New York Comic Con

[Rob]

Heads up!

We'll be in the Big Apple signing stuff February 6th - 8th at New York Comic Con (http://www.nycomiccon.com/). We went to this con last year and had a blast meeting all our NY fans. Even if you've never been to a comic convention before or think that they're nerdy, come check it out because you're wrong and stupid.

I'd describe NYCC as a warehouse full of interesting people and amazing art that you can walk around in for three days and never get bored.

We'll be selling a few t-shirts, a convention exclusive poster, and possibly something else, but we don't know if it'll be done for sure so I don't want to announce it.

Check us out at booth #1860. I'll post about this again and let you guys see the poster a little closer to the date.

[CharlieH]

What does the convention exclusive poster look like?

[Tweek]

He'll let us see the poster a little closer to the date.

Hang in there guys, one day I'll be able to come to see you at a con and you will be so happy.

[CharlieH]

Come to englerland during the summer :P

[justforthisreply]

I must know if the wooden park table and bench will return. I will only converse with C&H persons if I am protected from them by a barrier composed of one wooden table connected to two wooden benches.

Please inform.

Why don't you guys do a convention in Califailnia?

[Lag]

Why don't you guys do a convention in Califailnia?

It's spelled California.

[paraskeet]

Come to Seattle. So I can actually be dragged away from my computer for once.

[Rob]

Why don't you guys do a convention in Califailnia?

We do Comic Con in San Diego every year...

[Rob]

Please inform.

Yes, there will be a picnic table again.

[Assassin]

when will you be there?? what booth will you guys be at??

[Rob]

Assassin shut up.

[lolguy]

Fuck, I live in fucking Wisconsin.
Do you ever do anything in Wisconsin?

[Rob]

Fuck, I live in fucking Wisconsin.
Do you ever do anything in Wisconsin?

I drove through it once, but it might've been Wyoming. I don't know.

[lolguy]

Gah.
If you guys ever do anything closer to Wisconsin, I might actually have to check this out. But until then, I'll lay here in the fetal position.

[ShadowFlame]

Flordia plz.

[Paigeth]

You guys should come to Anime North (May) or Fan Expo (August) in Toronto, Canada. ( :
I know MANY people here who love your comics. Along with yours truly. ;D

[Metalhead636]

Los Angeles, fuck San Diego, I hate two hour drives and I hate planes.

[SmR]

I live halfway around the world, so no chance here. Well, actually, I was in NYC in September visiting my brother, but what I really came here to say is: Rob, your signature quote has inspired me. Thanks, man.

[nikolago]

I live 3/4 around the world, so definitely no chance here! But who knows, you might end up so famous some day, that you will even care to tour to Eastern Europe. Uh.. south-eastern... whatever, I'll die before I meet Dave. Or maybe, just maybe, he will decide to cam with me sometimes...

[Rob]

Whoa, it's getting sexy in here.

[Inseln]

U SHUD CUM2 AUSTRALIA

This.

[bandit4423]

Hmm... No chance of a midwest show? We here in Iowa do love you guys too you know... :D

[Arconvict]

Nikolago, look at this picture really fast please, and also i agree with Paigeth, come to toronto >.<

I mean Northern Califailnia!

[MistyTehMoose]

I live 3/4 around the world.

You mean 1/4 right? because uhh, the world is round, as far as I knew.

[paraskeet]

Forget everyone else, come to seattle.

[Slutty McBangerton]

I concur with the toronto idea. Fuck NYC :mad:

[Arconvict]

*hi-5s Slutty McBangerton*

[Rob]

I think we're doing Fan Expo in Canada. It all depends how the next couple cons go. We have a bad habit of losing huge amounts of money by going to cons, so we're trying to actually sell stuff that isn't crappy this time.

[Metalhead636]

Speaking of money, is making these comics your job bro?

From the looks of this thread, you could sell Dave.

[YutMcMoto]

I say have a whatever you're doing thing in Utah. I'm pretty sure Mormons are down to party. I always see those dudes with 7 or 8 chicks.

[mexander]

Nikolago, look at this picture really fast please

http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa229/arconvict/idiot.jpg


ever think that that was maybe the point...?

[Chaplin]

I'm hoping to be there. Are you guys there all day?

[degoroth]

The Seattle idea is quite a good one. I'd definitely attend.

[Rob]

Nikolago, look at this picture really fast please, and also i agree with Paigeth, come to toronto >.<

:ugh:

[Metalhead636]

Again, Rob, is C&H your job?

[Tweek]

Suck and fuck, $10.
Until you pay up, step back from the bitch cause he's on my time.

[mikeyberman]

From the looks of this thread, you could sell Dave.

Please sell him... am I the only one who gets bored of his stuff...

Okay, today's contortionist one was pretty good, but back around the time of "Hula Hoops Through the Ages", he was horrible.

Oh well... at least he's improving.

*prepares to be raped by Dave fans*

[Mr. Wink]

Come to England!!! Although if you do a comic-con in the Trough of Bowland then it will be just you, me and maybe some curious sheep. Actually, that sounds awesome!

