Guest Week Has Arrived!

WIGU!

What a fabulous line up! If only you could have gotten Scott Baio to do a guest strip, the lineup would have been perfect. POOPIES!

ACK! More webcomics I might have to start reading on a regular basis! I thought 10 a day was enough!

I can stop any time I want, I can stop any time I want...

In Response to Lonely Goatherd (#517):

I agree. WIGU [wigu.com] is my favorite comic strip. I'm very excited that Jeff's agreed to do a guest strip.

Argh!
How could you, Pete?!?

You got Toothgnip's name wrong!

In Response to jon (#548):

I'm confused. Why do you link to WIGU [wigu.com] with the name When I Grow Up [whenigrowup.net]? It's particularly confusing because they're both done by the same cartoonist!

In Response to magenta (#555):

Because Jeff changed WIGU's name to When I Grow Up recently. Now, both comic strips have the same name.

Confusing? Yes.

In Response to jon (#558):

Whoa that is very confusing. I have inadvertantly made the world more confusing!!!

Mostly I did it because in conversations with people, the title of it was an obstacle to getting to the actual point. I wanted conversations to go less from:

"So what do you do?"
"I do a comic."
"Oh really what's it called?"
"Wigu."
"Wigu? What does that mean."
"Well, it's a kid's name..."

to --

"So what do you do?"
"I do a comic called 'When I Grow Up."
"Oh really what's it about?"
"It is about a kid and his goth sister and parents and a space potato superhero."
"Wow cool, I'd like to see it."
"I'd like you to see it too, what are you doing later?"
"Um, not much really... why?"
"Well we could go back to your apartment or mine and I could draw your picture."
"You can do that?"
"Yeah I can also draw pictures on your body..."

In Response to wigu (#561):

World-wide chaos and confusion is a noble goal, Mr. Rowland.

You should do it... um... advertantly next time.

In Response to wigu (#561):

"Yeah I can also draw pictures on your body..."
..
"Wtf ? You just drew a potato on my (fill in blank) ! Are you trying to hint at something ?"

.. Oh the humanity / possibilities(?)

Looks good, but, it just doesn't seem complete without some Scary-go-goats.

In Response to TheWizardofFez (#577):

Agreed. It's wasn't for a lack of trying, though -- John's a very busy man these days.

So does guest week fit into the continuity (such as it stands) of the strip? Today's (Tuesday) really seems to.

I'm just trying to get clues as to what the fate is of our intrepid heroes.

I also want some intrepid gyros, but that's a different matter altogether.

Amy Melnikoff of... well... of nepotism.

Speaking of nepotism, i think it'd be appropriate to let Lauren to fire off a Post-It comic [goats.com] for Saturday, July 27.

In Response to luvrhino (#609):

If she'd like to, I'll be more than happy to post it.

In Response to descolada99 (#605):

Um, sure. Why not.

Seriously, it's just a guest week. The artists were given a bare minimum of guidelines; everything that goes up this week is purely of their creation. Most of them did their strips long before they even knew how the last "canon" storyline turned out. They're standalones, for the most part.

If you're waiting to see what happens, well... I guess you'll just have to be patient.

BWAHAHAchach... *cough*

In Response to wigu (#561):

Huh. When did that happen? I mean, I've read Wigu every day since it started, and so I guess I've stopped paying attention to everything outside of the comic. :)

Alright, i've seen the line-up.. Here's my question: Where's Philip's Contribution? There's just something about that "yellow post-it & stick figure" style that's distinctly goats but not.

so to conclude:
wassup wid dat?

In Response to armhead (#702):

You gotta pay for Phillip's Post-It Note comics now. :) Donate enough and he'll make one. Like one of those old genie machines, drop in enough coins and it spits out your horoscope or something. Right.

In Response to AgentDenim (#753):

It's not quite that simple....

Each strip undergoes thorough scrutiny and full inspections before it is allowed on the site. In fact, for every post-it that appears, I need to create 10 or 15 in order to make sure that at least one will be of sufficient quality to merit posting. Additionally, there's wastage from spilled beers, coffee, and post-scotch drool that needs to be acccounted for.

stick figures aren't as easy to draw as those more traditional "2-D" strips, y'know.

Hi all,
James and I have received a few e-mails asking us what the hell was going on on Saturday. Was the fill-in strip totally incoherent, just not funny, or both?

I'm horribly insecure.

In Response to Lonely Goatherd (#811):

It was fine, Matt -- it's just that I've permanently damaged the minds of most of our readers. They really can't be blamed.

In Response to jon (#813):

Yes, the minds of most of the readers and several of the characters as well. "Agghhh.. brains!"

In Response to Lonely Goatherd (#811):

I didn't recieve ANY E-Mails about my GOATS strip, so I'm guessing everyone totally understood it was a biting satirical comment directed at man's inhumanity to man, plus the controversial hiring practices of the canned meat industry.

Also, Toothgnip should kill the Anti-Christ in real life.

In Response to ChrisCrosby (#822):

I recieved some e-mail about my guest strip. Apparently this girl "Ginger" liked it so much she wants to show me naked pictures of her and her sority sister girlfriends TOTALLY FREE!

She didn't mention specifically what it was about the guest strip she liked. Or the guest strip at all really. But I could tell that's why she wanted me to see those pictures.
