I drew it on my iPad. You just have to use the smallest brush and be patient with it. I agree though that on a smaller screen like an iPhone it's like trying to paint with a firehose.

The Oatmeal on Atheism by Contrapunctus_XIVin atheism

Also, unrelated but someone just sent me a link that suggests that Pythagoras may have killed in the name of math.

The Oatmeal on Atheism by Contrapunctus_XIVin atheism

[–]GiantBatFart 89 points90 points ago

Yeah, that was my bad. I thought Hitler's religion was still up for debate, but after reading this it sounds like he was pretty much 100% all aboard the Jesus train. I changed the wording a bit so that the religious character in the comic says his pastor told him that Hitler and Stalin were atheists. This doesn't fix the problem, but it helps dispel the idea a little bit because he's just parroting something he heard at church.

Hugs and polynomials,

Cross-post from another subreddit about this

There's a little update at the bottom of the comic about what happened. All apologies to the author over at Atheist Cartoons.

An album of how 30+ websites participated in the SOPA/PIPA blackout. by dlinkin pics

I've got to admit that making an animated GIF of a koala and a goat having sex and then seeing it on mainstream news sources like CNN and Sports Illustrated's websites pretty much made my year.

Of course the day after I say my server can handle the traffic, it starts having issues. If it doesn't pull up right away, hit refresh once or twice.

Thanks again, Mr. (Ms?) Mudo. If I make lots of internet money I will buy a mega-yacht and fill it with prostitutes, rubies, and cocaine. I'll give you free rides on it whenever you like.

Yeah, it shouldn't crash. My entire site is set up to serve things statically as plain old HTML, so I can usually handle a big influx of traffic without any issues.

When I wrote this comic I promised myself I wouldn't include any poop jokes. It wasn't until the last panel about the skunk that I realized I'd failed, although technically it's not poop coming out of his butt so I think I'm in the clear.

The Oatmeal's update on the FunnyJunk situation by djepikin funny

[–]GiantBatFart 15 points16 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I stopped submitting comics to reddit because I got the impression that the community here hated me. Subsequently, redditors started submitting comics themselves and so every time I posted a new comic it'd wind up in a variety of subreddits. This would incur a fresh flood of hate mail: calling me a spammer, telling me to go kill myself, etc. I figured if redditors didn't want me on their site, I didn't want them on mine. I thought the best way to dissuade them from submitting my comics was to set up a rick roll.

Technically it wasn't just a Rick roll though. The redirection script alternated between Rick Astley, Cher's Do you believe in life after love?, and Informer by Snow.

As for the jerk thing, I'm not actually an asshole (not entirely, anyway). I act like one over email, Facebook, and Twitter because it lets me troll the morons who email me and add them to my retarded emails section.
