IUG posted:And as someone's mentioned, it was 1 click to see Trickster Jane, 11 to see Jake, 111 to see Roxy, 1111 will probably be Dirk 1111 clicks would be beyond obnoxious and this might be the only thing that could make me wish Dirk would be left untrickstered. I would accept 1111 in binary, though. (That's just 15 in decimal.)

I... I bought it too. With the Dave autograph.  Oh well, after the apocalypse when all trade is barter this book will be worth more than gold. Worth more than bitcoins, even.

Roxy is going to produce a machine gun and shoot Dirk with 1111 bullets on full auto.

I'm just really having a hard time getting a mental image of what a Trickster Dirk would act like.

I bought it too but with a Hussie autograph because I am at least not wholly irresponsible with my money, or at least I like to think so. Got round to buying the last two problem sleuth books and a ~MYSTERY SHIRT~ too while I was at it.

Hahaha, I feel sorry for anyone who made "I will make more responsible financial decisions" as their new year's resolution. Especially if they ever have to explain to anyone why they spent an extra fifty on the promise of a signature from a fictional character. (I'm not going to lie, I'm considering it.  )

I'm torn. On the one hand, this is amazing. On the other hand, I just don't have the income to justify dropping 44 bucks on a collection ironically 'bad' art.

Looks like the book has author's commentary from Dave. I kind of want the book just for that.

The luxury ribone bookmark is the best part.  Well, that and maybe the text on the spine of the book.

Ahaha, Topatoco already fell apart again. No matter how many times they upgrade their infrastructure, this happens with every mspa book launch. It's great. Glad I didn't hesitate. edit: More info for those deciding:  edit2: Oh, and the guy who made the cover put up a wallpaper of it, for those who want it: http://www.dumbgarbage.com/img/sbahj%20wallpaper.jpg Bobulus fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Jan 21, 2013 |

Hussie knows how to sell poo poo. Make it good. Or in this case, just bad enough to be worth calling good. EDIT: Also, totally worth it.

Haha look at that book. I would buy that book, with the autograph that is more expensive that the rest of the thing. I would leave that book laying out and stand around near it and be like, man get a load of my opulence. The ribbon is three feet long. Jesus Christ.

I might almost be tempted if Topatoco didn't charge $30+ for "we won't stamp on it too much unless we feel like it"-quality shipping to anywhere outside the US. And then there's possibly 20% VAT on top of that. Why does Hussie use them?

pumpinglemma posted:Why does Hussie use them? Because Topatco is one of the few publishing dealies that actually are orientated towards comics makers making money off of it, rather than the publisher taking advantage of them? It's ran almost entirely by webcomics people.

Just in case y'all missed it, Hussie put up the press release on account of breaking the gently caress out of Topatoco. Again.

The printers' agent sits down at his desk across from Rowland. "Jeff, there's... a problem with your book." Rowland glances over the list of errors he's just been handed then shakes his head. "Nah, that's all correct." The agent stares at him for a second and says, with a note of hysteria "No you don't understand, there's a problem with your book."

I've heard of terrible products being purchased for ironic purpose but I'm hard-pressed to think of as many things being sold for ironic purposes.

Someday SBaHJ will be viewed as a cornerstone of 21st century literature. It may even become the book of scripture for a new religion, like that star trek cult from futurama.

My favorite part is the "Sweet Bro and Helpful Jeff" on the spine. I wonder if they have any misprints and will be deliberately including them in outgoing shipments.

Sorry if I missed it, but is the signature a limited time thing or something? Or does anyone even know.

If you're doing it right you'll buy it for $44 then add Dave's signature yourself (possibly on every page?). edit: Of course you'd have to charge yourself $50, but it'd be worth it.

The less people who get it signed, the more rare the signatures will be! think of the value approximately 50 dollars
