Sadly, I never have actually been involved in a “real” food fight. Can you believe that? Anyone have a good food fight story? Am I not alone in thinking this may one of those elusive events that seems typical but never really happens?
The best I can scrounge up was a whipped cream/shaving cream war after 8th grade graduation. But I don't think that counts, not in the classic way. Was still messy (and sticky) as hell though.
In other Z&F Production news that you probably don't give a rat's @$$ about.. I'm going back to my tablet for inking. As much as I feel guilty ditching the classic fountain pen I used to love so much, I have actually been spoiled with the tablet and find I get better control. Imagine that. Yay technology.
Thanks everyone for your dedicated readership. So great to see you all come back each time. Although, my page views SUCK lately, anyone else seeing the same thing? Probably the website redesign deterred some people away.
antcomics: apparently, mine. B-O-R-I-N-G. I feel deprived now.
heymelby: why thank you! I did seem to get a big response on this one ;0) Thanks people!!!
maninblack: thanks for da 5!
dantheman: *nods*
Indias: I love how you put that- "an explosion of food", exactly how I imagine it. What a dumb way to get kids to confess.... yeah, suuuuuure.
No_Parking: hells yeah!
worstcase: aww, geez. a detention? there are worse things a kid can do....
MoonDawg: hello new comment-er! What crazy things schools ban these days. And I couldn't agree more- who DOESN'T like free cake!???
mm... cake.... *stomach growls*
Our school has banned bringing cakes and other birthday treats because they turn into missiles thrown by foolish children.
My classroom has become an "underground railroad" for baked goods brought by responsible students.
What can I say?
I love free cake.
Hee, I was in a food fight in eighth grade once. It was over really quickly--an explosion of food that lasted for about ten seconds--and then the teachers started screaming and we stopped. And it was actually really funny because for weeks afterwards there was a list on the principal's door that said "if you sign this and say what you threw, you want get in trouble." Hee. Guess who didn't sign the page!
Crispy: thanks man, I'm glad you like my coloring, it'll be a shame when I go back to B&W.. but hey, 5 Z&F's a week! That'll help my stats as well. Good to know that you are "here" even if you don't comment ;0)
NYJ: The tablet is a lifesaver! I find myself trying to edit-undo myself when I use a fountain pen, LOL
Brock: thanks, yep- that last panel kicked my ass. Took way longer than I thought. If a DD user could choose to keep their favorites tab OPEN, that'd be a great start! I've lost my reminder- simply seeing my favs list.
PR: action scenes are fun but taxing! I stopped advertising for now, figure I'll wait until I go for the 5x a week in a couple months. That's another reason my stats suck.
ghostrunner: LOL- funny story! Thanks!
LanceDanger: heh, playing with your food is highly amusing... Not so sure I'd want to be wearing it though ;0)
Jurbas: thanks for swingin' by!
Toonman: old school, right?
Crocty: soon they'll start having showers after gym AND lunch!
pinkerton: ooooo... Cherry tomatoes......good idea.... Glad someone is teaching those kids important stuff!
SpANG: actually, I know I said "design" but I meant interface and general overhaul of the site.. People were complaining about how slooooow it was. I figured maybe people didn't bother to, say, check out all their fav's, cuz they'd have to wait forever to do so. Like I said earlier to Brock: if we users could choose to just keep our fav's open automatically.. That'd be great.
harryq: that's true, no pressure! Oh, who am I kiddin', I pile the pressure on myself to update consistently.
GTLB: but the hot ones smoosh better on impact!
Jzintel: LOL @ " blatant misuse of tots". That so needs to be on a Tshirt or something.
Midge: I think it's "array", FYI. I can understand, however I LOVE pumpkin pie! I hate broccoli. And it's not because I ate too much during a contest.
crazyduck: attack of the single pea? Now that sends chills down my spine.
*whew* Thanks guys!
I've never been in a food fight either. But that's probably the best as I make quite a large target.
I prefer to eat my tater tots as opposed to throwing them. That's a blatant misuse of tots.
FOOD FIIIIIIGHT!
Actually, I've never wasted food for as to fight with. If I did, I might be thinner. ;)
Sorry about your page views. I would guess it's the same issue that I have. My Favs do not open automatically, and I forget to check. Hopefully, that'll be worked on soon. Hang in there!
I'm thinking that it also had to do with site speed. But DD recently got a brand new server, so speed isn't a problem anymore. I can't see how the front page design would have impacted your comic. I can tell you that Drunk Duck's overall pageviews have not gone down. In any case, I'm sure it will rebound. :D
Lol I was in a quasi-food fight like in 4th grade, I think, it didn't get to escalate into a full-blown one, but it was amusing none the less XD The views have been somewhat weird lately 0_o
i was in one back in jr high i saw what i thought was a handful of potato so i stuck out my hand.
hah. it was tuna noodle casserole that day slipped right past my hand and nailed me right in the eyes. i was on the ground and couldnt bail when the teachers restored order.
people who knew me when i was younger thought i was going to reform school on a scholarship
Yeah, my pageviews aren't what they used to be... but luckily I'm not dying..
and the worst part is... I'm advertised on like 10 sites...
Ah well... good page you got there. I love the action. ;D
That last panel--whoa. That must've taken some time. It shows.
Yeah, page views are down a bit overall. Oddly enough, my rank doesn't fluctuate much. I do believe your hypothesis is correct. Now that the bloom is off the rose, I'm forgetting to check on comics because they're not always "present" when I come to DD. I imagine others are having similar troubles. The DD higher-ups won't be able to write it off as growing pains for much longer.
and yes... My page views took a huge dive, but the day of the change, I had a giant jump?!?!? but, it looks like it's coming back to normal now... have to wait a little longer to see.

Meat balls in tomatoe sauce. That's all I'm going to say. J.

yeah, I don't understand how the stats work. I give up trying to understand. I know the feeling about the tablet, you just gotta love it.

I have also never been in a food fight. I was once hit by a single pea, though. Never found the culprit. Does that count?
TheMidge28 at 8:39AM, March 4, 2008
I was in a pumpkin eating contest that went a rye(sp?)... to this day I hate pumpkin pie.

I was beat with a spoon full of potatoes by my dad. Does that count? My views went into the toilet. The pressures gone! Yay!

HAHA! I was instructing my kids on the fine art of cafeteria food fights... Cherry tomatoes were my weapon of choice.
crocty at 3:07AM, March 4, 2008
Well, every lunch time at my school, lunch time pretty much always ends in someone being drenched in pepsi.
ToonmanAZ at 12:41AM, March 4, 2008
Ahhhh, it's been a long time since I've been in a food fight.
