A couple of weeks ago I wondered aloud about a mysterious foreign site that appeared to be inspired by me, and then remade a comic I found on it, for fun. The results of my inquiries were inconclusive and we all moved on.
But! The author of that site eventually emailed me and cleared things up altogether! I won’t quote the message in its entirety, but he is in fact Indonesian (I’ll pause here so you can exchange money with whomever you made bets with), and in Junior High. Also, he added that the last panel of the comic reads “So, I won’t tell something for now. See you later!” So there we go, everybody. Special thanks to Sidharta for emailing me and clearing up the mystery.

Hi guys, I’m hearing that the mouse-over text on comics isn’t appearing for you guys lately. Don’t forget, you can still right-click and go for the “Properties” option! No missed jokes for you!

Basically I need to figure out how to make things like the way they were with image tags and stuff, so this is what that post is meant to do. (as I mentioned elsewhere, WordPress has recently done a big redesign of their behind-the-scenes user-interface thingy). Then I thought, why don’t I make this boring test post way more MANLY and INSPIRING by using some artwork by your friend and mine, Frank Frazetta.
EXPERIMENT RESULTS: I figured it out. The text you were seeing had nothing to do with the picture; it was text from the title tag on the link to the picture file itself. All comics here at Interesting Times link to themselves by default, because WordPress does that and I occasionally find it useful. Also I don’t care. But this redesign doesn’t seem to do that anymore, or at least do that the same way, so I have to do it myself. But it does work again! Result == Success! Sort of!

I have absolutely no idea what this page is saying, but it links my site, and has a stickman comic of its own. If anybody can tell me what’s going on, and why that stickman in the last panel has such an adorably blank expression (seriously, I keep flicking back to his site to look at it) then please fill me in.
Update: Andrew did some crack detective work and it turns out the site might be Indonesian? Also, there’s a bunch of comics. The latest one in particular is nasty and hilarious.
Update 2: Malaysian? When will the answers be revealed?

Forgot comic yesterday! I will attempt to make amends at some point this weekend? (In my defense, yesterday was Good Friday and felt more like a Sunday than anything)

Seeing as how the 300th Comic Spectacular went really well, I’ve been thinking of setting up a similar thing for Fridays. I made a gmail address, and then you can send your questions into it, and then every Friday I will pick one and write a comic where I answer it. The idea is foolproof, no? Of course, if nobody’s interested or e-mails me, I’m off the hook.
Send all relevant queries to:
journalcomic at gmail dot com
(Not a link because, you know, spambots. And I don’t want to answer THEIR questions.)
New Feature FTW!

BEHOLD:
I WILL SOON BE INTERNET FAMOUS.
It’s a film we made last year and yes, it is the victim of a bad Youtube transfer so things are a little stretched.

it appears as though the comic, like myself, is on holiday this week? What say we meet back here on New Year’s Day.

Big thanks to everyone who submitted questions, and bigger thanks to everyone who’s stopped in and said a kind word. (Now, where’s my Wikipedia article and book deal?)

Hello! You may or may not have noticed that the 300th Comic is coming up (tomorrow!), and if at all possible I’d like to make it some sort of extended Reader Mailbag thing. So, if you’d be so kind as to use the comments section on this post to ask ANY and ALL questions you may have, and then I can pick some and answer them in my own inimitable fashion. Multiple questions per person are allowed and encouraged! This is your chance to peek into the deepest machinations of Interesting Times!
[If interest is insufficient, well, a.)shame on you, and b.)I'll just have to do something else, I guess.]
