Well, we’re back. Feels REAAL good to get back to my drawing table after a week of hard sketching on the computer. My eyes are happier, too. I did manage to start tackling a cool (in my opinion) Billy print/wallpaper – which you can check out further down the website. Or here, here, and here if you like. I figure I might as well document the process. If it’s gets all those rotting old posts off of the main page, so much the better.
I don’t think i’ve mentioned it here yet, but pretty soon I’m going to be starting up a new webcomic for the incredible CLYW – otherewise known as Caribou Lodge Yoyo Works.
It’ll be bringing together a bunch of the CLYW stable of characters (which is surprisingly deep for a yoyo company. Heck, it’s pretty deep for an animation company) in the most over-thought and pseudo-philosophical manner I can manage. Which will rock.
And speaking of Caribou Lodge, the man himself Chris Mikulin and a big chunk of his team are in Prague right now for the European Yoyo Chamapionship. So, GOOD LUCK. Chris sponsors some really amazing guys that absolutely live up to his incredible yoyos. Seriously though, I’m not biased.
Next week the comic should be back to normal schedule – meaning it goes up midnight Thursday, because I actually finish it before wednesday.
Thanks for being awesome and patient you guys!
Later,
J.
Nice page man. I checked out that Caribou Lodge site. Please tell me you haven’t spent $140 on a Yo-Yo.
I reserve the right not to comment – other than to say that I have a few very fine yoyos – two of which are CLYW.
However, I don’t think it’s any different than, say, me having a ridiculously expensive brush pen, or somebody else having a great guitar. It’s all a matter of what you love.
Considering the fact that I have spent hundreds of dollars on dragon statues, I would have to agree with that
Well – we at least know he eventually gets to the dorm. After what misadventures in the Dark Forest we will have to see. Very nice – cute little surprise to have the intercom become the receptionist-bot! Very stylish and creative. Not quite as intimidating as the big Eyeball outside Jabba’s Palace, but startling just the same. And it seems to have a certain amount of sympathy in its little silicon personality. Beautifully crafted, Jason.
Oh, and I am not one to judge about how much one spends on one’s hobbies, either. Let’s just say I could have bought a car with what I’ve spend on models over the years …
This is getting fun, you can Billy’s not overconfident but slightly afraid of what might come out
and try to guide him.
I also am not one to say anything about spending money on hobbies, I spent $1,700.00 on a Conn 10d Horn (23 years ago). Probably $500 on magic Cards etc., etc., etc…
We won’t discuss CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays to replace tapes and records.
I like the ripped pant-leg in the last panel. :]
Is this a Narwhal???!!!! COOL!!!!
So just how many miles is the Dorm from the school?
I’ve broken that $100 barrier on a yo-yo before. When people smirk I inform them that my barely played with PSP is sitting on my desk but I’ve worn the paint off my $75 Night Moves II yo-yo.
I’m glad to see we all have ludicrously expensive hobbies. Hooray for us!
