This comic is almost entirely fictitious, with the exception being the concept of it. A guy I’ve known for a little while, who I usually see with a cane, recently told me a story about a leg injury he got as a kid. I went (like a dumbass), “Oh… I always thought that was a pimp cane.” The truth of it is, he actually took it quite well and, the other day, when he told me he’d been reading my comic, I had to ask if I could make a comic about that particular conversation. I just hope it didn’t come across like he’s a jackass or anything, because that’s the opposite of the truth.
Also, I’m sorry the comic was late today, but I only recently regained internet service after a two-day outage. Yeah, another one. I get the feeling that’s what I get for calling this thing Malfunction Junction.
This again is an entirely factual comic. I have to admit though, it’s a little disappointing to have some complaining jackass customer coming in, hitting the flamethrower button on them, and NOT seeing them burst into flames.
Based on an actual conversation with an actual roommate. My hope is that I transcribed it into comic form effectively.
Two points worth mentioning: One, there is not an FAQ up yet, but there should be later today. Second, I’ll try and force myself to give straight answers, as much as I’d prefer not to. I will get through this.
EDIT: FAQ done (until more questions arise). “About” page done. Malfunction Junction Livejournal Community linked to (on menu bar).
Why is there a Livejournal Community when comments are available on the site? Well, people seemed to want it, for one. And for two, Livejournal has a way better comment system than any other weblog software. Seriously, someone really should have ripped them off by now. People need to get on that.
