So I'm doing the school newspaper comic thing again...only this time I really don't care all that much about it, so I'm not putting in much effort for a measly six bucks.
Nevertheless, I will share them with you.
(These may be pretty big...I'll size 'em down when I get home if so)

Love the shark, and the talking dog.

poor lenny! =(
-
Oh no! Cutting Anime's already lousy animation will make it nothing more than a still picture!
-
Your reference to Nabakov makes me pleased. Ive never seen such literary references in this place. I want to gay-marry you.
-
I'm pretty sure any marriage between us would in fact be straight, unless you are secretly a woman.
-
I meant that I want to grow a vagina in order to gay-marry you. Wait....no I don't. I dont want that manner of plumbing. Val, Im going to level with you here...whats is going to take for me to get you on the hormones? We can have you post-op within the year if we do this right.
-
Okay, but I'll have to be a bottom. I hear post-op equipment doesn't work so well.
Whoa, what have I done to my own topic?
-
awesome.
-
Um. Yeah. I was gunna say some stuff about the comics, but after reading that, I don't think it would be able to compare.
-
*can't... stop... laughing...*
I scared my roommate in my dorm room because I was laughing so hard.
-
Fantastic work here. That one about roaches deserving to live doesn't sit well with me, though. Those assholes destroy all of the food in my house unless it's in a can. No bag of pasta or box of oatmeal is safe from them.
Actually, my sister caught one in a glass bottle. It's sitting on the front door step. Been there for two weeks. It's finally starting to realize that it might be in trouble (shocked that it's not dead).
-
It's kind of a cliche, but it really does take a lot to kill them.
-
Link me!
Also, here's a new one.

-
Clever girl...
-
TREE SHARK USES SHARK PUNCH!
-
That's a brilliant storytelling method. Make the beginning so convoluted and difficult to read (hello, tiny writing!) that the reader is actually anxious for the arrival of a cockroach.

Elaborate setup, silly joke.

Have you ever been to http://www.racebending.com
-
I have. That was really the icing on the ****-cake of an already awful movie.
At least a lot of Indian actors got work.

True, but it's somewhat degrading when you're working in a movie you know is portraying the people of your race as the bad guys and the shiny white stars as the good guys. On the bright side, maybe they'll get more work after...
Yellowface/Brownface is getting to be a ridiculous trend, and I don't know why people are being so indifferent about it. Aside from what's obviously offensive about it, if I was a white person I would be incredibly offended, since the majority of responses from interrogated producers is that they need to produce films "audiences" can relate to and they feel people will have a hard time relating to people of asian or south asian descent. How stupid and racist does that make you guys sound? Everyone else can relate to other people except you? Fffuuuuu...geeez... even I'm offended for you.
Gah, I want to write more about it but I don't even know where to start because there's so much rage in me when I think about this topic.
-
:/
The bright side is....the whole Racebending thing kicked up a lot of controversy. Ideally, studios will think twice before trying to "whitewash" characters from an established franchise again...like, from looking at the Racebending site, it seems they've convinced Marvel to specify "Asian-American" in the casting call for Nico in the "Runaways" movie. I can easily see how they could've ended up with a pale, dark-haired white girl for the role if they hadn't done that. And Nico's essentially the leader of the Runaways, so viewers will have to find some way to relate to an Asian girl.
Just in my nature to try to be optimistic.
-
Yeah I saw that casting notice. It's great they made that change. Unfortunately it also meant you had to be an American citizen to audition :(...cause I wanted to... *sniff*
-
Yeah... D: Although "Asian-American" could just be their PC default way of saying any kind of Asian who speaks English well. But you'd know better than I would!
-
It said "US Residents Only" and we're definitely not U.S.
-
Isn't Canada part of America?
Shhh! I found out recently that saying this makes them really uncomfortable. Especially since it happens to be true.
-
Would you call an Austrian a German? Or a Korean person Chinese? Or a Brazilian person Mexican? We're Canadian...
-
I've always thought of Mexico as "Central American."
-
Damn. I guess you're right.
-
We're on the North American continent, but at least in Canada when we say "American" we are referring to people from the United States of America. If you go abroad and say you're American people will probably also assume you're from the U.S.
Anyway isn't this thread about Val's comic?
-
Would you call an Austrian a German? Or a Korean person Chinese? Or a Brazilian person Mexican? We're Canadian...
Sounds like a lot of bad examples to me...
-
You guys seem to have Your Countries and Continents mixed up. Sure, Im north american, and so is a Mexican.
Britain and Poland are both European.
Quatar and Liberia are both african.
India and the Phillipines are both in Asia.
Tell me you can lump those into "same thing really" after doing ten minutes of research
-
Yeah... We're all Europeans but nothing says we're the same thing.
Same with Americans. Americans are North and south Americans if you're talking about nationalities.
But if you're talking about the people - Americans will be USA'ers to me. People from Canada are Canadians, people from Mexico are Mexicans and people from Brazil are poor.
Can't remember what my point was when I began writing this though.
Gief more comics.
-
But if everyone from the continent of America are called Americans. What are the people from USA called?
-
Unitedesians?
ed: dear god that was bad
ive got to not post while im so goddamn tired
-
My comment was more of a snide remark about Canada being part of the US economically despite the fact they don't like to think so, but yeah, sure. Continents and stuff.
-
You would be right if it werent for that whole "We have a seperate economic system, stock market and electoral body thing.
Americans think they own everything
Also: Yeah....I dont agree with any of this. My identity stems from my culture. Not the Tectonic plate I live on
-
We are all Charasians
-
What, am I some kind of comic-drawing machine? I gave you two yesterday. I have tests to study for.
-
We are all Charasians
It's like an island.
-
It's like an island.
And it's floating.

