Who let YOU in here??
January 19th, 2010
Calling all Blockheads! In an effort to more wisely spend my advertising dollars, I am very interested to know how you have arrived at my humble little site. Some of you have been reading and commenting for a while, yet I still don’t know which breadcrumb trail you followed to get here.
Please take a moment and let me know how you learned about Whatisdeepfried.com or Weapon Brown. I am especially interested to know if any of my Project Wonderful ad links were involved.

At some point in the distant past I saw three preview pages from the original Weapon Brown book. (Specifically, it was Brown’s meetup with Lucy.) They were posted on Newsarama.com and have long since vanished.
The pages in question were posted in a thread about other alternative depictions of Mr. Brown and company, including a manga version.
January 18th, 2010 at 2:08 pm
I clicked a banner ad on either chainsawsuit.com or drmcninja.com. I can’t remember which.
January 18th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
I found your comic through a comics discussion megathread on somethingawful.com
January 18th, 2010 at 2:31 pm
I stumbled onto this place via the project wonderful ads on either Girls With Slingshots or The Devils Panties
January 18th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
I was surfing 4chan’s /co/ channel one day. Someone posted some of your Clarissa comics. They were the most depressing things I’d ever read, so I had to find more of your stuff. I checked the Character list, and noticed Weapon Brown. At that moment, I thought this was your usual webcomic with an overarching narrative, and wanted to see how the two shared a universe. To my surprise, and delight, they didn’t. I was hooked on Blockhead’s War

I got here via a link from a friend’s blog, http://kleefeldoncomics.blogspot.com/. I think that at one time he might have mentioned WB in a post, also. Okay, search results tell me that actually it was a few times.
January 18th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
I think I was linked here from the Comics Curmudgeon.
January 18th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
I found your site by chance when I was reading the sponsors of “Girls With Slingshots.” I just saw a huge ripped dude in a charlie brown shirt and the words “Weapon Brown.” I knew I had to come here. I read some of Deep Fried, but after about 4 pages I got antsy and used the archive search to hit up Weapon Brown ASAP. This is the best post-apocalyptic story I’ve ever seen.
January 18th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
someone linked to you from a forum. can’t remember which one though
January 18th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
it was linking to a WB story, btw.
January 18th, 2010 at 4:30 pm
Back in ’03, after years of hanging around NewGrounds, I finally saw a cartoon that spoke my language: The Most Dangerous Game. The subtext was simple–but the reticent references to sci-fi were unique, fresh, and funny. Essentially everything missing from the general fare of contributors to NG.
Afterwards, I followed the artist’s link back here.
And I’ve been here ever since.
January 18th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
This is the first time I’ve used gravitar, so I hope it works.
I believe I found Clarissa via Digg. After reading the Clarissa series that were out at the time, I browsed away from it and promptly forgot about it (ooh look, something else shiny!!!). After a while (could have been years, possibly minutes later) I did a google image search for Clarissa. After many searches through images of other women named Clarissa who also seem to have father issues, I found this http://nsfw.myconfinedspace.com/2009/12/25/clarissa-ruins-thanksgiving/
In there is a link to your website.
Today’s captcha seems to be related to the comic, but damned if I can make it fit a joke:

January 18th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
While I found out about you through my friend, Tara, who dropped Weapon Brown in my lap one day, I am noticing a major viral insurgence of countless pieces of your work on 4chan.org’s /co/ comics and cartoons board.
January 18th, 2010 at 5:42 pm
I believe Project wonderful got me here from kris straub’s chainsawsuit.
January 18th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
I found you through a banner ad whilst perusing “Garfield Minus Garfield.”
– Captcha heard from farmers: reported locusts.
January 18th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
A friend turned me on to Girls With Slingshots, which turned me on to Weapon Brown. I guess I like being turned on…
January 18th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
Girls With Slingshots – saw your ad beneath her comic.
January 18th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
I started reading Deep Fried when it was in the Buffalo Beast and have been reading comics on your site ever since.
January 18th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Newgrounds. That fantastic ad for Funsnax Gummi Razor Blades introduced me to your genius back in… 2002?
January 18th, 2010 at 7:52 pm

