Rosscott, Inc.

The title speaks for itself.  Link.

Systemic Carni sent me these two links, both from the same site.  First is some awesome illustrations explaining the personalitites behind websites.  I don’t really understand all of them, but I like the pretty drawerings (that’s spelled wrong on purpose) just the same.  Link.

These are some badass poster-style illustrations with horror movies, comics, and some other sweet stuff.  Link.

This SitW post is brought to you by my friends across the internets.  Thanks to each of you, who are a constant inspiration for me to keep doing what I’m doing.  Which is not to say the rest of you Systemics aren’t, but they are too.  Yknow what?  I’m gonna shut up and move on.

First up is Marty “Too Lame For a Nickname” Day, co-owner of Super Art Fight, writer of Blast-O-Rama, and writer of Art Fight High School.  Apparently this is on boxeswhere he works.  The phrase “team hernia” seems appropriate as well.  Link.

Next up is from Noah “Skull a Day” Scalin, and the blog Your Logo Makes Me Barf.  I think that says it all, so here’s the link. Others in that site also qualify.

Ami of The Glass Urchin has sent in this one, from Deviant Art.  It’s a cute advert where the signs come alive and stuff.  I feel like i’ve seen a bunch of these sorts of things before, don’t you?  I just wish I knew what this was selling.  Link.

That’s it for now, Systemics.  Remember, you can always send in anything you think is cool (which hopefully includes system in the wild sightings) to systemcomic at gmail!

Systemic Cyclin’ Missy (of her own blog) sent in this  fan comic (click on it or here to see it full size) after being inspired by seeing other recent fan comics on the site.  Thanks for sending it in, Missy!  If this inspires more of you to send in such art, go right ahead and email it to systemcomic@gmail.com!

Propoganda posters updated.  Link.

I got this email from Systemic (and fan-extraordinaire) Hillel_Kitty who sent this in a while back, and I am sorry to say I let it sit for a little too long. Still, here is what she wrote in:

I saw this flyer and thought “Aw, the System Dude likes animals! SHIT - That’s adorabull!”

But seriously, I wanted to send this in as a plea for help for a worthy organization. Action for Animals is a non-profit organization in my town that performs several important functions, including educational programs for responsible pet ownership, animal advocacy with Muncie’s City Council, financial support for pet medical care, and spay/neuter programs for Muncie’s many strays.

You see, Muncie has a very high percentage of residents who rent their homes. Too often, residents adopt pets thinking that they can hide them from landlords who don’t permit animals. Or residents adopt while they live in a place where pets are allowed, and then move to a new apartment and can’t take their pet with them. Unfortunately, the city and county-run shelters destroy their animals. There is only one no-kill shelter in town (Animal Rescue Fund - ARF), and it is always full. So, people let their beloved pets go, rather than taking them to a shelter that will eventually kill them.

This has led to an overwhelming number of stray cats.  In fact, last summer I adopted a pregnant, starving stray that showed up in my backyard. She had clearly been dumped, or escaped. Most of the strays in my neighborhood are skittish, but Rorschach just wanted to be snuggled, fed, and allowed to come inside. A day after we brought her in, she had 4 kittens. Luckily, all 4 were healthy, and Mama Rorschach handled the birth well. When the kittens were weaned, and big enough to be fixed, Action for Animals gave me vouchers to have all 5 cats (Rorschach and her kids) spayed or neutered. They also provided me with funds to get vaccines for the whole tribe. If I’d had to do this on my own, it would have amounted to about $700 (at least). With the vouchers, the spay/neuters were free, and the vaccines cost $20.

Action for Animals relies on donations. They provide so many important services for Muncie’s animals, both strays and pets alike, and desperately need any financial support you can give.

Systemics! This is your call to arms! Even if you can only spare a dollar, please send it in. Strays have hard lives, and might fall under the influence of bad individuals like Jimmy the Murderdog. Don’t let that happen. Thank you for sticking with me through this long message. I’ve attached a copy of the donation form (in black and white, to be printer-friendly). Please please please send a donation! (yeah, i’m not above abject begging when it comes to animals).

Thank you!

Oh, and here’s the image she sent in for the post.  Link.

Systemic Mollie sends in this, from a calendar she spotted.  “As if you dont have enough but i saw this at bn in georgetown today.”  Link.

Systemic Greg has sent in this link, to a post on signage from Japan. Those Japanese, always coming up with some clever thing.  Link.

And finally, one I have been waiting to post for some time.  I call it “Don’t pee on a perforation”, but I’m sure you can do better than that.  Link.

So, how about them Systemics?  Pretty great for sending those things in, huh?  Feel free to join their ranks by sending one my way!  systemcomic at gmail.

Remember when I asked you guys to help post a rating of The System on RateItAll?  At the time, I promised an awesome image as thanks for the help.  I emailed them out last night, but wanted to let you guys know what you missed by not doing my bidding.  I’m afraid the little guy you see above is all you get, but I assure you there’s more.  Next time, you’ll just have to participate in further Systemic actions.

Quick Epilogue: The System is #1 on the RateItAll list of Webcomics! WOO!

A shout-out is worthy to Systemic (and legitimate IRL friend) Casey, who is responsible for the site BarGeek, and the comic Bad Ass Fajitas that is housed therein.  She did a writeup on The System a while back, but this weekend our relationship was kicked into high gear (wait for the next sentence).  I posted on My The Twitter about being in Philly and needing some recommendations , and we met up for a bit and chatted.  Next time, I owe her a large beer.  For now, she commemorated the experience in this comic.  Link.

Thanks also go out to Systemics Lindsaytron, Tovias, Guigar, Wisemana, Lena, and Robyn for setting me up with some great places to go.  Thanks, all!  If you want a link here let me know, otherwise just know that I think you’re great.

Thanks for sending this in, Systemic Cristina!  If only they taught Hadouken classes…  Link.

Systemic Lindsay sends in this one.  Senior Citizens have to cross somewhere.  Thanks. Link.

Systemic Justin sends this one in.  But, since he only really did it to get out of buying me a beer, it doesn’t really count.  Link.

If you find anything like these (only better than Justin’s) send it over to systemcomic@gmail.com!