Impossible. You cannot grasp its true form.

Hey Gem, it sure was nice here when the banks and housing market didn't crash, wasn't it? Funny how that happened since we're apparently economically part of the United States...
-
Impossible. You cannot grasp its true form.
I can. You'd be surprised at how much an existing fellow like me is able to grasp. Since I totally exist and am not a cult.
Yeah, we need a time machine.
-
Yeah, we need a time machine.
Careful, you might make a time paradox.

I could have sworn I commented on these new ones.
Personally, I think they're the best ones yet.

Boo.

Spent way, way too much time on the last one.

Somehow, I doubt saying "stab stab stab stab" would properly immitate a stabbing noise.
Also, damn you midterm ghost.
-
The phone operator is just really, really stupid.
-
You guys have just never done it right.
-
Nice :)
Good idea, really, doing lots of little comics. Keeps stuff fresh and all that.
-
Great stuff, keep it up.
-
Oddly enough, we didn't actually have midterm exams. Huh.

No, really. We were just given a report of how we were doing. The finals will be huge, though.

Wanted to finish my comics early this week.

-
Time travel is so awesome.
-
So, like, what do you want for a bribe to put me as a minor character in one of these one-shot strips? Wouldn't need to be named or anything - just the general look would be fine. I'm not really sure what I have that you want. All I can think of off the top of my head would be to sprite you and put you in Charas Heroes's first version release as an early recruitable character.
-

Sounds like a deal...you mean you-you or SaiKar the pretty purple princess?
And Dren, yeah, I know. That was kind of some mild inspiration for this strip actually.
It tore off her face.
-
Erm, pretty purple princess me.
Damn did I really just type that?
-
Okay, I have a week to come up with a hilarious joke about a pretty purple princess.
-
This will be interesting to see.
-
Thought you guys might like to see some of the other comics in my school paper. But probably not.

