I really enjoy reading your comics and seeing your take on life. You really have a good way about you. You seem to pick up on the goodness (and badness) of the small things in life that many of us might just walk past without a second thought.
Thanks for the entertaining way you have and are opening my eyes to the world around us.
By the way, I’m a conservative Republican.

I actually quite enjoy the Amtrak pizzas. I’m wondering what this says about how I’d feel about making out with 18-year-old goth kids.
November 13th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
jfruh: I think it means you actually have to marry one, and accept one of their many plumbing supply rings.

The very best thing about the Obama election has been the (somewhat) renewed interest in volunteering and community service. Hopefully it will result in a lot more people pitching in to help, cuz itll take a a lot more than one president to get us out of the mess we’re in. Sorry for plugging do-gooderness here, but if every fartparty reader loaned 20 bucks on kiva.org it would be another great band-aid. Plus you get your money back in the end. What do you have to lose???

*bollocks. And sorry to be the grammar Nazi here, but it’s received. I before E except after C…most of the time.

I think it’s dangerous to put all of your faith in one person.
November 13th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
I agree though the people I know who worked hard to get Obama elected would be a great force to get something else accomplished.

Philadelphia is home to two things:
1) One of the premier NPR regimes in the country, with a top-flight news/information station and the alternative music provider for basically 3/4 of PA and a decent chunk of Maryland/Delaware.
2) Knuckle tattoo people that will make out with you on a train, no matter how cheap your whiskey is.

Hey Julia,
Obama isn’t a band-aid. He’s a media-puppet/corporate whore financed by the ethanol lobby (which profits from slave labor in subsaharan africa).
Write a comic strip about That.
as ever,
Jacob

Dude, if he’s a corporate whore, explain why he’s the first candidate fund his presidential transition team without a cent from corporate lobbyists. He’s no Messiah, but to say that he’s a slave to monied interests is asinine.
But why am I even bothering to respond? Cats like you are as hip, insightful, and witty as this Amtrak employee I met a few weeks ago. He had knuckle tattoos, two lip piercings, a book full of awful poetry, and kept talking about this scruffy, cute chick he made out with on an east-bound train to New York….

Oh give me a break Jacob, every politician has some sort of bad connection somewhere. You might as well say that we all are adding to that problem. By using products made from sweat shops in some 3rd world country using 4 year olds. It could be the very keyboard you are using which i doubt was made in your home town or any town in the US. Or your Mp3 player or your flat screen tv. Maybe its those nikes you are wearing or the SUV you drive… i can go on and buddy. but we all add to the problem somewhere. And McCain loss because he ran with Sarah Palin and Joe the freakin plumber.
November 13th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
and because he an old fart!
November 13th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Maybe it was Joe the plumber’s son! That would explain the rings.
This is going to be Julia’s favorite comments thread ever.