I’m a comic strip creator; I drew my first strip when I was a child and have continued the same strip for well over twenty years in one form or another. My biggest influences were Peanuts (almost from birth) and Calvin & Hobbes. With that said, I’ve always sought out spoofs or tributes to favorite strips, particularly Peanuts (Mad magazine was the first indication in my life that such possibilities existed). It was by luck that I came across Weapon Brown, but I’m not surprised how drawn I was to it, and it has been a major inspiration for me both for the artwork and the writing. I have evolved into a filmmaker over the years and I look at this strip in a movie sense as well (it works really well).
This is by far the best and most thorough and fully realized recreation of the Peanuts-as-adults mantra ever. Moreover, JY’s interaction within the comments section makes the whole thing feel homey and friendly (regardless of all the blood and violence), which also serves to connect us with the strips and the characters in it. Well done.
January 18th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
I came here from Girls with Slingshots.
January 18th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Same as Kschenke. One of your Project Wonderful links really pulled me in. :3 Really snazzy banner btw. Have bookmarked the site ever since.
January 18th, 2010 at 11:24 pm
I must’ve gotten here from The Comics Curmudgeon. I can’t find the link, but it was either a blog post or possibly its comments section.
January 19th, 2010 at 12:32 am
Wandering around downtown Rochester whilst visiting a frightening grandmother, my mum and I happened upon the Best of Deep Fried and individual issues in a shop on Monroe Ave, nearby Archimage and Aaron’s Alley.
A post-apocalyptic Charlie Brown cover with a dessicated Psychiatric Help Booth caught my attention, and I bought the Best Of volume and read it with zeal. I looked up your website online, and the rest is history.
January 19th, 2010 at 12:53 am
Weapon Brown was mentioned and linked at Roasted Peanuts
http://peanutsroasted.blogspot.com/
a site that is reviewing the Peanuts daily strips from the beginning, back when Charlie Brown was much more like Calvin and Snoopy was still a dog.
January 19th, 2010 at 12:56 am
I saw a link on Chainsawsuit. Actually, I just saw a jagged version of Charlie Brown’s shirt, went “DOUBLE U TEE EFF?!” and arrived HERE.
January 19th, 2010 at 1:03 am
Some years ago I met you slumming at the Association of Alternative Newspapers convention, which is like a clown convention only not funny.
January 19th, 2010 at 2:39 am
I found Weapon Brown through the Something Awful forums. There was a thread for daily comics, and even though Weapon Brown didn’t qualify for the thread since it wasn’t a syndicated print comic, it was posted religiously because the quality was so high and the references, certainly relevant to the thread.
Keep it up man!
January 19th, 2010 at 3:47 am
I became interested when Joe Linsner did that painting of Mint and her friend. I then bought Weapon Brown right away.
January 19th, 2010 at 8:23 am
I stumbled upon whatisdeepfried while helping my mother search for a good deal on, of all things, a new fryer for her kitchen. That was about… Three years ago?
Excellent comics all around, I must say.
January 19th, 2010 at 10:25 am
Having a webcomic, and loving to read webcomics, I’m pretty sure I found your site via a small ad on another webcomic.
January 19th, 2010 at 10:51 am
Don’t remember, don’t care, here now, not leaving
January 19th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
Pretty sure it was from a Project Wonderful ad, could have been Devil’s Panties or GWS; I read them both.
January 19th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
I’m not certain, but i think i was reading Ted Rall’s comics and blog a few years ago and somehow found DeepFried when he was talking about other cool artists, perhaps in the same missive where Ted mentioned Minimum Security from Stephanie McMillan.
January 19th, 2010 at 4:38 pm
Through an ad on a webcomic, but I couldn’t tell you which one.
January 19th, 2010 at 8:36 pm
I clicked on a banner at garfield minus garfield…
My poor brain hasn’t been the same since
January 19th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
I can’t remember if I got the website off the Weapon Brown comic or if I googled it later to see if there was more.
January 20th, 2010 at 2:04 am
Project Wonderful ad from Girls with Slingshots.

Ordered The Great Taste of Deep Fried on a whim when I saw it listed in the Previews catalog.
January 20th, 2010 at 7:55 am
Got here from GWS as well.
January 20th, 2010 at 8:36 am
No ad for me. It was a solid recommendation from Lonnie Easterling at Spud Comics. http://spudcomics.com/2009/02/23/what-im-reading/ Been here ever since.
January 20th, 2010 at 9:39 am
I got here from a project wonderful ad on questionablecontent.net!

I saw a link through Girls With Slingshots.
January 20th, 2010 at 1:09 pm
About 7 years ago while in my newgrounds period, I stumbled upon a video of children eating razorblades. I was appalled but intrigued, when I followed the link to the authors homepage it led me here, and here I remain.
January 20th, 2010 at 4:53 pm
You found me when you started posting on The Official Unofficial Achewood Message Board. I was trying to figure out what the hell your Roadkill avatar actually was.

