Welcome to the first installment of the fourth chapter of The Hero’s Journey–which I am sure you have all purchased! (I don’t even have to guess: the fact that I am draped in ermine and eat caviar with every meal confirms it!).
This story is my adaptation of KISS’s most epic and important album ever, Music From the Elder, the tale of a young boy’s journey into manhood as he embarks on a heroic quest to, um–do something? Stop a bad guy? I think? (There’s a reason the album’s tale is not considered one of the more enduring modern legends.)
I conceived this story perhaps ten years ago during a 24-Hour Comic Day event. Then it was just a parody of Tolkien-esque high fantasy that happened to feature Beepo, Roadkill and Squints. But I wanted to give the story some flair, which gave me the notion to base Fodder’s (née Beepo’s) quest off of whatever was considered the worst entry in the prog rock/concept album genre as defined by Rush, The Who, Pink Floyd, etc. A friend recommended Music from the Elder, and suffice it to say, only the absurd greatness of Zardoz has touched my soul in the same way.
This strip will update Mondays and Fridays for the next month. I urge you all to purchase or pirate Music From the Elder using your favorite method for acquiring such things (though you can listen to the first few tracks here). It will greatly enrich your experience of the Idiodyssey, I assure you!

Dum dum DUUUUM! I hope that was a satisfying surprise! But chew 100 times before swallowing, because Aftershock is taking a brief, 30 day hiatus.
Wait! Put down the gummi razor blade! For the next month you will instead be forcibly delighted by the first chapter of The Idiodyssey, the next installment of Deep Fried: The Hero’s Journey! And to make this all go down easier, you will get two strips a week, on Monday and Friday, until Aftershock returns.
Make peace with this news! The suffering begins next week!

Over in my subscriber section (where the party never ends!) I have been posting selections from a comic strip I used to draw for the Buffalo News called “Leftovers”. I just stumbled across one for which the punchline has been lost to history.
Let’s play “New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest”! Write your best gag for this cartoon and put it in the comment section. Winner gets the original art!

And here’s more fun! If I told you how long this video took to create, you would tell me to get a real job and probably register with the Republican Party.
I had intended to also release he first issue of Weapon Brown:Aftershock today… but hold your horses! HOLD THEM! Because I am actually talking with a publisher who may wish to take on the entire project! More info as it becomes available!

I’m running a little late on the strip– I have a lot of stuff cooking! By Friday I should have Dale’s review of Star Trek: Lower Decks, some new comics to purchase (at last!) AND the new strip. Come back every day and check!!

In the meantime, enjoy a slice of cheesecake. (Well, spongecake!)

This strip tarried a bit, but only because it’s double stuffed!
Owing to fan complaints and a Change.org petition, I have increased the font size of this week’s strip. Original, hi-rez version here. Right-click to open in new tab)

When Darkseid, undisputed ruler of Latveria… er, Apokolips!… asked to sit for a portrait, I haggled on the price a bit. But when he offered to pay me in Omega Beams, my response, naturally, was “On the house, sir!”

“To be continued”? WHAT?? You mean I have to write more of this??
(Oh, right! I promised a complete graphic novel a few years ago that is turning into a decades-long nightmare! How silly of me to forget!)
Well, first things first. I better slap a cover on this chapter and start selling it. I can’t keep living off my Pandemic Unemployment Assistance! (I mean, I can– probably for the next few years, actually. Coronavirus, I could hug you!) So, forgive me as I take the next two weeks off to turn this into a proper comic book, and maybe bring you another comic book to read as well!
See you on July 13th!
