Doin’ comics about my heroes.  Last week was Frank Black Francis.  Here’s a nuther:

It’s hard to fit everything I like about these guys in a single comic.  They take freakin’ forever to draw as it is.  Here are some links.

This is the best talk-show appearance in the history of man, and I’m not exaggerating (watch till the end):

Norm did the roast-thingee of Bob Saget.  One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life.

Unfortunately, most people don’t really seem to understand satire, including the deceptively named channel Comedy Central, who cut his brilliant performance from their actual show.

Norm explained later in an interview: “There was nothing outrageous in that at all. It was the opposite of outrageous, but a lot of people didn’t get it, even though it was a simple grade- two arithmetic concept. People thought I was mentally ill or something. It just occurred to me, because I didn’t really want to do it and Bob kept asking me to do it. And the producer told me it should be shocking. I watched a tape of it and saw everything on it was vulgar and filthy, so I thought the only shocking thing to do was the antithesis of that. So it’s pretty simple.”

Geez, there’s lots.  The hours I’ve wasted away watching Norm MacDonald interviews.  Now I’m doing it again looking for good videos….ENOUGH!!  Back to work!!!!  Those songs ain’t gonna write themselves, now are they???  Although they probably will in the not-too-distant future.  Damn Kurzweil.

Here are some comics from when I was in college!  I got really busy this week writing a song about The Colbert Report in my free time, so I couldn’t finish the comic (sorry Kristin – next week!).  By the way, I could only find two of these – does anyone happen to have any of these, from back in the Paperface days, or are they lost forever?  These made me laugh.  My past self made my present self laugh.  Weird.

Time for more illustrated autobiographical comedy stylings.

Made it.  Well, it’s still Sunday on the West Coast……shut up.

Recorded some new things for an exciting new secret project!  I’ll tell you about it soon.  Got to hang out with Andy Baldwin (what a bad drawing I did of Andy!), the genius Aussie producer with a heart of gold.  Brett and Bobby came along and Sonny was with us in spirit.

A bit late, kiddies!  I am a busy, busy, lazy man.

This week’s comic features an old friend to CM Enterprises, who I have attempted to disguise.  He doesn’t like to leave a “digital trail”, like Will Smith in that one movie with satellite cameras.  I drew him wearing every accessory I’ve ever seen him with, all at once!  What a lucky, handsome boy!

Two or three or four jobs (do you include “piano tuner” and “rock star wannabe?”), holiday visitors, and insane women have made keeping up with my site a difficult task.  But I’m struggling for the surface.  Today we have two comics!

As usual, this is stuff that happened to me.  That I thought was funny or endearing.

Have another!

Still experimenting with scanning method and size, and inks, etc.

Making comics is therapeutic and passes the time on stink-trains!

Real stuff that happened to me.  That I thought was funny.  That I made into comic form.

Tune in every Sunday for a weekly comic strip!  I’m going to draw comics of real events that happen in my life.  An American Elf or American Splendor wannabe.  I’m surrounded by unbelievably funny people and strange events (at least, to me) and it’s high time they’re put down on paper.

My laptop was stolen so I can’t mess with these and make them look pretty this week.  Also, I don’t have a scanner.  I plan to get better and better and this though.  Maybe even go buy some pens and stuff.  Anyone know of any comic-making/inking/scanning guides?  How does Kochalka do it?

Later my dad yelled, “GENTLEMAN, START YOUR ENGINES!” when we were sat on a roller coaster about to depart.
