Howdy, Snarky Neighbors

Long-time Goats reader luvrhino recently convinced us to take out an ad on the Television Without Pity forums for the day. TWoP is a place where hypercritical folks gather to lambast the creators of various kinds of media, so naturally, we knew this was the sort of demographic we wanted, being masochists and all. So, for those 3 or 4 TWoP readers who still click on banner ads and have made it to our fair site, welcome. Luvrhino has prepared some introductory words to help get you started. Read on and let the wisdom soak in.

Hello, fellow Television Without Pity readers. Hopefully, there's a goodly number of you that were sufficiently intrigued by the pretty ad or somehow came here in a frenzy of clicking all the pretty pictures at random. No matter, we at Goats welcome your eyeballs and hope to satisfy them in ways they've never been satisfied before.

For the last 5 1/2 years, Goats: The Comic Strip has provided an erudite, multifaceted treatise upon the indominability of the human condition. We recognize that stepping into the midst of such a stream of profundity, one easily might be carried away and drowned.

Thus, it's best that you start at the inception of the strip and read from there. Sadly, the nascent genius of these initial strips is lost on many readers. If you find yourself in this position, we suggest that you try these series of strips whose brilliance can't be denied by even the snarkiest among you:

• a brief word from our sponsors
• the maltese chicken
• the goat, he is not well
• i want candy
• ceiling babies and accordion players
• dungeons and hamsters

We thank you for your support.
