Mad Revenues




You know what the incentive is in running a small business legitimately? Absolutely nothing. Imagine trying to figure out a cell phone bill that's half in Latin that you get about nine times a week.

Ouphe. I understand where you're coming from, Jeffrey. My mom is self-employed and she's gets driven to the absolute limit about 4 times a year because of how ridiculous it is to try to run your own business. I've been helping figure out teh taxes since high school.

Hope it gets better (or, you know, you find a new, more...lucrative...way to run your business...)

Most of the photos are just of whatever pop up in my Picasa at random. The ones in this comic are from the house with the basement (which is actually 3 residences ago).

If you want to spend money wait for the reprint of Wigu Vol 1 or the Overcomp Book or Atlantis which will defintiely be out by Xmas!

I’ve always really enjoyed the background photographs in OC, I’d probably go so far as to say that it’s one of my favorite elements to the comics.

I guess that now would be as good a time as any to order up my LNMAC shirt, something that’s been on the back-burner for too long. I can only imagine that it’s a tough trade, competing for closet space with the... er.. four or five? Other companies out there trying to pander a torso covering to a gal or fella.

That's why I want to shift more to original books and crafty things!

Perk of running your small business: you mention that it's frustrating and it incites sympathetic readers to buy merchandise, partly out of straight-up friendliness.

And I thought maybe you were questioning the t-shirt game when Weedmaster P started making fun of it. What's the haps with stuffed Joannas?

The Joannas are hand made and this cannot be done with any sort of extreme speed.

Yeah, I know. I own two small buisnesses. It's all good if you consider yourself a non-profit that raises money for the war effort, corporate welfare and last but not least teaches employment skills to ungratefull self indulgant/important scenesters, who all have myspace accounts.

But it beats working for the man, right?

Poopmonster's one line is as compelling as it is profound.

I want to order a LNMAC shirt but I'm terrified by the potential size of an American XL.

Maybe I should procure a series of progressively smaller friends then I can order one of each...

Well, I ordered a SoaP Hoodie, for the gentle sum of sixty dollars.

Although twelve of those dollars were on shipping.