There's way more than this (and there's definitely ones way worse than this), but there ya go.
-
Raj and Boris looks like my kind of comic.
-
Wow. Some of those are awful. Your comics just got much better!
Loled hard at the titties one though.
Notice something special happening with the Devil's tail?
-
That head on a helicopter is pure creative genius.
O man o man there's a lot of these! http://iambowman.com/comics/2010/10/moon-god.html :Plight:
-
THIS
That head on a helicopter is pure creative genius.
-
Man, you guys have no taste. "Raj and Boris" is awful.
-
http://iambowman.com/comics/2010/10/coding.html
You are NOT gunna tell me that's awful.
-
Granted, he has jokes (sort of), which is more than I can say for a lot of comics in our paper. But his comics are exactly the way he is in real life: manic, impulsive, and goofy. All his jokes are pure randomness, which I can't stand, because "Ha ha! That's so random!" only works about a half-dozen times.
And....he's drawn about 100 comics, and he still can't draw hands.
-
I've decided that antagonizing the woman who may or may not put me into a comic about her competition is probably not the wisest thing I have done recently.
-
Further ground I'm totally not treading on in the next week or so.
-
I'll make your comic super-random. You'll end up with your conjoined twin's head popping out of your neck, spooning Richard Nixon on a giant flying wombat. Your hands will be round stumps. You'll love it.
-
Sounds hot.
-
:-[
-
I only said one twin, but that works.
-
of all those comics - only the Boris and Raj were somewhat funny. Style and jokewise. The others were just... Unfunny and not in the charas-unfunny way.
-
By the way, Sai...
I just got an e-mail. Bowman, the same guy you've been praising all evening, wants to do some ridiculous sunburst-style layout for the comics page for friday the 12th. Unfortunately, that's the same day I was going to do your comic, since fridays are "color" days (And how else would we know how purple your hair is?).
So either I can put it off til the following friday, or I can TRY to do your comic in some absurd pie-slice shape. Seriously, what a stupid idea.
-
Okay Bowman, you're delaying my moment of triumph. This means war.
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/SaiKar/BOWMAN.gif)
BOWMAN!!!!!!
Actually, it's pretty hard to be upset at the guy that apparently composed Sburban Jungle (http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sburban-jungle), no matter how much his stupid comic idea is delaying my moment of triumph.
-
I am conflicted and troubled.
-
...you go to school with Bowman?
Wow, small world.
-
I didn't realize the mook was internet-famous til now.
-
*threatens with a large ham*
-
I thought they were all pretty awesome.
-

Yuss.
-
Why didn't the terminators think of that?
-
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/future4.png)
lol Bum joke
-
Double yuss.
-
You know the last panel is in the future, cuz it's ASTRO whiskey. Everything in the future is in space!
-
Next time I make an RM2k game, I'll have to remember to sneak in Astro Whiskey as a healing item.
-
I kinda dialed this one in, but there's only so much you can do with a pie-slice.
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/grackle-1.png)
You guys are lucky I didn't draw his happy trail.
-
...i don't get it D:
-
...i don't get it D:
Same here, someone explain.
-
A grackle is a generic blackish-brownish bird. They're pretty nasty and often attack other birds. Here, our grackle protagonist has stumbled upon a transmogrifier (kinda hard to read the lettering), which transforms him into a human. Grackle Man, who still has the brain of the bird, does what most grackles do...walk around with his mouth open like a dumb*** and try to intimidate others -- in this case, a group of young women who think this must be some kind of sex fiend.
-
Got the transforming, and I figured he was trying to scare them or something like cawing at the.
Had no friggin idea what a grackle was, it looks like a crow to me.
But now that I get it it is pretty funny. Not one of the funniest compared to your other ones.
The pie slice idea does seem kinda stupid at this point, i wonder how well others will pull it off.
-
Eh, scores bonus points for having a transmorgrifer.
-
Doesn't look like a cardboard box, so I award no bonus points.
-
They come in a cardboard box, though.
You should have had the BOINK sound effect for extra win.
-
haha, i loved the grackle comic! Great colors! Although why is half of it white space?
O i also loved the Bum Comic... that was classic
-
Thanks! It's half white space, because the newspaper is doing some crazy event where the comics page is shaped like a sunburst. My comic is one of the "rays."
-
Ahahahahah awesome
-
Oh. Cool idea, but it seems like the execution will be iffy all around.
-
Agreed. It's not exactly a good format for a comic, unless all you were drawing was a wedge of cheese.
-
*mumbles incoherently about Bowman*

