I’m going to change my lay-out soon. Resizing my work for the sake of being neat is making my lettering suffer. Sad face. How’re you all liking the size? Have my strips been easy or hard to read? Thoughts please!
By the way, I misspelled Jjamppong <: )
Hi all! It’s been awhile hasn’t it?
I’m really sorry for all the blips. I just came back from the Subic Ad Congress and survived 3 days without any internet access or my sketchpad. Still, I must admit; it was a total BLAST. I’ve got a LOT to share, and a ton of stories to draw out… For starters, I met James Jean and got a heap of stuff signed (chortles). The poor man was SO jetlagged and cranky, and I was such a (an annoying) fan, I think I pissed him off… hurm.
ANYWAY, we’ll get to that eventually. I stress on the word “eventually” because unfortunately ladies and gents, a big, fat hairy deadline fell on my lap the second we arrived. It’s been a pretty miserable Monday, Â so I’m kind of tight on time right now. It’s 8:09 and it looks like a long night ahead of us. The hours spent in this job are insane.
Either way, here’s a little story that came about after a certain conversation I had about delectable cheese.
(Note: Please ignore the successive exclamation marks; this was rushed and they weren’t deliberate.)
And now, a quick visit to the dictionary…
Someone had better run and tell John Lloyd! (Thanks for the correction Peachy!)
True Story. The End.
It’s been a rough week so far… lots of deadlines and lost sleep. That, and I haven’t had a chance to pick up a new brush pen. Inking’s been a pain. I’m really sorry for missing the last couple of days… I’ll make it up eventually, I swearz it. And to start, here’s a short blot- my little way of telling you all that yes, I’m still alive and. flatulent.
Hi all! I’m coping out of my usual comicking shenanigans and sharing this invite instead. Art’s art innit? hehe…
I made it a few days ago for my dear friend Jen Blonde’s baby shower. I would’ve shared it earlier, but since we’re ambushing her, I didn’t wanna risk spoiling the surprise. Did I mention that it’s theme’d Lisa Frank? WOOT. Keep the mocktails flowing!
And as an added bonus, here’s a scanned picture of yours truly… crapping my pants. Yeeep.
Except for the title. Soak it up, folks… it’s the most color you’re gonna see today:
Bam!
(Yes you read right. I get baon just like in grade school, but I’m an adult yo.)
If it wasn’t clear for all of you, that second panel at 2:00 is my manyak face. Also, the final panel says 6:00 but really, it was more of a 5:45 deal. Hehe.. I luckily recovered from my nausea, keeping all those expensive drugs in meh belly. *shudder* I’m keen on skipping on homeward bound the minute this post is published too. Hope you all enjoyed. This is as self-indulgent as it gets, folks! Bow!
Sigh. Hi folks. I’m back- not completely recovered but in the very least, I’m back. I had an awful weekend, chock full of sick taste, crankiness, aches, fat person woes, fever… you get the picture. It’s depressing for me to have to admit this, but I think it’s time I officially quit smoking -WELL DUH, right?- And by “officially” I mean I solemnly swear that I’ll make an actual effort to kick the habit. For realz.
The decision came about last night in a paranoid storm of anxiety. I had only ONE working nostril, and a chest cavity that wheezed like an ancient squeak toy. What if I doze off and stop breathing? Gog if I die in this dusty, wreck of a room I’m going to be so mad…Â Ahem. Etc etc. So much for a coming back to work well rested; I ended up sleeping at 3 *sad face*
To better understand the last two panels, here’s the infamous “Calvin & Hobbes final strip“. Don’t fret- it’s obviously doctored. Rumor has it there’s a similar strip floating around the interwebz for Peanuts where Snoopy’s put down. Shrugs.
Also, you might’ve noticed that I used a regular ol’ pen for these Hourlies. As crappy as things were, I didn’t wanna push it with brush pens. I’m sorry this is all I’ve got to show… I honestly tried to make a ton of comics; I wanted to make up for my absence with a huge post. Pfft. flu pwns reg.
I’ve been dying to share this, but it’s taken forever to draw it out. I’ve drawn and redrawn it about 4 times and wasted half of my sketchpad with all the rejects, but finally! It’s done. Albeit, it’s not perfect, but it’s done. Siigh.
I had a dream a week ago or so that went something like this:
The boyfriend has suggested a translation for the second panel. He says: “Reg, why is it like your ‘Doh’ has moved to your hips?”
If you need me, I’ll be crying in the bathroom.
