#67 ~ Rabid Lamb Comics

January 25, 2008 in back pain, cartoons, comic of the day, comics, entertainment, jokes | 13 comments

Sorry guys. I wouldn’t really say I was as much out of ideas this week as time. I was sick Monday and Tuesday (and another minor back injury – yea!) and then I’ve been doing some work at home, including today, so I had to hurry up and finish this comic and get it up while I had access to a scanner (long story). End of story, it’s rushed and I apologize. But I liked the joke, and we all know that my comics are more about the words than the pictures anyway, so just read it with your eyes closed or something…um, no, that probably won’t work out either.

Also, what do we think of “Rabid Lamb Comics”. It’s an image I’ve always liked, the mean and the sweet tangled together in a gross little picture of, well, probably gross…which is kinda like me when I think about it…mean and sweet, hopefully not gross, although to some probably I’m gross…okay, WAY off topic at this point. Anyway, Adam’s pretty into it, but I’m not sold yet.

Thoughts?

#66 The 1979 Semi-Finalist: The Comic

Okay, okay, it wasn’t really THIS dramatic, it wasn’t the end of the world, but it sure was a bummer. We only missed probably the last 60 seconds or so, but it was a pretty intense ending and it’s lame to have to rent it just to watch 60 seconds or download it or whatever. Annoying. You know what was also super annoying about this movie? The “relationship” between Redford and Dunaway. LAME! The whole movie was pretty good and interesting, but I just hate it when movies try to wedge in a romance where none belongs. This was one of the most unbelievable “romances” I’ve ever seen in a movie. If not for that factor I think I really would have enjoyed the movie, instead it gets a barely 3 stars.

Onto more important issues. I need a name for this strip. As you can see in my title I’m playing with some ideas, but I’m not loving anything I’ve thought of. Anyone have any great ideas? I’d kind of like to keep the words “journal comic” out of the title but otherwise I’m pretty open to anything…bring on the suggestions!

Thanks!

If you don’t have access to the New York Times, you can read all the chapters of Clowe’s Mr. Wonderful, here. It is so worth it, the stuff is brilliant.

Yes, drinking water cures everything you know, even severed arms.

Good weekend everyone?

I spend a lot of time thinking about this thing “getting hit on”. It’s an odd thing. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind the obvious compliment that it is, in a way, but it also often makes me (and I’m sure other women) uncomfortable. And I also don’t really understand what the point is. Do men really think a woman is going to respond to “mmm. you are hotttt.” I mean, even if we wanted to respond, what on earth would we say? What are men hoping we’ll say? Are they just saying it for themselves? Is it a power play? Is it to make them feel like real men…to validate themselves in some way and it has nothing to do with us? Is it because they’re desperately hoping for a date and have no idea how to go about getting one (hint, gentlemen this is NOT the way). The whole thing confuses the hell out of me.

So I wanted to do a cartoon about Adam dancing since it’s so great, but Adam alone is responsible for the stripper pole direction it took…his suggestion for the cartoon…and it was a great one. Although my favorite panel is the second one, with him sort of doing ‘the robot’. He’s a great dancer, it’s a shame that nobody will ever really know it…

#60 Comic of the Day

January 16, 2008 in comic of the day, comics, dreams | 13 comments

Yeah, let’s not talk too much about this, kay?

Do you guys remember your dreams? Do you dream in color? Funny story, one time years and years ago I was talking to some friends about dreams and I was asked if I dreamed in color, because apparently a surprising number of people don’t. Anyway, I realized I didn’t know the answer. So that night when I dreamed, I dreamed I was in a giant brightly colored hot air balloon, flying in the sky with dozens of other brightly colored balloons, and there were fireworks going off all around us, but instead of plain fireworks, they were like giant exploding cans of paint, in firework patterns. Is that my dreams telling me to f’ing start paying attention or what?

Yeah, I’m not pleased about this.

And instead of talking heads ALL week, today you get a close up of an EYE. OOOOOOhhhhhh!

How was everyone’s weekend? I literally buried myself in this depressing query crap, it was so disheartening. I also realized that I probably should re-write my book, which I’ve always considered a “part one of three” into just a massive one book epic. Sigh. Last thing on earth I want to do, but all the advice seems to point to that being the “smart choice”. I did escape for a few hours on Sunday to see Juno (it was pretty good, but overhyped) and to get a Lobster Roll, which though still good was the worst one I’ve had since I discovered them last June… A bit of a bummer weekend overall I guess. I’m feeling pretty low about all of it. How about you guys…do anything good this weekend?
