I never understood that phrase... white on rice... is it some kind of a sports reference? Like "White is all over Rice today!"...

Becoming one with the rice and the white man. nothing to do with sports. unless that's what you have to tell yourself to make it make sense, then whatev.

O_o I'm sorry, but even I get that phrase.
Not that there is anything wrong with you, of course.
Uh, yeah. I will try, but we don't get many car alarms out here.

Here's a tip: If you're really serious about the whole citizen's arrest thing, carry those zip tie things with you, you know, the ones from like Home Depot that bind stacks of trim or anything that needs to be bound together. Why? Nothing dirty... well. Maybe a little dirty. Makeshift handcuffs. Those things are a BITCH to get out of.



Not that I'd know.

Dear Jeff:

I would just like to let you know that your comics have been excellent of late, and I have gotten far more enjoyment out of them than usual. You must've really missed Quincy, huh.

You get seem to get sick a lot. I hope you don't have the AIDS.

By the way, this would be the perfect time for someone to chime in with "My dad has AIDS" in an offended tone of voice.

Stimulus said...

Okay...
Valuedan, your dad has AIDS.

I thought the phrase meant that Barry White was all over Condoleeza Rice.

Ohhhhhh yeah, mama.

In the second frame of the Wigu comic it looks therapist (haha-therapist=the rapist)is giveing the dentist a handjob.

Whoops, my "incredibly inappropriate things to say" alarm just went off! I hope I don't get citizens arrested!

Are you reading THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE Jeff? because I just got to the part about citizen's arrests, and the whole book just seems right up your alley. or driveway. or whatever you want it to be all up ins.

"Private persons have common law authority to make "citizen arrests" for a felony, or for a misdemeanor involving a breach of the peace, [Cantwell v. Connecticut, 310 U.S. 296, 308 (1940)] if: (1) the crime actually occurred; and (2) the private person reasonably believes that the suspect committed the offense. With misdemeanors, the offense must also occur in the arresting person’s presence."

Check your local penal codes, but I think you'd be making yourselves criminally liable for false arrest.

Not at all! Setting off a car alarm is a misdemeanour breaching the peace!

I'm shooting a doc short about the emerging comic subculture, and would be interested in interviewing you for it. I have a lot of interviews from fans, critics, and store owners, but am looking for further perspective on web comics from the artists themselves. Would you be interested?

Your participation would consist of a short phone interview (paid for on my part), sometime within the next week. I am already working with Jeph from Questionable Content, but could use some further perspective.
And yes, you can plug wigu all you want and we can put "In loving memory of Jeffery Rowland" at the end if you want to play that card.

Please get back to me as soon as possible if you're interested...DJBOX88 at AOL dot COM

Jeff, you should absolutely do that documentary thing.

Your Fu-Manchu could totally kick Morgan Spurlock’s Fu-Manchu’s ass.

(assuming we are pretending that facial hair has comparable physiology to a human)

Hey Jeff, you forget the copywrite fine print mumbo jumbo on today's wigu?

We should totally prank message that guy. Or not. I would if I weren't so lazy. I mean, come on! He's gonna pay for the call himself, and I can't even summon the enthusiasm to send an IM to the guy. Geez.

I guess I should just read the interviews when they come out.

Bubba said...

Wait, who am I calling lazy here? Mr. "DOH-CU-MENT-A-RY" can't be bothered to send an email, and just drops a line on the blog? Oi.

Unless he did both, and maybe more just so he could cover all his bases and ensure he gets a word back.

Why the hell do I only second-guess myself at the end of whatever scathing message I am typing?

Yes, he would indeed destroy the Morgan Spurlocks, like Tony Blairs will destroy the election.

Hmm, apparently Jeff would win in Britain, given that spelling.

I'm sure he'd win anyway.
