1PT.Rule Comic: An Egg Timer Might Be Overkill

1PT.Rule Comic: An Egg Timer Might Be Overkill

I’ve had this strip written for about 10 to 11 months now, but it always needed the proper setup (see Wednesday’s strip for that). With my penchant for saying the most inappropriate things at the least-appropriate moments, I’ve sometimes fantasized that this scenario is note-for-note what my return to full-time employment would be. No, just kidding. I am an excellent candidate for your office’s design needs. Promise.

It was suggested, rather strongly, last night, that further Great Pizza Hunt Excursions be given their own space on this website, and so that will be the way it goes in the future. Bravo to those who convinced me. 

It was also asserted that this space be reserved to speaking only of things that relate directly to the strip at hand. To which I reply: Batman Returns is the third best Batman movie, hands down. Discuss if you like, but it will not change facts.

1PT.Rule Comic: A Different Approach

1PT.Rule Comic: A Different Approach

Coming into our 100th comic at what seems a staggering pace here, people. Please don’t expect anything on the awesome scale of the 50th strip (that was a product as much of lucky timing as anything), but go ahead and expect something a little bit special. I mean, I [heart] you. I want to give you nice things when I can.

1PT.Rule Comic: Dueling Yellow Fates

1PT.Rule Comic: Dueling Yellow Fates

Hello! Welcome back from Memorial Day, I guess. As a working man, 4-day weeks always mess up my clock. Let’s pretend it’s Monday and call it comic day. We’re still going to pretend tomorrow is Wednesday, which it is, so we’ll have a comic then, too. Then Thursday is podcast day, and everyone will live happily ever after.

I want you guys to check out The Brads, if you haven’t yet, and add it to your bookmarks in a folder called “Awesome Webcomics Based Around Design” right after 1PT.Rule. It’s a weekly, but creator Brad Colbow makes up for fewer updates with full-color and an ability to weave the very structure of comics in a web-based format into the humor of his strip that I find myself very jealous of. Check it out.