Either Girls with Slingshots or Questionable Content via Project Wonderful
January 20th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
I found you though my firstborn at a con, as I was orgasmically thrust to the joy of deep fried goodness, curse you, you selfesh sell out, you had me at Clarissa. May you enjoy life as thousands of Haitians struggle to exist amongst government assistance as I live.
January 20th, 2010 at 11:51 pm
How did I come to find this glorious satirical site? ‘Twas the year 2005, Hurricane Katrina showed what our government’s emergency management services were made of(“Heckuva job, Brownie!” as one individual was heard to say) and I was surfing Newgrounds for my amusement when I saw the flash cartoon Humungus Disaster. It made me laugh because somehow it wouldn’t surprise me if the Humungus’s real life counterpart really had taken that path to deal with the aftermath
January 21st, 2010 at 12:19 am
I followed a banner link while reading Dr. McNinja.
January 21st, 2010 at 12:44 am
I followed a link from Girls without Slingshots.
January 21st, 2010 at 3:52 am
I came across you at Wizard World where you were set up. I spoke with you and somehow you convinced me to visit your website and here we are.
January 21st, 2010 at 1:04 pm
i found it whilst stumbling with stumbleupon.
January 21st, 2010 at 2:28 pm
Sorry JY, but I actually popped in here almost completely by happenstance.
I was looking at an anime-style Charlie Brown that was linked on a DeviantArt comment. With some research, I learned that the artist who created it discontinued that line of work, but I was determined to see if that search would bear more fruit.
Following this line of thought, I eventually found a review site about “this nutcase” that put Charlie Brown in a post-apocalyptic future that would make (and this is the best I can remember) “Schultz spin in his grave so fast that he could drill to China”
The image they used in that review was the Lucy-football page found on this site. Morbidly curious, I went to the front page and the rest is history.
That’s what: “hoskins said”
January 21st, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Oh, and ironically I did see more ProjectWonderful ads from other sites point here. But only after I had arrived myself. (How -does- that work out again?)

January 21st, 2010 at 4:20 pm
I purchased one of your comics from you at Dragon*Con.
January 21st, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Through P’Ject Wonderful.
January 22nd, 2010 at 11:07 am
I met you at Dragoncon and loved Weapon Brown so much I just had to check out your site.
January 22nd, 2010 at 2:53 pm
I really do not remember exactly how I discovered this wonderful strip. Probable through surfing some xxx rated site and voila here I am. More likely stumbled on it through one of the many links that parade across other comic websites.
January 22nd, 2010 at 5:42 pm
First comment here, but I’m an enthusiastic fan.
I was tipped off by my buddy Pete Tarkulich, who writes/draws http://www.bardsworth.com. He mentioned that Weapon Brown was his new favorite comic and I came snooping shortly thereafter…
January 22nd, 2010 at 10:36 pm
Ditto on Orson Zedd – found via those Clarissa stories.
January 23rd, 2010 at 11:24 am
Shook your hand at Dragoncon ’08. Walked away thinking, “Holy shit. What a mad, subversive badass. I should check his shit out.” I. Had. No. Idea.
January 24th, 2010 at 3:11 pm
I was intrigued by the add on Girls with Slingshots. Not disappointed!
January 25th, 2010 at 2:25 am
since i picked up deep fried number 2 i have been a fan!
January 25th, 2010 at 6:54 pm
Eric Altermann’s site Altercation had a link to Zog. This was a few years back
January 25th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
BOO-KOO years ago i saw a comic in previews with a great/funny cover. Being an unbelievably intelligent/astute reader, i ordered it. Edgy content, funny as all hell, great art-what more ya need? I was in. Clairissa was hands down funniest strip I’ve ever seen. Looked in comic, went to web site.
YES-I AM ANCIENT-BACK OFF OR I BITE.

January 27th, 2010 at 4:12 pm
No clue. It was 10 years ago.
January 29th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
I saw you at Artist Alley At the Wizard Chicago show a few years ago. You sold me on a copy of weapon Brown and i’ve been here ever since.
February 4th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
Somebody on /b/ posted a few Clarissa comics. Half an hour of frustrated google searching later, here I am.
February 5th, 2010 at 4:36 pm
I found my way here via a banner ad on Dr. McNinja.

Found some Deepfrieds at local Neptune Comics. Needed Weapon Brown T. Needed never-seen earlier issues. Was forced, FORCED to track down this site. Oh, also I’m from Rachaha, where I briefly ran a comic shop back in 1982.
February 19th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
Saw your Weapon Brown stickers and pins at Queen City Books and became instantly curious. Bought as many issues as I could and gave up my comic/porn searches of Linus and Marge Simpson doing it for a more mature approach to adult comics.

It was from a Wizard magazine article from 5 or more years ago. Seriously, I’m in college now, and it was probably from when I was in middle school.
April 5th, 2010 at 9:57 am
Followed a copy of a particularly depressing Clarissa strip posted on the chans.
June 9th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Ditto to Anon, though the Clarissa strip was posted on a movie message board I frequent. When everyone started ‘oohing’ and ‘ahhing’ over it, someone posted a link here.
