rebranding

March 31, 2011

comic from 12-04-10 at the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival.

The cartoonists in this comic are Karen Sneider, Vanessa Davis and JohnnyRyan. You might recognize this from a sketchy diary comic over on the old site, but I figured it merited redrawing since it’s appropriate to the title change. Also, per some comments and such, I’d like to make it clear that I’m not changing anything except the title and URL of this comic, so everything will carry on as normal. Except now I have the liberty to actually make fart jokes without feeling too ridiculous.

Oh, speaking of the internet, looks like Wikipedia decided I wasn’t a thing and deleted whatever entry was started. Haha the interent makes me feel like I’m in 7th grade gym class again and not getting picked for a basketball team which is fine because I DIDN’T WANT TO PLAY ANYWAYS. humph.

Flatus social?

Weird, before I read this I was going to post, “You could change the name to ‘Flatus Fiesta’ or ‘Dookie Soiree.’” Pretty close.

Aw! Your drawing of Vanessa kind of looks like how she draws herself but in your style! Adorable adorable Vanessa.

Hey, digging the look of the new website. The old one had an ms paint 90s era feel to it, not that it’s a bad thing but this is definitely an improvement! (:

I’ve had an awkard moment thanks to you. I was on the bus when, for no apparent reason, I remembered your can opener episode on the train. I started laughing out loud like a total freak. I couldn’t help but embarrassedly smile to the lady sitting next to me, trying to stare straight to the window, pretending nothing happened, hahaha! At least, I also gotta thank you for the only thing that managed to make me laugh after a shitty exhausting day.

Lucky with the new domain!

Whoever deleted your entry is a tool.

If webcomic sensation Kate Beaton can have her own Wiki then so can you. And I’m liking the crosshatching and use of texture in your more recent strips. Yeah.

Did you sell the name Fart Party to Erika Moen?

Ha ha! Looks like someone has been Googling themselves. (Hey if you start a members section that has video of you “Googling yourself”, I would pay extra. Just a heads up)

It says you got deleted because of “no indication of importance,” which is a baffling distinction.
If it makes you feel better, this is the guy who deleted your page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:NawlinWiki/Barnstars
…He’s deleted almost 200,000 articles and made almost as many edits. Crazy.

Ms. Wertz makes me laugh.

actually, someone sent that wikipedia link to me, saving me the task of googling myself, an activity I find absolutely nothing wrong with. If people do things on the internet and want to know what people are saying about said things, google away! but a video of it? that would be like a video of nothing

Naturally the backlash on the internet is a big “so?!”, ignoring the potential problems with typical group-think hand-waving.

Wikipedia’s kind of a joke anyway. I wouldn’t worry about being dis-included. I’d rather take it as a badge of honor.

Julia, you are so lucky, you get a hambone, and a jew’s harp. You know, there are poor starving businessmen out there who pay throught the nose for dinner theater, how selfish. Unrelatedly, I was really surprised by the wikipedia comment, when I sent the email I assumed everybody already knew the wikipedia page had been deleted.

just another dude March 21, 2011 at 4:39 am

or you could just be a totally anonymous person like me and then there’s no need to worry about your wiki. because you won’t ever have one.
