Alienating readers since 2007.
Last Update: November 17, 2008
Updates Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
THIS IS ME is an ongoing strip which has been running since June 2007. The comic updates three days a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays). Occasional delays are unavoidable.
Before you get any odd ideas: THIS IS ME is not meant to be taken literally.
The author and artist of THIS IS ME is a talentless hack and an old fart. It takes him endless hours to write and draw a single strip, yet they still look like something the cat dragged in.
My petty little excuse is that all the good Barack Obama jokes had already been done by The Onion.
Initial installments: Part 1, Part 2. More recently: Part 3.
The frontispiece is based on a semi-popular photographed of The Great American Hope himself. Couldn't resist temptation and all that.
I'm still not sure whether Beansprout's left hand really has to be visible in the fourth panel; the idea was to give the reader assurance regarding what happened to the remaining coins (he palmed them).
First off: There's not going to be a strip on Friday, I'm sorry to say. Unavoidable outage.
If you are an U.S. citizen and you see this before polls close on November 4: please vote – if only to be able to pout about the election results for the next four years.
If you remove yourself from the political process by not voting, it doesn't matter what you think of it. Your opinions may be extremely well thought-out, but they still won't matter. At all. Voting at least legitimizes you to moan about the state of things.
Please let me know how you like THIS IS ME! Criticism is also appreciated! It's mainly feedback that keeps me going. Please e-mail me at <me AT thisisme-comic DOT com> (replace AT and DOT with the respective characters).
