¡Que Curiosidad!

John: JESUS CHRIST IT'S LUIS GET IN THE CAR



This was made at the at the request of Luis, a friend and coworker of my brother, after he saw what I did to John. Luis is of Puerto Rican origin, and I swear it was his request to draw him as a ridiculously stereotypical Hispanic. Please don't send hate mail or post comments sayin' I'm an insensitive, racist prick. I may be the other two things, but I ain't no racist.

But feel free to call me a cracker-@$s honkey.

*UPDATE*

Jade Chan

The "Chan" can be read either as her last name or as the Japanese honorific suffix. It works quite well either way.




Pay no attention to the practice eye in the top left corner.

Okay, we're goin' way back now. It was at least as far back as 2005 when I drew these (again, in my mini sketchbook at work), which seems like several hundred years ago to me.

Does anybody remember Jackie Chan Adventures? That was a d@mn good show. Cartoons based off of real life celebrities have, in my opinion, a bad history (Camp Candy, whatever that MC Hammer show was called). But a few were quite good, namely the more recent Class of 3000 and Jackie Chan adventures.

Anyway, Jade was Jackie's (assumed) fictional niece. She's your typical young, spunky, female cartoon heroine, but I like her the most out of any other characters I can think of that fit that description. Probably cuz of the hoodie. And her hair. Females with short, dark hair always get to me.

Eh, Bee, Sees, Part 2

Tell me what you think of me.









Same as the last eh, bee, sees post, now with H through N. None of these were particularly interesting in my opinion. And the H is rather sucky. Maybe all my good ones were in A through G. So maybe I shoulda posted these in the reverse order.

On second thought, saying the alphabet backwards is really hard. It's fine as is.

Utterly Awesome

Finally! A female character that isnt' a sheep.



Peanut is hands-down my favorite girl character in Animal Crossing. She's just the cutest of them all. No contest.

I honestly wish that you had the ability in the game to beg animals that you meet in the city to move into your town. That way I could of already had Peanut, robot frogs, living teddy bears, and ninja rabbits in Pastel.

Midna

And some metal ring binders.



This is a sketch I did a couple of days ago at work. I love Midna, and that's probably the only reason that Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda game. If she weren't in it, my favorite would still be Link's Awakening.

She seems to be using her hair/third hand to... catch herself? Which is kinda redundant since she can float. Whatever, I just needed to draw something at the bottom half of the page to fill up the empty space. And don't get me started on her needlessly detailed head piece!

Eh, Bee, Sees

Next time, won't you sing with me?









I totally forgot about posting stuff I made in college. So here are these things. This is from way back in my Design class I had in my first semester. We had to take pictures of stuff that resembled a letter of the alphabet. We needed every letter, either all lower case or all upper case, all cropping had to be done when the picture was taken, not later on any software, and all "letters" had to be taken as is, as no setup was allowed. In other words, total hell.

But it came out alright in the end. Some are definitely better than others, but there are a few gems. My teacher, Drew, said he found the B to be most interesting of my pictures. I guess I concur.

Since I don't wanna wait forever for all the letters to load, I'm gonna break them up into four posts. I know you're dieing to see the rest of them, but be patient.

J00 Get That Rash Looked At?

Screw the blur tool. Smudge tool ftw.



Yet another week without a comic, as Mom wanted me to do an iPhone drawing of myself as I did with John the week before last. She sez that she's gonna make some scrapbook pages with them or something.

So... uh... yeah. There'll probably be a comic next week.

"Riot of the Blood" Fight

GET OUT LEONA IM FIGHT



No comic this week, as I was working on this to enter the fan art contest at the King of Fighters XII website. Winning something would be nice, but this was really more of an excuse to make a more detailed Photoshop pic. Not great, but pretty good.

I actually don't know a whole lot about the King of Fighters games, but I do own a few of them, and I know that Iori is awesome. I also know that him and another fighter named Leona can go crazy for whatever reason, and their eyes start glowing and they become all barbaric and whatnot. That seemed interesting enough, so that's what I drew.

Here's the original sketch that I used as the foundation and the line art, which I'm particularly proud of. I thought I would screw it up by adding color.




And finally, here's a big version incase you wanted to see the individual bits of dirt or the bane of my existence, the light gray halo around parts of the line art.

Criminals

He's packin' net, with his punk @$s.



It took me forever to draw the background in the second panel, and it still looks feh. I'm gonna get good at this one of these days.

It's kinda funny that the tool that would do the least amount of damage in real life is the only one that you can hit people or animals with in the game. I tend to use a bug net on neighbors that get in my way when I'm trying to get money out of rocks or running from bees. I also use it in the game.

I'm Hanging Up Now

Blur and magic wand ftw.



I made this when Dad wanted iPhone wallpaper of John with his hoity toity iPhone 3G, the phone that makes him spit at the regular iPhone owning riff raff such as Dad and I.

This is the image before I reduced it to iPhone dimensions. I drew John as he looks when I've observed him talking to a certain someone. A certain someone that shall remain anonymous for the sake of his and my well being.

Bird's Eye View

Why have I never used the magic wand and gradient tools before?



