We weren’t entirely certain how long Semen “Week” could possibly last; we simply had two strips, two data points, which was enough to draw a line.  But it’s not like we’re philosophically dedicated to the fluid.  Plus, I have someone in my employ who is obligated to create literally any logo I tell him to.  Like this one, let’s say.

It’s hard to resist using such a power for evil, very hard, which is why I don’t ever resist it.

I am notorious primarily for my association with Mike Krahulik, as opposed to anything I ever did; I befriended someone interesting almost twenty years ago which ultimately resulted in my making .jpegs for a living.  I’d like to say I know why I did that, took that initial step, but I don’t.  I’d like to say that I sensed some complimentary shape in his mind, a fact which has certainly been borne out.  Perhaps I recognized not an equal, but an opposite: someone with whom I could, in aggregation, amount to a single useful being.  Either of those would be nice, but they’ve got that retcon tang.  What I understood at some level was that if I had the choice of being his friend or his enemy, I should choose the former. He is like a Goddamned animal in many ways and is not to be fucked with.  Especially if you’re in the wrong, but even if you think you’re right.

Even if you are right.

I’m telling you this because I’m perpetually right and I still can’t win with this fucker.  I am the monk, and he is the scorpion.  I like to tell it that way because it makes my laziness and banality seem like virtues.

Wow, that escalated quickly! There is even a humerous web video! Kotaku has an article that covers how this whole Ocean Marketing thing is winding down. It seems Ocean Marketing is “out of business” and Paul is no longer representing the Avenger. A new PR guy has been brought in to try and right their sinking ship. I think it’s fair to try and separate Paul’s actions from the actual product. It’s very possible that he was simply the marketing guy here but I’ve also heard that he is at least a part owner in N-control the company that makes the Avenger. I’ll be very curious see how this all shakes out.

I don’t know if anyone is actually attacking Paul’s wife and kid. Honestly I don’t even know if he has a wife and kid. Maybe the mayor of Boston is his wife? Anyway, If they are real, none of this is their fault and I think we can all agree that they should be left alone.

The comic today is 100% true. I was grinning all night as Paul sent me each new email. I am absolutely an unapologetic asshole, but I try as best I can to be your asshole.

Hmm, that didn’t come out quite right.