-
Saving that for friday (our friday comics are in color).
-
I chuckled. Also your name is Brianne? I always thought it was Valerie. What a mindfuck...
-
I just assume none of us are using our real names. Works most of the time.
-
Except with Lucas_pedobait
-
Surprisingly, Zuhane isn't my real name!
-
I chuckled. Also your name is Brianne? I always thought it was Valerie. What a mindfuck...
I get that a lot.
And lol, "lucas_pedobait."
-
I'm using my real name...
Seriously, the 2 clan finds your disbelief offensive.
Oh, and that scorpion **** is real. Don't be fooled into thinking it's just for laughs.
-
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/scorpion2.png)
Next one is SaiKar's, I promise.
-
Not quite sure I understand vengeful scorpion

I think I love Vengeful Scorpion.

What's not to understand? That scorpion just really has it out for the girl.

squared.
-
Hey guys, wanna hear some BS? The powers that be decided the comics staff is going to do a 12-page advertising supplement...basically drawing comics advertising local businesses. Oh, and we're not going to get paid for it. Because we're such sweethearts.
By "we" I really mean "everyone else," because I'm not going to get whored out for advertising revenue.
At least it wasn't Bowman's idea this time though.
-
A rebellion sounds fun.
-
And Corey Stranick. I am not alone here. And... Ben. But he's just using his first name. Plus he's twice my age. >.>
Haha, yeah I wish I could change that now.
I am loving the vengeful scorpion though.
-
That's...
Really fucked.
I get mad when I give in and by clothes with logos on them, let alone writing advertisements for random companies without pay. That sounds like a slap in the face more than an oppurtunity. Like the powers that be just thought "hey, these guys like to write comics. Its the same thing. For free? Sure, why would they mind? Its not like they're actually artists or anything. It's just COMICS for christ's sake."
So, yeah. Ffffff that.
-
I'd love to do that, simply because it would be entirely superliminal advertising and/or sarcasm paired with backhanded compliments. Make them say "This guy's an ***hole; we shouldn't have done this".
-
I'd love to do that, simply because it would be entirely superliminal advertising and/or sarcasm paired with backhanded compliments.
My god, why didn't I think of that?
-
Because you're not the horrific genius that I am? I don't know. But you know who is? That blue-headed fellow from Dreamwors' newest animated masterpiece, Mastermind. It's in theaters now, and stars Will Ferrell, and it's sure to be the biggest film of the season.
-
Hahahaha
-
Or add in those special little touches, like adding "SEX" to the forehead of some little old lady.
-
By "we" I really mean "everyone else," because I'm not going to get whored out for advertising revenue.
Yeah fight the power!
Or something...equally encouraging...I'm bad at this...
-
Val, what's your major? If it's anything artistic-related, you should strongly consider doing this. It'd make a great resume thing later.
-
I'm an English major.
-
(yes, I also make fun of people over here who study Portuguese. Except its called something else, which only makes it more hilarious. Too lazy to explain now)
Is it called something like "Glorious golden language of the motherland"?
-
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/southmall.png)
You guys probably won't get this one, but honest to god, it was the best I could come up with for a pretty purple-blue princess.
So at my school there's these people from Greenpeace and Save The Children who haunt certain areas on campus that get a lot of traffic. As soon as you're within earshot, they'll ask, "Would you like to devote a minute to helping the environment?" or "Would you like to devote a minute to Save The Children?" They're really trying to hit you up for donations, and it's super annoying.
Here I have a princess as one of these guys, played by a certain admin's female id. This poor chap doesn't realize he's stumbled into an RPG where he really has no choice -- the conversation keeps going in a loop whenever he says no. There's a TV Tropes/Dragon Quest reference of course. There, now I've ruined it. I hope you're happy.
-
Hmm, maybe if we saw him stop mid-walk it would be more apparent.
But I still digged it. Reminded me of those Jehovas peoples.
Also, on a completely unrelated note. We don't have a lot of those volunteer people here in Sweden, the government actually throws out tax payers' money to some organizations. And otherwise the church does.
-
I liked it. But now you've gone and summoned Razor's wrath.
-
We have those people too, but I'm a sucker and I listen to them...
-
I love the joke. And I love my character's art. And I love the fancy speech bubble stuff. And I love you. Basically, love all around. :heart:
Pretty much, from now on, just assume that everything I type is in those kinds of text bubbles.
-

