Self Absorbed Filler
Here is a filler for Friday, I wanted to avoid it, but not having a working tablet has made this kind of tedious, luckily Wacom’s awesome customer service is sending a replacement which should arrive by tomorrow.
So, sorry about the the filler post, things will be back in full swing soon, AND I shipped out the last of the shirts today 🙂
“Makes my knickers tense”. Gonna have to use that line sometime. Perfect ratio of crass to classy.
Scott! The grammar nazi in my wants to point out Nergil cannot love “my myself” in panel 3. Aside from that, I don’t know if I want to know his version of loving himself. At least he’s not a Narcissus (Greek Myth)…
Dorthy! The grammar nazi in me wants to point out that you don’t have an object that wants to point out Scott’s error.
I can’t believe that! Pish-Posh! I have impeccable grammar! XD
The grammar nazi in me wishes to point out that as Narcissus is a figure in Greek mythology and as one cannot “be” a Narcissus (as it is not a noun), instead you meant narcissist, being someone who suffers (or rather, doesn’t) from narcissism. Also pish posh is neither capitalized nor hyphenated. In addition, I’m a huge tool.
The grammar nazi in me would like to point out that Narcissus is in fact a proper noun, and therefore while your point is valid it is being made using the wrong reasoning.
The plant nazi in me would like to point out that narcissus is totally a thing one can be, since a narcissus is a type of flower, and is in fact its own genus. There are dozens of species of narcissus for one to be, should one be so inclined and have the technological, magical, and/or figurative means to do so.
The political science nazi in me wants to point out that simply adding an adjective in front of Nazi does not change the political stand points of the party, and therefore, deep inside all of you, you really just want to kill Jewish people. 😐 So do I, as I used the same tactic. Wow. The more you know, right guys?
The grammar Hitler in me would like to commit suicide now.
The grammer american in me would like to help 😉
j/k xD
Hey, at least grammar Hitler had spelling nazis on his side. 😛
I believe Ralph Wiggum said it best…
I just want to be a part of this.
Every time I read “makes my knickers tense” I get this weird shiver. I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or not.
Ah well.
At least it confuses my roommate.
Wow… I just found this surfing the sillyness of the net. and I had to read it… whole. aaaall today. Couldn’t do anything else.
And I love how your style has improved from the first strips to your actual art!
I way the love you colour…. I mean… I colour the love…. I…. JUST F*CKING AWESOMETASTIC!!
me’s adding this to the bookmarks.
And I’ll be stalking…
And waiting for book to come and see if I can afford it !!
And I still want those boxers.
If there were an expandable organ in my knickers, I would know exactly how Nergil feels when thinking about me. Alas, there is not, so I will never know what it feels like to make my knickers tense. Still, thinking about me is always exciting.
“love back into his heart”
“loved himself an hour ago”
Nergul must’ve used a syringe.
I always wondered what his hands were doing behind his back all the time.
…
… ewwwwwww.
You know, such an act at such an angle would actually be very mechanically awkward…
…which supports your theory even more, since we’re talking about Nergil.
This IS the person that did unspeakable things to a chair, after all.
My day started out pretty crappy …. and you have, once again, made my LIFE. Please continue being awesome. Thanks. XD
Oh Scott, you know we love your filler art so much, how could we ever complain about getting it? (Although that’s no excuse for you to slack off, dammit. I’m still sitting on the edge of my seat for Scout!)
I’d say broken machinery is a relatively valid excuse. I know I’ve been there, at least.
I’d say something witty about…I forgot but it was witty, dammit, except I’m enduring my unairconditioned office and am therefore lacking with because it’s hot. BUT IT WAS WITTY DAMMIT.
Oh…oh god, did I really write that? I am so so sorry. It was so hot in my office. I deeply, deeply apologize. I was going to make some joke between sharks and monkeys but now I totally forgot.
There, there. *pats*
I live in Singapore. Believe me, I know all about hot and a lack of air-conditioning.
Admittedly where I live the heat only gets uncomfortable a few weeks a year (cold is another story). Just switched from the winter coat to a spring jacket yesterday. Still, the things I’ve posted when unrested. No judgement here Sarcasm Monster. No judgement here.
Doesn’t have much to do with the comic, but I just received the shirt. I’ll have you know you should warn people before they un-package it. I was nearly blinded by sheer awesomitude. Also, your handwriting is exceptional.
Man, I hear you as far as technical differences. The power cable to my laptop died, so I can’t work on my own project until I can buy a new one. Ach.
In other news, what kind of tablet do you use? I’ve been using a Bamboo for a while and it’s worked fabulously. (And it’s cheap too!)
He has such a unique and wonderful outlook on the world.
He gets worse nd worse, yet remains just as dapper… Perplexing, is it not?
Quite
Indeed

Seen this and thought of you scott and btw i like the filler comics almost as much as the regular ones. I will probably post that link on monday’s comic as well…just sayin’.
Hey Scott, just a comment on the last few strips. It looks like it’s been difficult with the new t-shirts and broken tablet, but for the past two weeks, you’ve had filler to content at four-to-six. You’ve obviously got something amazing going, being able to support yourself with your art. It just seems like you could step it back up a bit, learn from this and other spells of filler (avalanches of deadlines for other projects, repeated virus infiltration) and work on your time-management skills. You’re a fantastic artist and author, and deserve to have an archive full of amazing content, not filler due to repeatedly biting off more than you can chew!
I’d agree with most other people, but Scott’s filler is at least as good as most of the webcomics I read, anyway.
He’s definitely in the habit of biting off more than he can chew (are you still planning on starting that fourth comic, Scott?), but he’s always so adorably torn up about it that it’s hard to hold it against him.
Hey Scott!
I got my shirt in the mail today and I feel pretty intrepid sporting these awesome new threads! I must now go battle destiny with the diplomatic power of my fists.
Every filler I have witnessed has reduced me to giggles for a minimum of 48 hours. Let the laughter begin.
just a quick question about the shirt orders; I made a pre-order back on the 20th (along with a print) and when I noticed you said the last of the orders would be shipped out, I checked my dapper decorum history account thingy, and it says my order has been cancelled; hopefully it’s just an error, since payment went through without a hitch. Unable to find some sort of customer support, I resolved to post my concerns on here ^^;
Should totally put a link on the side for all Nergil cartoons
Nergil must be one fine man to make his own knickers tense XD
I’M A NAZI!
I almost did a Spittake reading this XD
