I want the artist edition! When are they available for pre-order?!

You ever play that Shoot the Moon game as a kid? Damn near impossible!

Oh you!~ <3

Somebody needs to give this guy some pot! He gets way to riled up!

John is so awesome. I want to meet him someday.

My favorite comic in a while, thanks guys...you can see the history of Johnny Wander in this one, from the mug collection to the explosively multiplying spider plants :)

I spot the mug rack in the background. :D

Oh, god! I think this is my favorite Johnism ever. It's awesome!

I also love the little astronaut in the glasses. ^.^

Words to live by

Everyday of your life

John needs to start doing these in Haiku format.

That's what I've been saying! /The moon is closer than the stars./

I love all the people in the comic, but this guy is definitely my favorite.

What a great way to end a long day of school and work. The people sleeping here while I bust out laughing may disagree, though. Thanks!

And is it just like a spur of the moment thing? Do you have to be on your guard for depression and/or fear at any given point when near him?

Finally, a new Johnism, and it's beautiful

NASA, I demand you to make the SPACE CANNON! or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_gun

and shooting people and stuffs to the moon, cowboy style!

But maybe in this comic's case that's a bit too literal? -_-;

I think what I like most is that he apparently said it having just made himself a sandwich. I love the idea that he just came out with this in the middle of the kitchen with no context whatsoever.

Is that Jubal Early floating in his glasses?

Oh John, such an infinite fountain of wisdom.

The tint of the sunglasses and the fact that this allllmost sounds like a one-liner makes me want to shout "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH."

I must one day meet John.

From your comment I misread it as John being an astronaut with glasses. And then the whole strip made me think of Moon, which is a brilliant movie by Zowie Bowie.

Also, LOL.

All that is missing now is Ice Bat. (I'm saying this because I saw an Ice Bat lunchbox this morning, and thought to myself "24 is not too old to carry an awesome lunchbox around... right?")

On a side note, oh man, I totally want to go to Bergen and pick up a copy of the book, BUT I also totally would love the artist edition. You have indeed presented me with a clever little predicament. Do I get win and awesome right away, or wait and go for the gold?

Ugh, decisions.

John, I love you.

We love you terribly..

Can't wait to obtain your book <3

Though, John should get cracking on a book. A book full of Johnisms

Oh, John. :) I just want to give you the biggest hugs! I bet you give great hugs.

I always thought I was the only one who put that much thought into that old saying. Like, seriously. Who believes the stars are between here and the moon?? Jeez.

I'm single.

this is hilarious! Your comics archive link is busted though :( I wanted to look back to see if I've missed any

Oh man... I almost think this should be redone as a poster! xD

...yes. Johnisms are my favorite thing ever. I just wish I knew if he actually says this stuff out of the blue.

We haven't seen Wolf the spider plant in awhile. :D

And since John's new variation of the quote, it sounds better than aiming for the stars. Burning up in nuclear fusion is not the best way to die.

Any chance these books will be signed. I am a sucker for that kind of stuff.

i love you.

though the best johnism is still "you should shoot him where it hurts... anywhere."

Oh John, will there be a chick-fight over you? Where do I sign up?

Reminds me of Miles Vorkosigan novels, where one character says: "Aim for the stars; if you miss, at least you won't blow your foot off."

I don't know if this has been said before, but there totally needs to be Johnism t-shirts. I would buy them all.

I'll second that motion! I would totally buy Johnism t-shirts. Also, if I was a girl, I'd be in love, much like I love Randall Munroe, but alas; 'twas not meant to be.

This has been done before, sort of!

I heart johnisms

I would buy this as a print, John is hilarious. Can't wait for the book!

AAAAA I have this dream all the tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!!!

(Not of John, of floating off into space, to my death!)

Okay, wow. I said something of the same matter back in grade 9.

I saw the motivational strip on the wall, and I got the teacher's attention.

"If you shot for the moon, and missed, and still landed among the stars, you would die. Horribly."

Thanks for the memories!

How much would you charge for a copy signed by everyone in the house with a group picture?

You should make a coffee table book of John saying things.

I thought he was referencing Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, or something. Which he totally could. He doesn't even need Kamina glasses.

I would absolutely buy a poster or print of this!

as either a big poster or a t-shirt. Yes. Definitely. Read this. Take my money. O_o
