1. Toot Toot!
I saw that earlier today. Congratulations! I first became aware of your graphic arts talent back when I made a request for the Rove Wanted poster. Skimmed your blog, but will have to pay a longer visit later when I have time. Good job!:toast:

2. Thanks for the visit and your kind words.

I'm hoping it will increase traffic to my site.

Also, I hope to create more of a dialog with visitors by adding questions to my commentaries, perhaps it will inspire people to comment.:think:

Next Friday I'm suppose to get a Q&A segment. Be sure to watch out for that as well.

I remember doing the Rove posters,

Did you use any of them?

How did they look printed up?

4. Rove poster & pics
I got so many offers of the Wanted poster, I can't remember whose I ended up using. I think I may have finally gotten the original. Anyway, you can see some pics from the protest here (not my site).

6. Great Pics: Thanks for sharing
It's so refreshing to see what people can come up with slogan-wise.

We are very fortunate to have computers and other equipment to accomplish this task.

Just think of everything we have at our disposal: (n 1: the power to use something or someone; "used all the resources at his disposal" )

It makes protesting, guerrilla marketing, freeway blogging so much easier

Praise BOB:evilgrin:

7. Amazing how much is there already!
In the Blogbox it says you have only been posting since October, but you have so much stuff! I know how hard it is to get a piece finished, so a big orchestral horn section accompaniment for you. Including French/Freedom Horns!

They keep the bullshit so thick I'll bet one of the hardest parts is just choosing which atrocity to focus on, huh?


Keep up the good work - as people find it, you'll get more comments.
Also remember that many more people see it than comment.
I very rarely comment on blogs, myself. I should do it more often, though, as an encouragement.

BP:smoke: :smoke: :thumbsup:

11. Wow a whole orchestral horn section :-O
I appreciate that, BP.

It is kinda hard to pick who I will target for the day. Like you said it becomes difficult choosing just one:evilgrin:

And I also have a tendency not to comment on blogs, especially the ones that filter their comments before posting them. I guess that has been a form of frustration.

Thanks for the horn section, it means a lot believe me.:blush:

8. More than just a mention...you were one of the "featured" few!
Edited on Sat Dec-10-05 10:12 AM by Poet Lariat
I've been an admirer of your work for years. I would also commend your dedication over the past few months for coming up with new graphics and commentary almost daily. Love to see a recurring series on "Lie of the Month" although at the frequency that the lies get churned out, it may be hard to pick just one.

Congratulations MM :toast: :toast: :toast:

Edit to add that upon reflection, "Lie of the Week, Day or Hour" may actually be necessary.

12. I'm thrilled to have an admirer
I guess the hardest part of daily blogging has been to keep a library of my cast of characters handy so I can come up with a storyline to follow.
Now that I have gotten a lot of the cast prepared it just a matter of choosing my subject.

With so many of their scandals being exposed it requires a lot of brain power just to focus on a target.
But at least they're making it easy.

I feel like a magickian "Pick a Scandal, Any Scandal, Is This the Scandal you chose?"

What am I talking about I am a Magickian. It's who I am in CyberSpace.
Magick Muffin reporting for duty.:rofl:

Thanks for your support PL, it means a lot to me.

15. content + style + timeliness
As a fellow graphic artist, I gotta say -- I have noticed some really cool color combos that, in a verbal description, one would never expext to work. Pink and green! But they do, and that is harder than it looks, folks. Extra points for that!

Also, the comments - I like the questions format, but i hope you include some rant material too, from time to time. It adds to the humor in a special way.

Finally, since you run such a quick schedule, your work is always on top of stories. Usially on toon pages, I save up a week or so between visits - comlogic is more of a daily news source and relief valve in one. That's cool.

It's rewarding when people acknowledge your accomplishments.:blush:

I'll try to continue to add my rants as well as the questions segment.

Cool Onion, crispini, and garthranzz.

Everybody's kind words and enthusiasm means a lot and let's me know this IS worth it.

Although I would continue to post even if no one else saw it. But I am overwhelmed that you guys like my efforts.:grouphug:
