Yup, hopefully you enjoyed the comic. Night.
"This one, he got a princely racket. That's what I said, now. Got some big seal upon his jacket. Ain't in his head, now. You marry him, your father will condone you. How bout that, now. You marry me, your father will disown you. He'll eat his hat, now."
(Two Princes, Spin Doctors)
Yup I actually went out on a day where I said I haven't left the house in 3 days. Ironic.
But it was for the best cause, TRANSFORMERS!!! It was awesome. Kinda lame in a few parts but the transforming and few fight scenes are worth it.
Well today I finally picked up my check from about 2 weeks ago. Then I went to Target and bought Venture Bros. season 2. WOOOOOO!!.
That is all.
"We don't want you to get older(Let's just drink). And tell them what you would have done(Sit and sink). If you were us(You've got so much to lose, but I don't). I don't think you've got the guts(Let's just drink). I don't think you've got it in you(Sit and sink). You ain't got it, you ain't got it, no(You've got so much to lose, but I don't). "
(Sit And Sink, The Graduate)
It is true I haven't left the house for three days. First off, I spend money if I leave the house, with low cash and a trip coming up I figure it be helpful not to head out. Also no invitations out.
At the time of this posting I was invited out. So we'll see if it works out.
Night all.

The show was awesome. Didn't like Against All Authority, the sound sucked and not my band. Streetlight Manifesto rocked man. Less than Jake, I've noticed when they're not the closing act they have gimmicks. This time it was Price is Right, using some of the games to decide what album they were gonna play from. Awesome. I was tired by the time Reel Big Fish came on, so I wondered around, even went upstairs to the bar, couldn't afford a drink unfortuantly. But Reel Big Fish were fun, playing S.R. in different musical styles.
Well I say later folks.
"But she keeps crying. And they keep kissing. And I just hang about and listen."

Yup yup.
I just wanted to mention that due to lack of job I'm turning to you guys, my awesome readers, for donations. Any little bit helps. Also if you want you can ask for me to draw you something. You can go to the bottom of this post, till I figure out how to put it perminatly on here. Thank you.

Yea.
It kinda frustrates, saddens and annoys me practically all my friends have seen Transformers already. I realize it's sad how stupid I'm acting towards this movie. But I was looking forward to this movie since last year and I have yet to see it.
Well let's just move on shall we?

"So now that these numbered honeymoon days are through. She says to him, I'm so glad that all our feelings are true, I can't believe that you're still, acting the same like we first met. He says, Don't you know that true love never dies? And then he put in The Princess Bride at parts where she cries. And she said, I'm glad that you know this is the way that I want it."
(Bob And Bonnie, Houston Calls)
Thanks to the Hitchman Siblings: Heather, Grace and Josh for a fun day.
Two things that happened that I didn't have space for, were driving around for what felt like forever looking for parking. And the fact we all had french fries for dinner.
It was weird being down there after so long. Lot's has changed. The prize wheel my Aunt spent her whole day at is gone, FUCKING GONE!!! However I think the guy who worked it moved to another place on the boardwalk. Also it's all about big prizes, playstations, wiis, 360s, flat panels. Deal or no deal really effected the shore I think. Not only is it an arcade game the cranes have suitcases containing different prizes. Also there are a lot more clothing stores. It's freaky to go there. The only amusing change is that they threw a Dunkin Donuts in the middle of the boardwalk.
Well that's it. Night all.
"Let the good times roll."
(Good Times Roll, The Cars) Might be back, we'll see.
Yup. heading to my favorite shore point, Seaside Heights, for a nice drive and some fun. Relax, I'm not going alone, I'm taking fellow animator Heather and her sister Grace to keep me company.
I also want to mention I saw "Hard Candy" last night. It was a fucking creepy, surprising and awesome flick. Go rent it, it'll be interesting.
Later folks.
Later.
Thanks to Theresa who texted me what I said so I could do today's comic. Truth be told I was drinking from a chipped glass when I said that.
It sounds funny to me.
Later folks.
Happy fourth all.
I really like the title. Haha.
Later.
That is all.
Fun times at casa de dave.
Later.
Yea, 1408 came out last week. Ironically I coulda done a comic about the movie coming out cause I didn't write anything haha. I just forgot it came out. Though I couldn't beat Joe from Joe Loves Crappy Movies.
I haven't seen it yet, but it's on my to do list.
Enjoy.
Half a decade I worked there. Sucks I didn't get the chance to make it a decade, but alas. It's time to move on.
Though few if any from the library reads this comic I'd like to thank them anyway: Thanks for the job and the time I spent there.
Later.
Yup, Later folks.
Nice change of pace. Doing a joke based on a conversation that happened with a real person. Strange. Though the conversation isn't word for word (my dialogue is actually made when I sat down to write the comic after we had the talk).
That's Andrew, he works at the library, obviously. For some reason he decided to bike on this hot fucking day. When he actually has a car. *shrug*. Later folks.
I'm so funny.
Saw Evan Almighty yesterday. Entertaining, but it didn't really grab me. Oh well. DIE HARD ON WEDNESDAY!!!(Probably won't see it till Friday or something).
Night.
Nutshots. A classic comedy tool.
I think I'm gonna relax with the music qoutes for awhile. It's hard enough thinking of a funny comic, I don't need the added problem of thinking of a song.
Sorry no comic yesterday. All I did was watch Venture Bros all day. Nothing to funny about that(Though the show is funny as hell).
Yea, under a lot of pressure now a days. So, later.
"Pressure pushing down on me. Pressing down on you no man ask for. Under pressure. That burns a building down. Splits a family in two. Puts people on streets."

