In psychiatry, the clinical term frotteurism (no longer called frottage) refers to a specific paraphilia which involves the non-consensual rubbing against another person to achieve sexual arousal.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:drulk@thineappellation.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://thineappellation.com/liquor/sig.png" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;

	&lt;b&gt;Comics are stupid&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;
	&lt;img src="http://thineappellation.com/images/blacklineaa.png" align="left" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;		 
Comics is a graphic medium in which words and images are utilised in order to convey a narrative. Comics can contain little or no words, and consist of one or more images, which may either illustrate or counterpoint  the text to affect greater depth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Although historically the form dealt with humorous subject matter, its scope has expanded to encompass the full range of literary genres.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:drulk@thineappellation.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://thineappellation.com/liquor/sig.png" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;

	&lt;b&gt;Headline&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;
	&lt;img src="http://thineappellation.com/images/blacklineaa.png" align="left" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;		 
Your article should include a headline, introduction, body, conclusion and resource box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Headline - make this as catchy as possible because your reader will read this first then decide if he or she will continue reading the rest of the article. i.e.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
"7 Highly Effective Ways to Gain Instant Traffic to Your Web Site".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Introduction - introduce the problem you will be discussing in your article or write a short story of your experience with the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Body - discuss all the solutions to the problem you outlined in the introduction. Break up each point into separate paragraphs and keep them to about 5 lines. You may want to create a sub-heading for each point. This makes it easier to read as most people will scan your article when reading it online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Conclusion - this should include a brief summary of your article and a call for the reader to take action. i.e. "Be sure to include article marketing as one of the top strategies for promoting your web site. It's a self generating marketing machine that produces a constant flow of visitors".&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:drulk@thineappellation.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://thineappellation.com/liquor/sig.png" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Some parts are OK, some parts are badly done.  The car looks good in panel three, and I'm coming to terms with shading and coloring again.  And I changed the way the words are written again!  Haha!  It never ends.  No wonder no-one's here!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Ordered Karous for the Dreamcast, can't wait for some more shoot em up action to arrive.  The need for lasers and little ships in space goes in phases, and I'm at the beginning of it now, so prepare for a while of this stuff.  Hehe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I spent a while trying to draw that car from a picture, and then just tried drawing it from scratch and found out it looked far better.  Sure, I'm no Chip Foose, but it'll do.  You can tell what it is, and that's good enough for me.  The layout is almost perfected!  It is far better than Friday's shambolic appearance!  Hurrah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.buzzcomix.net/in.php?id=Stefan"&gt;Bonus comic out of your areolas!&lt;/a&gt;  Yes!  It contains a smaller car, with more angles!  I'll be hired as a car designer yet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you hadn't noticed, I quite like shoot 'em ups, or shmups to the more elite crowd.  I found one this weekend, Warning Forever, a free download which is mostly taking up my time due to it being awesome.  &lt;a href="http://www18.big.or.jp/~hikoza/Prod/index_e.html"&gt;I recommend you download and play it&lt;/a&gt;, should you not have already.  It's a few years old, so I'm kind of late to party.  Fashionably late to the party?  Maybe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Big dumpy farts.  OK, back to the game!  Bye bye!&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:drulk@thineappellation.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://thineappellation.com/liquor/sig.png" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;

A note to smarter minds than I; don't attempt to cut the bristles on your main inking instrument when getting a replacement would take weeks.

<description>&lt;a href="http://thineappellation.com/_.php?comicID=141"&gt;More things go over Drake's head than an airport. - click to see comic (YAHOO)&lt;/a&gt;
  
	&lt;b&gt;Oops!  There it is!&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;
	&lt;img src="http://thineappellation.com/images/blacklineaa.png" align="left" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;		 
Hey, look at this mess!  I drew it a bit small, but surpisingly it inked OK.  Perhaps I didn't need to draw as big as I thought I did.  Good.  Alhough a l'il bit bigger would be good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
READERS, I NEED YOUR CORRESPONDANCE!  As the compressing system goes, I apply a few filters to get my lines nicely black and crisp.  Well, on MY monitor anyway.  How do the comics look on yours?  Is it all pixelly?  It is nice and clear?  Is it a hodge podge of murky colours and shades?  I need your eyes and monitor analysis!  &lt;a href="mailto:drulk@thineappellation.com"&gt;E-mail address is here&lt;/a&gt;, and, should you not have noticed, the Autsa in the sig is clickable with the address.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Also, should anything else be wrong that you feel like mentioning, should you e-mail at all, and should there be anything missing in general (FAQ, info about other things...you tell me) I shall heed your advice.  Possibly stop titting about with the art is top of the list, I assume.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
NO BONUS COMIC TODAY, because I am a slob.  I'm sorry!  Keep an eye on the site, and there'll be one tomorrow instead.  It'll be a nice big page of a bonus, to make up for me being dumb.  &lt;a href="http://www.buzzcomix.net/in.php?id=Stefan"&gt;If you vote anyway, for no real incentive other than to help my malnourished comic up the list&lt;/a&gt;, then I will be glad.  But if not, then I will understand, and will await your clicks tomorrow.  KEEP 'EM PEELED.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dats 'bout it.  Erm.  OK, FRIDAY.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:drulk@thineappellation.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://thineappellation.com/liquor/sig.png" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;