noooooooooooooooooo
That can't be unread. Darn them olde' english and neat fonts!
-
I usually let them know that I don't have any money, but if they want to talk to me they're free to go ahead. Don't really mind.
Jehovah Witnesses... They go knocking door to door and they usually want to talk to my mother, but I can't wait til I have my own place so I can talk to them. Why? Well, they spend all their day trying to convince people into joining them. It'd be fun to try it the other way around.
So...here they tell us there are starving children in Brazil...what do they tell you there?
-
We had two deaf Mormons tour our neighborhood and try to enlist us once. That was interesting.
-
Mormons keep trying to snag my friend, because he actually converted to appease a Mormon girlfriend a few years ago. Stupid, I know. But apparently once you do that, they put your name and address on some sort of list and keep hounding you until you go to Mormon church.
-
I had a couple of Witnesses come to my door a couple of months ago.
I absolutely HATE disappointing people, which led to this ridiculous 5 minute long conversation which ended with me saying that I don't go to church and don't really believe in God.
At least they were the cooler Christians who can actually understand why some people do not believe.
Great strip, BTW.
Personally, I think that that joke is one of the best ones that you've done.
-
Wait, the Witnesses accepted the fact that you didn't believe? It's totally the other way around here...
They go all "Though hasth to beliefwet in thyne Godeth!" when you tell them something like that while the rest of us is "Oh well, your loss".
-
So basically they go "but thou must!" ?
>_>

*facepalm*

Heh heh. Clever. I remember a few DQ/DW NPCs who'd do nothing but say the same darn line over and over like that till you choose the "yes" and usually it would only be to tell you some useless piece of info you already knew/game lore.

Thanks! ;D
Oh and...SCANDAL ON THE COMICS PAGE
I got an e-mail from the boss-lady:
We recently had a problem with a shout-out on the comics page. You guys who showed up to orientation know the deal: no shout-outs. However, this wasn't like a "hey, friend, what's up? you're awesome!" Rather, it was a comic that was seen as a public insult to someone that a lot of people know and recognize.
The comic in question portrayed the person in a not-too-positive light (though could have easily been thought of as a light-hearted joke), and, to the person who identified his/herself, it was seen as incredibly insulting. I have been contacted by a professor of the person in question, by Doug himself, and know that others who know the person have also contacted the Texan to issue complaints.
tl;dr: Someone slandered a professor in a comic, and they're in big twubble.
I'm pretty sure this is the comic in question, involving a moustachioed professor getting flustered over an attractive female student talking about "sexual tension."

Drama is always fun when it doesn't involve you.

HAH! You had a shout-out to me, but we work in subtle ways.
Also, your boss doesn't sound so bad. I like how she basically says she thinks it's okay but the guy is being a twat about it.
-
HAH! You had a shout-out to me, but we work in subtle ways.
That actually didn't occur to me. We're so subversive.
-
That's what I thought you were getting at too- or that a Save the Children worker read your comment and cried.
Also yeah the prof is being unfair since nothing really identifies him, but the moment of reference was probably really embarrassing for him. We all have moments where we want to kick ourselves in the face cause we're so embarrassing- we're only comforted by the fact that we probably noticed what we did and no one else did... finding a less than stellar moment illustrated in a comic is a big way of having someone say "WE ALL NOTICED WHEN YOU WERE A DOUCHELORD."
-
The moustache could conceivably identify him. I mean, she said a bunch of people noticed who the artist was poking fun of.
-
Not sure if they'll let me get away with this one.

But that was hilarious.

omfg that was great

If she got away would he have said "tomorrow..."
-
I love horoscopes.
-
If she got away would he have said "tomorrow..."
no. It wasn't Scorpio. :<
I want hoboscope/vengeful scorpion crossover, liek nao.
-
I do wonder where you come up with this stuff.
-
Why is that newspaper written in weird japanese
I've found that if I write any sort of real English words on a newspaper, some dumbass like my brother will insist on trying to read all of them.
Also, probably no crossover. Almost at the end of the semester.
-
Great. Now then, do more. I demand it, since I'm back and stuff.

