Just one more day and it'll be a new month.
Weird.
The year is moving too fast.
Next thing I know this site will be a year older. Then I'll need to get it a cake... or a ring. Then it'll give me crap 'coz I still didn't meet the site's folks. And the site's friends will call me a bum and try to set it up with another human. And they'll be a huge fight because I don't like the best-friends or I don't understand hastilyputtogether.com's career goals. And then we'll argue over where to spend the holidays. Etc. Etc.

Until then... Enjoy the new strip. :)

Well, another webcomic tonight -- like every night, actually ;)-- and this one has a doggie in it!
Aww... I love doggies.
And all animals really.
I like cats too. I have a cat. He goes meow.
Meow. Meow. Meow.
I have a dog too. He doesn't go meow though. :(

Here's some quick plugs before I head off to bed.

The new 'Y - The Last Man' finally came out this week, and we finally learn what's kept Yorick alive all this time.
HI-LARIOUS.
And riveting as always.
Damn good drama, that book is.

Also out this week is the new Adrian Belew solo record... and wow does it own 52 weeks from ownsville.
Adrian of course has worked with everyone from Tori Amos to Nine Inch Nails to Frank Zappa, and this new record, called 'side one', is pretty darn smashing.
He got Tool's Danny Carrey and Primus's Les Claypool to help him form a power-trio for a majority of the tracks... and wow, I can't stress how great this record is.
It is phenomenal.
It's only 33 minutes... but it's an AMAZING 33 minutes.
I'm only plugging it because it hasn't been mentioned enough lately.
Heck, the official Tool site hasn't even plugged it yet. :p
But seriously, there's something for everyone on this LP, and I highly recommend it.
Made my week.

Okay, enough ramblings from a music-junkie, enjoy the new cartoon, and see you in 24...

Yes. You read right. I'm really tired.
I was going to go to bed early today, but I figured I'd stay up and update this webcomic.

Why?

Well, because I owe it to you.
Yup.
I owe it to the good reader of "Hastily Put Together".
I owe it to the person that clicks on http://hastilyputtogether.com every 5 minutes after midnight to see if I have updated.
I owe it to the boy or girl or artificial-sweetener that is expecting a laugh, chuckle, or lolz.
To every hat-wearer or goat-keeper.
To the monkeys and the car-batteries.
And to Iowa. Especially, Iowa.

Just this afternoon I was speaking to a loved one on an instant messenger service and I said, "Loved one, when I die, I want my headstone to say "He just wanted to make the world lolz."
She replied with a " <_< ".
I'm not sure what she meant by that... but it didn't matter.

Do you know why?

I'm not sure either... but what I do know is there's another cartoon up.
Just like there is a new cartoon up everyday on the main page.
How's that for exciting?
"Plenty"?
I say "very".

Oh yeah.

R.I.P., Johnny.
:(

Can't really add more than that. It's friggin' Carson.
'Nuff Said.




The site has finally updated the links section. More to come, obviously.

And a new webcomic!
Yay.
Well, we I update the webcomic everyday... but that's besides the point.
More to come...

edit:
Why do I keep typing "we"?
:(

It appears some good-natured fan has linked me over at http://www.quixoticcrap.com! :O
Thank you kindly, sir. :)
Looks, like I'll have to fine-tune this site now that I'm getting outside visitors. :p
Alas, I can't stay in beta-mode forever.

If you have happened to come across "Hastily Put Together", whether you were linked by someone or whether on your own, please feel free to comment and let me know what you think, where you heard about it, and all that type of stuff.
It'd be much appreciated and OMG IT'D BE FUN TOO!!!111111ONE.

Or something.

More updates later on!
INCLUDING... DUN DUN DUN

another webcomic!!!

AND MORE EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!!!!

'Till then...

-TR!!!

And so do UFOs.

And so does pranking archaeologists.

And so does starting sentences with "and" -- 'coz you're not supposed to!
:O :O :O

Yesterday's update (on the comic, not the blog, silly) ran a little late... like 12 hours or so... but chances are you saw it anyway.

In case you didn't... well, there was an update and it had monkeys.

Yup.

Number of cartoons uploaded: 8
Number of cartoons currently ready to be uploaded: lots
Pick a Number from 1 to 20: pi
Number of Number from number: wha
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood: uh
Number Nine: Number Nine. Number Nine. Number Nine. Number Ni
Number of way-too-too obvious Beatle references in the last sentence: [s]one[/s]two
Number of times I missed a typo in the word "reference": three
Number of times I say webcomic in this entry: one
Number of minutes I thought about saying "web comic" instead": about five... wait six.
Number of items in this entry that I can list before it gets ol

but without the 24-hours thing... or the terrorism.
Or Keifer.

But we still have updates. One last night and one again in 15 minutes!

OH THE DRAMA.

As for tinkering... yes.
Always.

Why?
Well, why not.

MORE TO COME.
Same Hastily Put Together time.
Same Hastily Put Together url.

'coz 60s Bat-Show references never get old.
Right?

If you have happened to stumble upon this site on your own...
or if someone gave you the linky-winky to this webcomic...

Please note that this site is NOT fully realized yet.
A number of changes will go about during the next few days.
So, please keep that in mind.