[nikolago]

[ADD1CT36]

yea, i think you should come to my house. ill serve kool aid.

(what's wrong with you people? go to a friggin con and shut up)

[lolguy]

Just make a list on where you think your going over a set period of time, so we can all just quit bitching.

[FrogOrToad]

Awesome!

I liked that one. It was cute. Far from my favourite but it brought a cheery warmness over me.

[SlothMan]

U SHUD CUM2 AUSTRALIA
TOTES

All of your 73 Australian fans would be very appreciative. Except me, I hate you fat bastards.

[Scrotemeal]

Its ok, they wouldn't want to go to Perth anyway.

[SlothMan]

I think most of the Australians on this forum are in Perth?

Most of the active ones anyway.

[Metalhead636]

Maybe they should go to Los Angeles.

[Crabstick]

Maybe they should go to Los Angeles.
Holy shit shut the fuck up. LA's a hole anyway.

That's not really a good thing ya know.

What do you mean by hole?

[CharlieH]

ASSHOLE

[Infamous_Moose]

Ever do anything in North Carolina? Maybe there could be a con in the Raleigh/Durham area?

[Greger]

If I buy all your t-shirts, will you take a picture with me so I can be at the front page?
Oh, and will you refund me for new shirts if they shrink?

[lolguy]

I liked that one. It was cute. Far from my favourite but it brought a cheery warmness over me.

Are you getting those thoughts again Dave?

[mattrwh]

Heads up!

.

If the "something else" is a compilation book of all the cyanide and happiness comics, I am definitely coming... with money... and smiles. :D

Actually i'll be coming anyways. big fan! See you all there!

[hoopymo]

Go to scotland.

[Dave]

Go to scotland.

no

[Shmuh]

I do not think you guys want to go to Fan Expo this year for the sole fact that I am going to be there and will stay buzzing around your booth for a whole saturday.

Why the hell not?


Your irish dave, as long as you stay on the green half of glasgow you won't get stabbed.

[Metalhead636]

Maybe you should go to LA. You have no idea how many Explosm fans are in this city.

[Raxo]

Maybe you should shut the fuck up metalhead.

[Metalhead636]

Maybe you should shut the fuck up metalhead.

Maybe you could be a little nicer.

[Prawnatron]

Come to Newcastle. I know at least one person on here who lives there.

[agentjake4]

come to Tenerife.. or just y'know... be looooooosssseeerrrss in New York

EDIT: TBH I would love to buy Dave, I bid 1$ (I know, tis more than he earns in a year)

[Oofie]

Come to Newcastle. I know at least one person on here who lives there.

The cool kids from Newcastle went to the London con.

[Demoir]

Come to Newcastle. I know at least one person on here who lives there.

I support this motion. I think it'll be well worth them going for the 2/3 fans who live here.

[Quadros]

I liked that one. It was cute. Far from my favourite but it brought a cheery warmness over me.

That was pee.

Also you're 3500 miles too far west etc.

[ssandiiee]

hay thar dave,
THIS IS AWESOME>> http://www.flashasylum.com/db/files/Misc/davesig.jpg
make one in my name?! (the name is sandy.. or you can use sandoodle)

thanks!

oh and by the way, when you call a place a hole, how is that supposed to be insulting?
do you look at a hole in the ground and say "ewww a hole!"

[Niki]

come to detroit come to detroit come to detroit.

[Raxo]

Got to Detroit if you want to get a taste of what a third world country is like.

[Metalhead636]

Maybe if they go to Detroit they can get mugged of the convention exclusive posters and all the money they make from selling shirts.

Hey I've been there. We'll I drove around it, on my way to Jacksonville (What a fucking dump, aside from Camp Legeune.)

I don't like your weather.

And...

I find it strange that I have a grounding plug for an outlet in my mouth. :eyebrow:

[Dave]

Your irish dave, as long as you stay on the green half of glasgow you won't get stabbed.

I think its the Glaswegian accent. I don't have a clue what you guys are saying. Maybe we will go there someday though, the scots are a nice bunch of people. As for the green/red and blue thing, living in Belfast has granted me some wonderful skills in being able to slip and out of both sides :). Lets just say I know the sash as well as the soldier's song. And I know how to say billy boys as well as a hail mary.

[Jmswimmer24]

Breaking news! if you turn around you'll be 1/4 of the way away! try it some time!

[Rob]

I think it was a joke.

I found it funny how Dave made a comic about "sparing a QUATER"

We all know where his inspiration came from.
Nice job (Y)

[yomamadotcom]

So what I'd like to know is what happened to you guys being funny? 'Cause seriously it's been a while.

[lolguy]

What I would like to know is why nobody gives a shit about your opinion.

[Quadros]

So what I'd like to know is what happened to you guys being funny? 'Cause seriously it's been a while.

Did it happen just after doctors removed your humour gland? And also half your brain? Because that's kind of an explanation in and of itself.

No. Not really.
Thanks for asking.

What about yourself?

