The Reflex Blue Show Season Three Finale: The Twitter Show!

March 10th, 2011 | by Nate Voss
Posted In: The Reflex Blue Show

Our last show of 2010! In 2011!

We take questions from the field of Twitter (follow the site on @36point, Nate @vossome, and Donovan @eleven19), and then, we talk about them! It’s a killer end to the season, really. It at least gave me an excuse to turn Tron Girl there into InDesign Tron Girl. Which I love.

So listen up!

1PT.Rule Comic: All is Fair In Pants and War.

1PT.Rule Comic: All is Fair In Pants and War.

Wednesday I made a promise that we’d stick with Newton’s artistic longings, so consider today’s comic a minor distraction.

I’m not sure how much I want to go into the issue at hand, for fear of exposing myself. Let me just say that sometimes in life, things happen, and the best way to deal with them is to share them in three panels.

1PT.Rule Comic: A Proper Measuring Stick

1PT.Rule Comic: A Proper Measuring Stick

Happy Wednesday. We’ll be spending a little bit of time with Newton’s previous hair-heavy state (also seen here) for the next few days, or until I run out of jokes, whichever comes first.

News of note: 36 Point is going comic-only for a few weeks here while we re-tool the site. We’re looking into a lot of what Movable Type 4 offers and seeing what makes sense and what we think you guys would like to use around here (aside from timely comics, drew). I’m picturing an atom-bomb of total awesomeness that will probably amount to a water-balloon of “pretty-good” when it’s all said and done, but regardless, we’ll give it our best, promise.

fancy wednesdays

1PT.Rule Comic: Ignorance is Sometimes Bliss

1PT.Rule Comic: Ignorance is Sometimes Bliss

After Wednesday’s comic I was notified that a few of my friends, absent to me, had a full-blown conversation about Marie’s smoking. They seemed legitimately worried for her, and a little crushed that she might not be the sweet and innocent college design intern they always thought her to be. But how much do we really know about Marie outside of her internship? Does she always strike up a light to show apathy towards violence?

So I asked her about it, and she told me “only when I drink on the weekends, and when I win silver medals.”

So there.

1PT.Rule Comic: Design Is My Olympics III: Closing Ceremonies

1PT.Rule Comic: Design Is My Olympics III: Closing Ceremonies

Tanya Harding had it wrong you see. You want dat medal? You jus’ wait ’till you see dat medal on dat der podium. Then you take dat shit.

I feel like the homepage preview, our tiny little comic that lets new readers know there is, in fact, more content to their posts, kinda gives this one away. So either look at it, really close, or close your eyes and just start clicking like mad.