Another important note:
It appears that Marilyn Manson has been missing since 1997.
If you've found him, please let me know.
Thank You.

Oh, and you might want to inform whoever is currently going by that monicker that we're on to him. :)

Sneaky robot.

Couple superduper webcomic notes:

-New Comic Up!
-More Webcomics up tomorrow and the day after!
-There's actually a Crescent Moon out now!
-Did I mention more webcomics up this week?
-Yes, I did! More Comics up all week!

Yay!

Some teasers:
The next few days will be filled with bears, boats, monsters, monkeys, and robots!
Not enough? How about aliens, dinosaurs, and a geography professor?

You guys are getting spoiled!

Or not.

note to fans:
'Hastily Put Together' is updated everyday at Midnight (most of the time).
News/Blog updates are done sometime after that... if AT ALL!

DUN DUN DUN!

More tomorrow!

-Tr

'Coz I sure can!

A new 'Hastily Put Together' webcomic has been uploaded.
Enjoy.

And yes, I have bad penmanship too. :(

I'm cutting this update relatively short because Andy Kindler is on Letterman.

New one tomorrow!
(cartoon, not Letterman.)

And I think I am nearing the end of the Tinkering phase.
Alas, poor webcomic (or is it web comic?)site tinkering, I missed ye well.

Actually, I don't.
I'm done with tinkering. Hear me? Oh God of Tinkeronomy! A poxy on you!
So, yeah...
Where was I?
Oh right, I actually won't miss tinkering with this site..

And even more actually-er -- if you can fathom such tiptop grammar as such, he winked coyly -- I don't think I'm done tinkering with http://hastilyputtogether.com.
What?

Yes, I've been caught in a boldface lie. 'Hastily Put Together' is just a sham. A front! It's not a webcomic site. It's a place where I can lie about being done tinkering. 'Coz (or because, whichever you prefer, I'm not choosy... much) I'm probably going to tinker with this site everyday.
Yup.
I don't like doing it... but "it's what I gots to do".
Okay, maybe I like updating and tinkering just a tad...

And on that note...

Several things on this Site have been updated since you may have seen it last -- so that's referring to all 5 of you... Yes, I know all about you. Especially you NUMBER TWO!
*shakes fist*

Simply click the handy-dandy-sweet-as-candy banner above and enjoy your stay...
Ok, it's a limited banner right now, and not all the pages are fully updated, but I just got this up and running a few days ago, sheesh.

It's late. And I ramble.

Keep looking here for more insanity inanity and site updates.

I can tell you right now, it'll probably be about a decent FAQ, an updated Links Page, or about how I'm really fed up of tinkering with a different font.

Ah, instability, how you rock!

Oddly enough, this past afternoon I went looking for new audiophile equipment. The cartoon was done months in advance and was always slated third. Can you say "weird"?
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeird.

However, as of this writing, my ears are still intact.
Knock on wood.

Speaking of wood... still tinkering...
(wha?).
Might be replacing the news section with a blog with comments... unless i can figure out how to incorporate that with the CUSP script.

scratch that, just added a link to the new Hastily Put Together blogger blog! :O
Let me know what you think... and yes...
I'm still tinkering. :(

Oh, I'll be updating on Saturday and Sunday.
You lucky bastards.

peace.

-Theo

edit:
apparently things on the blog are still a little screwy...
(yes, caitie... it's the font)
So I'll be... yes, you guessed it.
TINKERING.

Yes, I'm still tinkering with some ideas and fidgeting with some code because that's what I do.

I tinker. I constanly fuss. I constanly add.
Not like in "Rainman", more like "Lucasman", only no one shoots first because I'm still thinking about which "blaster" would best be used.
Le sigh.
Wait... did I just make a SW joke?
:
Ok, moving right along -- things are going real nice... I guess I'll see for sure once midnight rolls around and I update this new strip.

Er... did I say midnight?
Whrooooooooops!
I ruined the Illusion that this post was written exactly at the witching hour. :(

I'm a bad webtoonist. :( :(

-tr

edit:
update... still tinkering trying to get the news archive to actually archive news...
go fig.

Welcome to Hastily Put Together, or as we're known on the "intraweb" and the "internets" hastilyputtogether.com.
Yeah, it's a long url.
I know.
But this will be a really long "intro", so it balances out. :)

After 2 days of tinkering and screwups, this site is now LIVE.
I expect to update at the very least every week...
Seeing as how i'm an attention whoooooore, that will probably turn to every day.
A better estimate would probably be every 3 days.

Ok, scratch that.

Since I am running this puppy, I'll stick with a Monday to Friday schedule with an added bonus of "MAYBE OR MAYBENOT" on the weekends.

Sound like a plan?
I would hope so.

I'll be tinkering with this site throughout the first couple of weeks, so brace yourselves for a bumpy ride.

Special thanks to those awesome folks that came up with this comicupdaterscript.
They're going to save me some hassles.

Lord knows they'll be plenty.

Hello world.

edit:
Yeah, I re-uploaded the 'toon with some minor non-noticeable changes and ended up deleting this update.

tee hee.

edit2:
Imagine how long the url would seem if I referred to it as http://www.hastilyputtogether.com ?
Good thing I didn't do that. :o
