I’ll keep it short because I know most of you today are here for the Wiz Rollins interview.

I have happily stayed on the sidelines when it comes to Wikipedia. I think it’s a great idea that is doomed to fail. If your like me you believe that too many cooks spoil the brew. That’s exactly what is going on right now on Wikipedia as it applies to webcomics. What we (I’m including everyone involved in webcomics) are finding is that what we believe to be notable and to have worth is being removed from the mix. It’s like being the guy who wants pineapple on a pizza and everyone else keeps picking it off.

I’m not encouraging anyone to take up the torch and run screaming into the fight. What I would like you to do is go read through the deletion article for Ugly Hill.  If your not familiar with Ugly Hill you need to add it to your daily reads. It’s everything a webcomic needs to be. It’s most certainly notable and it’s of a quality that everyone should reach for. It’s honestly one of the strips that I would compare others against. That’s what makes it all the more odd that there’s even the idea that it should be removed from Wikipedia.

I think this is a great example of how to go down fighting. It’s stinks of someone feeling that if their Masters Thesis isn’t good enough then damn it funny comics should be good enough either. Wikipedia is serious business people not a bunch of haha’s. Blow it out your hole wikipedia. Millions of people a day read webcomics. how is that not notable.

This Great Image that you can find on Ugly Hills page sums it all up.

and I’ll be lazy if I want to.

a couple things.

1) The show will be out this afternoon. We we’re late wrapping it up. You know the drill.
We have a GREAT guest this week and here is a preview of the cover art he was kind enough to provide.

(edit: actually the art is not HIS, but one of the artists HE collaborates with, look for proper um… props on the actual Gigcast Posting. JT)

(I’ll let you guess who he is.)

2) This is what I wake up to this morning:

me: never mind I guess I can’t be that funny yet

In my head it was working

Tim: heh

oh yeah..

Happy B-day

ya old fuck

me: thanks

Can you believe the abuse I take!

Check back often.
