Or rather the strip or the band?
In 2005 J. Jacques made this Questionale Content strip:
Homeless Hipsters
I was kidding around with a friend and said that wangsty Raphael of this strip was almost worse than Emo Hobocore. To which we replied double-u tee eff, and instead of searching through the archives for the strip I Googled it, and found this Urban Dictionary article
In this article they mention a band called Trashcan of Deception, who apparently started off in 2005.
I am wondering, are the two unrelated, or did one set off the other?
Who came first, the strip or the band?

I liek mudkips (or rather webcomics, whatever)
Of course I do like mudkips, but this post is supposed to be about the webcomics.
I can of couse drop a little mention that I at the moment have 199 Pokémons in my Crystal game. None of the mudkips, seeing as mudkips are third generation starters, but still. Only evolving and trading left. I have caught every single catchable Pokémon in the game. Do I rock or what^^,
My thanks go out to the Gachas, who with the kind gift of my Crystal game made this possible. Also I would like to thank L who is borrowing me her GameBoy Color, so that I kind do the single most geekiest thing a Pokémon geek can do, namely trading Pokémon with myself. Also I would like to thank all the people who gave me money for my 10th (I think) birthday, so that I could buy a GameBoy Color in the first place, and also a boy in my class in elementary school that borrowed me his Pokémon game, which started my Pokémon craze in the first place,
Thank you all. I am eternally grateful for all of you taking part in getting me to the place I am today. Which is having 199 Pokémon in my Pokédex.
Actually I have the complete 1st, 2nd and 4th generation. (I was too cool when the 3rd and the remake of the 1st came out.)
I actually have 19 Pokémon games. This of course include spin-offs. I have ALL the Pokémon games that came out for the GameBoy Color. Except Green, but that one was only release in Japan, and is basically Blue, but just in Japan.
I have not counted up how many games I am missing.
Anywho, this post was supposed to be about webcomics.
Message to L: This post is not the post you are looking for. (Until after your exam you are not allowed to read any further. Go study!)
These days I am reading the entire archives of Narbonic.
Which is fun. Not as fun as Girl Genuis. If you liked and/or got hooked to Weregeek, which I wrote about a long time ago, then you need to read Girl Genius. Not all that much alike, story wise, but very alike in feel, if you get what I mean. I would go so far as classify Girl Genius as a neon sugar prose-type webcomic.
Then we have Girls with slingshot which is a same type comics as Questionable Content and S*mething Positive, in the meaning that they are all about twenty-something (thirty-something in the case of S*mething positive, because the characters age in real-time and it has been going since late 2001. The archive might seem daunting, but it is SO worth it. I would throw my entire future plans out the window in a second if I got a job offer to work at Nerdrotica. No I am not kidding or hyperboling, I would. In a second seriously=D) people basically living life. I LOVE Hannelore. I want my very own Hannelore. She is so cute^^,
If you like Home on the Strange you need to read Ferret's new series My name is Might Have Been, which is about a post apocalyptic world where musicians a gods. It's really out there, and really god. King of Pops is the guy you go to to have him dig of the corpses of past musicians and have him peel their clothes of their decaying bodies so that you can wear them when you are on stage^^, Okey that sounded really graphic and gross, but it's not. You don't get to see, it's just so you get the feel. And the art is gorgeous.
Then there is Punch an' Pie, which is about the cutest (and craziest) character from Queen of Wands, namely Angela. She is adorable, bi, poly, short and CRAZY^^, It's written by Aerie who also wrote Queen of Wands, and the art is by Chris Daily, the mastermind behind Strip Tease. Which is not dirty. It's not a porn comic, I promise. My mom reads this blog, so I don't post porn links in here. I promise! Cross my heart and hope to live. It's about people making a comic^^,
Khaos Komix doesn't ever get graphic either, but narrowminded/homophobic/transphobic or basically any people who doesn't realize that any love, any love at all, is pure and beautiful, or people who don't realize that some people are simply born in the wrong body, they can all steer clear of this comic.
Are you how ever openminded, and realize that love is love no matter who it is directed at, and that is a pure and beautiful thing regardless, I recommend this Khaos Komix, because it's wonderful. Also I recommend the forums if you have gender/sexuality issues, and simply need to talk in place where noone judges, and everyone is included. If I get wind that anyone from here trolls that forum and make the people there hurt, so help me god I will hunt you down and castrate you with something very dull and very painful, no matter which sex you are you will not be able to spawn in any way when I am done with you. So DON'T TROLL!!!!'
And this last one is of course Devil's Panties which should be a staple in any bookmarks list, and which everyone should read. It's that great!

