I’m thinking of moving over to this style, not because it’s easier and more fun (though it is) but simply because Adam and I both look nice and thin…

I LOVE cake batter flavored ice cream. I believe I first had it and discovered how ridiculously freaking delicious it is at Cold Stone Creamery a couple years ago, but Ben & Jerry’s has gotten wise, and it was delicious. It would have been better without the chocolate stripe, which, while good, tasted (as advertised) like chocolate frosting…and I think a fudge stripe would have had a better blended flavor. Considering that we’ve so scientifically established my incredibly refined palette I think Ben & Jerry’s should take my advice…Ben & Jerry’s you can send my royalty checks as soon as you implement the new formula. Thank you.
Hmm…think you’ve stumbled onto the wrong comic (mostly because you’re shocked to be seeing COLOR)? No, but April Fools!
The above strip is a little cross-promotion fun that Paul Abbamondi of My Life Comics and I came up with…we cartoonists really know how to have a good time don’t we? Paul actually came up with the idea and suggested it to me, although I think he was inspired by Adam’s guest strip a few weeks ago.
It was a great suggestion though, especially since I LOVE another blog called Pencils At Dawn which is a “competition” between two insanely talented cartoonists Mike Jacobsen of See Mike Draw and Phil (no last name?) of The Rut, as they battle it out by drawing competing cartoons/strips and posting them on their Pencils At Dawn site, it’s a great idea, and they are by far two of the best cartoonists I have found on the web.
Anyway, Paul and I humbly offer up our meager cross-promotion April Fools Day fun for your enjoyment – to get the full effect please go over to his site as well and check out the cartoon I did for his strip.
Sadly, if I do in fact have a sensitive or refined palette, it is totally wasted. I despise and will not tolerate onions, thus a HUGE selection of foods are off limits to me, even whole types of cuisine sometimes. I can almost never order a soup in a restaurant (definitely gonna have onions) and while I’ve found things I really like at Thai and Indian restaurants, navigating the menu is always a bit of a challenge. So this palette of mine, refined or no, is wasted on me. I’ve branched out much more in my adulthood, often with thanks to Adam (I now like roasted brussel sprouts and about a thousand other vegetables I never would have tried without his guidance) but onions remain a hated enemy, I doubt I’ll ever get over it.
Randomly I also hate and will not tolerate: bananas, mushrooms (although I’ve made an exception here a few times in the last year for portabellos with not disastrous results), peaches, apricots, and plums (long story), as well as red grapes, pumpkin, coconut, and cooked carrots.
Any kind of food that you guys despise? Does it limit you?
Here it is, in all its gorgeous glory, the first Rabid Lamb guest strip. Adam tends to be more about beautiful cartooning and artistry and details while I am more about the writing or the “joke”. Sadly, even if I had the skill he does, there is just no way I could measure up to the standard he has set with this strip in a daily comic, there just aren’t enough hours to set aside for it. He has promised to do another one soon though…so feel free to hassle him until he gets it done. Additionally, Adam has a great blog of his own, that is mostly about film, although a few other things slip in there on occasion, which I urge everyone to check out: www.dudehesthestallion.wordpress.com.
Also, coming on Monday, Adam has drawn a great mascot for Rabid Lamb Comics, so I’ll be assembling the new logo over the weekend…it should premiere with Monday’s strip. There are also some book reviews coming up that will post today and over the weekend I think…
Thank you Adam – I LOVE it.
NBC has put a well deserved bullet in Bionic Woman…whoo-hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!
To answer the question at the end of this short article – “what felled Bionic Woman in the end?” It was absolutely without a doubt the horrible wooden performance of lead actress Michelle Ryan, unless it was her performance combined with the off the charts bad writing…
Okay, Rabid Lamb Comic #83 needs some explanation. I know, that is cheesy and lame, but I’m dealing with only four panels here and very little ability, so let’s cut me some slack shall we? Thanks.
Years ago…six? seven? I don’t really know for sure since I wasn’t there, Adam and two friends of his, James and Andrew, fellow co-workers at an infamous pizza joint in Savannah named Vinnie Van Go Go’s invented a now somewhat famous game called the My Jam Game. The rules are simple.
!. You hear a song you love, a song that is ‘your jam’ so to speak, and you claim it by calling out My Jam. Anyone beats you to it then it is not your Jam, it is theirs. You’d be surprised what competitive fun this is, and how much it jacks you into the music you’re listening to.
2. You want to piss people off? Is there a horrible song on? Well, go ahead and call Your Jam for the song and point to them (or say Kelly’s Jam) whatever. See comic strip for a detailed illustration of this.
3. There are no other rules. People are often trying to add on additional rules and expand the game, which kind of pisses the creators off quite frankly. Things like calling songs as “my ultimate jam” or “my jam of all time” things like that. My friend Kyle and I created an offshoot of the My Jam Game, based on the original, but that is a story for another time.
The end result is that this game is awesome. Adam and I play it basically every day as it has just become a part of our relationship. Great song on? My Jam. Horrible song on? Your Jam. It’s good fun.
Sidenote: I’m sure Adam will be happy to correct me in the comments section if I’ve gotten anything wrong.
Editors Note: I know you all probably think my proportions are WAY off in this cartoon, but sadly that is about how we fit in the freaking cartoon clown car that we recently rented for some errand running. Shoulder to shoulder and with Adam’s head jammed into the ceiling. Good times!
A little post-Valentine’s day naughty doppelganger treat for everyone.
This comic is actually born of a dream Adam has had in which I’m there…twice. Me and my doppelganger. Of course his dream is less pleasant than my comic, as in his dream I believe the real Kelly gets pissed at him for holding hands with the doppelganger Kelly, which depending on my mood, is pretty accurate. I think there was even a second doppelganger dream later as well. Adam care to comment? Anyway, it’s been rolling around in my brain almost since I started doing this strip, so it was high time the doppelgangers appeared…heels and all.
Since I’m off today I’m looking at a 4 day weekend…which could pretty much not look MORE awesome, especially now that my computer nightmares are worked out and I got good news from that second agency. I hope you all get Monday off like me and make the most of it, I know I plan to. Did anyone do anything for the dreaded V-Day? Was it a bust or a grand success? Did you eat your weight in chocolate? Let’s hear it…
