Thus endeth the Abe’s Audition storyline, for now at leasteth. As a semi-related bonus, check out two of my favorite audition videos I’ve come across on the net:

- Guys trying out to be ninjas, or something
- “The finest actor in the lot”, auditioning for Full Metal Jacket in 1983

You’ll also wanna check out this excellent pic Jack H. sent in modelling the aLp t-shirt:

Thanks Jack! EXCELLENT

Just experimenting.

Hmmm… YouTube screwed around with the timing/sync of the video and audio, so it’s even harder to follow along than it was originally, which is saying something. Ah well.

Thanks to Shari for the voiceover and the idea for the Darth Vader gag, and to Dean, whose idea was hilarious but just too wrong to use, and you’ll never find out what it was.

The more I write about Beer Goggles ^TM, the more I really want a pair. I wanna see what a better-looking version of myself would look like, so I could at least try to dress like him. And maybe my wife could wear ‘em so she’d find me hot again, like before we had kids and when we did more than sit around, trying to get the songs from Blue’s Clues out of our heads.

Coincidentally, there’s a character on Blue’s Clues named “Side Table” (full name “Side Table Drawer”). Totally coincidental I say.

Lastly, wotta game last night! Congrats and good luck to the Cardinals, though I wanted to see a Mets/Tigers World Series. That Endy Chavez catch woulda been one of the very top plays in
postseason history, if only the Mets coulda pulled it out.

Sorry for the late post today; whose crazy idea was it to go up to 2 comics a week anyway?

Give a big welcome to new and generous sponsor Life in Plastic Pants, a photo-comic that brings the funny using lego dudes in medieval garb. Both the writing and photography are good in this one, so be sure to check it out.

Gino, from current sponsor/advertiser PicBin.net, was kind enough to scan in the page of the latest PC Magazine where they call aLp one of “The Most Amazing Sites of 2006″. You can check out the scan here. Thanks Gino!

And Nancy wants to say happy birthday to Peter! Happy birthday (tomorrow), fella! I totally approve of what she got you.

Haven’t had much to say lately, I know. Maybe it’s cuz I’m busy making comics for you people twice as often as I used to. Anyway, 2 quick bits:

1. I’ll be at Ubercon VIII in Secaucus, NJ next weekend (Fri, Oct. 20 – Sun, Oct. 22). Seeya there, OKAY?

2. Just a couple more people showing off their sexy aLp t-shirts:

All 4 of us here are sick, especially my little boy, who’s miserable. In fact this morning he fell asleep on the floor of the playroom, poor guy. So I gotta make this quick, and do 2 plugs that I owe:

1. Welcome to new banner advertiser The RP Site, “a happy community of roleplayers.” Their characters include Beelzebub’s demons, and high-tech hobos! If you’re into roleplaying, and WHO ISN’T, check ‘em out!

2. Also welcome to another new sponsor, Doctor Ape, a New York-based band whose single “Virtual Girl” is making a lot of noise, so to speak. Go ahead, check ‘em out – I actually did, and they’re actually good.

I had a long story to post about my acting history in college but it’s gettin late already today so I’ll save it for next time. So all I got for you today is two things:

1. I’ve re-stocked the tshirt sizes that’d previously sold out (Men’s Medium and 3XL) so you can buy yours now!

2. Welcome to new advertiser PicBin.net, a new free image hosting service! Go and crush their servers by uploading every photo you have ever taken.

I’m happy to announce that I’ve joined the ranks of the Playground Ghosts, a webcomics collective including some great titles you should really check out. Basically, it’s a bunch of artists who can’t draw*, and then there’s Steve Hogan, who can, so I don’t know what the hell he’s doing here, but everyone is awesome so I’m glad to be a part. Here’s the crew:

- Acid Keg, by Steve Hogan
- Fluff in Brooklyn, by Colleen AF Venable
- Pixel, by Chris Dlugosz
- Reprographics, by Chris Yates
- Wondermark, by David Malki

* – Actually I can draw, and I know for a fact that some o’ the other Ghosts can too, but it’s more fun to say “can’t” then “don’t”.
