I regard it as an eye-opening insight into the real life of owls.  I
suppose these must be urban owls - and they've a much more varied life
than I'd imagined...

I think it's great.  But I was particularly impressed when I clicked the
Colin The Owl link and it said "You have found Colin's webpage, you
clever monkey!"  How did it know?  What does it say for you guys?

STM - not very happy with the monkey torture bit though

Hi, glad someone likes it anyway! I was going to post one episode a
day until I've run out, maybe it's not worth it now if you've all seen
the site?  Ah whatever, I'll probably do it anyway.

In response to your comment about not getting it, you're not the only
one!  It is, in fact, a documentary series as correctly surmised by
one of you (sorry about not using your names, I can't be bothered to
go back and check).

The 'humour' (which, I have been told by those in the know, is
questionable at best) is basically ripped off from the old Digitiser
style - the now dead teletext games magazine on Channel 4 (UK).  If
you enjoyed that, you'll hopefully enjoy my stuff. But don't get your
hopes up too much please, or you'll end up coming here to tell me I'm
rubbish and I'll cry. Again.

Thank youse!

Well, I started to look at the Colin The Owl episodes, but as soon as I
realised that there was new stuff on the web site I stopped looking.  I
assumed that you'd be posting them all in here sooner or later, and I
didn't want to spoil the surprise :-)

OK, I'll keep going then - thanks!

Also, do you like Derren Brown's School Days?  Should I put them here
too?  I don't want to seem like a shameless self-promoting bastard, I
just want people to have a look!  I'm new here, not sure where 'the
line' is.

I used to read Digitiser.

Go ahead - for most comics there seems to be an audience and we won't
mind another comic.  The newsgroup seemed to be a bit slow lately.  If
people don't like it, they can just skip over it, can't they? ;-)

Derren Browns School Days aren't as funny as CTO, but still humorous
none the less.  Didn't you post a couple of them a few months back
though?  I'm sure I recognised some of them.  The link up with CTO in
one of the episodes was good :-)

In terms of where the line is, if you mean taste wise, then I doubt
you'll ever cross the line whilst Tran is still able to type!  He does
offend a lot of people, but once they know how to killfile him, then
it's not a problem any more.  And if CTO can do the same, then at least
you're getting a reaction from people too!

You've hit 'the line' when Tran re-releases one of the CTO strips.

Huh?  Hi, is that good or bad?
