Worst Interview on the Web

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

The Worst Icon on the Web

Check me out being interviewed on the inaugural episode of The Worst Show on the Web, a web radio show hosted by none other than JEFbot webcomic alum and good friend of mine, Kurtis Bedford (aka K-Bed). The interview starts as a fun Q&A about my experience doing the Wil Wheaton arc in JEFbot, but quickly devolves into the hosts accusing me of being Wil’s stalker. I kind of deserve that after creating a storyline hating on Wil, but “it’s all in good fun” so check it out! 

To hear the interview click here, then click on the mic at the bottom left of the home page to get to the show’s blogtalkradio site. I’m on the first show, titled, “Grand Opening” and appear near the 23 minute mark, in case you’d like to jump past (or to?) what the worst of the web has to offer.

Interview on Just Another Game Site

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

just another game site logoI was on the phone recently for an interview with Bryan Mashinter of Just Another Game Site. Check out the transcription of it by clicking here: justanothergamesite.com.

Videogames have been a huge part of my life since I first discovered an old Pong-playing console in a closet of my parent’s house when I was a kid. As you can surmise from many a strip, they still play a big part. So when Bryan contacted me about possibly doing an interview for his site, I jumped at the chance. What ensued was an epic, 2 hour conversation about videogames and the JEFbot webcomic, which Bryan has thankfully distilled into more manageable chunks, the first part of which can be found here.

If you’re a videogame fan (I know there are a lot of you readers who are), bookmark the Just Another Game Site. In addition to Bryan, whose reviews I’ve found I can trust, it also has a very enthusiastic staff posting reviews, comments and opinions about videogames, and I think you’ll enjoy it.

Win This RAD JEFBOT Tee! (UPDATE: Contest Over)

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

JEFBOT_Kick Ass Tee

The contest is officially over! Names are being extracted, tabulated and dropped into hats as we speak. I’ll be posting the results here during the first week of December after contacting the winners. Thanks to everybody who entered!

Edit: Extending the contest through Saturday, November 29, due to all the craziness surrounding Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

The new JEFbot t-shirt is almost here! But first I’m having this contest to give a few of them away as a “thank you” to you readers. This time, there are three chances to get into the drawing for these sweet, luxurious tees. Check ‘em out:

Chance #1: This one’s easy. Just shoot me an email letting me know the number or title of your favorite JEFbot strip. If you can’t name one off the top of your head, check out the archives, find one you like, and email me. Simple.

Chance #2: You have to be on the JEFbot e-mailing list to find out what to do for this one. If you aren’t on the mailing list already, it’s not too late. Just email me and I’ll put you on the list and instructions will follow when the next email goes out. Pretty simple.

Chance #3: MOMBOT’s Bonus Round: As in the last contest, my mom’s generously donating a shirt for an extra chance for someone to win a tee. Since the symbol on mombot’s character is a dragonfly, find the dragonfly (and not the one on her shirt, for reals) hidden in one of the strips mombot appears in (you’ll know it when you see it). Then email me with the strip number or title. A little harder, but there’s a way to keep this simple too, if you put your mind to it.

So that’s it! You have three chances to win (please submit only a single entry per “chance,” though), so do one, two or all three. The contest starts today and goes through next Friday, November 28, 2008 Saturday, November 29, 2008. After that, I’ll be putting names in hats and someone trustworthy will draw out the winners, who will be announced soon after.

Let the contest begin… NOW! Good luck, everybody!!!

Oh, and if you want to just buy a shirt, I’ll start doing pre-orders once these festivities are over.

And the Winners Are…

Friday, December 12th, 2008

Congrats to the winners of the FREE RAD JEFBOT T-SHIRT CONTEST! And a huge ”thank you” to everybody who participated. The amount of people who entered this contest outnumbered all the people who entered the last two contests combined! Needless to say, it was very gratifying, and a lot of fun for me, to go through the mail each day and see all the new people who entered. Thanks for giving me that thrill.

And without further ado, the following people will be getting a very comfortable, very stylish, brand new, RAD JEFBOT TEE:

Favorite JEFbot Strip: Shan M, Ottawa, Canada
(our sole repeat winner from the #50 contest), picking as her favorite strip, JEFBOT.89_The Best-Laid Plans.

Mailing List Peeps Only: Jesse N, Cincinnati, OH
picking as his favorite deodorant (and one I can wholeheartedly recommend), Reich Gärt!

Mombot’s Bonus Round: Danielle T
found the dragonfly in the correct strip, JEFBOT.86_Jewel of Denial (it’s not there anymore, but here’s what it looked like).

Mombot’s Bonus Round, Round 2:  jhorsley3, Poulsbo, WA, was picked randomly when (just like the last contest) my mom got carried away and donated a second shirt to the contest. jhorsley3 picked as his favorite strip, JEFBOT.60_The Killing Joke

And just for kicks, I tallied up all the votes sent in for Favorite JEFbot Strip and thought I’d share the results with you.  The results were all over the board, with strips as random as The Styling Cap and Hamster God getting multiple votes and predictable favorites such as The Angry Scarf, Brain Aged and Wil Power getting a lot of votes too, but barely making it into the top 10. But after all the votes were tallied, I was surprised when these two tied for the win:

FAVORITE STRIP - TIE:
1.) #60_The Killing Joke  & #69_Job Hunting

RUNNERS-UP:
2.) #24 The Christmas Bat
3.) #80 What Sexy Isn’t
4.) #42 Guitar Hubris
5.) #32 Strike’s End
6.) #48 The Sleeping Sickness

The best part about this was how so many of you included notes with your submission, letting me know the reason(s) why you picked a particular strip. Some really cool stories were in there, giving me some insight into how some of you relate to different strips in (vastly) different ways.

Lastly, the readers on the mailing list were tasked with naming their favorite deodorant. Here’s how it shook out:

FAVORITE DEODORANT, BY A LANDSLIDE:
1.) Reich Gärt (I was tickled that so many of you voted for this. The huge response indicates I should create a line of fake German cologne/deodorants!)

RUNNERS-UP
2.) Old Spice (High Endurance, Showtime, Sport)
3.) Secret (Clinical Strength, Platinum)

So that wraps it up! Thanks again to everybody who participated - you all made this contest a great success. Can’t wait for the next one! Oh, and if you want to buy one of the new shirts, click here.

Schuetze Family Christmas Card 2008

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

I’ve been making a Schuetze Family Christmas Card for the past several years now for my mom, who sends them out to friends and family. I used to Photoshop our faces onto cartoon bodies or into various Christmas scenes, but for the past couple of years, I’ve been using everybody’s JEFbot counterparts for the card. Check out this year’s below. Hope you all had a great time celebrating Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, or any other tradition you hold dear!
