I've struggled with this since day one. Early on I settled for "Geek Comic" because it was short, simple and true. Now I feel it doesnt properly communicate to a new reader what HE is about.
I have themes in mind, but no taglines or slogans are jumping out at me. Here are the ideas I want to get across:
geeks
fandom
humor
comic
More specific:
Obsessive fandom
geeking for the sake of geekery
geek culture
geek community
"the geek shall inherit the earth" and similar ideals
I want to downplay:
tech
computers
gaming
Because, while partially accurate, I dont think those ideas communicate HE very well.
A while back, I came up with the term "fanuerysm" and havent really used it. I wouldnt mind integrating that into the tagline. Something like "HijiNKS Ensue gave me a faneurysm" or "Just beyond fandom, there's faneurysm" (which doesnt make sense, but you see where Im going)
Please post your ideas with the knowledge that I need something that will go well on TShirts, the banner of the site, promo materials, etc.
Thanks!
Joel

Like Shakespeare but with tacos!
'A geektastic interweb funsplosion'
' fanuerysm guaranteed'
'better laughing through geekery'
...and those are why i don't work in advertising.
I'm leaning toward something like
"Caution: Over Geeking May Lead to Faneurysm"
but that doesnt really roll off the tongue. The idea is right but the wording is muddy.
"High Geek Levels are the Leading Cause of Faneurysm"
playing around with what people have already suggested
"Caution: Geekery is a leading cause of fanuerysm-Read Hijinks Ensue, part of the problem."
hmmm... to long still.
"Hijinksensue the final fantier"
Man, this is hard. I never thought coming up with a witty line to advertise a web-comic frequented by disturbed Mighty Orbots fans would be so challenging.
