You’ve made it HUGE now, JC.

Killface, the evil villian from [adult swim]’s excellent show, Frisky Dingo, has “Skullcrusher Mountain” as the song on his myspace page.

Awesome.

Yes. JoCo at PAX would be frickin’ awesome. A bunch of us prodded him at the last Seattle show about it…

Love that comic, as well as OOTS.

JoCo has also been plugged relatively recently in a Penny Arcade news post. I guess they caught a show in Seattle and wanted to hook JoCo up at PAX. That would be cool.

Erfworld is cool, and I was delighted to find the reference to the Zombie song! Of course I knew the song, it’s so awesome

Oh yeah… and you were quoted in ANOTHER Web comic, by the way:

Ahh… the union of Coulton and Giant in the Playground… two of my favorite geek foods. Now just mix in some XKCD and I’ll be pretty much ready to die.

Aha! Webcomic Rob Balder IS the same guy as Funny Music Rob Balder!

Man, that was bugging me.

I’m all listening to Manic Mondays, and hear stuff with Rob Balder and then on Comixpedia and read stuff with Rob Balder, and I’m all “Is that the same guy?”

Erfworld is a story comic. You can get a much better idea by reading from the beginning.

In one sentence, though: it’s the story of a fat and geeky gamer guy who is summoned into a gamelike Fantasy universe…where the war is real, the odds are hopeless, and he must lead the bad guys.

We use a lot of cultural references in the comic, sometimes for humor but mostly for atmosphere. This particular page is important because it’s not only the introduction of the main character “Parson Gotti,” but also the first time the readers realize there’s more to the story than just the oddball universe of Erfworld.

I thought of a number of likely songs that Parson might be listening to on the way to his job at Kinkos, but “Re Your Brains” was perfect. It’s popular with gamers, and it has that “spend your whole life locked inside a mall” line that would resonate with him personally.

Plus I’ll happily promote my friend Jonathan anywhere, any time. In fact, look for more of that, coming soon at http://www.thefump.com!

From what I gather, it’s about a fat guy who likes stale peeps and does something having to do with turn based strategy games and websites. Apperantly he’s played games for so long that he now has a perfect military mind and is transported into a tron-esque world by a nearly naked woman who (I guess) wants to rule everything.

It’s the fourteenth page of a comic about a guy that gets sucked into a tabletop strategy game. It’ll probably make more sense if you start from the beginning.

Maybe I’m an idiot, but I found that comic incomprehesible. What was it about exactly? (other than zombies, obviously)
