It's self-deprecating humor... No, it's a dig at that animated show... No, the panel has no one in the frame (I'm frightened)... No, it's a normal BI, after all. Phew! That was close.
Wow, awesome. SERIOUSLY. I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be requesting many installments of Comic-Con-Fusion. Come on! Even if it's once a month I'd look forward to it.
If he's doing webcomics why is he just studying what Americans find amusing? All this time I thought WWW stood for WorldWideWeb. Now I find out it stands for AmericanWideWeb?? Oh well, since I'm not American I'll just have to stop reading this webcomic. Goodbye.
Comic very funny. Kate's comment, also very funny. So rewarding when commenters take the artist's joke and build on it... and Dana, I think Rob was being a bit... critical... of American humour. I don't think he has imperialist ambitions... yet. ;-)
@bigdaddy: I said & meant self-deprecating, but self-defecating is funnier.

Hahaha! The first panel is roaringly funny on its own!
Genius! You have done it again Scott! Love the comic man, keep up the great work!

Oooh! It's a meta comic!

'Bye Dana! I'll miss you.
I hate you. I need a new keyboard.
I'm guessing panel two is a reference to Seth MacFarlane, though it seems to be missing a letter.
That's great - I think my next Hallowe'en costume will be as Irritable Bowel
@Soul of Wit-- I think you mean "self-defecating" humor.
I love the self-defecating humor.
ah ha! rick has finally turned the tables.
@Scott H., pretty sure he means Todd McFarlane, the comic toy mogul and Spawn guy. :)
The MacFarlane code, of course!
Was it a typo or a Spawn reference?
The reference to "the McFarlane Code" went over my head .... What's being referred to?
Note from scott: Seth McFarlane, creator of Family Guy.
Please do a full Comic-Con-Fusion comic!
McFarlane code.. lol... awesome as usual, Scott.. thank you :)
Sadly, that is exactly how the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were created.
(I wish that was a joke)
@Kate-- i think he means ''self-depreciating'' humor

I will totally read that comic. What will its url be?
Canadians suffering from Overcompensating Irrelevant Country Jingoism are funny.
Adam was wearing his Infini-Tee on tonight's Mythbusters!
Hope we'll all hear more from Nervous Bladder and Irritable Bowel. On second thought...
It's Seth MACfarlane, dude.
Note from Scott :Right you are. It has been corrected.
The artwork in "Comic-con-fusion" makes me want to see more of Scotts drawing, rather than his Xeroxing.
How's the new girl at work, Athena, doing?
This comic really speaks to me.

Just catching up. "MacFarlane Code" -- brilliant! I think a little bit of pee just came out I was laughing so hard.
Who will get the girl? Nervous Bladder or his constantly cranky companion Irratible Bowel? Stay tuned for more Jersey Shore to find out!!!
The thing is, I want to see the comic now...
