The voting at BuzzComix seems to be down, AGAIN... but don't worry, I'm sure it'll be back up in no time.... and no, it's nothing on this end to the people that have asked. as I seem to keep having to mention.
As far as I know, HPT hasn't been suspended or banned... yet.
let me repeat...
I HAVEN'T BEEN BANNED FROM BUZZCOMIX. MY SITE HASN'T BEEN BANNED. I HAVEN'T BEEN SUSPENDED. ETC.
thanks for the support and sorry for any confusion. I HAVE A *HUNCH* THINGS WILL BE BACK LATER TODAY.
GET IT... COZ THE COMIC I DREW... HAR HAR HAR.
ok, kids... it's easter... i'm supposed to be on break or something, NOT UPDATING THE MASSES.
Hastily Put Together has recently been added to webcomic.com's roster of lolz. Well, they don't officially have a ROSTER OF LOLZ, but they have a bunch of comics there -- like tonnes -- and now this comic is part of that, so yay.
I believe you can also vote for HPT (this site) there as well -- to all those readers that enjoy voting for this comic == by clicking their "must see!" link. Which reminds me I missed American version of "The Office" tonight... but I guess I'll catch the westcoast broadcast via satellite... ok, I'm rambling now or something. Anyhoozie, where was I...
Oh...
Special Thanks to Webcomics.com for adding me, and a very special hello to the new readers/fans/haters/stalkers! *mwah*
In other plugging news... I've also been added to thewebcomiclist.com's directory. Yay. They're a nice bunch of folk that I stumbled upon whilst drunk on Jäger... er... I mean while I was drinking some tea, and I figured, "Hey, I might as well get listed and help spread the word of this little site." So I did. Thanks for listing me, guys!
Welcome to those who have stumbled upon this mess from thar parts. ;)
Is "Thar" used anymore? Has it ever been used before? I don't know. :(
Where was I?
Oh right... updates...
So yeah... Again, you readers kick mucho stuff. Thanks for the support, voting, feedback, etc. You guys rock, keep it up!
Oh, and today's cartoon is a lot funnier if you pretend that you're reading it in a newspaper rather than a computerscreen. IT'S AN EXPERIMENT.
Anything else... not sure... but I'll let you know...
If you knew who Lei was and NOT who Thor was...? Well... I wish I was you.
I was actually inspired by the linking an article -- although, I skipped the article part, and went with google listings... 'coz I'm indecisive and OCD-ish -- from this "comic/news update" Jeph at QC did a few days ago. I ended up spending 4am reading up on the Socratic method. Damn you, Jeph. :(
I actually applied it with puppets later on that week. Don't ask. Please. :(
Ok... so yeah...
As always, thanks for the continued support. You guys rock. More bonus cartoons and updates on the way... If the bonus cartoon doesn't show for today it's because of a faulty misnamed file thing on the buzzcomix thingie... which I still haven't been able to fix, but I'll make up for it by having a tonne of new bonus cartoons for next week.
I'm serious. It's gonna be wacky! Or something... Huzzah!
Tonight/tomorrow's cartoon/webcomic may be a little late. I decided to re-draw the whole thing because I'm anal and have ocd. It should have been uploaded a few days ago... but I've been busy.
Oh, and concerning the guitar amp people... if you don't like the concept... change "guitar amp" for "expensive designer handbag".
I dunno... like Louis Vuitton or something.
Funnier?
Thanks for the continued support ie. Voting.
To answer some mail:
dear hastily put together, I really like your cat. I mean cartoon. Can I vote for it everyday?
-Alessandro; L.A., Cali
Yes. Yes you can. And I think I'll work on some more bonus cartoons for you as incentives.
Ok, more updates later. Just be mindful tonight's cartoon might be late. I think it's preggers.
same hastily put together time, same hastily put together url.
the voting continues to be awesome (as always). thanks for keeping this site around the top 150. you guys truly rock and i thank you for the support. <3
also... late this afternoon, i fixed up the previous cartoon (wow, that kinda rhymed). seems like i had uploaded it without realizing it wasn't quite finished. i think i had a few wires crossed in my head and my "mousetrap recognitive abilities" were on the fritz. hey, speaking of which... how hilarious is it that today's cartoon features a guy named "fritz"?
ok, hilarious... no. odd... maybe.
anyway, if you haven't checked out the revised cartoon, please do. it'll make more sense now. trust me.
ok, i need to wake up early... soooooooo... 'till tomorrow.
A quick little update for ye all. SOME ACTUAL SITE NEWS! OMG WTF!
-Info section has been updated. Small bio/actual info up. A question or two added. Etc. -Links page has even longer descriptions than before. -Tahoma font now used throughout site layout. -The lolz factor upped by 1015. -Some small tinkerings no one will notice -A new comic with a mouse in it.
ALSO, A VOTING UPDATE.
Some truly awesome people have done some truly awesome voting. As of this writing, we're at 146. Keep it up folks, it's a good indication of the love this little comic is getting. <3
Back tonight with a new comic and possible vent about American Idol. Whipping Post, What the...
Wow, that's pretty darn cool. Thanks to your voting, we're in the top 200 now. We kept hovering between 160-180. Last time I checked, we were at a very comfy 170. Huzzah.
