Goblin minions? Goblinions?

Whatevs…

Here is strip numero three, and what’s that? Is that a human face? In cartoon form? Well, yes sir it is. Or ma’am depending on your gender. Or preference.

I’m getting back into the swing of things. The problem with taking such a long break from drawing and the magic of computer manipulation is the slow, crawling pace it takes to learn everything again. It’s easier the second time, I will admit, but it’s definitely not like something ingrained from birth. You know, like eating or pooping or getting sick after an all night bender. Those things are easy.

Anyway, enjoy this little taste. I think things get a tad different from here on in.

A Few Things

I saw a great movie a week or so ago. A really great movie that I honestly thought would do quite well. Thought it would at least debut in the number two spot seeing as it was up against Sylvester Stallone and the testosterone crew, but it didn’t even make the top three. In fact, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World debuted at #5, and while I can understand people not getting the whole concept because of how different a movie it appears to be from the commercials, to have a carefully crafted, cared-for movie such as this beaten even marginally by such a blatant shit-pile as Vampires Suck (no, I refuse to link that crap) is something akin to blasphemy.

Edgar Wright actually cares for his creations. He sacrifices sleep, personal life and much more to bring us something that people are actually willing to wet themselves rather than visit the restroom for fear of missing anything on the big screen.

But who am I? Just a customer, I guess. I certainly hope Scott Pilgrim makes more on DVD than theatre goers were willing to give it in the theatre. I’m not going to review it, either, because the simple fact is that Scott Pilgrim is original, fun, beautiful, well-acted and damn near perfect. I may have to group it in with my viewings of Fight Club from now on. I’ve told everyone I know that I love this film, and I’ll be sad if we don’t get anything like this out of Edgar Wright anymore because of the box office numbers.

On a happier not, today is awesome. Why is today awesome? I’ll tell you why today is awesome: this is the day before Terry Pratchett’s new novel I Shall Wear Midnight goes on sale.

Why is this awesome news? Because it’s not two days before Terry Pratchett’s new novel I Shall Wear Midnight goes on sale. Or three for that matter. Duh!

This is the fourth outing for Tiffany Aching, and I can’t wait to gobble it up. Then I’ll be sad that it’s over. Empty. Wanting more. Depressed…

And finally, the last thing I wanted to mention was this: Conan O’Brien has finally announced the name of his new show which premieres November 8th on TBS. Watch below to find out the unexpected title of his new talk show.

Sigh…

Spoke to soon. Every time I make a change, the previous change disappears. I upload a comic, the previous comic, the About page and the RSS feed is gone. I make a new About page, the new comic is gone.

My life is hard.

I’m Going To Beat Up ComicPress…

If it kills me. Or it. Or both. But I don’t wanna die, and I don’t want it to die, so I guess I’ll just give it a firm talking to, a time out (with no time actually served “out”) and make it get to work for me like the work horse it SHOULD BE!!!

Sigh… I just wanna draw. Is that too much to ask?
