Originally I was gonna say "The two most beautiful words in the english language...pay day." But then I thought of the Donnie Darko quote, which led to the first two panels. As I was laying it out I thought, "Really, pay day is THE MOST beautiful phrase?" To me it just seems shallow and lame that money would be the most important thing. But it is important don't get me wrong, but it shouldn't be above all. Or something like that haha.
Also, do I get indie cred for referencing that movie?
Enjoy the long post for once, later.

So that's what makes this comic special.

(Brown Eyed Girl, Van Morrison)
I think I've just been focusing too much on doing jokes. Which I feel was never what this comic was about. It was about how I feel. I guess awhile ago I tried to deal with stuff that was bothering me by just making a joke out of it. It worked for awhile, but it sorta evolved into just writing funny comics with a sort of depressed edge. I really don't want this comic to be about telling jokes for the sake of it being funny. I just want my megaphone back(as the title states). So let's relive the good old days of depressing, funny and insightful comics about my life shall we?
If your still reading, come check out my band pulling two open mics in one night. First will be The Dive around 9:30, then we high tale it over to Krunch around 11. Let me know if you need directions.