Last comics for a long time.
May be a little obscure if you're not in the know about pop culture and 90's edutainment computer games, respectively.
-
The first one escapes me, but everyone loves the Trail.
-
Heehee Oregon Trail. But I too don't understand the first one.
-
Ditto.
-
This made me google oregon trail and waste a half hour.
-
Gawd, I didn't get any of them ):
You are a sad, strange little man.
And you have my pity.

The 1st one is about Ke$ha, who was the silly bitch who sang this abomination (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP6XpLQM2Cs). That guy got kicked to a curb because he didn't look like Mick Jagger.
Egoraptor (http://www.youtube.com/user/egoraptor) could animate that 2nd comic and literally make "Awesome Trail". It really reminds me of that sort of thing.

Totally.

I thought it was "Your love is my drug..." Another horrible song by the same person.
-
OH... her.
-
You're both right.
Crap, Dren, now I gotta go play OT online.
Edit: Just encountered some guy who complained that game animals won't be around much longer since people shoot them and wastefully leave most of the meat since they can only carry so much back.
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/wasteful.png)
Can't imagine who he could be talking about........
-
I got a laugh from both. Haha. I especially enjoyed the Ke$ha one. =P
-
Back to comics. I don't get paid for the first few weeks of the "trial period," so I'm not going to spend more than 30 minutes coloring them.
No money, no effort!
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/fire-1.png)
-
As long as they can do what a guy can do as a firefighter I don't mind it.
-
You mean make calendars of them posing topless? I'm down with that.
-
No chance of this happening. They'll just complain about women used as objects while buying calendars containing men.
Oh and nice comic by the way.
-
I think Val and I have to slap a few of you.
Hard.
And not in the good way.
-
I concur. Although in lieu of slaps, I think we should put that "ball-busting" title to good use.
-
Rowr. All this girl power is getting me hardly any attention. More comics for me to crack wise about, please.
-
Ain't doing more than two of these a week til I get paid!
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/make.png)
-
Or "The Human Centipede".
-
Oh, you say that now. But just imagine it. "Phossy" stands for phosphonecrosis. Necrosis -- as in, your jaw is literally dying. The toxic phosphorus decays the flesh, reducing your jaw to a hideous slump as the bones and tissue decompose. On top of being a disfigured horror, the decomposing flesh gives off a putrid smell, repelling any of your friends and family that might have stuck around for this long. You can't eat, you can't speak intelligibly, and you'll probably die if the jaw isn't amputated, which will leave you disfigured for life. On top of that -- in the dark -- the phosphorus in your jaw gives off an eerie greenish glow, a haunting reminder that your jaw is now its exclusive property.
Maybe that only gets to me.

I googled pictures.
I didn't think that it was nearly as gross as Harley Babies or just regular old necrosis.
The idea is right creepy, though.
-
I'm trying my hardest to resist Googling a couple of those. My weak stomach is making that resistance a bit more effective.

This may help.
-
I think they aren't simply glued...
I googled these. I suppose I saw too many similar things for it to disgust me. Wonder if it's actually a good thing... but the babies were the scariest.
-
Yeah, the harlequin fetuses are pretty bad. There's also the babies born after the Gulf War, when it's suspected that depleted uranium caused may deformities. First link on Google for "gulf war syndrome birth defects."
With that cheerful note, I love these comics.
-
Did you guys get to James Joyce's love letters? It always cracks me up how I'll forget about them for a while, figure they weren't really that bad after all, go back and read them again, and find they're far more horrifying than I remembered.
-
Also Vietnam and the Orange thingie.
And Hiroshima/Nagasaki and the radiation.
You know, I have a feeling that the US does this kind of thing on purpose. Always finding new weapons that will **** up their enemy's babies in horrible ways after destroying their countries.
Yeah, we basically say "this is why you don't **** with us. Even if we lose, you lose."
-
Well, Cuba, d'uh!
No, seriously... few Countries do, actually.
-
Who cares about human rights anyway, right? Not the USA at least.
We love human rights! We just understand the significance of making an example out of someone...

