Few short notes on my blog...
very very funny. especially if you've ever tried programming...hehe...ya. brilliant.
I totally agree, this one is really great!
thanks guys - and thanks Pádraigín for contacting me to point out our quite ironic capitalisation error which I have now fixed... I'm resisting the urge to make jokes about you which echo the cartoon... :P
(we had not capitalised Earth in the original posting...)
hahaha...resistance appreciated ;) (and unmade comment noted... :P)
This one went over my head I gotta admit! I know what an anal probe is, I got one in my drawer, Ha Ha, only kiddin.. I´m not gay! I´m sure Frank isn´t either.. Ha Ha! Not that there would be anything wrong if he was tho, I´m not homophobic. Anyway, sorry!
What is this, weird comment week???!!!
Rich, I think what you're missing here is the term 'to be anal' as in to be pedantic or overly attentive to detail.
There's going to be some very disappointed folks coming from the search engines this week, me thinks.
That looks like the poster from 2001. Not sure I get the gay subtext tho.
Bif is dead right, `to be anal`is a Freudian term for being uptight as a result of a dislike of potty training in childhood. Anal people aren´t always gay, although most generally are.
THERE'S NO GAY SUBTEXT!!!! Not one that I'm aware of anyway...
We're so misunderstood these days...
Do you know that some well known Hollywood actresses are rumoured to have had their anuses bleached for cosmetic purposes. isn´t that a howl! Imagine anal beads floating in outer space! and anal plugs!
I'm beginning to worry about what sort of googleads we're going to start throwing up now
'Hollywood' actresses? Surely you are thinking of a different movie industry...?
I am really begining to worry about our readership... :P
Jason, I think you´re incredibly wrong about gay people being "anal" in the freudian sense. Most gay people are the total opposite and really love to party and let it all hang loose! Cool cartoon!

I wouldn´t even dignify that with a response.

You both are getting better and better...Don't let some comments distract you from this fact. This cartoon is just brilliant…
I don't think I've ever taken any notice of anything anyone has ever said to me. But thanks anyway, we're glad you like them.
To the eyes of a god, mankind must appear as a species of bacteria which multiply and become progressively virulent whenever they find themselves in a congenial culture, and whose activity diminishes until they disappear completely as soon as proper measures are taken to sterilize them.
Daisy Daisy, give me your answer do.. I´m half crazy, all for the love of you...
I´m afraid that a little research will show that the AI-017 "Earth Impact" warning system is not operated by LINEAR-Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research, NEAT- Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking, or LONEOS- Lowell Observatory Near-Earth Object Search. Indeed, a little research will show that "Earth Impact" warning systems are deep space telescopes located on the surface of this planet and not devices in outer orbit. The probe referred to above is a mere figment of the imagination. The view of Earth is a farce, but to dwell overlong on this point would be a trifle pedantic. On behalf of those who like a little realism from their cartoons I would like to say to the creators that a little research goes a long way and would greatly enhance our appreciation of their work. Take a tighter hold of these charges before the entire stable runs loose, and in the future we can all get along just fine. Godspeed!
I find your mockery of NASA really infuriating, yesterdays successful STARDUST mission shows what great things may be accomplished by scientists, and if missions are prone to failure blame should not be cast on the technicians or their instruments as this is an incredibly complex field and errors are unavoidable.In the future, mankind may be very grateful for space research if an Armageddon scenario should ever occur, and I think every dollar spent in this area is money well spent, and negative publicity, even if unintentional, may well result in the extinction of mankind. The idea that a probe could develop a personality and behave in a "difficult" manner is absurd... yet not entirely absurd.
Marquis: Indeed.
Anonymous: If you're serious then you'll note there is no NASA reference in our cartoon. If you're not serious, I'm impressed, but a little worried about the effort you went to, and finally, if you're Val you must be really bored over there in Hamburg...
Marquis: To dwell on the farcical nature of our rendition of the Earth is a trifle pedantic? A little research may go a long way all it wants, so long as it stays a long way away from me.
Anonymous: At a guess, this isn't the first time you've been told this but I think you've probably got a little too much time on your hands.
Pray tell why your work has failed to be nominated for Best Sex Blog? This is most peculiar, I personally find your erotica far more stimulating than "Easily Aroused" and "Wet Miranda" for example, even if it should fail to arouse the reader to the contemplation of Almighty God.
