Legitimacy!! (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/11/02/weekly-webcomic-wrapup-is-still-wearing-a-costume/)

Hey guys. It looks like my constant whining has paid off, and Dipswitch is finally a part of the Weekly Webcomic Wrapup. This is a chance for the PiRi Community to show its allegiance to the number 124,654th rated Webcomic!

Let's shoot for 124,653!

Kidding...Anyways, it's awesome that they put us up there. I don't know if they picked my best stuff. I thought it was funny.

It's weird how people think the guy drawing the comic is the guy in the comic. I'm pretty sure Jim Davis isn't a fat orange cat.

I think it is more the webcomic stuff like:

Penny Arcade
PvP
Cntl-Alt-Delete
etc.

Where each one actually has the person drawing or writing in the comic whether they look like the actual person or not.

Congrats! It's well deserved, you're comics have been great.

Edit: out of all of the comics this week, only yours and PAs made me laugh. Sadly I think popularity has a lot to do with this poll but you're still doing pretty good!

Congrats man. Like others I have really been enjoying your webcomic.

Gotta say, it feels pretty good. So it's looking like I'm not going to be dead last, which is nice. People seem to think I'm Denny, for some reason. I don't know why they wouldn't assume I'm Dipswitch or Vic. Or Jack Thompson.

My response to Dead Space was influenced a great deal by the great atmosphere in the game, and seeing what they were trying to do. And the first time the tentacle snatched me up in the first 'overgrown' corridor in the food processing location, did make me jump. I think the point was more of a character thing with Den, who's a spaz, than my personal take on the game.

My idols of webcomicdom are Gabe and Tycho. Specifically for the fact that the progression and evolution of art style is a true inspiration to guys trying this for the first time.

All the people who voted for me, thanks. And I got a great compliment from a guy in my office...'I thought your Dead Space comic was funnier than PA's'. To which I replied, 'You really don't have to lie, you know. I'm a big boy.'

The man's name is witheld, but I'll call him 'Archimedes' as a code name, so he'll know who I'm talking about.

Upcoming comics will deal with Fallout 3 and Fable 2.

Any time the comic is showing an in-game character, you can safely assume that's my opinion of the game. What sucks is, I don't have time to write reviews this month, as I'm doing NaNoWriMo as well. :(

But thanks for all the votes! WE ARE LEGIT! :)