"hole" is short for Shithole.

By the way.

In all honesty, I slightly agree with this previous post. The comics are getting kinda unfunny and others are just repeated jokes with different set-ups. Nowadays, the only ones I actually get a laugh out of are the ones Kris draws. Sure, once in awhile, there'll be one thats got a pretty humorous punchline but that doesn't happen too often. Er... no offense to the other comic artists of Explosm. Maybe its time for a Guest Comic Week to give you all a bit of extra time to think up a couple fresh ideas? I'm sure updating daily is a difficult task.

You're complaining about the comics not being funny, then you ask for a guest week?
Riiiight...

Obviously, you are incapable of reading an entire post.

The Explosm team probably needs a break from the constant updating and would most likely benefit from it, as it would give them more time to think up fresh ideas. And who knows? Maybe some of us C&H fans have some funny ideas we'd like to add to a Guest Week.

Why do people feel the need to be a complete dick at every possible moment?

[Rob]

Believe it or not, guest weeks are about ten times more work than actually making 7 comics ourselves. We learned that the hard way during our last guest week when we spent about two weeks going through nearly 3,000 submissions trying to pick 7.

I think the last couple of weeks or so the comics have been much better than usual.

[agentjake4]

yeah - lthough kris is my favourite (dont shoot me) dave's todays made me smile about the umbilical cords :P

[ssandiiee]

dude, why the hell are you dissing the comics, they can read these ya'know.
what complete jerks! shuttup and leave 'em alone.
if you think they're shit keep it to yourself!

*shrugs* like you guys are any funnier. really.
the best you can come up with is witty insults. go and make your own site about that.

[MistyTehMoose]

i hate the comics and the writers and this site and i bet rob kris dave and matt are going to be soooooo insulted i said that XD

[Rob]

I've had it. I'm done making comics. I QUIT.

[MistyTehMoose]

GOOD THEY WERE SHIT ANYWAY

[Pelican Man]

Obviously, you are incapable of reading an entire post.

Oh no, I read the entire post. I just mean that Guest Weeks are horribly unfunny, so the suggestion was ironic.

[Dragunov07]

Rabble Rabble.

You can't 'take a break' from being funny, you're either funny as a norm or you're one of those people who tries really hard to be funny and comes up as sub-par. I think you should keep your funny ideas to yourself. I'm willing to bet they're not funny.

And before you spout off about me being a dick, just take a look at the old fanart threads. Those people thought they were funny too :indiff:

[Synik]

Hey ever think about coming down to San Antonio?

Well, I still say you're being a dick about it. Sure, some people have crap ideas on what they consider to be funny, but not everyone is unfunny. Its not like reading comics automatically make you suck at drawing them. Back at my high school, I drew comics for the school newspaper and people loved 'em.

You should steal all the good ideas and store them for later.

[Vir]

Fuck I just remembered why I usually avoid this forum as if it were a shot of every STD imaginable.

[Rob]

Yeah, I'm gonna start moderating the news forum I think.

I didn't want to have to pull the 'you don't think they're funny because you're too retarded to understand' cliche but holy crap it finally actually fits.

[Rob]

Hey guys knock it off.

[CharlieH]

O.K. then, sensible question, will you be doing a similar convention exclusive poster in london this summer?

[Rob]

Yeah, it'll probably be the same poster. Notice I said "convention exclusive" and not "New York convention exclusive"

We pretty much wanted a cool item that you can only get in autographed form.

[Meepo]

I didn't want to have to pull the 'you don't think they're funny because you're too retarded to understand' cliche but holy crap it finally actually fits.

Reason: I said knock it off.

[Marx0r]

I'm definitely going, but do you have specific times that you will and won't be there, or will you be at the booth for the duration of the convention? I only ask because I don't think I'll be able to stay in the city for more than an hour and I don't want to miss anyone.

[agentjake4]

I've had it. I'm done making comics. I QUIT.

NOSERS!! WE LUV YOU REALLY!! <3

We'll be there pretty much the whole time, aside from taking breaks to eat and stuff.

"a convention exclusive poster"

This is within my interests.

[mrdurp4]

cant wait to see you guys there!

but first off. what days are you going to be there, and how much is the poster.

[YellowMachine]

who's all goin to the nycc? I'll be there. will def stop by the booth to get a shirt and poster. it'll be my first con. any recommends on what to see or do? much appreciated in advance.

[sagaplayer]

i have a suggestion/request for what you can do at comic con. at the same booth island as explosm, there's a booth for a group called silverlode. they've made an rts mmo game which i've become quite addicted to. they're giving out a special promo unit at the con which is only available at the con and you can't get outside of the con. i may just be a silly gamer with access to google but could someone please, pretty please, go by their booth (#1757 and the same booth island as here) and request that they add these special uber units to the accounts "teff" and "veganium"?

ok, that sounds rather pathetic. it IS rather pathetic. pretty please?

now that i've found this forum, and see that it has tons of activity, i need to find out exactly what this place is all about. pardon me while i go browse.