	&lt;b&gt;Drawing comics!&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;
	&lt;img src="http://thineappellation.com/images/blacklineaa.png" align="left" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;		 
Where did the speech bubbles go?  Why's there no backgrounds for the panels apart from no. 1?  Why am I happy with pretty much all the art in all the pictures?  God only knows, and he ain't telling.  He's kinda of smirkin' at me really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.buzzcomix.net/in.php?id=Stefan"&gt;Bonus comic what up&lt;/a&gt; (OOPS MESSED UP THE LINK, CLICK AGAIN FOR IT TO WORK), and it's kind of weird.  It has no bearing on the world of Thine Appellation, and is a comic page I did experimenting with the no speech bubbles thing.  It worked, I think.  I'll let you astute dukes be the judges of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Been getting back into shumps as of late, especially Psyvariar 2.  The main system of scoring in the game, should you not know, is getting close to enemy bullets fired at you, or "buzzing" them.  To keep buzzing bullets is to build up a combo, thus massive points awarded to you, the buzzee, and an addictive habit forms quick.  From beginning to end, the game is probably ten minutes long (if that), but I haven't completed it yet.  Only a friend of mine has, and that was a pretty tense thing to watch.  Short games, but they're goddamn intense to play, and it's all about getting the high score.  I recommend playing it if you can get it, although it is cheaper to get it for the PS2 than the Dreamcast (which I got a copy for, and seems to have almost no features bar "play game").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I might go play some more.  CIAO.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:drulk@thineappellation.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://thineappellation.com/liquor/sig.png" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;

	&lt;img src="http://thineappellation.com/images/blacklineaa.png" align="left" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;		 
Wow, that's pretty much  the end of this storyline.  And it seems to mostly make sense, from its beginnings back in &lt;a href="http://thineappellation.com/_.php?comicID=116"&gt;January&lt;/a&gt;.  Have a read through and give me an e-mail, tell me if it's coherent to you.  Strange, seeing as it was mostly made up on the fly!  The best story I done yet, and a sign of weirdness to come mark my words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And I didn't vomit from inking mistakes or anything like that.  Might have been the best thing I've inked in a while.  What a nice note to go into the weekend with!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://girlyyy.com"&gt;And read Girly&lt;/a&gt;, a comic about guys.  Haha fooled you it's about girls!  The look on your faces hehe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I've been practicing my self-promotion techniques.  Here goes: Thine Appellation is a hilarious webcomic packed full of innovation and excitement, updating three times a week!  It sometimes makes people laugh, who then pretend they didn't and feel embarassed about it!  Come read the best comic on the internet that contains the word Thine in the title!  Tell you friends about this stonking stinker of a comic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
How was that?  You motivated to read more now?  Excellent!  &lt;a href="http://www.buzzcomix.net/in.php?id=Stefan"&gt;Vote here bitches and get your free comic&lt;/a&gt;, you silent barstewards.  Sling yer 'ook!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I'm also testing new News post techniques, you blobs of rotten vaseline.  Do you feel good about yourselves, looking like a fistfight between two piles of old bricks in a blender?  Good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
OK, that's about it, fart bags.  MONDAY MONDAY AFTER SUNDAY&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:drulk@thineappellation.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://thineappellation.com/liquor/sig.png" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Yeah, it's all go.  Exciting stuff.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It's &lt;a href="http://girlyyy.com"&gt;Girly&lt;/a&gt; week, where all Girlytans link back to &lt;a href="http://girlyyy.com"&gt;Girly&lt;/a&gt;, a funny comic about the cutest goils you'll ever see.   Sure, I have a link to Girly on the front of my site, and only have a handful of readers to send that way, but hopefully you guys are of such quality you'll be judged to be better than the other people who have gone to Girly.  Come on guys!!  Be the best link clickers you can be, and destroy the competition!  Let's take them on!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.buzzcomix.net/in.php?id=Stefan"&gt;Is this a bonus comic?&lt;/a&gt;  For you?  How wondrous.  Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