First of all, I don´t want to be confused with the individual above. Secondly, My name is not Val & I don´t live in Hamburg, let´s say my name is Daniel & I live somewhere in the USA, but as this information cannot be verified it`s useless, which is why I have been posting as "Anonymous". Thirdly, I run a small business so I don´t have a lot of time on my hands in actual fact. I´m responsible for several negative comments on your site, which I have been visiting for six months or more, in other words I´m a fan. The NASA comment may have been a little short of the mark but this is an area of particular interest to me so I may have been over emotional, NASA has been severely underfunded in recent years & has received a lot of bad press, especially in the States. Just so you know I did not contact any organisation about the content of this site, as I have decided to monitor your work on my own, for the time being. Lately, I´m sorry to say, I think you have been overstepping the mark. As you say yourselves, this site is meant to attract a broad spectrum, so I think you should give a little more consideration to this fact which you yourselves recognize. Although I am a supporter of Israel, I made the Jenin comment in the interest of fairmindedness. If you care to ridicule me in the future you should know that hanging above the desk where I am writing is a letter of thanks signed by the Field Director of the CIA for my service to my country. I alerted the CIA to an Islamist website which provided the intelligence services with information which prevented a major terrorist attack, which one is classified as it may endanger my life & the lives of my family. In case you didn´t know most internet research is conducted by concerned citizens as the CIA simply cannot monitor the entire web. While you are obviously not terrorists, I do think you need to recognize that we are all active participants in the current "culture wars" whether we like it or not, so anyone transmitting material needs to fully consider the consequences of his actions & the effect his opinions may have on ignorant viewers, whether unintentional or subversive.
Actually, I don't consider myself to be part of any 'cultural war' and I resent that you've somehow decided that I am. We never said the site was meant to attract a broad spectrum, it just does and we expect the commentors to show some respect to other commentors. You were the only one, and I did follow this up with a number of people, who drew any parralels between that cartoon and Jenin or child abuse of any kind. You're just reading too much into it. I'm sorry but NASA does not and will never qualify as a sacred cow in my book but in the interest of clarity, they weren't mentioned - it could just as easily have been a Russian space probe.
I'm amazed Bif managed to put together a coherent comment in response to this, my jaw was still on the floor by the time he responded.
So once again let me just say this: 'wot he sed'.
Oh, oh, and have you read Deception Point by Dan Brown? He might be more worthy of your attention... he actually DOES mention NASA - I'll say no more I don't want to give the plot away.
First of all, it could not have been a Russian space probe as the Russian space programme does not have the technological capacity to launch a "meteor collision warning system" like the one in your cartoon. All such systems are American at present, even though they are not all operated by NASA. Like I said before, this a minor point. Secondly, we are all part of the culture war between Conservatives & Liberals, it´s time to decide which side you are on. Thirdly, I have read "Deception Point" & it´s my favourite Dan Brown thriller, far better than "The Da Vinci Code". In the future I will sign myself Deep Throat, Jnr.; a) to distinguish my comments from other "Anonymous", as this appears to be causing some confusion, and b) to show that I have a sense of humour & can joke around with the best folks.
Ok but so long as we now understand that it is you who is putting this on NASA. I tried to deflect it away from them but you wouldn't let me.
I'm still not involved in any culture war and I don't intend getting involved any time soon. I am the Switzerland of the culture wars. Not sure where Frank stands on this though.
I'm fully involved in the culture wars and am fighting on the side of pop culture.
We're winning too.
Ha! Great one!
Thanks Mojotek!
CIA certificate? Meteor Collision Warning system? Cultural wars? That's hilarious! Your best stuff yet lads. Much funnier than those rubbish cartoons...
Hey Deep Throat, Jnr.! I'm involved in the cultural wars and I've decided to pick a side. It's whatever side you're not on!
Get it? Huh? Do you?
CIA Certificate my arse...
i think your all missing the point, the point is there is a real meteor heading our way, the government has money to create a system of protection, but, they wont spend it until the design is perfect, which makes them anal, and, with the alien anal probe claim from alot of "people", the double entendre` is hilarious. Get it, its in space, hmmmmm.
