Far Out There: Madlib 3 - page 12

OOOOOOOH SNAP.  You know things are getting real 'cos there's color now.

Pattie would make a good internet commentator.  She hates everything.

Also, SURPRISE WORLDBUILDING!  We learn more and more about the Persean Confederation that keeps getting name dropped, AND a surprise call-back to 2018-02-07 18:14:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Far Out There: Madlib 3 - page 10

The first rule I'm setting for myself regarding future madlibs is "Don't let it get longer than five or six pages" but immediately after that will be "DON'T TRY TO WRITE A WHOLE DANG SONG FROM SCRATCH."  Now, I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that I would have managed to get all these pages ou...

Conventional Wisdom: Konosuba - page 10

I maintain that this is NOT a topical comic on the grounds that it's making fun of the terrible, insufferable personalities of the people DOING the complaining, not what they were complaining about.  And anyway (for the benefit of those who HAVEN'T committed my entire life's chronology to memor...

Conventional Wisdom: Thinking About Vans

I’m hoping I’ll already have the MAGFest 2018 comics posted by the time I get this blog post finished, in which case you’ll have already heard that my actually getting into a hotel room was a bit… eventful. Between that and my overall re-evaluation of how I do conventions (whi...

Far Out There: Madlib 3 - page 9

Pattie is just WOWING us with her motherly demeanor, isn't she?

Also, this batch of comics is officially longer than any of the other short Far Out There stories as of this page.  Only the Jenna comic is longer... and even with how long that's been on hold, I can still guarantee this one won'...

Far Out There: Madlib 3 - page 8

I'm just gonna throw this out there: I've learned to play guitar and cello in my time, and I cannot even BEGIN to fathom the mental and physical coordination a person would need to have in order to competently play EITHER of them while singing.  I was having a good day when I could remember not...

Far Out There: Madlib 3 - page 7

OOOoooooh, gradients!  That must mean I ran out of funny faces to draw in this page!

Slightly random, but the first batch of these pages took a LOT more editing than I expected, and the reason is kind of hilarious.  I went back to drawing these comics in singe, whole-page chunks rather t...

Far Out There: Madlib 3 - page 6

Once could argue that this is out of character for Mooney, since we saw her masterminding a scheme to sneakily get at a superweapon.  I would counter that she was being completely bamboozled by a pair of con artists and the superweapon didn't exist.  Clearly, complex thinking isn't REALLY ...

Far Out There: Madlib 3 - page 5

No, seriously. People talking and funny faces.  Throw in some geeky scifi references and that's basically all I need as an artist.

Far Out There: Madlib 3 - page 4

Two characters, sitting around and talking, making funny faces.  This is probably the comic I was born to draw.

Far Out There: Madlib 3 - page 3

Another reason I got WAAAAY too into writing this batch of comics was because I really relished the chance to actually do something more with Pattie's character.  Normally, we only see her either in Layla's recollection or reacting to Eric, so having even the briefest opportunity to establish s...

Far Out There: Madlib 3 - page 2

A few little things:

1. I already know that part of the next madlib will be that THERE IS NO DIALOG.  That's, like, 75% of why I tinkered with this thing so frickin' long.

2. Brace yourself for perhaps the WORST drawn zither in the history of contemporary art.  I mean, I can barely...

Far Out There: Madlib 3 - page 1

Holy CRAP has this one been hanging over my head for a long time.  I went and tried to specifically word the madlib so that it'd be extra simple and easy to draw so that it'd get done more quickly... only for Seros Senric's submission to be so fascinating that I ended up writing the longest (no...

Conventional Wisdom: AWA 2017 - page 5

No, seriously, it was really dangerous.  The drive from the suburbs of Atlanta to up North of Raleigh is pretty punishing if you aren't properly prepared, and... well, I was up at, like, 6am to make sure I got all my stuff out of the hotel before the elevators got all jammed up.  That is n...

Conventional Wisdom: AWA 2017 - page 4

Not a whole lot to add to this one.  The park space winding through all these office buildings is still AWA's best secret spot, and a good friend of mine spotted me fr...

