I thought it was pretty funny, and I've never seen a single episode of Buffy, Angel, or Firefly. posted by danb at 8:27 AM on January 6, 2008
Why Henry, you're just a squirrel then. Which you won't get, because you'd rather snuff yourself then read them. (And felt compelled to share that with us, for some unfathomable reason.)
Very funny stuff. The description of the saddest song ever is something I will treasure. With a little tear in my eye. posted by John Smallberries at 8:34 AM on January 6, 2008

Easily the best thing he's ever done. Though that's not saying much. posted by dobbs at 9:03 AM on January 6, 2008
I was not prepared for the slavepipe hat. I will say that much.
And I too appreciated the description of the saddest song in the world. Passages like that in fiction need to be called out more, so well done sir. posted by jinjo at 9:09 AM on January 6, 2008
Okay, now that was fun.
One question... where would I go to find out when the next one comes out? If, for instance, I wasn't into the whole Myspace thing? posted by MrVisible at 9:10 AM on January 6, 2008

I've read two issues. These are impossibly fun. Now to read issue three and be out of comics. posted by EatTheWeak at 9:16 AM on January 6, 2008
That was intense. Joss Whedon seems to have endless supply of teenage girls in his head spouting random things. I don't know if that is a curse or a blessing. posted by Free word order! at 10:24 AM on January 6, 2008 [6 favorites has favorites]

It was only intended to be 3 issues to kick off Dark Horse Presents on MySpace. Of course there's always a possibility they'll decide to do more later, but no other issues are expected. Scott Allie (Dark Horse editor) did an interview with Newsarama about the new incarnation of Dark Horse Presents.
I tend to like Whedon's stuff, and I definately liked that. posted by sotonohito at 11:32 AM on January 6, 2008
I just, 15 minutes ago, finished the last episode of Buffy with my girlfriend. And now this... Joss is speaking to me, I know it... posted by willie11 at 11:34 AM on January 6, 2008

The last squirrel I met had a nut, was convinced that my posterior had to move, and kept pushing me toward the dance floor. posted by thanotopsis at 11:40 AM on January 6, 2008 [1 favorite has favorites]
Er... this isn't a web comic at all. It's a comic book on the web.
There's a world of difference.
This may be the single nerdiest thing anyone has ever said on Metafilter. Congratulations! posted by kittens for breakfast at 1:41 PM on January 6, 2008

I was prepared to not like this, but c'mon how much of a grouch do you have to be to dislike something that contains a robot saying "dude, gwar fell on your car"? posted by juv3nal at 3:03 PM on January 6, 2008
That was pretty great. Thanks! posted by graventy at 4:47 PM on January 6, 2008

All evidence suggests no.
I think the existence of this little web-based wonder can be credited to the fact that he got the go-ahead on his Next Big TV Project (starring Eliza Dushku) about two hours before the Writers Strike started and hasn't done anything with it since. So, to keep his creative muscle from atrophying, we get Sugarshock. I'm supporting the Strike even more now. posted by wendell at 4:55 PM on January 6, 2008
that really didn't seem overly joss whedony to me, except that it was sci-fi and it kicked ass. thanks! posted by es_de_bah at 8:26 PM on January 6, 2008

Actually Sugarshock had already been published (July-October 07) when FOX ordered episodes of Dollhouse. So he'd most likely written all of Dollhouse before he and Eliza Dushku even started talking about ideas for a tv show.
Sleep is where Joss is a Viking.
That's the new supersecret WGA tactic for the picket lines, actually: replacing the writers with literal Vikings. posted by Tehanu at 8:47 PM on January 6, 2008

Actually, Dollhouse arose out of a dinner conversation between Joss and Eliza. If I recall correctly, he's written the pilot and has the stories for the other six episodes they've ordered, but that's it. posted by theonetruebix at 8:58 PM on January 6, 2008

Original statement is valid only within a deluxe model of reality with special time-traveling and disbelief-suspending features that allow you to write a show before you pitch a show. Which means all Joss Whedon characters, but not Joss Whedon. posted by Tehanu at 9:00 PM on January 6, 2008
Sugarshock - that's where she's a viking! posted by ooga_booga at 10:52 PM on January 6, 2008

I think that's why I liked.
Dialogue was actually funny. Plot wasn't ridiculously simplistic. And it had a bit of originality to it. Quite unWhedony. posted by P.o.B. at 2:26 AM on January 7, 2008
Whedon doing a Nextwave (minus the continuity in-joke there) = me likey.
delmoi : The Dialog sounds like it was written on drugs.
To which I naturally have to respond:
The Dialog sounds like it was written on drugs!! Awesome!
I liked it, but as someone who lives by the words of Happy Noodle Boy, I enjoy a good non-sequitur. posted by quin at 1:19 PM on January 7, 2008
