uhhhhhhhh amazon RAN OUT because it was SO POPULAR and i got the LAST COPY. they didn't stop seeling it for no reason.

[edit] Semi-protection

The recent edits to Spigot's character description are not permitted under Wikipedia policy, particularly since the Spigot link leads to a living person. See WP:LIVING for details. I've semi-protected the article for now. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 01:24, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] don't delete this page

Deleting the entry for Jerkcity would be dumb. The comic is mentioned in numerous books about webcomics and is connected to legal debates about intellectual property, due to its usage of Jim Woodring's illustrations from Microsoft Comic Chat.

  • HOMPF BOMPF COOKIE CRUNCH........Jerkcity is important, don't delete this article.

[edit] Character identities

I hereby posit that neither pants nor deuce is fictional. I declare as evidence:

  • From the Pigdog interview:
    • <rands> The idea for jerkcity came from a private chat room that four of us have been hanging out on for ?four? years now.
    • <rands> Yes, each character is "us" and has it's own "characteristics"
    • <rands> Pants does most of the webmastering at this point because he's a PERL WIZARD
    • (et cetera)
  • Much of what deuce says is eerily similar to shit you'd find on ASCII Art Farts, and some even appear to be derived from the same formula: compare [1] with [2]. Further, both strips have many of the same elements - misogyny, homo[pil/phob]ia, capslock, HULALGAGULHUAUL, etc. It follows that deuce is most likely Tran Q. Nguyen (the guy who runs AAF - see [3] and specifically [4])
  • There's simply no way that rands and spigot could ever come up with the amount of dialog that pants and deuce have, AND their own dialog

Yes, I think about this shit way too much. THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW I'M A FAN AND ALSO A FAG --Aurochs (Talk | Block)

  • The ASCII Art Farts website accepts and publishes submissions. Different colors for different farts or ?? (I wanna know what teh hell CALL THE ENCLAVE means.) Bigpoogenerator 05:52, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • You're obviously correct that Deuce and Pants have IRL counterparts. Incidentally, Deuce sometimes mentions being black. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.66.197.66 (talk) 23:07, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jerkcity and Wikipedia

I'm thinking that section either needs a total overhaul or should probably be deleted. And I'm leaning towards the latter. Yes Jerkcity does reference wikipedia a lot, but does that mean that the comic has "negative opinions" about it? Likewise, I don't think it encourages vandalism. Anyway, what are your thoughts.Jsonitsac 21:12, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep it, it's useful, people go directly to it, how else are people gonna find out what the hell it's all about.
Yeah, actually it does have a negative opinion of Wikipedia, because of this - [[5]]. Now, you could obviously construe this as simply a fan adopting the moniker of one of his favorite things, but why then was the user involved in (and quit over) constant edit wars over Rotten links? The close relationship betwene Rotten and Jerkcity is well known, I think that it was in fact one of the creators of Jerkcity taking umbrage at what he felt was stupid policy. What IS certainly untrue is that they promote rumors about Wikipedia admins. FCYTravis's "eccentricities" have become well known thanks to places like Wikitruth. Kade 16:10, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Unfortunately I don't see a smoking gun here. It could also be possible that the JC creators are intentionally trying to provoke wikipedia in order to gain material for their strip. Jsonitsac 19:24, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent repetition

May I please point out that [6] and [7] are moderately alike. That's how I grew out to be the king. --Hautala 18:14, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Or how about [8] and [9] (it's a story told out of order). --Hautala 05:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
