funny 1337 says: It's super effective!!!

Well this could be my last rant since I need to use the other stuff that happens to me for my comic.
And I have absolutely nothing to rant about.

Well I learned how to play Self Esteem in a matter of ten minutes, I fixed my printer, and need to check on my tablet.

And I need a new computer. This one REALLY sucks.

As expressed in today's I am, to be up in ten minutes or so, I have gotten the habit of chewing on the backs of my pens. I'm literally going through ten pens a day. It's weird.

and end rant. of 1337. FOREVER. …till tomorrow! Gawd.

Apparently when a girl climbs over you in a quest to get her locker number back from some random other kids, you start to get a "crush".

Damn it. This indifference thing isn't working.

In good news:
I'm apparently in the top 100 for comic strip and top 500 for overall.

Also, I'm in the top 1000 for the that top 1000 webcomics thing.

Actually, I seem to remember that I very nearly didn't get featured due to my massive archive terrifying skool, and Ozone being 3000 years old in forum terms and having the memory of such thereby thinking it had already been done.

Remember kids, admins are gentle creatures, easily spooked by large archives and loud noises. You should always approach them quietly, slowly and if possible; groveling.

Adobe bridge is so perfect for reviewing comic projects. I can keep them all in a collection and review mode/batch rename is useful.

I can't wait for CS5 to come out.

I got a job today…at a supermarket. :/
But a job nonetheless.

I've got a particularly dumb question.

Was the duck in the Drunk Duck logo ever really drunk? He looks kind of aloof here.

There's actually an interesting story behind this. When the site was created in 2003, it was originally called DrunkFuck. When Platinum Studios bought it two years later, they ended up changing it to DrunkDuck in order to widen its demographic. They ended up having a contest to see who could make a mascot for the site. Unfortunately, they couldn't find a decent drawing so they just picked off a picture from a currently defunct website.

Now you know.

Drunk with POWER baby!

Blah blah blah

Yeah, my arse talks too, but it sounds more like "BLAAAAAAAARRRRFFF"

Here you go. An old archived copy of the front page, courtesy of The Wayback machine. He looked drunker in this rendition.

That front page was way nicer ^^

I think that "drunk duck" really should look like he's drunk… with beer. If I remember correctly, the site creator's pet duck looked like it was drunk when it died leading to its current name. Never explained the quail though…

Posted at 4:04AM, Apr. 24, 2010

Yes if memory serves, that was supposed to be a dead duck. But then they thought it looked more drunk. Also "dead duck" didn't sound as good.

Today is my official day off. I'm going to spend the entire day doing absolutely bugger all.
Well not really, that would be silly! However the level of productiveness of my activities will be alarmingly low!

Edit: L4D2 is updating and will be ready in 45 minutes. ;____;

Kid friendly? Then probably won't happen.
And the quails probably cause they needed another bird.

Of course I have no clue as to what I'm talking about.

And I was supposed to use rant stuff for comics but now everyone of my comics has the page bug. ARGH. …sigh.

broke guitar strings to electric this time. Only I could accomplish that by picking it up.

Other than that, Superman comics suck and go get me something interesting to do/draw/blow up.

an onslaught of links (not all of them mine)!
