When I was growing up (or at least when I was supposed to be), I recall many cartoons, TV shows, and whatever else where a scenario would arise and it would be dealt with in that convenient 30 minutes or less time slot. I know, I know…being an adult now (allegedly), I understand the world doesn’t really work like that and it’s a lot more complicated.

I’ve come to the realization that the people who TRY to be cool are the ones that are usually the most annoying. I think once you give up, and just act yourself people tend to like you. This is something I wish I would have realized in High School, even though if I had I probably wouldn’t be as awesome as I am today. I know some people who try to hard, they are the kinds of people who try to throw jokes in that aren’t that funny, and always agree with everyone. The kind of people you sometimes wish would just shut up.

I’m a comic book nerd, like a totally huge one. My favorite super hero is Green Arrow, and I don’t care what anyone thinks of that. And it’s not just because it’s the Green Arrow, because I really don’t care for Conner, but I love Oliver. I also am an avid hater of Batman. Yes I know most people say that people hate Batman because he is so popular. But I really just don’t like Bruce Wayne, I think he is a dick and not in the way that I tend to like, but in the ‘I really wanna punch this dude in the face’ way.

I miss my horror movies, and I stand by that conviction. But just because of my love for said horror flicks, doesn’t mean Hollywood should go out and remake every single one. Lately I’ve been watching the old ones. I’m not talking Nightmare on Elm Street, Susperia, or Friday the Thirteenth old, I’m talking Frankenstein, Dracula, Phantom of the Opera, Freaks old.

Wherein I meet a big face.
Picking up the Brick Road. What a prick he is.
Back in the habit. Whatever that habit is.
Christ on a Cracker, has it REALLY been a month since my last comic? Man, it’s been a long time since I’ve gone this long without doing one. Well, I figure now is a good of a time as any to catch up with everyone’s favourite warped kids show, The Marvelous Learning Family! I’ll try and keep the comic updates a little closer together next time, ok?
You know who can go fuck a pile of dead Haitians and get the AIDS? The people actually AT the World Cup games this year. Now, I already know what you’re thinking, and you’re partially right, but there’s a lot more to it than just…those people. I’ve been very carefully following the games (not watching at all and mostly checking out memes and things Al Creed posts) and I have plenty to say.

If it’s not obvious by now that I love RPGs, either you’ve not read anything at all I’ve ever written or you have the memory of a gold fish (look it’s a castle!). In any case, yes, I love RPGs. I also love oldschool titles that put RPGs together with other genres WELL. Now, that WELL part is key, obviously, but the most ironic thing is that oldschool titles seem to do it well, but more modern titles…not so much.

This week’s comic is a delightful summary of the 2010 edition of the FIFA World Cup of Football. There have been frequent news articles about the “Vuvuzela,” a particular sound device that South African sports fans are fond of using that has become quite prominent in the television coverage, and talked about by casual sports fans, in place of actual discussion of the games themselves. I, personally, enjoy the FIFA World Cup of Football, as it allows persons like myself, who are not “into” sporting events to discuss sports without having to know too much about what we are talking about. One does not have to explain their preference for a team through confusing parameters such as “Statistics” and “Rosters;” One simply has to state that they share some distant ancestral link to a particular team, and no further questions are necessary. Sometimes, if you name the right team, your inquisitor will buy you an alcoholic beverage! I like Zimas.
The Outbreak… part 3
Welcome back zombie enthusiasts! This is the third and final installment of our three part zombie discussion related to the outbreak phase of a pending zombie apocalypse. Things get a little bizarre in the edition as we speculate about survival tactics, as well as ideal situations. Mind you, nothing is truly ideal in such a scenario…

Gentlemen and things that wish they could be, having children means being subjected to pre-school cartoons. You might think you get the general gist of most toons and might even enjoy a few. In fact, I’d agree with you that some shows, like Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends and various others, are actually fun to watch, even as an adult. Then my mind was raped by “There’s A Party In My Tummy.”

I like the HBO TV show, True Blood. It’s one of the few TV shows the Missus and I watch “as a couple.” It’s a really good show, on the whole; characters, plot and storytelling are well done. However, the only complaint I have is the whose complex Vampire Society” subplot the show has going on. When I was growing up, there were no Vampire kings and territories and laws on how to be a Vampire. Vampires just did what they wanted to, whenever they wanted to do it. Now we have Vampire Ombudsmen and Vampire Laws governing treatment of humans and Vampire blood trafficking. It’s still better than Twilight though; the main points of being a Vampire (Drinking Blood, avoiding Sunlight and such) are still respected.
This comic is particularly special, as it is the first I have drawn on my fancy new Netbook! The Windows 7 version of MS Paint has some new fancy brushes and shit I will try out in later comics.
While the news is calling it a mere 5.0. Richter scale earthquake… residents of Ottawa, and Montreal are reporting seeing a massive fat man delivering a running seated senton to the ground for no apparent reason.

The Outbreak… part 2
Welcome back zombie enthusiasts! We’ve returned, but we are not the undead. We are those who discuss the phenomenon known as the zombie. And we are about to pick up where we left off.

I know I have already done a comic about my disdain for the World Cup of Soccer. However, since the World Cup of Soccer has started, I have noticed two funny trends: 1) The increase of Car Flags, and 2) The increase of resentment for people who have Car Flags.