So BOWMAN is doing paragraph-long reviews for the comics now. He absolutely loved these two.
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/christian.png)
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/protests.png)
Can I help it that I'm so awesome?
-
Nope.
-
BOWMANNN!!!!!!
I thought *exactly* the same thing when I heard about the internet shutdown in Egypt!
-
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/pc.png)
Bowman loved this one too.
-
What a load of ****.
-
Shouldn't talk with your mouth full, know what I'm saying?
-
I know that feeling.
-
Ahahahah
-
This one didn't actually get published and probably won't be, but I'll post it here anyway.
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/obama.png)
Now that I got your attention, it's time for some bitchin'.
I just got back from my third comics staff orientation. It was all right, I guess. Two people came up and told me how much they like my comics, which was nice to hear.
When we got around to introducing ourselves, the chief comics editor asked us (the comics artists) to say which comic in the paper was our favorite. People had varying opinions, but one comic was named far more than any of the others.
(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/GB1.png)

(http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f271/Serithe/GB6.png)
Yeah. This one. Among the comics staff, this is the most popular comic in the paper.
Oh, and two people make this. I can't emphasize that enough. IT TAKES TWO PEOPLE TO MAKE "GARY BUSEY'S TEETH." One draws and one writes. I can't decide which one of them is worse at their job.
Maybe I'm a little bit bitter. Sure, my comic wasn't anyone's favorite, and I myself had to chime in for "Starpony Comics," which is one of the rare comics that is both well-written and well-drawn, to get any love. But that's not the point. It's just that..........I MEAN, JUST LOOK AT IT
/headdesk
-
Oh, they've got me loling up a storm, especially that one about the cat that I don't understand in any way...
-
It's combining red and blue to get purple.
-
It's not that they didn't want to publish. It's that today was the valentines issue, and there were already too many comics that needed to be published. By next friday, the reference will already be too stale.
And that's not it either, Arch!
-
Somehow, that comic makes me really glad that I decided not to watch the Super Bowl (or the half-time show) this year. Your comic is right: literally everyone I know is complaining about the Black-Eyed Peas' performance. I found the strip hilarious. :D
Edit: My inner Grammar Nazi is now satisfied.

Then it's people being united over dislike for the Halftime Show.
-
That's right.
-
I was thinking it was a bit of both, but hey, missed color-humor seems to be your style.
-
The slug one was kind of funny...otherwise I was just confused.

This one requires some explanation.
Inexplicably, there's...huge metal balls on campus.

Those balls were definitely placed there strategically so people walking by could look up and see a Johnson.
-
Imma agree with Natako.
-
But of course.
Oh, by the way! I was thinking of giving my comic a name so people might actually remember it. Any good suggestions?
My comic doesn't have a subject so it could be anything.
-
Neo-Retro-Tech.
-
Figured I'd post a few of my more recent newspaper comics. I gotta tell ya, I'm getting sick of making these.

Loved the superhero conference and the lake monster.
Great work on all of them
-
Invisi-Bear is my new favorite super hero.
-
Lol. Loved Invisibear and the last one. So true.
Someone at work: So what are you going to do for your vacation?
Me: Um...I don't know. I should think of something, though. I don't want to waste all of that vacation time.
What the last line actually means: I'm going to hole up in my apartment for a week and do nothing but sleep and play video games! Woohoo!
True story. And no, I'm not on my vacation now, unfortunately.
-
Amen, sister. If playing Banjo-Kazooie all weekend is wrong, I don't want to be right.
-
Well, you're certainly more entertained with the new Pokemon game than I am
-
Yeah, but you're a grumpy old man by Charas standards.
-
I also wasted time playing video games. And also trying to get this damn computer to run again.
-
Yeah, but you're a grumpy old man by Charas standards.
Did... did you just call me a man?
I never thought I'd see the day!