Julia,
I highly disagree on your view of both candidates. I’ve been behind McCain for 8 years now, and he would have been a much better choice. Unfortunately, Americans are so hellbent on “being different” (read: change), that they’d rather ignore the policies of BOTH candidates and just vote for whichever one is the most “interesting.” And before you argue with me, what’s the FIRST thing you posted about Obama in your comic? Case in point.
Btw, grats on your Hep C.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
phrozt- I didn’t make out with his bloody notebook, you fucking dumbass. It would have been much more appropriate to crack a herpes joke or something. Do i have to do everything around here? geeez
November 13th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
When’s your next train trip?
November 13th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Let’s see:
- Plays with blood
- Is a cutter
- Has lots of tattoos
- Given the shittiness of the tats, I’m guess they were done in less than clean places.
- Probably does drugs (I’m guessing coke, x at least a couple times, possibly acid, and possibly meth)
- Most likely into S&M
- Wouldn’t be at all surprised if he’s done some suspension
Chances of him having hep C: Decently high.
Add in the lip rigs which cause undue stress on lips, gums and any other part of the mouth, plus rigorous drunken makey outeyness.
Chances of you getting (and now having) hep C: moderately high enough to make a hep C joke.
November 13th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
well, it happened a year ago, and I’m just fine. You, on the other hand, need a better way to spend your time. Removing that stick up your ass might take a good five minutes, so hop to it!
November 13th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
I agree. I wish he does the best he can, but there is a LOT to make better.
November 13th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
man, i just know that someday, somewhere out there, lies my insane 18-year old masochist… that sounds like something I would do, what’s life without the really, really regrettable experiences? : ) go obama.
November 13th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
To whom it may concern (GRANT & GDHP)
The following is a quote from this “newspaper” called the New York Times.
“Many of these large donors come from industries with interests in Washington. A New York Time analysis of donors who wrote checks of $25,000 or more to the candidates’ main joint fundraising committees found, for example, the biggest portion of money for both candidates came from the securities and investments industry, including executives at various firms embroiled in the recent financial crisis like Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and AIG.”
That’s from the October 21st, 2008 edition (VOL. CLVIII…. N. 54,470).
So I guess Barack Obama HAS taken more than a penny from “corporate lobbyists”… so I guess I was accurate when I described him as a corporate whore…
Perhaps some people voted for a candidate they forgot to research. A cursory glance at Obama’s political “rise to power” reveals strong connections to Archer Daniels Midland.
Use “WIKIPEDIA” or “GOOGLE” to come up with the human rights violations and flat-out slavery associated with Archer Daniels Midland.
P.S. I REALLY REALLY LIKE FART PARTY. YAY JULIA ! !
November 13th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
(typo: GDHP = JDHP)… sorry I wasn’t really trying…..
November 13th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
how about not really trying on your own fucking blog?
November 13th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
You got it, Julia…. Sorry. I misunderstood the nature of this particular blog. I wont post again (after this).
P.S. I just mailed you a comic present for Fart Party’s birthday… should be there in a couple days.
P.P.S. Sorry.
November 13th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
holy shit, Julia, look what You’ve done! hahaha….
but seriously, I agree with You 100%.
while I still get a little emotional at that “Yes We Can” video, I also worry about people blindly accepting Obama as some kind of messiah. i like the guy, but come on…
“…like farting to cover up the smell of an eight year turd.”
“Obama is a band-aid on the gaping wound of America where as McCain would have been salt.”
^ two incredibly poignant (if somewhat humourous) statements…I keep finding more and more reasons to love You and Your comic.
November 13th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
what’s the point of writing under an alias if you reveal yourself a few days later?
November 13th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
wow, seriously…the third panel is just fucking beautiful. I like that “douche bags” are included in the list of ominous words…
I reposted this with due credit and a link back to here…I hope that’s okay. Lemme know if I need to take it down:

Even more fun than just a bandaid on a gushing gash! Think of all the fun and extra bastard points that’ll be a huge added bonus to racist jokes now. It’ll not only be easier to make enemies but also to be attacked by the secret service. Now that’s a night on the town. Not that I crack racist jokes, I just er. Ok well sometimes but only in the interest of crossing the line when it needs to be crossed.
…and holy crap - the train ride? You’re such a goober. Reminds me of a classic quote by, I think George Shaw to the effect of; the more mistakes a man makes, the more respectable he is. But in this case we can replace man and he with person and she. Since there seems to be a alot of replacements lately I guess it fits.
Funny combining an “embarrasing” story and politics in a post just begging for all the a-holes to barf all over the comments.
November 13th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
jacobs- because using an alias is funny to me. also, so my mom can’t google my name and come up with a story like that.
maggie- post away, I dont mind!
November 13th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Almost forgot; since it’s substitution or replacement day: douchebag = douchenozzle.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Phrozt, just some advice, accusing people with whom you disagree of having blood born infections does not help you make a political point. It makes you look like a tasteless idiot. And also - what part of your Hep C commentary was a “joke”? Cause it sure wasn’t fucking funny.
Btw, grats on being a total douchebag. Apologies - douchenozzle.
November 13th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Wait, that doesn’t stand up as a joke on it’s own? Shit, so much for my new knock-knock joke:
Knock knock
Who’s there?
I’m Holden
I’m Holden who?
I’m Holden Caulfield, everyone’s a phoney corporate whore, and enjoy your Hep C!
November 14th, 2008 at 1:37 am
Dear Julia,
I basically love you (not in the creepy stalker way… more the platonic gay man honoring you from afar way). Thanks for the great comics and amusing tales! I’m with you on the reserved enthusiasm. Woot for Obama. Now lets see if hes a good little maid and can save the day…
(insert cheesy tag line about how you should keep fartpartying because it brightens my day)
Kudos to you!
-James
November 14th, 2008 at 1:38 am
God, it must suck to have everything you do picked apart. I thought the story was hilarious (yay for cradle robbing!), and STDs didn’t even cross my mind. The nom de plume has a tres sophisticated ring to it.
November 14th, 2008 at 9:13 am
Julia, you know what i wish… I wish you would tell me what the secret thing you are working on. I really want to know. And when is that person from the 20 Cartoon Questions blog gonna have you on there? They just did your pal Sarah Glidden. When will they as me?
November 14th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Luckily, Obama is going to cure hep C and herpes. He’ll also make internet trolls go away (I can dream can’t I?).
I laughed in shock and awe at the Vice story. Anonymous drunken snogging, in itself, doesn’t have much shock value for me, but the way you told it was fantastic. I’d love to see more stories.
Also, I want to get a lip rig. Then if I tire of walking I can just drive around on my face. Though that might put undue stress on my gums.
November 14th, 2008 at 11:30 am
Why did you put the douchebags in the midwest? I thought Williamsburg was their home base?
November 14th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Zoe- yeah, it would suck having everything I do picked apart on the internet if people weren’t usually so far from the truth that I simply find it amusing. If I’d actually caught something from that guy, do you think I’d write about it on the internet? hell no! but people love to assume, and it keeps me entertained between reading boring news reports and checking my email.
JDHP- I answered Austin’s 20 questions thing but he doesn’t put them all up at once. I’ll link it when he does. As for my secret things, well, I want to keep them the hell off of the internet but I’ll post about it when they’re finished.
November 14th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
This doesn’t really have to do with this comic but it’s the most recent so I figure you are more likely to read this.
Your numerous self deprecating comments about your looks/life are funny, but coming from an (I hope) well rounded, decent, good looking, 18 year old man you look totally hot in all your photos, and you seem like a thoughtful creative and fun individual.
I like your comics a lot, and thank you for making them, just don’t get down on yourself so much*. I sincerely hope that your self hate is mostly a comedic tool, because it appears to be unfounded
PS I don’t think I know everything about you for some reason because I read your comic, this is just my opinion, hope you like it.
* unless its really funny/writers block
November 14th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Whoops, also this comic is the shit, not funny so much as a legit idea that should be propagated, keep up the good work.
November 14th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
18 huh? no wonder you’re so easily fooled.
November 15th, 2008 at 10:25 am
I like the fart to hide the smell of an eight year turd. Poetry. I’m reading this on the toilet! Yay technology and so many long winded comments! Remember when you said you didn’t read in the toilet? And I drew you speed shitting on the toilet? I love that story.
November 15th, 2008 at 10:56 am
I still maintain that reading on the toilet is gross and unnecessary. either you’re there to shit, or you don’t have to, so you shouldn’t be on the toilet. And aaron, if you’re reading this on the toilet, that means your on your iphone while dumping, which is even worse! I’m going to set the record for the world’s fastest shitter and I’ll use that drawing as my bio pic
November 15th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
I want to move to America and eat organic granola and watch as Obama changes everything solar powered and fueled by love…even though I’m Canadian, I’m not immune to the hope addiction. In fact, Canadians are the worst ones of all. Pretty soon you guys will be just like us…with your free health care…and your social assistance…pshaw!
November 15th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
O-M-G!!!!! I just read that link!! You didn’t did you?? *amazed*
November 16th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
I feel the exact same way you do about this, and it makes me happy.
November 18th, 2008 at 10:58 am
Clearly, the hep C joke was in reference to my political views. I’m glad that someone FINALLY made the parallel between the two.
… WTF is up with some people?
