Haven’t done a Search Term Roundup in a while and looking through the list… hoo-boy, it’s time. Just a reminder, these are actual search terms that show up in my stats on the administrative end of circlecomics.com. It’s a way for me to see what words and phrases people are using to find my site. Some of them make sense like “Daniel Larson Comic.” Others are indirectly correct like the classic “stupid people in New Hampshire.” This is some examples of the rest of the pack.
compressive explosive fracture vertebra – Pg. 1, 6th Result. Nice! I’m on the first page! Before I fell out of the handsome tree and hit every branch on the way down back on January 17th, this might have been a strange result. But now, my brothers and sisters in traumatic back injury will be able to find me and my story. Hopefully it will allow them to fight through their pain, take pride in themselves, stand a little taller… yikes. Too soon.
mike zeck wolverine – Pg. 1, 1st Result. Excellent. This is what I like to see. I put up a post and it immediately starts driving traffic to me. I am honored just to be associated with Mike Zeck in any way.
stick man through pillow – Pg. 1, 5th Result. Hmmm. I have to assume this is supposed to be Stick-Man THROW pillow. Through pillow just doesn’t make any sense, unless… could there be a comic about a stick-man character going through a pillow? I suppose. I’m not writing it. Or maybe I am. Stick-Man Through Pillow is ©2010 circlecomics.
where do prostitutes hang out in manches – C’mon peole, my Mom reads this! I’m assuming the system cut this off before the searcher finished typing it in although it’s possible that they were stopped in the middle of the act, hurriedly hitting the Enter key before someone discovered their deviant behavior. I can’t even begin to wonder why this search found me. I don’t think the word prostitute has ever been used on this site (‘til now). Whatever they were looking for, I’m certain they were disappointed when they found circlecomics.com. Nothing kills the mood like Stick-Man and Super Joe talking to each other on the phone. But now it’s got me wondering… this isn’t necessarily a search with the intent to be complicit in an illegal activity, maybe it was a search BY a prostitute new to the area just trying to find other people like them. Like a prostitute community center or something. Now I feel bad. I hope they found the hang out.
terminal velocity of a cat – Pg. 3, Result 7. This one’s easy. It’s 2x the mass of the cat x acceleration due to gravity (-9.81m/s squared) divided by the density of the fluid the object is falling through (in this case, the atmosphere) multiplied by the projected area of the object times the drag coefficient. Of course that’s for a cat that is free-falling by itself and not riding me (Daniel Larson) to the ground.
broken back-brace – A little confusion here as I’m not sure if the person is searching for a brace for a broken back or a back brace that happens to be broken. If their looking to buy, I will gladly make the necessary modifications to mine if the price is right.
villain taunts – Pg. 1, 5th Result. I’ve never though of circlecomics as a hub of villain taunts. Come to think of it, I don’t know that any of the villains have ever taunted on this site. I don’t even really know who qualifies as a villain at this point. Surely, Kilorax is a villain in the oft-delayed Weekly comic, but that guy doesn’t even speak, so taunting is open for interpretation. In the Daily… you could make the argument that Dan is the villain to Stick-Man’s hero, but you could go the other way to. Neither one of them is really evil, though but they both do a fair amount of taunting. Ah, taking a look at the page that it actually found it’s from the Summer Comics Workshop script that I wrote up. Still surprised with the whole internets to choose from that circlecomics is on page 1.
daniel larsson the karate kid – Pg. 1, 2nd Result What can I say about this? I *am* the Karate Kid despite what Jackie Chan and Baby Will Smith think. You can remake the movie but you can’t replace “Daniel-san” or “wax on, wax off” in our popular culture lexicon. The mantle of “Daniel-san” is proudly carried by all Dans and Daniels just like “Dan the Man” or “Dan, Dan the Umbrella Man.”
i’m tired of stick figure comics – Pg. 2, 2nd Result. Help me out here, is this irony or just coincidence?
