Whole new meaning to Daddy Issues.

So Phil told me he was going to stay in Russia and marry a cosmonaut.

In Mother Russia

So here's you fancy new comic courtesy of a little altercation between the artist and the writer. To spare you the details our writer made a completely stupid request which was promptly vetoed but the veto was promptly vetoed as well. Then the words, "Make it work," were uncouthly uttered and thus spawns this filler strip. The real strip to follow by Thurs.

To be fair, I did not make a stupid request. I merely wrote a panel in which the character's emotion changed drastically in the same panel. Yes this is impossible to draw, hence the blurry abomination and cryptic message I can only assume is directed at me. So it was a mistake, one that would've been instantly fixed had Bryan and I been in the same room, let alone the same city or state. Things being what they are, however, meant that these conflicts did not come to light until late last night. The fix took all of ten seconds. These are the trials and tribulations of long distance artistic relationships. Also I'm in Russia for the week. Speaking of even longer than usual distances.

p.s. apparently logging on to blogger in Russia means that all the menu options are automatically set to Cyrillic. f-ed up shit man.



Yeah I was only kidding around and forgot to explain the real reason to this strip because I was drunk. Story of my life.

Breaking News!

So this may or may not have been current news when it was conceived. Who can say what happened when? By the time you read this it will be so far in the past anyways that this comic might as well have been made seconds after the story broke. So let's pretend that's what happened. Yeah up-to-the-second news jokes may not be what we should focus on, but I stand by my theory that the longer ago something happened long the less noticeable dated commentary becomes. So don't read this for another year and I wager you'll piss yourself laughing.

Style changes are creeping in, but I can't comment too extensively on that, since I am not the drawing guy person. Someday the profession will be legitimately recognized with a title, but until then DGP will have to suffice as an abbreviation. Or art slave. I'm good with either. Anyways I'll leave it to the DGP to speak on that if he wishes.

I think the title of "Batman" would suffice. "Spiderman" would also work.

Hump Day

Can't speak for both of us but I'd be good with just the humping.

One Week Anniversary Spectacular!!!!

Hard to believe it's been a week already! Looking back on the what's happened in the past 168 hours there's a lot to be proud of and a lot that we shall never speak of again... mostly the crisco-covered orgies. *shudder*

In retrospect starting with comics about The Ultimate probably wasn't the best idea since it isn't a great way for us to show off our skills right off the bat. However these were the first ideas that got us creating so it seems fitting in a sense to start the blog with the start of our working together. There was some debate about whether or not to skip this one altogether but some kind of surprise night shift on the part of the art slave caused the replacement comic to languish in an unfinished state. Alas, until next week when it will be even less relevant!

Also I think updating every Wednesday works. Something to look forward on hump day, besides, you know, the humping.

Comic the first!

Okay, so this is the "debut" of a webcomic my art slave and I have been working on for a couple of weeks now. I do the writing and he does the drawing. It's called Dude-les because we're dudes (surprise) and because there's no established theme or coherent universe to speak of. In the most epic sense, it's a representation of two young men who struggle against the chaos of young adulthood by resorting to depraved acts of sexual desperation to pay the rent, and who also are have some bizarre and potentially humors yarns to weave in the oldest and noblest form of storytelling. Pretty sure Homer was a webcomic guy before he became a poet [citation needed]. In the simplest sense, it's two guys who have always wanted to make a comic finally doing it. We've been talking about this shit since high school but we didn't actually do anything until two weeks ago so I presume our talents will have aged like a fine wine. Fingers crossed. Things may start off slow but we promise to find our groove ASAP.

P.S. The Ultimate is an amazing hero whose deeds and legends cannot be contained in a mere 4 frames. Expect his dildo-bladed greatness to return many a time.
