Is it any surprise that the two nerds talking about nerdy things on a couch has been done before and better?</li> <li><b><a href=http://www.questionablecontent.net/>Questionable Content</a></b>. I had been reading a few webcomics before I came across this one, but this is the one that pulled me in so completely. Let's say I related to the whole 'went to school for music' and 'works in a cafe' and 'clearly meant to represent Hampshire College.'</a></li> <li><b><a href=http://www.asofterworld.com>A Softer World</a></b>. I didn't even think about taking pictures for comics before I saw this. When I first got the idea of making a webcomic, I actually tried to draw something. I'm terrible at drawing. These guys changed the outcome of this comic so completely that it's hard to imagine where we would be without them.</li> </ul> <BR><BR> Tune in Friday for our final comic. <BR><BR> Love, <br>Mike!<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/twwm?a=DRh9fd5SIOE:rlaEHMQCS88:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/twwm?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/twwm?a=DRh9fd5SIOE:rlaEHMQCS88:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/twwm?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div> Wed, 13 Jul 2011 05:58:43 -0700 RSSPECT-001369012 http://www.worldwasntmeant.com/comic.php?i=371 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/twwm/~3/o2xArCAvF6Y/comic.php <img src="http://www.worldwasntmeant.com/comics/2011-07-11.jpg" title="Then they watched Blues Brothers 83 times in a row." alt="This is the End, Part 1" /> <br /> <p class="newsDate">Latest News: 07/11/2011</p>Hello Readers, <br><br> As some of you may have read, <a href= http://worldwasntmeant.com/comic.php?i=370>this is our last Monday update</a>. <BR><BR> This is something we haven't really been informing people of on the internet so I'll do it now... <BR><BR> <ul> <li><b>Peter is moving to Chicago</b>. He was accepted at Northwestern for their Astrophysics PhD program, so he is leaving the East Coast. Some of us wish him well. We all hope he comes back alive.</li> <li><b>Jackie and I are living together</b>. Surprise! I haven't been living in the same apartment as Peter for the past month. I still have a bunch of my stuff there, but you may notice we haven't seen anything in my bedroom or the small study recently. They're both empty, or at least filled with junk.</li> <li><b>We want a new challenge</b>. We started making this comic because I convinced all my friends it would be worth their time, energy, and some of their money now and again to act, or at least model, for this narrative thing we do. We've gotten better at Photoshop, I've gotten better at writing, and we're going to do something new. I don't want to give anything away, but we will keep all those interested up-to-date with a newsletter or something. You can't sign up yet, but you will be able to do so soon.</li> </ul> <BR><BR> So that's the deal. The World Wasn't Meant will be ending this Friday, July 15. We've had our ups and downs, we've had triumphs and failures, we've made classic jokes and crappy filler comics. We love everyone who has read this and will continue to read our future endeavors. <BR><BR> Over the next few days, I may write my thoughts on the comics that have influenced and inspired me, and I'll encourage these other losers to do the same. <BR><BR> Love, <br>Mike!<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/twwm?a=o2xArCAvF6Y:A3Pht10TMZM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/twwm?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/twwm?a=o2xArCAvF6Y:A3Pht10TMZM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/twwm?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div> Mon, 11 Jul 2011 23:26:50 -0700 RSSPECT-001366428 http://www.worldwasntmeant.com/comic.php?i=370 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/twwm/~3/j6SvqNoDhVQ/comic.php <img src="http://www.worldwasntmeant.com/comics/2011-07-08.jpg" title="No matter where you are, Brian is ALWAYS directly behind you." alt="Pack it Up" /> <br /> <p class="newsDate">Latest News: 07/08/2011</p>Hello Readers, <br><br> This may come as a surprise to some of you, but next week will be <a href= http://worldwasntmeant.com/comic.php?i=369>the last week of The World Wasn't Meant</a>.
