He sees you when you're sleeping

Kirby to his Land

With apologies to Roy Lichtenstein, and indeed to everybody else in the world.

Justified by the medium

Whoops, I gave them both the same name. I hope no-one noticed.

This was not a triumph

I'm afraid this proves it. It is thermodynamically impossible and can thus never be.

I AM SO SORRY.

Wall of text syndrome

They wear the ear-ring. It is their uniform.

A rare action sequence

Scanner news: I have a new scanner. Rejoice!

Man, that last panel is rubbish; I didn't think it through properly when I was doing it. I should redraw it. I should go and redraw it with a better explosion. It'd make more sense. It'd be something we could some day tell our kids. I'm gonna do that right now.

It was a rhetorical answer

It may not be funny, but it's true. I am as an ambassador for my kind.

See, I can do senseless violence

Ever thus to the genre-blind.

You may notice the complete lack of backgrounds. This is so that you can project your own context upon this tale! Oh, the fun. Why are they speaking with such awkward syntax? Which one is the baddie? What are they even talking about? Is that a special future gun, or did the cartoonist simply get carried away? You decide.

Or maybe I'm just too idle to spend an extra twenty minutes drawing scenery. Sigh. Doing backgrounds is hard. Why should I be the only one slaving away at it? If only I had access to Photoshop and Google image search, then I could have a world famous web comic, with its own range of T-shirts and tote bags. And respect! All the respect I can eat! You'll pay! You'll all pay!!

Incredible* gaming facts #37

Few are aware of the earliest release version of MGS2, which was swiftly recalled:*The word used here in its most literal sense.

Gaze not into the abyss

You can impose your own interpretation on this one. That way, whatever it is, it's your fault.

helscome my cartoon

This one didn't go quite right, hence the appearance of only two panels here. There was meant to be more, with some dialogue, and, you know, events. Uh, maybe later. If I can work up the impetus.

Interlude: Jim reads Penny Arcade

2008. Medium: MS paint.

I don't trust the Vort. I say we leave him behind.

See, I can do serious drama

There final panel wasn't originally going to be silent, but I couldn't decide which would make the best ending:

1) The zombies approach Wilson's corpse, moaning brain-dead banalities. He has escaped their fate.
2) Members of a rescue squad shout in vain down the corridor.
3) The entire town is consumed in a nuclear fireball.

So I ended up going with none of them, and the result is the tableaux you see before you. Nice punchline, yes?

Communist-capitalist dysphoria

It's those guys again. And this time they demand your unquestioning loyalty.

In the wake of tragedy

#comedyforum, 08/04/2005

[brain] You should become a priest so you can rise up and become Pope
[brain] then we can make jokes about you when you die
[Zagreb] yes
[SolidJim] Subverting the system from within! Yes, I like it.
[rich_byrne] I could be Pope anyway, no need to be a proest. I fi bribed enough Cardinals to put my name forward
[SolidJim] What would your Pope name be?
[rich_byrne] every baptised male RC is eligible
[SolidJim] Is there an internet thingy to tell you what your Pope name is?
[rich_byrne] Pope Peter Paul and Mary
[SolidJim] Oh, man! I'm not baptised. Will that show up on my permanent record?
[brain] and then you can use your pope powers to kill Rob Power
[SolidJim] Oh, man! I'm not Catholic. Do you think they'd pick up on that in the application process?
[Zagreb] If an unbaptised man become Pope, the EARTH SPLITS
[Zagreb] and TEH DEVIL EMERGES







[SolidJim] I drew a picture of myself as Pope being confronted by Satan, but it's not very good.

Equal Opportunities

Scanner news: I am reduced to using the work scanner. Don't tell them!

Beware the march of ideas

Barrels within barrels

I am seriously running low on old cartoons here. Can you tell?

Please do go on, it's fascinating

The stupid version

We're on reruns, as I've discovered Windows Vista has an exciting new feature where your scanner can now not work. Until I can figure out a way around this, we're rocking it 2004-style, I'm afraid.

Witless parody comics

In three fabulous colours!
