AIDS, Nuclear Warfare, Tony the Tiger

I assure you folks, I'm working on FAQ2 and I'm about to start cranking the gears.


cheer me on dear lord!

Also, I have tagged all FAQ postings so you can now peruse the archive of pages easily. Also also, I printed up 32 page mini comics with full color covers, they are 2 bucks a piece, contact me if you are interested.

I'm currently writing the script for issue 2 in my head, I find it very difficult yet necessary to physically write out a script. It is so tedious to imagine all of this fun stuff to draw and restrain myself to typing out descriptions of it. One could say that I should just thumbnail out my stories, I would do this but I find it really difficult for people to peer review my comic if it is just a bunch of gestures and scribbles. Does anyone else face this dilemma?

Savannah has been treating me okay. I probably won't be able to go to SCAD, well, at least not until grad school but that's a few years down the road. I'm looking into going to Armstrong, I guess they can consider me a resident of Georgia since I work full time. This is really good news because in state tuition for a state school in Georgia is cheaper than community college tuition in new york. It's crazy! Armstrong seems very affordable and I can't wait to go. The only thing that's been bugging me lately is the serious lack of ladies in my life. Hopefully this will change once I go back to school. Then again I was never that good with girls in college either...
I have been going through another R. Crumb phase. I bought a couple issues of Weirdo and Zap Comix from Bizzaro Wuxtry back at Fluke and it re-sparked an old interest in his work. I'm thinking about popping in the Crumb documentary today. I mean I have seen the damn thing dozens of times but I still love watching it, I always get something new out of the film. I bought "Kafka" with illustrations by Crumb as well as full comics adapted from passages of Kafka's most popular books. Also the Jen Library has a few volumes of the complete crumb collection, I love them. I used to just be interested in Crumb's illustration talent, but as I become more of an adult, particularly a poor, cynical, cartoonist, I find I really connect to his stories as well.

I finished the first issue of Fantasy Adventure Quest which turned out to be 32 pages, I still have 16 pages to post plus issue 2 pages, so for the next couple of weeks I will be posting a page a day as well as some sketchbook stuff that I have been doing.

http://stopvirgin.movielol.org/. Virgin has confirmed that they are talking to other major corporations about destroying net neutrality. For those of you that don't know what net neutrality is, it's equal bandwidth for everyone. Big companies like comcast verizon and virgin want to get rid of net neutrality so they can sell bandwidth at a premium rate to people who have money, this means the little guy's voice won't be heard anymore. I think all the grassroots movements that have happened recently have had a lot to do with the accessibility of the internet. These companies want to silence the voice of the little guy and turn your internet into another shitty tv channel. I think everyone can help by just raising their voice. The internet is a tool that has opened up so many possibilities for all sorts of people. Why take that away?