A friend of mine from Rutgers(Nick) works at Quiet Man Studios. They do 3-D stuff and film for tv from as far as I can tell and they just moved into a new space. Everybody said it be a good experence that you'll make good contacts. Well all I did was work in the back doing the stuff in the comic not talking to anybody but my animator friends.
Might go back another day. It was a nice place.
Wooo no jury duty tomorrow either so I'm going to work for the same amount of money. Later.
A nice little joke from yesterday's comic. I woulda keep going but I got jury duty tomorrow, so I wanna write about the "thrilling" day I'll have there.
Take it easy all.
"Can you find direction now? You run with no direction."

Stay tuned. More on this tomorrow.
"So when sickness turns my ego up. I know you'll act as a clever medicine. If I turn into another, dig me up from under what is covering. The better part of me. Sing this song! Remind me that we'll always have each other. When everything else is gone. Oh, each other when everything else is gone."
(Dig, Incubus)
I honestly like the first couple fo lines of amazing grace. The idea of a song saving you is pretty cool. But to call myself a wretch is kinda mean. Also it's MC Hammer, so it's sorta religous.
Also Happy Father's Day to all the daddies out there.
"Father I will always be. That same boy that stood by the sea. And watched you tower over me. Now I'm older I wanna be the same as you."

Yea I see the loser-dom in teers. Geek being right in the middle. The difference I figure is how smart the person is. Dork being less smart then a geek, and nerds being smarter then geeks. At least how I figure.

Yup, yup. Another day at the library.
"The truth is that I'm overrated, I can't think straight, I'm formulaic. The truth is that it's sad to say it, but you can't help me. You, you don't see me that way. You hear the words that I say, you just tell me my heart's in the right place, it's the world that's confused, and it's never too late, to save a hopeless case."
(Hopeless Case, Less Than Jake)
Right this second, it isn't raining. But it has rained for the past two days.
I saw Knocked up with Polina yesterday. It was an awesome movie. The gang in the movie reminded me off my Rutger's friends. Just sitting around (sans pot). Funny, funny. Go see it if you liked 40 year old virgin and those movies.

Yea, for some reason one of my bosses decided to redo all the signage placed about the library. Which is cool. For above sake and portfolio pieces. When I finish all of em I might put it on my portfolio site.

Much thanks to Polina and her untrustworthy friend. I got to see Tool for free(even though chipping in for dinner, tolls, parking and gas was still cheaper then the ticket.)
They were fun to watch. They had lazers and interesting images. Didn't think the sound was too great, but still awesome show.
Afterwards me and Polina walked around the boardwalk. She even ran in the ocean.
Well Wishing Happy birthday to my sister today. Later.
"Foot in mouth and head up ass. So whatcha talkin' 'bout? Difficult to dance 'round this one. 'til you pull it out, boy!"

