i should stop saying i’ll write in here more regularly, it never happens. :d anyway, i’ve collected some, uh, ‘interesting’ ways that people have found this website, and listed them here for your perusal.

this image is quite possibly the biggest draw to the site, just due to its absurd popularity via Google. it’s the first result for “imma chargin muh lazer”, both on normal and image search, and on the sixth page of image results for ’shoop da whoop’.

someone in the Australian military also apparently reads my comic, because lately i’ve been getting hits from a training page on a government defence site :D

and now some keyword searches, categorized first by awesomeness…

• le artist
• offensive humour
• pantcakes
• generic person
• omnomnom

…and then by strangeness.

• 7jnl6 problems (huh?)
• onlinecosmic.com scam (i swear i don’t know what this is about)
• best way to suffocate yourself (@_@)
• mill feasco (…Engrish MCF?)

*num num num*

i’ve collected some interesting links over the last few days that seem worth sharing. :)

• Photoshop Disasters is a blog that is exactly what it sounds like- a collection of disastrous Photoshop work that somehow made its way into the media. sure, nobody’s perfect, but God knows what these people were smoking.
• Fail Blog is similar to the above, but with pictures of epic fail of all sorts. good for a laugh :)
• Jumping on Sleepy, the cutest emoticon ever by Shicken05. i wake Cove up now by bouncing on him and saying ‘i’m jumping on sleepy!’ ^.^
• Phone Sheep - sheep sculptures made of old telephones!
• Solar Sculpture - another sculpture, but this one is a solar-powered light display programmable by anyone.

is anyone still reading this? i know i don’t update as much as i should, but i’ll try to fix that. :)

Cove and i have been busy the last few days with a ‘cooking weekend’. i baked an apple crisp and perfected a fruit smoothie recipe (plenty of strawberry, a bit of kiwi, some mango and raspberry, with berry V8 juice and pineapple juice- delicious!) Cove decided to make ‘epic soup’, so we have a gigantic stock pot full of chicken&vegetable soup in our fridge now… but it tastes good and is ridiculously healthy. he also started making a cheesecake, but we’ll have to finish that tonight ^_^

we’re also enjoying the beautiful summer weather, which i think Cove in particular is grateful for- Canadian winters aren’t kind to Australians. it’s warm enough to have picnics and go for walks now, everything is blooming, and my parents’ pool is warming up slowly but surely.

in between all that, i’ve been doing some work on the comic site, which is of course what all of you care about. ^_~ my list of things to do is gradually shrinking, but there’s plenty left. here’s a quick summary (edited as things get finished):

• installing a shoutbox on the main page
• adding an EntreCard widget (drop your card if you’re a member!)
• new cast pictures and more character bios
• editing the FAQ (plus other tiny nitpicky things)
• reorganizing the links page and adding more links
• updating the scraps section (banners and new wallpaper)
• setting up advertising (woo, i’m on Project Wonderful! thanks Cove!)
• adding navigation buttons below the comic
• set up an RSS feed
• set up with ohnorobot.com
• standardize size of early comics
• put together a promotional pack? (banners, buttons, etc.)
• creating a page for fan art? (this might go in scraps)
• MAYBE SOMETHING IN THE STORE?!

the last two are where YOU, my loyal occasional fans readers, come in. 1) i would be absolutely delighted if you sent me fan art! i might even post it as a daily update, and if you have a comic or website of sorts, i’d be sure to link to you. ^.^

2) what are your guys’ opinions on MCF merch? would anyone buy any? i’m thinking about starting small with fridge magnets and maybe making shirts if there’s interest. i’d also like to know what people would like to see on merch- favourite characters, strips, etc. there’s a few existing shirt designs that had an extremely limited print run (ie, one each) that i could put up, and i have some other ideas, but ultimately it depends on what readers want.

so if you want to contact me about either of the above things, or just want to share your opinion on anything else about the comic, there’s plenty of ways- commenting on the blog, in the shoutbox on the main page, on deviantArt, or eMailing me at rei [at] millcityfiasco.com. srsly, i’m not scary and i’d love to hear from you. ^_^

 i’ll probably make a comic soon that explains this.

i’m on a promotion kick for Mill City Fiasco lately, so i’m just putting the whole lot into one post. if you use any of these sites, it’d be great if you could add MCF (and i’ll love you forever <3)

also, banners!

it took me ages, but i finally got around to putting up the second French comic. you can read it here, or it’s in the scraps section of the main site if you feel like being roundabout.

for those of you who are at all interested but missed my ecstatic raving elsewhere/previous in the blog, Cove’s real-life counterpart (my boyfriend, site wizard, resident Aussie, etc.) arrived in Canada last week to live with me. i am pleased to report things are going most excellently. madness has ensued. :D

(Sparta has also ensued.)

if you appreciate the more offensive side of MCF, i assure you you’re going to -love- Achmed the dead terrorist. i’ve concluded Jeff Dunham is a fantastic ventriloquist and comedian. check it out here.
