Another strip bites the dust. That’s six in the can, and four to go until double-digits. Because double digits are important.
I’m sorry if the lettering in this first series of strips has been a little inconsistent. Most have been hand lettered in ink, but the last one was lettered by hand on my tablet. This one is in ink again, and suffers a little for it. It’s the price I have to pay for forcing myself to learn how to letter decently.
Look for a new strip later this week…
I haven’t cleaned a toilet for one full week. Holey Moley.
I only clean this toilet, now.
For those of you who may not know, I spent the last year cleaning for money - and when my dusting job was cut, I moved into the poo scraping industry. Which is fine. It wasn’t a bad job. You know, except for all the feces.
But now, now my friends - I make copies. Life is officially fulfilling.
By the way, comic tomorrow due to an unforeseen influx of social life.
No really, some guys admitted to it. Granted, it seems pretty doubtful that it was just these two guys who started the entire crop circle phenomena, but somebody has to take the blame for ridiculous shit like this. Seriously, we’re talking about bent up agricultural crops. Hopefully surplus crops, because I’ll bet famine ravaged areas of the world would be pretty pissed to see us playing with our food on such a large scale. Come to think of it, do crop circles exist in Uganda?
To be fair, they are awful purty…
It's a jellyfish! Aliens love making pictures of species native to our own planet! That's how they prove they've been...in the...uh...ocean?
This jellyfish is from the current “crop” of circles (yeah, I said it. Stupid topics deserve stupid puns), which apparently are aquatically themed for 2009! So go get your twine and your wooden planks and lets make some appropriately themed wastes of food! Screw the poor!
Seriously though, these guys are awesome.
This is relevant to my interests, so you get to read it. Look for a new comic soonish…I’m real busy. Maybe sunday. No promises.
So, it’s going to be a little longer until I can get the new comic up, what with the two jobs and the death cold keeping me up all night and such - however, just for you, I made a little picture about THE BEST POWER-UP IN THE HISTORY OF GAMING.
I’ve been making my way through Super Mario Bros. 3 lately, just for fun. Nostalgia definitely goes a long way when it comes to the eight-bit era, but this game holds up perfectly. Tight controls, perfect level design, and great art direction make it one of the real stand outs from my horribly misspent youth. The best part are the super short levels. Just when you think you’ll never beat that one brutal level, it’s over. Sometimes it’s only one or two major obstacles per level. It can be hard, but never frustrating.
All of this would still make for an amazing game, but the addition of the Kuribo’s Shoe pushes it into gaming history. Seriously, in a game with tons of different suits, common and rare, the designers still decide its just not enough. So, in ONE level and only one, you get this…
It’s level 5-3. Go play it.
Are you there god? How about there?
Okay, maybe not king of the mountain - but I did climb a mountain. With my car, mostly. Still…
The point is, I am king of this website, and I’m happy to announce that it is fully operational. For a start, I plan on putting up a new Billy the Dunce strip twice a week - with maybe a missed strip or two in the next month (I’m going to be working two jobs for a short time). I’m not yet sure what specific days I’ll be updating, but as I find a rhythm, I should be able to nail down what days work best.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the first strip, and here’s to many, many more.
I’m sick by the way. I sleep now.