SOOOOOOOOO hot. Good thing I stayed in and watched movies all day. Ocean's 13 was A LOT BETTER then the second. And Pan's Labarinth was confusing and very strange.

Maya for those of you who don't know, is a 3-d animating and modeling software. A very popular one at that. It's used to make most of the animated and effect filled movies you've seen.
My grudge against this program is simply that I don't know how to use it. I have been educated on Softimage. Though it is popular as well. From description of jobs I have seen the require either Maya or 3d Max(another program I have no idea how to use). So now I have to learn them just enough to say I know how to use them and hopefully get a job.
That is all.

Originally the last panel was going to read "It be a pain in the ass" but when it came time to ink I added "still" and viola. A dimension I didn't even think off.
It's amazing how things can change so drastically with a simply addition of a word.
"Seventeen and coming clean for the first time. I finally figured out myself for the first time. I found out what it takes to be a man. Though Mom and Dad will never understand. What's happened to me!"

Ryan Philippe once said the best line about plans. "A plan is just a list of things that don't happen." I agree with that.
I just hate the word plan. It seems to have an expectation, if you don't meet it you just lose. Granted I'm sure anything I decide to do in the future can be called a plan of some sort, I just don't want to.
I do have ideas of what i might do. Of course the one I really think I could do is this comic. Make a leap like countless before me and go for the comic full time. Of course a few practical matters come up. The biggest to me is, do I have enough readers to actually justify full time? I do have a lot of readers, but do I have ENOUGH? Cause I need a fairly large amount of people supporting this strip to ever make the push to full time. Cause then I'd get a website, advertisements, merchandise, etc. Ehhhh I don't know. Maybe I should just go straight to print or something. *shrug* I shall ponder on this some more.
Well enough of that. Later kids.

What a great weekend. Thanks to Emily for putting it together. We started the weekend by meeting up with Eric, Andy, Jenny, and Jon at school. We moved Jenny's horses and laying mouse traps in the sculpture studio. Then met up with Emily, Lisa, Jeremy and Patrick at Jenny's apartment. Then we hit the road. There was a really sharp turn and shifting of leaders. Eventually we got down to Ocean City. Unpacked and started hanging about and broke out the beer. Eventually Nuemann and Mary Kate meet us at the cabins. Grilling and drinking continued. Eventually playing Kings and had the funniest rule ever(not allowing to use words with s's). After many hours we called it a night. The next day we headed to the boardwalk. Walked up and down and visited arcades and shops. Growing tired we picked up some chicken at the Acme and returned to our cabins. We then began grilling once more. setting a blaze many a coal and grilling many a blacken chicken. Said goodbye to Nuemann, Eric and Jeremy. Much more drinking and playing a drinking game to the Venture Brothers DVD. Eventually calling it a night and sleeping. The next day we cleaned up our wall of empty bottles and cans lining the ledges of the porch. We were now in search of an IHOP. After looking about we found one and ate quickly because I had to get home. Being the awesome guy Jon is he drove really fast to get me home. Which he did with 9 minutes to spare.
I also like to thank all the attendees of my graduation party. Much fun.
Well I need to rest up. NIGHT!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Also Happy Birthday to Kelly.
"And so we gather round Psycho Joe. The quiet loners always blow. Strap him in the chair. And killing bad guys is such fun. Too bad we only captured one. Are there any more out there.

What follows is a zig zag tale to where this comic came from. Don't ask me why I'm explaining it, but I thought it be somewhat interesting.
What sparked this was I was thinking of book called something along the lines of the hipsters bible. It was a book saying what's what in the indie scene and that it seem to be the be all and end all of it. It lead me too the thought of not just telling people how it should be, but how it is by observing hipster, and other scenes and writing about what they observe (don't get me wrong, I'm sure they researched it and the build the rules from that). Then I thought of Jane Goodall, famous for her observations of monkeys. Which lead me too the final thought of observing people to figure out things about yourself. Much like case studies are suppose to apply to everyone else that are similar.
Hopefully that all made sense.
Night folks.

First off, say hi to Andy.
Secondly, this joke is three fold. First Andy is the guy who thought of the title (all be it he used better grammar). Second, Andy is a big star wars fan. Third, IT'S A FUCKING QUOTE FROM A MOVIE!!!!
