JerkCity 2.0 is coming!!!
2001-11-01 03:03:25
The alien! The flower! The beatnik! All your favorite characters from the daily web comic JerkCity are still going strong. But now JerkCity 2.0 is on its way!
What is JerkCity 2.0? Er, I don't know. Maybe it's longer. I mean, it looks longer from the beta version they put up on the web. Or maybe it's all just a big put-on.
But either way, JerkCity has a bunch of fans here at Pigdog Journal. Mr. Bad and Tjames even interviewed the authors on IRC -- as you can see from this wacky cartoon-style multi-part interview thing -- asking the tough Pigdog-style questions about the comic's connection to Microsoft Chat.
JerkCity! JerkCity! If you haven't been reading it in a while, this is a good time to get ready for something new. And if you're a new reader, well, check it out!

C L A S S I C P I G D O G
It’s election night. My wife and I are holed-up in this hotel that my political party has rented out for the evening. Outside, people are being violently beaten for whom they voted for. Is this South Africa? Perhaps we’re in Haiti or some Southern state during the 60’s. Of all the places where this sort of thing happens, it’s mind-boggling that we are in Portland, Maine. (More...)
The IBM Selectric Typewriter Changed My Life
I ran my hands lovingly across her frame, lightly brushing her metallic nipples with my fingers, admiring the shapes and the ways of her curves, the empathetic hum she produced as I had my way with her, the way she made it all seem so effortless and right... she didn't even seem to mind the way I roughly manipulated her knobs and tweaked her casing. She was extremely tolerant, for a typewriter. (More...)
