Mocha Sharpie?!

Yesterday, I was satisfying my office supply craving at a Big Box Retailer, and I wandered over to their display of Sharpies. I’m still well-stocked, especially since making the switch to the tablet, but it’s always nice to doodle on the test pages.

Anyway, imagine my surprise when I saw a new Sharpie color: Mocha Sharpie! If I ever become sophisticated enough to make jokes that aren’t just illustrated puns, I’ll have to indulge in a Mocha Sharpie.

I took a very poor-quality picture comparing black, mocha, and brown. To see it, hop over to the flickr page: Mocha Sharpie.

In other news, welcome to the neatorama and Stumble Upon visitors that have been pouring in lately. You may also have noticed that Brown Sharpie is indeed one of the comics over at Is It Funny Today?, so, you know, go rate some comics already.

I have a couple of multimedia projects in the works that relate (tangentially) to Brown Sharpie. If anyone has some video-editing chops they would like to donate, let me know! I’m also looking for some funny people to collaborate on a magical mystery blog… And, if you have some ideas for things you’d like to see (Android/iPhone app, eCards, T-shirts, more facebook goodness, etc.), let me know! I have a few weeks during which I can tackle some small projects.

Meanwhile, thanks for reading–and stay tuned for some new types of updates in the near (plus or minus epsilon) future.

Shameless! Buy a T-shirt!

Hi kids! Due to overwhelming requests, I have made the “You haven’t earned the right!” comic into a t-shirt. Wear with pride: Men’s T-shirt and Women’s Fitted T-shirt.

(Non-organic versions for the light of wallet: men’s and women’s)

Don’t forget to see some of the other merchandise, including my personal favorite: “Don’t kick my puppy” notecards. Wish you had some object with one of the comics on it? Don’t hesitate to let me know which object and which comic in the comments, or on facebook, or via twitter (tweet @virtualcourtney), or by stopping by my office and telling me in person.

A further note: I’ll be studying for one of my comprehensive exams this month, so please understand if comics are late or less funny (more cofunny?) than usual.

Public Service Announcement

don't be mean Every time you leave a mean comment on the internet, a variable gets accidentally reused in a proof. This leads to much confusion and dismay, not to mention a very troubled indeterminate who will need someone to pay for his or her visits to Sigma Freud.

Seriously–if you don’t have anything nice to say, you’re wasting your time and your fingers’ stamina. I delete mean comments, so only you and I have will ever have the pleasure of reading your well-composed, original, and wryly insightful insults.

Happy Halloween?

A message from Courtney’s husband:

“This year, I dressed up my wife’s browns sharpies. I gave them all different colored caps and flung them in the cup with the other colors.

When she couldn’t find a single brown sharpie–

I just laughed and laughed.”

Updates resume as normal on Monday. Nuptials may not. ;)

Contest Winner

Wow! I didn’t think so many people would guess!

The winner is Arkham, who guessed 4324. The actual number of visitors was 4205.

(I’d have thought a few more of you would have gone with 4200 in honor of Douglas Adams!)

I also decided since so many of you played the game, I’d pick a second winner–this winner was chosen by Random.org, who picked a random integer between 1 and 36. Congratulations, vegeta, for being 32nd to comment!