Conventional Wisdom: AWA 2017 - page 3

So, yeah, in case you haven't noticed, Cindy from Final Fantasy XV is one of THE female cosplays to do at the moment.  I had the weird fortune to wander into the hotel lobby right as a FFXV photoshoot was gathering, and it was genuinely unnerving to keep seeing the EXACT SAME COSTUME walk by ag...

Conventional Wisdom: AWA 2017 - page 2

This is always a bit of a paradox for me at cons.  On the one hand, I wanna get down to the con floor and put out flyers early, before the rest of the rabble has a chance to clog up the halls.  But on the other hand, heading down TOO early means the hotel staff is still cleaning up, and la...

Coventional Wisdom: AWA 2017 - page 1

Okay, a quick confession before we start: these comics have actually been finished for DAYS now, I just never had time to sit down, write the comments, and post the things.  Heck, I technically STILL don't have time, today's Far Out There is already two hours late.  But yeah, at long last,...

Conventional Wisdom: Konosuba - page 9

See?  SEE?  I TOLD you I'd be able to get a second page up this week!

Chomusuke ranks right up there next to Bunny Manager from ServantxService on my list of pointless characters I like and don't care.  Completely gratuitous mascot fodder with no meaningful contribution to the story...

Conventional Wisdom: Konosuba - page 8

Seriously, I have GOT to start making it up to you guys for how crappy this year as been, update-wise.  Really, I SHOULD have done something like this immediately after the Anohana comics dragged out so long... but there kind of wasn't a second season of that show to tack on as well ("Oh no, sh...

Conventional Wisdom: Konosuba - page 7

A few facts:  First, I got sick AGAIN over the weekend, and this page turned out SUPER sloppy as a result.  Sadly, this is the VERY cleaned up version.

Second, this page shaped up as sort of the opposite of the second page.  It was written to be a bunch of random writer guys having ...

Conventional Wisdom: Konosuba - page 6

Oh, anime.  Is there any other medium that's ever had as hard a time figuring out the difference between being a satire of something and just being a really extreme example of that thing?  "No, see, all these gratuitous moments of nudity are making FUN of gratuitous nudity!" and that sort ...

Far Out There: Christmas Is Looming...

Oh snap, it’s almost Christmas time! You know what THAT means! The same two dozen songs on every radio station, sentimentally manipulative commercials for two straight months, aggressively forced nostalgia wherever you turn, and SO MUCH blatant commercialized materialism! Truly, it IS the Most Won...

Conventional Wisdom: Konosuba - page 5

There are a lot of times where I come up with joke ideas that belong in a youtube video, not a webcomic.  Ya know, stuff where you just edit clips together, and the juxtaposition IS the joke?  That sort of thing's easy when you can just grab the original clip, but it's WAAAAY harder to do ...

Conventional Wisdom: Konosuba - page 4

WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!? Another Weekly Anime Comic WITHIN THE SAME WEEK AS THE LAST ONE?  That's, like, still failing to live up to the name, but in a way I'd have to go out of my way to achieve!  But yeah, I wanted to get SOMETHING else up this week, but the AWA 2017 comics aren't ready ye...

Conventional Wisdom: Konosuba - page 3

You know what's sad?  There's a whole generation of kids out there who have no idea what I'm even talking about, and probably think Konosuba did the whole "Dude wishes for the goddess who offered him the wish" thing first.  I tell ya, kids these days.

Also, WHOA!  Two Weekly Anime C...

Conventional Wisdom: KonoSuba - page 2

I hate doing "comics about how I'm not getting comics done" like this.  It gives me bad flashbacks of those old Xanga blogs where you'd see a whole page of "Sorry I haven't been posting more" entries.

Buuuuuut, yeah, I couldn't pretend this didn't happen.  I mean, I gave prior warning th...

Just a little thing...

...but I wanted to point out to you long-suffering patrons that my most recent Patreon payout managed to EXACTLY cover (like, down to the cent) the badge for MAGFest.  Seriously, even after Patreon shaved off their cut, it still somehow managed to nailed the precise amount.  Once again, yo...

Conventional Wisdom: Some Rambling About Plushies

(I started this on the laptop while the computer wasn’t working, but then I got distracted by the mad dash to get caught up on everything else after it started working again. Hey, figured I might as well hurry up and finish it right now)

I have a Scribbles plushie. I dunno if ...
