First, thanks to Dave for his help on today's comic.
Well Folks. I've talked about it before. So I'm bringing it up again. I'm currently thinking about redoing my book. Making it bigger so it's easier on the eyes. So that means rescanning a LOT of comics. It would be from November 11th 2004 to October 10, 2005. Another idea is doing my favorite comics from the past 3 years into another book. So I just wanna see if you all are into those idea.
I also was thinking of doing prints. I was thinking like $5 for a print and $10 for a framed print. The price would include shipping. Let me know if that interest you guys either.

"Lost 12 hours of my day, but it's okay, just black it out. Evil things in my pants. Forever fearing contact. Woah, yeah! Woah! Now I know why I wanna be left alone. Lost 12 hours of my day. But it's okay. Just black it out." (Little Girls, Say Anything)

The green card thing. They had these coaster things that had a green and red side. If you had the green side up they'd bring you meat until you flip the card. After a while it became a strategy to get the person you wanted to come over.
I close with a happy birthday to my Grandma.

"Well traffic's kind of bad. They're widening easy street to fit more suvs. They're planting baby trees to grow to shady peaks. A little shelter from the sun or the upper tax bracket. Here on the cul-de-sac we're not giving back until the community repents." (Greater Omaha, Desaparecidos)

That is all.
"It's been a long day living with this. It's been a long time since I felt so sick. I took a long walk straight back home. I could've walked back to Chicago. I used to long for time alone.

Sorry for no Update Yesterday, was out really late.
You remember Mark, he does Autumn Lake. Yup he also gave me some awesome guest comics. Subsequently I've become friendly with Mustela of World 2, Courtney over at Marksville, Kyle and Noah at Vacant and Engaged(Kyle resembles me haha), and I have even got a kind word from David Buist who does Taking the Bi-Pass.
I just wanted to finish this fan week with a Thank you to everybody. Everybody who takes time out of their day to read my comic. You make this comic worthwhile. LOVE YOU ALL!!
"You were everything I wanted. But I just can't finish what I started. There's no room left here on my back. It was damaged long ago. Though you swear that you are true. I'd still pick my friends over you." (My Friends Over You, A New Found Glory)
Ugh, man I feel like I'm pulling double duty. Drawing all pics for my friends then drawing the comic for today. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful I have something to do, but still hard man.
Thanks to you all. Later.
"What big thoughts you had. I can see them in your eyes. When you pretend to laugh. Reflection I see. Reminds me, of somebody like me."
"My shit stinks much better than yours, my shit stinks right down through the floor. With a feeling so pure, It's got you coming back for more." (Cigaro, System of a Down)
It's true, she told me she plans to read all of my comics. Now since I did this strip she kinda has to haha. I just wanna make clear that I'm not making her, she's doing this all on her own. Which is cool. Granted there are people who've been reading this strip for a long long time, but I doubt anybody has read them all. If there is nobody told me. But I think it's important to point out though that she is a new reader and she's never met me in real life. Which I think is interesting to point out.
Also in the spirit of fan appreciation week, I decided to ask you guys if you want a pic with yours truly here(meaning comic Tim not the real me). I already did a few, but I figured I'd ask the rest of you if you wanted a pic too. Just make sure you have reference for me too look at. Leave me a comment if you want one.
That's it, love you all.
"If we listen to each other's heart. We'll find we're never too far apart. And maybe love is the reason why. For the first time ever we're seeing it eye to eye." (I 2 I, Tevin Campbell)A GOOFY MOVIE!!!
When I say official, that means I made it with iron on transfers on a shirt she gave me. Still official none the less.
See you tomorrow.
"The morning will come. In the press of every kiss. With your head upon my chest. Where I will annoy you. With every waking breath. Until you decide to wake up." (Wake Up, Coheed And Cambria)
I thought this week would be interesting to give a few shout outs to some people I know. So who will be next?
"I'm driving listening to my radio. Checkin out the airwaves for something to believe in. Gimme something to hold true. Gimme something to sing about. Gimme a reason to care. I'll sing along forever." (Sing Along Forever, Bouncing Souls)
Haha, I like this one. Especially when combined with the title.
"He caught a bullet in his bubblegoose. You can be at the party gettin' loose. But you can catch a bullet in your bubblegoose." (Bubblegoose, Wyclef Jean)