No more Something Positive *sniffles*
So, what I like to do is find a webcomic that has been running for a couple of years, and thus have a great big archive, and then I read the entire archive.
So Something Positive have updated just about daily since since the middle of 2001 I think. And I just finished the archive.
I have been reading it for a couple of months now.
It starts out really dark and depressing, because the artist-writer was in a real bad life situation, but it get a lot better about a year in, and now he lives off of the comic.
What I really like about it, is that one shot-characters and some of the really unlikeable characters get lasting parts in series, and become human.
Like Mike, or Kharisma, both of which were really nasty characters in the beginning now are really great characters. Mike has even joined the main cast=D
And you get really sad when characters die or get written out, because you really care about them.
One of the things I really like, is that the characters age. Their timeline follows the actual year, and if you go back and look at old strips you can see the characters have gotten visibly older, which I guess must be a hard thing to do, since just about no one else does this.
So you should really go read it!

Some comics just get life right on the nose
Why kitties are not allowed in the bathroom when I shower
This is an awesome webcomic BTW. And it's completed, so you don't have to wait for it to be updated, which face it, many webcomic artists aren't all that good at. (I love Devil's Panties also, Jennie Breeden updates every single day, with out fail. *sending hugles and happy energy in the direction of Jennie Breeden*)
I think I need to update my webcomic list. Some of them I don't read no more, but there's lots of new ones.
Anyyyyyyywho. That, right there (I assume by now you have clicked my link) is why I don't let my kitties into the bathroom when I shower. This one kitty I have, named Nøste (or Noeste for you in countries with 26 letters in their alphabets) loves the bathroom. It's her favorite room in the entire house.
It's just that she greatly fears the appliances which inhabits the bathroom. Like the washing machine. And, you guessed it, the dreaded instrument of ultimate doom, otherwise known as the shower. She will sneak will go through hell and fire to get into the bathroom and snuggle into whatever clothes she manages to claw out of the hamper, but the second the shower comes on she immediately goes into to a full fledged panic attack, screaming and clawing on the door until someone takes mercy on her and lets her out.XP
Ain't kitties cute? (and sometimes horrendously annoyingXD)

Music for rainy days
It's 20:57, the sky is a sicky dark orangy red sort of colour (gotta love that light pollution right?), and it's raining.
I got home about an hour ago and my shoes are still dripping (yes litteraly, Keds are not made for rainy weather) where they hang in the bathroom. Ditto with my jeans and umbrella.
But I have youtube and webcomcis. And I haven't updated in forever. So here's some music for rainy days. Right after this link to the cutest webcomic ever. Questionable content. You all need to read the archives. It's only 1507 pages, and the art gets better after a while. As does the storytelling^^,
EDIT: Broken link fixed
Now for teh MUZAK:
All the clips with the original footage had disable embedding by request, so this is the best I could do. Sorry.
It features Sarah Brightman and Alex Vega from the Spykids movies. It's from the gothic splatter musical Repo! the Genetic Opera.
This is Koda Kumi, a new discovery of mine. Fun video as well
Most beauiful song ever. If I ever get around to getting good at 3D animating I'm making a video for this one. I've had the storyboard in my head for almost a year now.
Can't be bothered locating the way superior Manu Chau version of this, so you'll just have to make do^^,
And for last I'm gonna show you some of the most amazing pole dancing I have ever seen. Try tto look past the fact that it's a half naked chick. The women dancing hanging from veils at the circus wear no more clothes than this, but for some reason that is socially acceptable. Try to see the amazing things she gets her body to do please^^,
(besides the song is awesome)
EDIT:
How stupid of me. I almost forgot the theme song to the most awesome after school cartoon EVAH XD
And while I'm at it:
Oh and:
Hammer me please, Dr. Horrible. Making googoo eyes at Dr Horrible.
To lazy to find one with footageXP
Purdiest version EVER^^,
I'm gonna stop now. Will try to resist the temptation to add more.
I'm so gonna use this post as play listXD Hoping some of you will do that as well^^,

