Back in Brown

That surly cyborg of mine returns today to begin the second chapter of Blockhead’s War. I hope there are lots and lots of you who are excited by this, or else my life has been a gigantic sham.

In fact, Weapon Brown will be occupying a significant portion of my time for the rest of the year, as I strive to complete Blockhead’s War and assemble it with the existing Weapon Brown material for my long-promised Weapon Brown graphic novel, due to hit stores in 2009. 

In order to pull that off, I am for the time being going to reduce the number of comic updates from three to two a week, those being Mondays and Wednesdays, so as to maintain a consistent schedule (Weapon Brown is a little more challenging to draw than Beepo and Roadkill. All those little gears in his arm take about 51 hours to render, and then I must run the art by some engineers at MIT I have hired to ensure plausibility).

To that end, Beepo, Roadkill and Squints will be taking a hiatus while I keep the Browniness flowing. They are by no means defunct, however! I am already drawing the next chapter of their adventures, which I assure you will take my lovable misanthropes into very, very uncharted waters. They will be back in full force around January, by which time I should have wrapped Chuck’s adventure up and slapped a bow on it.

In the meantime, I think you are going to genuinely dig the remainder of Blockhead’s War, which is going to be bigger, ballsier and more thrilling than anything you have seen so far as Chuck works his way up to the ultimate battle with a certain boy and his tiger.

So fasten your safety belts…then unfasten that shit! This trip ain’t gonna be for pussies.

Mistake? No…Mystique!

I am beginning a series of E-Bay auctions to bring my glorious art to a wider audience. As usual, I hope that no one but my regular followers here at Whatisblahblahblah.com purchases the art, but I have recently gotten into this whole “democracy” trend, and so I cannot deny the winning bid to anyone based on race, creed or website affiliation. Once you see what I am offering, however, I am certain that at least one of you will snap it up like a Slim Jim!  

So here is this week’s enticement, the alluring Mystique! 


This artwork is 11 x 17, and rendered in pen&ink and marker on Bristol, and is a perfectly sensible outlet for your lingering adolescent  Smurfette fantasies. 

The auction is live now. Don’t be bashful! 

I also have a couple new pieces for sale here and here on my gallery page at Comic ArtFans.com that will soon go up for auction. (But why not snag them now? Why, I ask you?)

Late comers

To see the amount of attention CNN is devoting to the recently rescued FARC hostages, you would think that their reporters had been slashing through the Colombian jungle for five years on a crusade to rescue the captives. I don’t remember hearing about these men once on CNN during their five years of imprisonment.

Now they are getting more face time than Anderson Cooper! Everytime I’ve gone to CNN.com this past week there has been another top headline of one of the former hostages decrying their FARC captors as “terrorists with a capital ‘T'” who dress in jackal skins and sacrifice unbaptized children to Chalciuhtlicue.

Not that I am unhappy that Keith Stansell, Marc Gonsalves and Thomas Howes–the three snow-white mercs working for Northrop Gruman whose spy plane crashed into the pie-eating contest pavillion during 2003’s festive “FARC Daze”–are now safe and sound and drinking Anchor Steam again. I just think it’s a little tasteless for CNN to pretend that they were playing Peggy Say for these gentlemen the whole time.

Return of Your King

I am returned from Chicago and posting again, as the final installment of “Not Safe for Work” will testify to.  Yes, my strip was delayed a bit while I sold my cancerous comics to the public, but I know that your patience is as elastic as a rubberband and that I could count on you being here when I returned. You’re all such sheep. 

The show was gangbusters and Deep Fried sold unusally briskly. While I try to figure out if that means I have finally found my audience, why not take a look at some of the interesting people I met there?

My brief enrollment with the Fundamentalist LDS Church (which I mentioned in the show’s program) caused many of the young girls at the show to arrive armed .
Worst Howard the Duck costume ever.
Go away! Aieeeee!!
This is “Venom Pimp” (seen here without his stable of Venom bitches).
My negotiations with Venom Pimp for some post-show entertainment in my hotel room fell apart when I commented that my hat was doper than his.
ARRGGGHHHHH!!!
There are often celebrities at the bigger comic conventions, but even I was surprised to see Dick Cheney show up!

There was alos a surprise waiting for me in my inbox when I returned. Apparently Deep Fried fan par excellance Benjamin Hayden has once again run out of things to do, and so created this alien mockery of Roadkill using Spore, a new video game that requires a blood sample every time you play it.

Well, I can see it a little around the eyes. Roadkill does blaze quite often. Go ahead and check out the video on my Refrigerator Art page and judge for yourself. 

(Ben went on to tear a rib from Roadkill and created a Boogie Bunnee as well.)
