We’ll start things off today with Systemic Mike who writes:

This comes from a link posted by Lance Armstrong on Twitter, he said he was going to get Levi Leipheimer one of these.

Ah yes, we know that symbol well.  First appearing in The System #2 and many times since.  Link.

From another Systemic Mike comes this one, which he spotted LIVE in Utah.  UTAH.  Why would anyone be there?  He didn’t say.  Link.

One from Systemic Daniel.  According to the caption, you pull the lever to make the stick figure fat.”  Be sure to check the link, because there’s plenty more in the set where this came from.  Link.

Finally, one from Systemic TisDone.  This one’s a link to an “Engrish” Blog (which they HONESTLY call “Brog”) with a great sign.  Class-y.  Link.

Hope you enjoyed this edition of System in the Wild!  If you find stuff, send it to Systemcomic at gmail dot com.  Be sure to include money, just because you know you want to support the most altruistic of causes, me.

Much thanks to Systemic Nikola, who brought it upon himself to write and send in this great little comic.  Can’t read it?  I feel ya, so Nikola was nice enough to send in a translation (oh, and click above to see it bigger):

  • Is your father a baker…because he made you rather sweet…
  • My father is dead.
  • Never mind, just give me your phone number.

There will be more on the site about this soon, but the basics is that if you ever want to write one up and send it in, feel free to do so.  Send it over to systemcomic@gmail.com!

Here’s one from Systemic Sanketsu.  He followed the link to The System from Girls with Slingshots, and has been reading ever since.  As a huge fan of Corsetto’s work, that is pretty awesome.  Link.

Thanks to Systemic Dave for sending in this one.  Link.

Alright, that’s enough for this edition.  Thanks to all for sending these in, they keep the site looking shiny and new without me having to actually produce more content.  Send in stuff like this and more to systemcomic@gmail.com, and I’ll keep posting things on the site.  Oh, and the comic.  That too.

Ha!  Get it?  Get it?  I know, right?  It’s a rubik’s cube that can be reconfigured to make all the letters you need, and works letterpress style.  Sweet, no?
