20100121 (9) – I’m friends with both Mike and Dave of Crayon Death – I mentioned using the CD logo to Mike at one point and he (if memory serves) was cool with it, so that stays. Submachine, however, I don’t know anybody from – so the fictional band “Murder Booth” has been substituted. Thanks to mdxi and Band Names 29.

20100130 (6) – A real mess in the cleanup department – corrections and 16×9 adjustments from the original strips made a tangle out of the type, and the rescript hasn’t done me any favors either. All font-based dialogue has been overhauled. The tablet-rendered onomatopoeia remain intact.

Frrp!

20101225 – Original page metadata:

The Shitstrips have become the Poo Page. Thank your lucky stars that this site isn’t available in smell-o-vision!

=====================

2008.04.19 – Some minor cleanup, but otherwise The Poopstrip survives intact.

Strip 062, 20060701 –

Man, this strip totally blows away the previous one. Probably helps that I’m getting away from the “establishing character” bits and moving towards the “plot” bits.

Or something.

Strip 063, 20060702 –

Done Saturday for posting on Sunday (at some point after midnight) – feeling slightly self-conscious about the calendar in the archives section and wanting something to show for it. This doesn’t necessarily mean I’m going to wind up with a huge wad of pre-canned material like I quickly ran out of back in November… but it does mean I can chunk out DCR strips faster than ATC pages, for whatever that’s worth. Still pondering setting up and sticking to a publishing schedule of some sort – it’s got to be possible to balance both comics, dangit.

Also, POOPING. Referencing wednesday -8- and the quality of ‘gheny water back in the late 90s.

Strip 064, 20060703 –

I don’t like ravers. And in 1997, you couldn’t swing a dead cat without hitting half a dozen of them. They burned themselves out around 2001 or so, and there was much rejoicing. I definitely don’t miss the e-tards…. I’m sure they’re still hanging around the Art Institute – along with the rest of the 31 flavors of Hot Topic Hipsters.

More about Corleones and Fu Lai in future strips.

Strip 065, 20060704 –

Stickers on the stall door: Crayon Death (top) and Submachine (bottom).

I saw Submachine at Nick’s Fat City a couple of years ago, and Dave and Mike from Crayon Death work at The Upstage, which is where I drink. Frequently.

Maxwell House, in my opinion, is buttleavings run through a coffee filter. Starbucks is, also in my opinion, worse. Bitter buttleavings. Gah.

Mastering notes, 2016.12.08 – Minor tweaks to dialogue in panel seven; replaced the visor logo in panels nine and ten with PLUR, which is (or should be) entirely appropriate. I actually got this done on the fifth but didn’t catch panel nine until the page was reviewed for the metadata pass on the eighth. Whew!
