Not really a page that has anything to do with the story. Just a topical, holiday poster, done to commemorate the 4th of July. Ive always seen webcomics do this when the big holidays hit, and Ive always wanted to do this as well. My first one was for Father's Day as a DW mini, and this one, I just wanted to try a bunch of different things. I think it turned out pretty well, someone told me it looked like a scene from an actual cartoon which made me really happy. Anyhow, I have a big version of it as well, but because of the shape, is more poster like then desktop wallpaper material.
Happy 4th everybody.

I really dig it, mon frer. With respect to all of the patriots who've given of themselves to keep us an independent and free nation, I also like to use July 4th as a day to appreciate one person in particular who inspires me to lay myself on the line for the good of all. That person, Bill Pullman. His speech in the movie Independence Day gives me chills every time I listen to it. So for those who also share a love for President Thomas J. Whitmore, please feel welcome to share in my celebratory practices. Some examples might be to give the speech to family and friends at whatever BBQ you attend, another would be to pour out some beverage while silently giving thanks to those who gave their lives to defend us from the alien scourge, another still would be to host a screening of ID4 with loved ones, and scrapbook about the event after-the-fact. Use your imagination, Bill Pullman would.

Good Morning *SQUUEEEEEEEE*

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind.

"Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests.

Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom; not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... But from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist.

And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"

Awesome. And Id like to proclaim, that my wife and I being true American patriots, did indeed watch TBS's showing of ID4, with pride and honor, knowing full well, that mankind's sheer tenacity and indomnitable spirit would prevail against all odds, all trials, and all enemies, foreign, domestic, and intergalactic.

Seriously though, watching that movie I was reminded of the time when it first came out and how people were so amazed and wowed by it. Whatever happened to that pure enjoyment of movies? Lately all it has been is bitch bitch bitch.

I liked Transformers 2. So what if Michael Bay used alot of special effects. ITS A F5CKING TRANSFORMERS MOVIE! What do people want, a guy jumping around in a rubber suit? Ugh..

Anyhow, I like movies for what they are, entertainment.

Hey, it worked for Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

Thanks for posting the speech BK1, it gives me goose bumps even when I just read it quietly to myself. I am with you there Rigs.
I think the change happened when the chasm between fan-boyishness and ignorant sheep widened. All of the sudden dorkiness became a little more valued by society, and all of these people that have always been brazen, ungrateful, nerd-snobs had more volume to their voice. To make matters worse, the growth of the webernets gave them all a tumult from which to launch their self-righteous indignation. Meanwhile people were starting to develop a more refined (yet still evil and inane) distinction system between perceived intelligent and ignorance based on whether or not you enjoyed various threads of the entertainment quilt. Loved it? You must not be smart enough to see the flaws. Hated it? Ah, you are bright and intelligent aren't you? Let us banter for hours about how a single panel of Optimus Prime's left shoulder was a different color than the cartoon, and how that invalidated our entire experience. The same knuckleheads with all the spite and disdain for your favorite summer blockbuster are probably watching some obscure anime or video game trailer clapping and giggling like simpletons right now just because the rest of the world does not recognize value in their "underground media." If something is unpopular, it's probably, at least a little bit, because it sucks. It became harder and harder to find a comfortable middle ground where you could enjoy an experience AND have an intelligent conversation about your favorite parts and the ones that made you go, "hmm?" Just because your mom says you are handsome and smart, and her special boy, the rest of the world does not necessarily agree or grant you the power to judge all things in the scope of pop-culture. Until you've actually had life experiences outside of the cavernous, climate-controlled confines of your parents' basement, you have ZERO credibility in my view. So here's my prescription for this sickness. If you are like Rigsbee, myself, and other like-minded individuals who can see something for its greatness as well as its flaws, and genuinely be entertained by the experience of seeing a movie, then seek out others who share your joy. Don't argue for hours with the internet trolls, thus validating their twisted hate-speech, it will only spur them to new heights of irreverent annoyance. If you are in the "I'm too good to like fun things" camp, then finish reading this, close the browser window, and go outside! See the sun, have a conversation with a person in R34L L1F3! Maybe you can expand your perspective so that there's a little more joy and promise, rather than a guaranteed life of lonely sadness. The real secret to appreciating any experience is being able to take the good for what it's worth and forgiving the bad with the understanding that nothing is ever perfect...except President Thomas J Whitmore's (As played by Bill Pullman) "to war" speech in Independence Day. Perfect.