I think Hopper's gonna be my go to guy from now on in these comics. All the other animals in my town are coming and going, so there isn't any reason to put much attention on them. But I like Hopper, so he's staying. I'd also like Peanut and any robot characters to move in too, in which case I'd also give them more attention and more roles. I heard there's a robot frog. I'm gonna change his catch phrase to "affirmative."

Finally, robotic frogs rule the world.

Bug, Eyes

I have nightmares about those eyes.



I feel heartache and disappointment that Blathers is no longer fixated on how one should prepare and eat the fish that you donate to the museum. Those were some of the funniest speeches in the last game. I guess Nintendo figured that's Chip the fishing tourney judge's shtick now. But he's got no finesse! He just eats it raw! Then he burps!

*Studio audience laughter*

No, it's not that funny! Blathers went into great detail on how each individual fish should be consumed. Now that was funny.

I Know a Human Boy About Your Age

If he's not sleeping, he's forgetting.



Tortimer, Tom, the Able Sisters. They're in every player's town, yet they have the same name and say and do the same things. Are they all the same person? We can't assume one player's town goes on as if other towns don't exist, because you can travel to other towns. Towns that also have Tortimer, Tom, etc. So are there several of these characters? If so, do they know about their clones living in other towns? If the Tom Nook in my town of Pastel ran into the Tom Nook of Beth's town of Sydney, would they be all like, "Hey good lookin'," and think nothing of it? Or would they be both amazed and terrified that there is a living double of themselves, gather all the other Nooks from all the Animal Crossing towns in the world, and start a horrible Planet of the Tom Nook's?! In my opinion, almost certainly yes.

Phillip runs out the door and screeches away in his car.

Fast Food Franchises Aint S#@*

Headline: Man Yells at Clown



I found out by accident that Tom can go back to previous versions of his shop depending on how you answer a certain question. Does anybody find that useful? I don't see why you wouldn't want to keep the bigger shop with more stuff to buy. And what about Timmy and Tommy? Were they fired because Tom didn't need them in a smaller store? Will I have to go through the rest of my life with this horrible guilt, knowing that because of my answer to Tom's vague question I've put two upstanding tanukis, who've bared no ill will to anyone, out of job, a job that was most likely their only source of income? Will this weeping of burning tears of culpability never cease?

Nah, I'm sure they'll be fine.

Basements Aint S#@*

But flags are.



I wish I could buy the other houses in town that are reserved for other players. No one else is gonna play this game on my Wii, why let those vacant houses just sit there?

I'll be like, "A basement? How about four basements, mutha f@&%*#!"

Pansies

HA! Metaphors.



Oh boy! My first comic that only makes sense if you've read a certain previous comic! Which is this one.

Ed looks rather effeminate for a male jock character. Long eyelashes, purple eyeliner. I remember Birdo in the instruction book for Super Mario Bros. 2 was described as a being guy who puts on a bow cuz he thinks he's a girl, so maybe it's another Nintendo thing.

Wait. If Birdo was a guy, how did it spit out eggs?

Please Leave

Personally, I say one sheep is too many.



No, really. When the new Pastel started out, there were three sheep characters in town! Three! But two eventually moved, and, recently, so did Joey. I use to hate it when animals left in Wild World, but now I'm hoping they'll move to make room for the ones I grew attached to in the last game. You can complain about the animals in town hall, why not make one of the options to request that they move?

Or maybe you could threaten them with bug nets. Animals don't seem to like those.

Snow, Man

Dirtman. Hm. Sounds like a Mega Man boss.



I know the snow in Animal Crossing has been gone for a while now (on February 25th, it disappears all instantaneous like), but I figured all the stuff that happened in the previous comics would happen in one day.

You may have noticed with the DS and Jack Skelington sweaters that I try not to give my Animal Crossing comic self designs that originated from the game. Since it promotes creating your own designs, I figure I'd draw clothing artwork that I've made or would make in the game, which is obviously fan art of other franchises. I'm gonna try to have a different one for each comic, but I'm sure I'll run out of ideas pretty quickly and hate myself for even attempting.

The Bees, Part 2

Wait, didn't I hear this joke on The Simpsons?



You know what? I lied when I said bees were the only protagonists in Animal Crossing. I forgot about the tarantulas and scorpions. They stare you down before they decide to charge at you and f**k up your s**t. Heck, if they bite or sting you, you actually pass out and reawaken inexplicably in front of your house. Kinda like what happens with Wall Masters. I guess it's a Nintendo thing.

I'm still more scared of bees though. You run into them a lot more and they leave your face horribly mutilated. They must be stopped.

Llost

WARNING This comic contains foul language. If you take that kinda stuff seriously, then don't read. If you're like me and you think cursing is juvenile and hilarious, then read away.



Yet another strip written by my brother, then drawn by me as he sits back with his feet on the table and drinks champagne. Too much champagne, apparently. I personally don't get so "confused and angry" about Lost, as I don't make any attempt whatsoever to watch it. I suggest to John that he does the same.

The new guy is Bob. He's... like... fat, and stuff.
