Welp, Let’s Try This Again




Posted at 20:51 by Gavin M.

Ace cleaned up his sucky banner, although we noticed immediately that the work was done by some unknown Ace henchman and not ourselves, because it:

A) Failed to incorporate any of the added ruling awesomeness.

B) Is bad.

Sigh. Let’s clean it up again. That’s what Ace is always thanking us for, after all.

Above: still some wonky lines and corners here and there. Also, it lacks that
distinctive ‘Ace’ quality which is so ephemeral yet crucial.

    This whole series is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in the blogosphere in a while.

    That banner isn’t awesome at all!

    We’re back to square one.

    Some people just don’t want to improve themselves. To the best of my knowledge, Gavin is only one man and can’t be expected to save the internets by himself.

    I doubt Ace has the brain skillz to learn Photoshop. How lucky he is to have you!

    I tried to save the internets once. And I failed. Not even spectacularly. I heart S,N!

    How the Hell are you going to save the Internets when you couldn’t even save me?

    Someone just waved the photoshop “smudge” tool around and called it a new logo.

    Dude. Gavin.

    Credit where credit is due, OK?

    Ach, you’re right. I changed it.

    The smudge tool is sort of the 5-minute solution there. The burn, dodge and blur tools are the way to go…

    Bada-bing, mikey!

    I’m having oodles of fun filling in the blanks: “Every normal m– . . . gerbil up his ACE O”

    Come to think of it, not much blank-filling is really required. Um. So to speak.

    “gerbils?”

    Look, I’m don’t want to step on any toes, and I’m certainly not in Gavin’s league, but I did make one little change to Ace’s logo

    The lyrics’d need to be slightly altered. Did I really read that much Mad that I should want to do this?

    I can while away the hours
    Conferrin’ ’bout the Towers
    Crankily insane
    Through my ears the wind will whistle
    As I jerk off to a missile
    That’s until I get a brain.

    About the East, near the Middle
    I’m so frightened that I piddle
    In trouble and in pain

    With the thoughts that you are thinkin’
    You could keep Titanic sinkin’,
    That’s until you get a brain.

    Oh, I can tell you why
    Something something something boy I like a war,
    I can think the thinks my friends all know for shore
    And then I’ll write, and write some more!

    I’m content to just be rube-ish
    With my newest logo n00bish
    While we circle down the drain.
    I will fiddle and be merry
    With some jokes as fine as Kerry
    That’s until I get a brain–Whoa!

    That is perfect just as it is. It really does seem to duplicate the war rationale: something, something, blow shit up!!!111!!

    And pirates are neocons, and they’re cool.

    No, mom, I didn’t cut the grass yet. Could you get off my case?

    I thought that money line was
    Through my ears the wind will whistle

    this is neither well designed or particularly funny, but a comment upthread got me inspired to contribute.

    You know, if they ever find gerbil up the ass, I hope it’s up a straight man’s ass.

    Obviously, your sense of humor is so highly evolved that it surpasses that of mere mortals.
    I’ve seen funnier “Hagar” comic strips.
