There are so many new people! why don’t they post here!

*Inside the the dark labyrinth that is the basement of the Library of Congress, a specter noiselessly flits through the bookshelves. It does not wander aimlessly, but moves gracefully with an immediate sense of purpose. But there is no one around to marvel at this shadow’s fluid movements, and that is how the Ninja likes it. He smiles one of those mysterious Ninja smiles that one rarely sees as he draws close to his objective: a book of introductions.*

Greetings one and all! I was annoyed that nobody was posting here, even though there are obviously so many new readers, until I noticed that I HADN’T POSTED HERE!!!

I am either an ageless Ninja who enjoys relating his amazing adventures to others through the over-use of asterisks OR I am a high school junior with a slightly over-sized ego and a bad sense of humor. I refuse to tell you which one is true (and the could both be false; I’m not above that).

I am of the gender which you should be able to guess by now if you have been paying attention to the pronouns.
I came here after seeing an ad for this comic on Goblins (funny because I’ve only ever played D&D twice in my entire life)

BTW we need to find a way to direct more first-time readers to this forum, any ideas?

lotta ninjas on this forum

Hello. I didn’t see this before.

20 and Male. Like everyone else…

@*Ninja, your writing kind of reminds me of the late Robert Jordan. Just throwing it out there.

22, Male, and have spent the last 2 days reading the archives whilst jumping to other tabs whenever people look over my shoulder. I don’t normally care, but this comic is something of a guilty pleasure…

I honestly don’t know why. I openly admit that Azumanga Dioh is one of my all time favourite Anime’s, and that I’m a Furry, so it confuses me. Oh well…

21/22 and Male

29 and Male. got you beat on OLD DavCube.

Maverik, bravo, AD is freakin awesome.

@Erebus: Robert who? I’ve never heard of this guy. It’s not like he didn’t really die and is just laying low using a cheap ninja name to hide his identity! Serious!

Oh, I know. He’s really dead. Fatal blood disease. Tragic.

He was the author of The Wheel of Time, a fantasy series which so far spans 12 books with a page count of at least 750 per book.

You say “so far” - did someone take over the writing after he died?

Brandon Sanderson, an author who Robert Jordan had taken as a protegee, is finishing it up.

See, Mr. Jordan was in the process of writing the 12th and final book when he died. Fortunately, he left a huge amount of notes on how he wanted the book to go, the largest chunk being the ending. Unfortunately, Sanderson said that there is no way it could be finished in one book. He needed three. Which is funny, as the Wheel of Time started out intending to be a trilogy. Then a saga of 5. 7. 10. 12. Now it’s destined for 14.

Wow! That’s like Tolkien and his series explaining Middle Earth!

At least Tolkien named his world. Jordan didn’t. It is just known as Randland by everyone, named after the main character Rand al’Thor

*The Ninja, after scouring the globe and tracking down everyone who could possibly have been Robert Jordan in disguise and confirming for himself that the author was dead, returns and posts a much less silly reply to Erebus.*

Thank you for the compliment, I just looked at Wikipedia(not 100% accurate, but close enough) and it seems that his Wheel of Time Series is pretty Epic. I’ll have to start reading it sometime.

You really should. And if you enjoy it, read the Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson, A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, and The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Read it in the opposite order I said it in though.

19 and male (thought I would keep up the trend) and yes to anyone who has not read the Wheel of Time series, should pick it up and start reading it!

I *bump* the Necromancer, summon this thread from the depths of the endless abyss (thread list) and command it to LIVE! LIVE!

18 and male

:/

16 and female! I feel so little… T . T
Wow, I thought half of the people who commented were girls. x_x

:< I had better not be included in that number.

Well girls may comment on the comics, but barely any brave to venture into the forums.

On the plus side I think it means you get bonus points with the few other girls here cause being a girl is like some sort of super secret club or something here.

17, male…

Lol I feel special ^^
Yeah, I think most of the girls just comment on the comic and then go to Facebook…well, that’s what I do most of the time.

We get another one?

Hey, boys, soon there’ll be enough of us to overthrow you. ^_^

18 and male, I am surprised that there are more guys here.

>->

._. 23, male, came from Slightly Damned.

I feel so…. mainstream @_______@

16, male.

I got here from an ad in Broken Plot Device. The banner was cute so I decided to click it. Lo and behold, I’m now a fan.

Haven’t felt this excited about an update since the day I found Better Days back in 2008 @_@

I’d comment on that but then Jeff would make a joke about my mom and then I’d cry.

….are you calling us whores?

Yes. A million times yes. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ve read him post somewhere: “You are whores. You are all whores, each and every one of you.”

WELL!

Now, I know I’m no looker, but I’d like to think I’m worth a bit more than 20 cents!

*Slaps Suitcase*

You are, Quacksalver. You are.

On a related note, I have a quarter here…

@SuitCase
When you put it into context, yes )

*Slaps Spicy*

Don’t you get fresh with me, mister!




Also, if the poll is still anything to go by, there are 88 males to 7 females……still a totally sausage fest.

As I said, it’s not what you would expect from a comic about high-school drama, then again it could just be the forum that the girls avoid due to some strange conversations.

Please, Quack. There is nothing fresh about me. ;D

Keep it up, mac, an’ I’ll give ya a wallopin’!

25 male and a Bicycle mechanic to boot.

dose this make me your oldest reader??? that be cool.
I love this comic i don’t care what anyone thinks.

You’re a classy broad, Quack. Whether or not you’re a dude, you’re a classy broad.

Holy Jesus, Westy is (barely) older than me. D:

.. 24, Male.
=P What does it feel like to be stalked by so many males, Tae? XD

@ Shen: Man-harem.

17 and female yeah!!!! Suck that! Oh and I saw you on Slightly Damned.

15 - Male

And a fan of BCB since March

20- male
Redirected from two-kinds which was redirected from fancy adventures of jack cannon which was redirect…..

I’m worth at least SIXTY cents. Since I’ve dragged two of my friends into reading the comic as well

I am a 23 year-old male from Canada. Though it has not been very long that I started reading BCB, I have absolutely fallen in love with this webcomic, one of my top favourites out of 20 or 30 other webcomics I read daily. I guess what I love so much about this webcomic is that all of the characters actually feel like they could be real people, I can even relate to some of their experiences.

heh guess what,im 19 male what a surprise right?

found this comic in a project wonderful ad i clicked on it and thought it would be shit,but it wasnt so yea..

25 and male, got here from Precocious.

>.> <.<

These results are unexpected. When I started reading I was thinking ‘Gonna be me and, like, 8 other males’. WRONG!

*looks at everyone’s posts*…. I feel old….
