WHAT?! If you wanna know why you're going there here's some FAQ's.
What is the friggin dealio with the Comedy Central thing?
I agreed to do a bunch of cartoons for Motherload at comedycentral.com because I kinda wasn't making a living going the way I was going (was sort of doing the opposite) and needed to figure out a way to keep everything going normalish without getting too distracted from this place which would have made me sad.
All Comedy Central said is, do some toons and we'll host em over here and give you some monay. Just bleep the F word or don't use unlicensed music. Other than that it's up to me whatever I wanna do. Which is sort of an ideal dealio as dealios go. Plus I don't have broadband costs.
I know its weirdish and clunky and annoying going someplace else to look at stuff. Thanks for sticking with me. It's just thru the end of the year.
Does that mean I won't do toons for this site anymore?
I will. This one batch of toons for Motherload will run weekly through the end of this year. Most of em will be around 2 minutes or so. So they'll be shorter than per usual. Not sure what they'll be about because I haven't thunk em up really yet. After I finish the batch then I'll happily go back to lazing around the site doing toons and new tmcs's or whatever or whatever here. And I'll have some breathing room dollarwise which will be a nice change. TMCS will return along with other toons totally.
Why can't I find your cartoons on their site?
Well the initial design over there is goobery-- so it's not you.
1. Go to www.comedycentral.com and click on anything that says Motherload.
2. Then when you get to that page you'll see a sign that says 'Enter Here'.
3. Once in there click the 'Originals' tab. It's in there. (Browse Originals button is below that to see all toons)
They're working to fix the slightly washed-out grainy look of the toons and all that. Kinda coolio to see em full screen tho!
Why can't I see the Motherload toons on my Mac?
I just found out about this after I agreed to do this for them. Apparently it's scarily pc friendly over there. Some mac users can see the toons. Some can't. It friggin totally upset and pissed me off to say the least when I found out. (Elf Up is on Mac fyi) Serious apologies to mac users. (Insert dickish remark about typical dopey corporate decisions that make no sense.) I'm checking into this and seeing what I can do. I didn't think, 'Can mac users use the site?' was a question I actually needed to ask in 2005! I've considering switching to mac at home too and might do so on principle now.
How come it doesn't load when I click on it?
It is brand new and I think it may be buggy for a while. But I know there's alot of talented hard working nerds over there doing their best to make things nice nice. We'll all have to be a bit patient till they knock the bugs out and mush em. Also it's clunky with Firefox. It needs a plug-in or something. It's typical dot-com stuff.
Why don't you just sell DVDs of your cartoons or something?
The music in the cartoons on my site are ummm... "pre-licensed". And I really would rather not rock the boat by making monay off stuff I don't have rights to because then the big lawyers come and pull my pants down and make me sit in front of the RoscoeCam while I eat oatmeal... or something.
What's up with the games?
MepWars and the others are still all in development and behind schedule of course. Mainly my fault because I gotta work up the pieces and do some more hand in hand stuff with stuff. But they'll get totally done when they be totally done! But it'll be a while. Sorry for the delay. I'm also gonna start soon something new with ae4rv.com!
Do you take advertising on your site?
I don't really. I've always tried to just stay away from it. I like the site as is and I don't like banners and popups and I don't like being responsible for recommending stuff I don't know anything about. That's why I just do Officials (still the best deal on the internet!)
