Singularity Blues:  an Apocalyptic Burlesque

Things to Notice

Yes, another shitty little webcomic with bad art and even worse writing. Now that I've admitted this to myself, the only place I can go is up.

The first thing you're gonna notice about my site is it's complete and utter lack of "design". Except for the little navigation bar up top there. Jakob Nielson's gonna be happy with this, but nobody else is. Oh, well.

The second thing you're gonna notice is a complete lack of comic on the first page. If you're under 18, physically, emotionally, or spiritually, scram. Otherwise, use the link on the navigation bar at the top of the page. Under the onion skin is a comic written by an adult (I think), for adults (I hope). This is not porno: this is the deep end of the pool.

That, and I swear a lot.

The third thing you're going to notice is that I have opinions. Not necessarily considered or well thought out opinions, but opinions that constitute my "world view" at the moment. I really don't care if you happen to disagree (or, for that matter, agree) with my opinion. It's only fair that you should be aware of the following:

  1. This is done for my own amusement. Constructive criticism is welcome. Don't be too annoyed if I ignore it, though.
  2. My standard response to "I like your strip" is...to do another strip. You want me to do that, right?
  3. My standard response to "Your comic really sucks" is...to do another strip. Seriously, I won't get better if I don't keep trying. Please feel free to tell me why the comic sucks (see point 1).
  4. My standard response to "Your comic really sucks because you suck" is to add you to my killfile. Really. Why should I care if you think I suck? I've been divorced twice: I already know I suck. I don't need an asshole like you telling me something already know. If you're going for the ad hominum attack, at least be creative.
  5. I do not have 'swag'. If you feel compelled to sport the SB logo, go into the Word Processor of Your Choice, select the Courier font at about 40 point, select pure blue for the color, and type: singularityblues. If you're really feeling generous, print out the name of the website in 10 point courier on the second line. Print out all of this on one of those computer project t-shirt transfers and viola! In case you want to know what this might look like in advance, permit me to offer the following graphic:
  6. "What's 'CE'?" 'CE' Stands for "Common Era". The comic starts in 2489 CE. For all practical purposes, 'CE' dates are 'AD' dates. Why do I use CE? Well, peruse the comic...
