Funzietown

Sorry for the delay in the next comic.

I'm working like crazy to get the new hosting software done. It will be used for more than just this website, so I have to take care in how I write it.

I'm hoping that within a couple weeks I can start producing the comic here again. I have the storyline finished in pencil thumbnails, but I need to spend some serious time to translate those into finished products.

So hang tight, and I'll get them coming again as soon as possible!

I'm doing some random comics over in my other blog called jeffaBlog. Thought you might like to check them out.

Why Do I NEED A Kindle?

The blog is random technical topics, humor and occassional comics.

Fair warning: it is NOT intended for children the way Funzietown is. Having said that, I'm basically not a crude person so I doubt you'll ever find anything offensive. Just sayin' it could happen because I don't specifically censor myself over there.

Woo hoo!

Loyal reader Andrew was the first to spot a flower ad on our site! (Read back over the last two blog posts if that made NO sense to you).

Thanks, Andrew!

It would seem that the power of the ALT tag reigns supreme, however. An alt tag is how you specify text for a picture so that people with graphics turned off (or people with screen readers) can tell what is going on.

In the most recent comic the alt text (which I use to put in the dialog from the comic) resulted in lots of ads for stuff like eye-surgery. What fun for a kids comic!

If you want to have a higher chance of seeing a flower ad, go back through some of the older comics and see if you see some ads of a floral nature!

Some days Google Ads does a good job of targeting ads for my site and other days... not so much.

In the most recent comic I mention protecting the character's eyes, so what does Google show for ads? Lasik eye surgery and various places to buy glasses. Of course typing this in the blog will further re-inforce for them that this is in fact an eye-care blog.

Can I win?

How about this: Hey, Google, how about some nice, pretty flowers? You like flowers don't you? I think everyone likes flowers. You know what would go over well? Some ads about flowers.

Let's just see how that goes. You know, with flowers.

In all seriousness I'm not sure I'm going to keep the Google Ads. Several times they have shown ads I didn't like on my site. Unlike ads with pretty, pretty flowers. Those would be nice. I'm sure everyone would be compelled to click ads for flowers. We are all botanists at heart here.

Yep. We love us some flowers and flowering plants around here!

Oh, Google why won't you show ads about flowers on my site?

If you wonder why I want Google to send me flower ads, just read the last blog post.

If only we could learn more about flowers here, our lives would be better.

Roses, gardenias, poppies, or even violets would be welcome.

Yes, the world of flowers is a huge one. And we all love flowers, right?