I found, I found
Haunted Island by ~TomPreston on deviantART
I found this really cool comic artist on DA. Or rather, he got a DD and I went to look at his site, and he had tons of cool stuff.
The poor man keeps getting DDs for the wrong stuff thou, for his fan art and the work he doesn't think is the best himself. So I'm doing a feature blog to feature the art I like=D
The above strip is from a pirate comic he does, and I want one bad. I can't really figure out his site, so I'm not sure if he does it online, but you can buy it on Amazon. And I really want it. The Adventures of Alex Ze Pirate
And then he does this series:
Welcome to the Jungle by ~TomPreston on deviantART
Which seems so funny. I want that on too: Formera Volume 1
Formera Volume Two
I would not be displease if you bought them for meXP
He also does great fan-art=D
Easter Bunnies by ~TomPreston on deviantART
Aren't they cute.
You should all totally click on images and go to his DeviantArt account=D=D You're in for a treat if you do=D=D

Con artist coming my way^^,
I am so exited right now. I got a membership for FuzzAcademy from Tante Slem for my birthday, and then the site went down for reworking and decided to give us Premium member refunds.
Which I used to buy Con Artists. This wonderful volume collects all the comic strips ever made featuring the Pirate, even some not found online.
If you are now wondering who the Pirate is you need to read Jennie Breeden's webcomic "Devil's Panties". (It's not satanic porn. Promise^^,) It's one of the most awesome webcomics there is, and the amazing Jen updates every single day, sometimes even with two strips. You should read the "what not to say in the bedroom"-strips, pure genius^^,
Anywho, the Pirate is the most awesome character in this comic full of awesome^^, Oh! and Jesus. In the very earliest strips she has conversations with Jesus, and he is so awesome=D
In a couple of weeks it will land nicely in my mailbox, and I will get to read all the strips. *jumps up and down in exitement*

Twilight, Wrong Customers and WereGeeks^^,
So... I finished Twilight. And before I go on talking about it you need to read these two stripes:
Sarah loves Twilight
and the reason why Sarah loves Twilight.
So there you have it peeps. Bad fanfic is an acquired taste. I love bad fanfic, it's hilarious. And how can you not adore the sparkly vampires? I mean: they sparkle. As if their skin was (and I quote) embedded with millions of tiny diamonds! *squeal*
Okey, so it's the biggest piece of Mary Sue literature in the entire world. But it's fun, and stupid, and... fun. So yah, I think I like it. So there.
There's lots and lots of things wrong with it: Like the fact that he spends his nights watching her while she sleeps, and the fact that she doesn't see how utterly creeptastic that is.
But I like it. So there!XD
In other news: I found the coolest website: The Customer is not Always Right.
It's a site with stupid customer Quotes basically. Real time muncher. Love it^^,
About the stripes I have linked to earlier in the post. They are from a great webcomic called WereGeek.
Normal people by day, geeky gamers by night. It too is really much fun.^^, Start at the beginning.XD

About hookers and drugaddicts
This little comic brought me back to my childhood big time.
You see my mom is a quilter, and has been for as long as I can remember. Now the words for fabric and drugs are the same in Norwegian (stoff), and I am sure any Norwegian quilter has at some point humorously referred to themselves as addicted to fabric, or as most nonquilters would perceive it as: drugaddicts. You can imagine the look of sheer horror on the faces of grownups when a wide eyed, innocent eight year old answers the question "so what does your mom do?" with: "My mom doesn't work, she's a fabricaddict (or as they would interpret it: drugaddict". Hilarious. And then the look of sudden relieve when I explained that she was addicted to quiltingfabrics. >_<>.< style="font-style: italic;"> kakebuton - quilt, comforter

The English Roses. (Or silk ones anyway)
Still packing. And I have now gotten to the toiletries, and I just had to snap a picture. A lady travels heavy, doesn't she? I am so glad I have the gigantic toiletry purse my mom made me. I was able to fit everything in, except the makeup, but them again I didn't try. Imagine trying to find a teeny little eyeshadow box at the bottom of that huge thingXP Decided I didn't care to try. Especially considering I we will try to be at the concert hall as early as possible to try to get a spot near the stage, so I will be in a hurry. We will be leaving on Friday. I can feel the travel nerves building already... I will spend tomorrow cleaning and doing the rest of the packing. In my wonderful Gothic & Lolita Bible there was a nice little recipe on how to make silk roses. My first two tries didn't turn out all that well, but the
third one is purdy^^, That would be the black one in case you couldn't tell >.<>.< style="font-style: italic;">bara - rose