Also, I decided to keep the 'bonus thank you cartoon thingamajiggie' thingie/concept/thing thing. Can I mention more variations of the word "thing"? Thingamabob. There we go. Yay!
so now, when you click that orange-thingey (tee hee) you will get a DIFFERENT bonus surprise thingie than before!.
Yup. I'll probably alternate them every couple days... maybe a new one every day? I DON'T KNOW, I GUESS YOU'LL HAVE TO VOTE AND SEE, EH? EH? HUH?
Yea. So there's that.
Granted, it doesn't follow the typical Hastily Put Together mold... it's more of a... HEY, HERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN MAYBE EXPAND UPON ON A LATER DATE! MAYBE? A sneak preview to a film that will never be made, if you will
Anyway, that's what that's about.
Remember, if you like this webcomic, remember to continue to vote and/or spread the word, because that's the only way this thing will keep going. Well, mostly. Huzzah. You guys are awesome. Thanks for the continous support.
Thingie?
Darn. Sure.
SO THERE!
NEW COMICS EVERY SINGLE DAY. MAYBE SOME WITH GIANT MICE? MAYBE SOME WITH MORE BEARS? WE SHALL SEE!
Last night, BuzzComix reset their voting thingie... which could have meant omogmgomgomg 'coldplay' lyric.... but the good news is that you guys are so darn awesome, that we're back in the 200s. 251 by last count! Yay. MUCH LOVE, GUYS. <3 Seems like more and more people are voting everyday too, and I can't thank you enough for it.... BUT I CAN SURE TRY.
DUN DUN DUN.
I HAVE PREPARED A MINI 'THANK YOU' COMIC, FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT, AT THE VOTING SCREEN. THE ONLY WAY TO SEE IT IS IF YOU VOTE! HOW DAMN SNEAKY IS THAT? HUH?
It's not 'Citizen Kane' by any means... just a little thank you lolz for your support. And it's more of a sketch than anything... A thank you sketch... Well, half a sketch...
IT'S A BONUS, OK?
If you pester me enough, I might include a new one every other week. We'll see.
Once again, you guys rock heavy and rock steady with the voting and what not. Keep it up and I'll be forced to spoil you guys with some cooler stuff. Maybe I'll start selling merch? Maybe I'll start cartooning in... C-O-L-O-U-R?
And in other plug-worthy news...
I recently saw a really funny, short flick from Spain. Nacho Vigalondo's 7:35 de la Mañana was nominated at last week's Oscars for 'Best Live-Action Short Subject'. If you like the absurdist nature of this webcomic -- with an added dose of dark-humour -- you'll probably like this film. :) You can watch it at the above link. It's a nail-biter. enjoy :D
That's it for today, fanbois and fangrrls.
Enjoy the cute bears in today's comic! It's Semi-Educational!
who knew we'd make it this far? ok, i did... but only because i have a whole wack-a-do of cartoons already in the works. i didn't expect it to go this quickly though. this is why most webcomics are three-times-a-week, or monday-friday. i think i'll use that trick for the next project i have lined up, and oh yes, there is another webcomic series waiting in the wings.
then again, this was waiting in the wings a long while, too. then there was that whole revitalize "the deer" thing. you'd only get that if you went to cegep champlain st-lambert during 1998-2000. and that was only if you read "the champlain edge". yea, that was me. he'll pop up again, you'll see. (for those 3 people that will accidently stumble upon this while googling or something.)
where was i? oh yea. 50 comics. wow. i still haven't even given this link to some close friends either. odd, eh? i'm sure there's a whole room of you absolutely clueless to this whole site. anyway, i'm rambling.
wow. 50. kinda odd that there's a birthday cake in today's comic. that wasn't planned either. i selected the order long ago, and my ocd prevents me from changing it. so, how's that for serendipity?
so happy unbirthday, HPT.
may there be hundreds more... or something.
oh, and we made it up to 259 in the buzzcomix thingie last time i checked... which is great since we were 278 this morning! continue the support guys, i'm loving it. not in a mcdonalds way, of course... ugh.
more comics to come. tomorrow's might be late, so be patient.
lot's more news, too.
enjoy. :)
edit: i just realized, oddly enough, that today is another milestone. how rather insanely appropriate.... Happy Birthday, Jules. :)
Hey kids, The voting at BuzzComix seems to be down, but don't worry, I'm sure it'll be back up in no time.... and no, it's nothing on this end to the people that have asked.
As far as I know, HPT hasn't been suspended or banned... yet.
Last I checked, the site made it to 275... So Yay! Thanks for the support, guys. You really rock. Keep voting... well... when BuzzComix sorts out their problems... Whatever that may be...
Hope you liked the cartoons so far. Apparently from what I've been hearing, you guys really like cartoons about Polar Bears. Who knew? I'll keep that in mind in future.
SO ONCE AGAIN, WE HAVEN'T BEEN BANNED FROM BUZZCOMIX.
Oh, and no one spoil 24, because I missed it earlier... Good thing I taped it.
'Till later!
EDIT: An HPT reader just informed me that I supposedly reached as high as 245!!! I guess we'll see what happens once it gets back up and running.
