Help me get a Free iPod and Flat Screen monitor by checking out my post on the subject in the forums. You can get some too! It’s really a weird deal. I’ve got articles from Wired posted in that message about how it works (and doesn’t work).
It’s not a pyramid scheme… hopefully. (Editor’s note: It was a SPAM scheme.)
Now you may be saying, “James, why are you so lazy? Even after bringing the caffeine back in your life, why did it take so long for the latest strip?” And I think that’s a fair question, and I will avoid answering it as best I can. I will say this: My drawing desk now faces the TV. Progress is possible. Help is on the way. He’s a flip-flopper!
Heh! Flippy-Floppy I say!
I’ve decided to forego my caffeine free lifestyle and again start using the wonder drink known as coffee to help me not go to sleep and leave y’all without a comic strip. I’ve gained a crapload of weight this year, probably from taking in too many calories late nights to make strips in the first half of the year and now I’m sluggish from all the fat. Caffeine is my only alternative to provide you, my viewing audience, with fresh strippage, maintain my workload and pursue a slimmer, more svelte physique.
As for today’s strip, it was literally weeks in the making. Until I started back on the caffeine this week, it sat there screaming to be finished while I dozed off. In the middle panel the “BANG” sounds are Woody and his buddies trying to force open the front doors (not gunshots) and Paul is bracing the game against the doors. Much of the art was lost when the lettering went in. In the last panel, I snuck in the original cast of Goats and Dean from Liberty Meadows.
I only pray I don’t get sued.
Y’all thought that I’d forgotten all about writing and making comic strips, didn’t ya? Well… I had. I took a little “me time” to catch up on some reading, watch some TV and clean the house. I may curtail my ambitions for new strips down to Monday/Wednesday through football season. Or just for September. The collaborators and I have scripted stuff out through the next couple of weeks or so, so I’ve got the material. And it’s good. I hope. Anyway, Friday’s strip depends on me drawing it tonight, so wish me luck and energy and lack of distractions. Otherwise you’ll have no new strip until Monday.
Yes. I am a whiny bitch. Deal with it.
Stalling for time is exactly what I’m doing here. I’ve hit a wall, a Wall of Voodoo if you will, regarding plot development and joke creation. In that vein, we’re regrouping and replotting the next month or so of strips to provide you more coherent, more regularly scheduled comic strip goodness. Like I said before, you better get ready!
No seriously, get ready…
