Some crazy/wonderful people are paying far too much for the current skyscraper ads. Please do me a favor and check them out. It's just a click of a mouse, and really helps support SMBC for the future.* * *Neat! Signed up a bunch of new people for the forum.A few people noted that a comic like SMBC doesn't really necessitate a forum , but I'm not entirely sure I agree. Bearing in mind that I'm biased from a business standpoint (forumgoers = loyal readers), I do believe that SMBC has the potential for a strong community. SMBC markets to an audience that is, I hope, funny, intelligent, and open to a broad range of humor.Additionally, SMBC comics do deal with real topics now and again. I've had a number of strips on religion, evolution, relationships, parents, etc. Of course, many are just ridiculous jokes, but I'd like to think at least a couple are worthy of a little chatter.I could also cite a number of comics that have healthy forums despite having comics that don't necessitate a lot of discussion. In fact, explosm.net is probably the best example of this.In any case, I'm definitely happy just having the comment board, but I sure wouldn't mind having a few more voices in the forum. Have a life concern? A controversial view? A crappy joke? Consider checking it out.* * *In other news, I'm running ads on the following sites currently:Also, starting Tuesday, I'll be running an add at Misfile.com These are all good strips worth checking out.So, first off, I wanted to say hi to all the new readers. I hope you enjoy the strip.Second, if you're looking to buy an ad with SMBC, right now you'll probably get a pretty ridiculously good CPM. Just sayin'.Thank you to everyone sending kind words and/or signing up for the forum.XOXOXOX,Zach
