Manly Guys Doing Manly Things

I’ll be honest, I’ve never been one for blogging. I prefer to say my piece in as few words as possible lest I get rambly, so blogs for me always start out with lofty ambitions and end up abandoned within the month. I figure as long as I keep a solid commitment to updates the comic will get regular attention, at least. Then this wordy part will just get it’s words swapped out whenever they become obnoxiously stale.

So I’m thinking I may post extra doodly art down here. Just the things that I draw at my leisure instead of working harder on comics so I could theoretically promise more than one update a week. Teasers for future stories and the like. So I’ll kick it off with a younger version of the Commander, relevant to a story I have planned assuming I don’t get bored of it before the time comes to start drawing. Prime for printing off and hanging in your locker with the rest of your dreamy boys. I’m sure he’d make a smashing complement to Zac Efron and… I dunno who’s popular with the kids these days… Fabio?

I guess that’s it for now. Just a head’s up that you guys can feel free to email me with whatever broken links or spelling errors or other things I may have messed up that are grating on you. Or if you have suggestions, things you want to see implemented, staggeringly macho characters from games and movies that you feel need to be brought to my attention, anything like that, I’m all ears. I guess one last note, I’ve had a couple people asking if they can make icons out of the faces in some of the strips. I’m totally cool with that, and if there’s a face you’re after with word bubbles in the way go ahead and give me the panel you’re after and I can send you a version without words bumming all over it.

Thanks much, guys! Hope I can make something that you folks will enjoy.

I was fortunate enough to see Clash of the Titans the other day, CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE, MY FRIENDS.

By which I mean I laughed so hard I was in tears. The perfect storm of just… top-shelf horrible excellence, I don’t even know what to say. Everything was masterfully awful, it’s like somebody wrote a moderately competent story, then another guy went through and made fun of everything and someone else was like “Oh hey, let’s make that instead.” PRE-PARODIED MOVIES, MY FRIEND, WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?

so I made you some comics.

They’ll live on forever under that Extras tab up at the top with the rest of my comics that aren’t specifically about Commander Badass and his bros.

I don’t know what it is, but something about Sam Worthington just makes him like… the most boring person to watch a movie about. Some kind of complete lack of charisma, sort of like they posed out a department store mannequin and drew some sort of expression on it’s face with a magic marker, then got everybody in the scene to act around it. He’s got that “well, I guess he’s good looking because there isn’t anything wrong with him?” look about him, like a Ken doll or Ben Affleck. I guess it’s a good thing they always cast him as the main character in his movies, because otherwise he would be completely invisible.

Also, I still haven’t forgiven him for ruining the last Terminator movie.

On a completely unrelated note, a friend of mine recently told me that she is going to write a fanfiction about Xanatos and Thailog from the Disney Gargoyles series.
So I decided to make fun of her.

It was funnier in my head, I think. Ryker isn’t much of a punchline.

Magikarp is the Travis Bickle of Pokemon.

As in, I swear to God when he evolves he’s going to kill you all.

Interest has been shown in a forum for the site, so I figured I’d ask if there was enough general interest with folks to get one going. It could be great, we can all have sleepovers and braid each others’ hair and argue about who rocks the bullet speed the most in Spartacus: Blood and Sand
