Slow Week

Comics will be few and far between this week. This is one of my last weeks of normal school up at the community college, and as such, lots of time will be eaten up by last-minute school cramming. But, I will be making use of what free time I DO have to get a few weeks of EPIC material planned, so that the comic moves more smoothly as the Christmas holiday begins! Woo!

Boba Is Sarcastic About The News (1)

(Click To Enlargify)

Ugh. I was listening to news radio all day in the truck while I was out n about for Black Friday. The news would NOT SHUT UP ABOUT THIS. Really, CBS? REALLY? People are dying, superhero vigilantes are running loose in Seattle, North Korea is firing on innocent targets, and we're going to spend all our time talking about how Obama got hurt playing sports? A mention would have been fine. But repeatedly? EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR!?

Battle Time (Klaxons Pt 6)

For those of you that love the bygone days of Gameboy, I highly recommend reading the first page and a half whilst filling you ears with this:



For the Final Fantasy Fans, this is definitely going to be more your thing.

So there we have it.

Sometime over the weekend, I'll put up some clips of the songs that are going in the background in the series, just so those of you who've never even heard of Klaxons can get in on the bodacity.

A Few Oldies

This was the first comic of this style that I actually finished. I started the style during the summer of '09, while working at a Boy Scout summer camp. Those comics have yet to be inked, and some of them got outright ruined and I'd have to redo them from scratch.

According to the filename date, I did this on January 10th, so almost a year ago. I didn't really know where I was going with it, I just knew that at the time, driving terrified me.

I did this one the following day. It's funny, because initially, it was just Boba standing there for 2 frames, getting bonked in the head, and then scowling. The dialog came about 2 hours AFTER I made it, after actually playing a game of dodgeball.

I soon decided that I was not cut out for political humor.

I created this one so that people could differentiate the expressions. It was kinda a joke, since they still kinda look the same.

I'll post the original Cassie comics sometime later, if she'll let me. They were kinda awkward.

Uh... Turkey... or Something?

So my producer JUST told me like 3 hours ago that the network wanted a Thanksgiving episode. It's really lousy to treat your creative staff like that. I mean, if you ever find yourself as a producer or manager, be kinder. Don't interrupt someone's massive room-cleaning project to remind them they still have to do a flippin' comic about flippin' TURKEYS. I HATE TURKEYS except with lettuce, tomato, bacon, and provolone cheese on a sammich with light mayo and basic yellow mustard... maybe some onion for good measure and maximum un-kiss-ability. Not that that's something I have to worry about, being single and unexposed to situations in which that sort of thing may happen. And even if that did happen, I would eat onions because I FLIPPIN' LOVE THEM. Seriously, onion is like the best leaf vegetable ever. Did you know that's what it is? It's a leaf. Crazy, I know. So if a human of the female variety so decided to lay one on me, she'd have to be prepared for an onion adventure. That would say a lot about her character. If she were willing to weather the onion breath, then perhaps she sees deeper, past the mask and Klaxons band tee to the inner core of awesome. Now... hang on a sec, we were talking about turkey. Where's the turkey!?

Lame, I know. I'll make it worth your while! Soon, we will have the epic face-off between Scene Kid and Hipster, and for the REAL Thanksgiving stuff, I'll post up some classic comics from the months before I started Bl.O.O.P. officially. Sounds like a sweet deal worthy of BLACK FRIDAY, HUH!?

Stuff

So, like, you know. I didn't like post today or anything, you know, so like, I just wanted to like let you know that like, there won't be an episode tomorrow either, but like, I'll be back on Tuesday.

Oh my gosh it hurts to type like that. I have no idea why I did.

Anyway, Thanksgiving week should wrap up the Klaxons gig storyline, after which we'll delve into some older material (pre-Blog era), or maybe take a look at Shopping Adventures with Taylor, or even discuss in detail what it means to be a gunfighter. I'm sure you're all wondering how that could actually apply to life, right? Well, it's quite simp- no, no, if I explain now, that'll take all the fun out of it for later.

Unrelated:

People who love me and stuff should totally mail me these items in the guise of Christmas presents:

Batman: The Animated Series DVDs
Teeshirts (Batman, Hellboy, Star Wars, Star Trek, whatever)
Starbucks gift cards
Gas cards
Subway gift cards
The Domino Pattern by Timothy Zahn
DC Universe 3 ¾” figures (a Joker, Batman, or other related characters would be cool)
Gift cards to various places I might like to spend money on clothes or whatnot.
A Russian Mail-Order Bride. Actually, disregard. I'd rather get an American by my own merits.

So yeah. Anyway. I hate Mondays.

BUT IT'S SO IRONIC (Klaxons Part 2)

The adventure continues.

Chop Suey (Klaxons Part I)

So back in October, Taylor contacted me to tell me that our friend Jordan had a lead on a Klaxons gig in Seattle. Klaxons, to those of you who do not know, is a British rock band that is known for seemingly nonsensical lyrics and subject material, rave influences, and psychedelic production styles.

Seeing them live was like... Magick.

A lot of weird things happened at Chop Suey that night...

The place was so full of hipsters that it was almost unbearable. And then there was this guy...

Infinitely Reducible: The Empire Strikes Back

(Click To Enlargify)

The idea of Infinite Irreducibility is a scientific principle frequently used in support of Creationism that goes on the idea that living organisms are so complex, that if you attempted to remove even the smallest cellular system from the genome, it would no longer function. That's just in a nut shell, really, but that should give you and idea.

On the far opposite is Infinite Reducibility. As much as you take away, the result still has a similar affect. Don't believe it? I just proved it.

Meet Barney

Meet Barney. Barney is a dinosaur from my imagination. This particular dinosaur (or dragon, as he insists he is) doesn't do crafts, and he doesn't play games. He's just drinks soda, acts extremely cynical and pops up when I least want his company. And my parents blame ME for the empty fridge packs...

Proportions Are Overrated...

"I'm still going to have a life, though, right?"

"Life is relative. Would you still have a social life? Of course. It would be different, but you'd still have that. Would you still have family and friends? Of course! Would your heart still beat, and your brain still wave? As long as you avoid the psychoactive substances at the after-party."

"Fine, fine... way to get literal."

"I wasn't being literal. I was just blowing it out of proportion."

Where does this all come from? To answer in short (which means I'll figure out a way to drag it on forever anyway), I am a drama queen. King. Whatever. The most perfect form of humor as I see it is the art of exaggeration. Taking things one step farther. Ignoring the facts and replacing them with something far greater, something far more interesting. In a sense, blowing things out of proportion.

WATCH THIS SPACE! Starting in the next week, my sister and I will begin publishing our comics here on this blog! Watch for great titles such as my Blown Out Of Proportion, and my sister's brilliant Important Things and Used Cat!

I'm pretty excited.
