The Worst Ads in the World (or, How to make a tuna sandwich in 250 words)
The worst ads in the world are the ones you have to pay to watch.
Increasingly these are the ads I watch, as I have to pay for bandwidth. The poverty forced upon me by this added cost, and laziness, lead me to eat beau coup Tuna.
There are many ways to eat tuna:
1) Catch a tuna (you will probably need a friend’s help, tuna are big) and grill that tuna on the beach.
2) Buy tuna at fish market and prepare with love. (This is expensive, even more-so for those of us pushing the limits of 200Gb bandwidth per month)
3) Open a can of tuna fish you bought for about a buck. (Of course dolphin safe, ’cause we still have class)
(Note: This method generally requires mayonnaise.)
Now that our tuna is out of the can, you might be asking yourself, “do… do I just eat it?”. No my friend you don’t, not if you want to eat tuna fish like me!
First you have to decide, what starch will I use to compliment my tuna?
Tuna Sandwich
If it will be bread for a sandwich, then you’ll need any and as many of the following as possible:
- red pepper flakes
- salt
- pepper
- garlic powder
- chives (some folks like celery in their tuna sandwich, they are wrong)
Dump all that stuff on the tuna in the bowl.
(oh yeah, you already put the tuna in a bowl, cause you’re good like that. And you also drained the juices out before putting it in the bowl, and didn’t give any to my cat even though he begged because he’s allergic to everything except chicken, which is bizarre because how could a cat kill a chicken in the wild?)
Add 1 spoonful of mayo, stir that around and serve on the bread you already had the good sense to toast.
Bon sandwich.
Tuna on Crackers
If you choose the cracker route (this is the better route by far) you’ll have more questions to ask yourself;
Which fruits do i have? (If you have grapes or apples, then you’re doing great and just make the above tuna mix sans garlic powder and red pepper flakes.) If you have no fruit or don’t go in for that sort of thing, then my recommendation is go the sandwich route laid out above.
Note: Those with more exotic tastes (i.e. ladies) enjoy the above tuna recipes but with orange-sesame dressing as a replacement for the mayonnaise.

Coffee Time
The cool thing about this little job I have as an artist is that I get better every time I draw. For example; this time I drew the entire background first, then I added another bunch of layers for the characters. Oh and it’s just two panels this time – Emmy

TunaTesting Complete!
Have some delicious cake!
Today was probably the first super high-traffic burst we’ve had since the hardcore fixes went into TunaGaming, and we’re happy to announce it was a success! (I.E. we got mentioned in the Podcast instead of just chat, thanks Jesse!). The site didn’t even stumble, let alone crash, in the face of the Cynical Fleet!
Again, thanks to Jesse Cox and everyone at ShaBooZey.com for letting us throw Tuna at your servers. A special thanks goes out to Kiskae and Dyneslott for making all of this actually happen and work!

Dodger to run for King Of The Web
So it seems Dodger of PressHeartToContinue and the TGS Podcast will be running for King of the Web in this round of elections. For those not in the know King of the Web is a “popularity” contest allowing users to vote for their favourite internet personalities. Cash prizes are involved with first place receiving $7,500, second $1,500 and third $500. Winners of the various rounds of elections will be entered in the Battle Royale, a larger version of the competition beginning this August.
Dodger has said that any winnings she makes in the competition will be donated to Water.org a non-profit organization that works to bring clean drinking water to developing countries. Jesse and TotalBiscuit have already ran for King with their winnings going to Shaboozey.com and charity respectively.
At the time of writing Dodger is in first place with around 50,000 votes, the second place holder is currently at 27,000. This is a relatively good lead but with two weeks left in the election anything can happen.
If you are interested in helping Dodger out in her campaign or checking out King of the Web you can click here. A Facebook account or a valid email address is all that you need to start voting and remember you can vote ten times a day!

‘Dat Comic
I think the one thing every artist needs to be able to do is laugh at themselves. I have met many artists in my day and its safe to say most of them were the stereo-typical “I drew a shadow of building, check out how amazing I am!” kinda people. Nothing knocks you off your high-horse more then a group of people who bash on something you created. So its important to learn that early on that not everyone is going to like what you do. and you just got to be able to laugh it off. – Emmy
