How I write the comic
[ 5/6/2004 03:25:36 PM]
Hall was nice enough to give you
guys a play by play on how he draws the comic, and
I for one thought it was cool, but as he pointed
out to me afterwards, the drawing is only half of
the comic, the writing is the other half, so it'd
be good for the peoples if I shared how I wrote
the comic. I thought this was a great idea,
because anything pertaining to me is inherently a
good idea.
How do I write the comic? Well it's a very
intricate process involving about ten minutes of
time and preferrably a drink. Hal usually gets a
hold of me a couple days before and says 'hey, I
feel like drawing something, you need to write a
comic' to which I reply 'what?' and he says 'a
comic, write one' and i say 'what?' and he says 'a
comic, write one' and I say 'okay!' and then I sit
and think. I usually try to think of the most
offensive thing I possibly can think of and then I
sanitize it for your protection through the roto
rooter of my brain. Then I run it through again
just to be on the safe side. If I can belittle or
deprecate one of the characters, preferrably Hal,
even better. After I get my idea, I build the
comic about it and try to end each episode with
some sort of slightly upsetting flourish. I
usually leave it pretty bare bones as far as
storyboarding goes, knowing Dave doesn't like to
necessarily work under an particular confines. I
give him as much free reign as I can. Sometimes he
goes a little overboard with the re-editing and I
need to smack him, but otherwise, things are
pretty true to the way I see them in my head.
A couple days later Dave will invariably have lost
the script, and we'll need to scramble to try to
remember what it was, both knowing it wasn't
nearly as good as the original incarnation, but
both too proud to say anything to the opposite
effect.

Cat beheadings [ 5/5/2004
06:34:32 PM]
How can I pass up the chance to
get the page listed on Google as mentioning
cat beheadings?
Listen, I am not a cat person. I am allergic
to cats. If I were surrounded by cats for
long, I would die. This makes the cat my
natural enemy. Some people don't like
Sailor Moon, and that's fine, but
Sailor Moon isn't gonna kill you.
Still I would not kill a cat.
But can I laugh at a commercial which depicts
a cat being killed? I didn't know.
Let me tell you, it took a lot of searching to
actually come up with this video, which I am
not going to link, I just trust you can garner
enough info from the
article to find it yourself if you're
interested. Think "foreign language."
Anyway, I have the answer. I could laugh at a
cat getting its head stuck in
a sunroof. But when the actually beheading
occured, well, I stopped laughing. But I
couldn't look away! Wow.

I try not to talk too
much, here, about how I make the
comics. I figure most people will be
bored. But then, whenever I go to some
site where there's any sort of drawing
tutorial, I consume it voraciously. So
here's a little bit about this
particular edition of TBM.

It takes a lot of guts
[ 5/1/2004 03:46:15

...to talk to your
friends about their problems with
marijuana or drinking, but it
could make all the difference.
