You Like My Chicken! You Really Like My Chicken!

Sunday, July 07, 2002 - 08:24 PM

Remember that awards thingy we were nominated for a while back? Well, it seems that we won an award. Diablo was voted as best supporting character in the Cartoonists' Choice Awards, narrowly beating out Indie Rock Pete from Diesel Sweeties. This must be how one of those tennis-playing sisters feels after she's beaten her other tennis-playing sister. Or something. It's kinda bittersweet. Anyway, we did manage to lose the website design award, which makes me feel better, as losing is much more comfortable and familiar to me, and reaffirms my worldview.

They gave me a lifetime supply of cole slaw. What the hell am I supposed to do with that?

the irony is that eating all the slaw would drastically shorten the lifetime associated with it.

either that, or the irony is in trying to eat it with a knife, when all you have is 10,000 spoons.

Just as an aside, I'm pretty sure that links and stuff work in the signatures, if you were interested in linking to your URL there.

Phillip, I'm sure, can correct me if I'm mistaken.

You're referring to the "HeroMachine" generated images, I assume, which were up up at the site until 5 minutes ago (I just updated it with a real comic). I was just making him look like... err, himself. The char. is based on a real person, who, without the sword, would look just like that... almost. :)

Might I suggest a fruity drink made from tangarines, bannanas, and Rohypnol.

Have you considered starting up a chain of restraunts to compete with KFC, Churche's, etc ?

All you need now is some corn, biscuits, and an oh-so clever name..

"...and reaffirms my worldview."

So... what else is your worldview all about? I mean, I can image a young jon stareing out a window on to a busy street thinking to himself:

"You know, one of these days I'll circumvent traditional media promote my own unique brand of humor on the unsuspect public..."

Or something like it. :)

Yes, actually -- we're working on it now. It's Mayan-themed.

We're going to call it Chicken Itza.

Most of my worldview revolves around strawberry shoestring licorice. It's really not all that interesting.

I really hoped Diablo would actually have been killed when he was beheaded. I admit, I don't like your chicken.
However I will concede that he was great as the gudie at the Microsoft campus(I live in Seattle), and the Shazam Twix sagas have always been satisfying.

You know, this site is a heck of a lot better than that damnable one that won.

It is just so much.. prettier.
