Welcome back, Joe readers!

What you’re looking at right now is what we, borrowing from hacker lingo in the currently trendy fashion, like to call Joe the Circle release candidate 1.0. This is kind of like an actual website, except we’re not particularly confident that it works properly. So we figured that we’d unleash the hoardes of Joe-starved readers upon the site a few days and let them torture-test things before blaring our publicity unto the world. If our php code accidentally wipes out someone’s hard drive, better yours than a CNet.com editor’s, eh? It would be a far, far better thing you’d do.

Anyway. The site is up for public access, and in a few days we will be actually announcing its re-(re)-launch with enough hyperbole to actually break through the bole barrier and become hypoberle. Until then, welcome back, and enjoy the content that’s here!

If you do happen to see anything wrong with the site, please please please pop on over to the Message Board and let us know!

(Except the art of the comic itself. It’s supposed to look like that.)

With pre-hyper-bole,

Alleged Cartoonist Mike
