A little talk

You may have noticed recently that I have been lax in posting comics. I have no excuse except I just didn't want to draw one. Not to pull a Mitch Clem here but honesty I just don't want to draw Stars on the Ceiling right now.

However I do plan on drawing. In fact check out this comic I drew. It's way different then other things I have done. Be interested what you guys think.



That's about it. Later folks.

This is what sounds like when nerds cry

Yup the company that owns the opposite software Maya has bought softimage. It's kinda like you're favorite unknown band getting signed to a major label. Also it was softimage versus Maya, now they're kinda on the same side.

"And all I want is to go home just for a bit (hey hey hey). But these padded rooms are the shit!"
(Mental Health, Zebrahead)

Local news

Yup. Got Dead Space, Rock Band 2 and Call of Duty 4.

See yea.

Owning it

Don't ask me who it is cause I'm not telling or even giving a clue. This conversation actually happened. I just wanted to pay tribute to the most awesome response to a lousy situation haha.

"Well, I never had VD on my PP. Hope your pissed 'cause I'm really drippy - Yes I do. Pulled out my burning pecker and out came the puss. Though it hurt, but I was devoured by lust - Oh, what a fuck."
(Needle Up My Cock, G.G. Allin)

Train tracks

Was out for a drive and I saw that sign on a truck. I always think that when I see that thing haha.

Well later folks.

"I don't want to spend the rest of my days. dreaming yesterday's daydreams."
(Cheer, The Descendents)

Call me

Haha, yup yup.

Her shining moment

That's Cammie for yea haha. It's not exactly how it went down but I think it works for my purposes haha.

For the definition go here.

"It's a thief in the night to come and grab you. It can creep up inside you and consume you."
(Disturbia, Rihanna)

I think we just witnessed the birth of a republican

First in our obscure reference category(which I do often haha), the title comes from a Zit comic where the main character(Jeremy) complains about them taking taxes out of his check and his parents said above.

That is all, later.

"This is all that I'm saying."
(Your Girlfriends Hate Me, Reggie And The Full Effect)

WHAAAAAAAAAA!

I find it hilarious for many reasons. None that I wanna mention here haha, but I'm sure most of you know. I also don't think many people voted for me.

Also I came in second for trivia thanks to my friend Nicole and some cool folks we met. I WILL BE NUMBER 1!! Haha, not really.

Matters of honor

Yes it's true, Tim "The Fountain of Useless Knowledge" Aichele was beaten in trivia. But it's not true, I am going for good times with friends. It's the one time a month I send a message out to friends to see if they wanna hang out and possibly do trivia. And good times are had. Cause I never pick people based on trivia ability haha.

If you read this and want in, you'll have to wait till next month. Remember it's the first Tuesday of the month that they have trivia. So hit me up if you want in on the fun.

Later folks.

"And maybe you'll come and see us when we get real big. Maybe you'll see us if we ever get another gig. Cause there's so many fish in the sea. And they all look like me. I'm just a little tiny fish. That's all I'll ever be."
(I'm Cool, Reel Big Fish)

When you really mean the RIGHT guy

Ladies I speak for all good guys when I say that haha. I guess I look at it as if you're saying I'm not a good guy. But I believe what you really mean to say, you can't find the right guy. That makes more sense to me at least cause the world is full of good guys, but very very few right(for you) guys.

Some food for thought brought to you by the friendly staff off Stars on the Ceiling.

"You've been searching for that someone. and it's me out on the prowl. As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself."
(When I come around, Green Day)

I am just a girl

Haha, love the title.

"Your rule of thumb. Make me worry some."
(Just A Girl, No Doubt)

Tah-dah

Sometimes I just like simple.

"Kissing me so slowly, shouldn't be this lucky, like we're in a movie. Smiling at me in the moonlight, wish this could be everynight. And everynight and everynight again. Don't tell me what you're doing to me. I dont want to look sleazy, but you make it seem so easy."
(Take Me Home, Please, Reggie And The Full Effect)

Were okay ideas come from

Think about it. They say how will you take care of your family if you're gone. They just have to insert a thinly veiled threat and you got a horror movie haha.

This isn't my house

Indeed.

"And I think this house is not my home. I think that I'd rather be alone tonight. I'm trying, trying to fake it."
(House Is Not My Home, Zebrahead)

I am many things, an eloquent speaker is not one of them

I have good timing and sometimes clever things to say, getting them from my brain to my mouth seems to be a problem most of the time. I notice it a lot at work. I tend to things up while speaking.

Eh, so it is.

"Though sometimes I stammer and mix up my grammar. You get what my meanings are."
(These Apples, Barenaked Ladies)

All wet

Yup yup, if you can't tell it's the song from those Discovery channel commercials.

"Pirate skulls and bones. Sticks and stones and weed and bombs. Running when we hit 'em. Lethal poison through their system."
(Paper Planes, M.I.A.)

And it wasn't just in her head

Yup one of my many long lost friends. She just happened to be in my store while we were having a special event. I don't think she actually said that, but she did hide from him haha.

Sorry so vague but I don't want to be fired for mocking my job haha.

By doing handstands

I got em a few days ago but it's the first time wearing em.

"Driving out into another state, I can see the road behind me. Falling back into the same mistake, so hard to avoid. Never will the smallest voice again be silent, yours to destroy."
(Yours To Destroy, No Use For A Name)

The fall

Though the fall season has been starting already I only mention it because NCIS starts tonight. The shame is that House is on as well. What's a guy to do? I decided to go with NCIS haha.

Later folks.

"So why don't you sing to me on this long drive home? Let the sound of your voice sway sweet and slow. As we go down, down, down. From our youth to the ground."
(Miles Davis And The Cool, The Gaslight Anthem)

Oh yea Summer Glau

For those of you who don't know. River was Summer Glau's character in Firefly and she now plays Cameron the terminator on the show listed above.

Well that all later.

"Well, I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem. But I'd sure like to find out. So why don't you climb down off that movie screen."
(Mrs. Potter's Lullaby, Counting Crows)

Get back on

At first I was not to thrilled, but the next day I was ruling ass haha. Wanna try again on the harder level and choose the dark side haha.

What annoys me at work: The list

Yup, later folks.

We don't take requests

That's right folks. Heading back to open mic and Krunch. Along with my band Twenty One Up, probably gonna play with others too. Don't have an exact time but we'll be going on sometime around 10:30. Be there.

By the way I really like how this came out. It says so much without using words haha.

"And maybe someday I'll believe (Maybe someday I'll Believe). That we are all a part of some bigger plan. Tonight I just don't give a damn (So shut your mouth its time to dance). If the world is ending. I'm throwing the party."
(Guilty Pleasure, Cobra Starship)

Cinematic Classic

A funny tidbit. I was actually done watching it when I finished the comic haha.

That phrase made me the man I am today

Yup yup.

"Sail away where no ball and chain. Can keep us from the roarin' waves. Together undivided but forever we'll be free. So sail away aboard our rig."
(Seven Deadly Sins, Flogging Molly)

Return THIS!!!

I believe in what I said above, and I couldn't find a punch line haha. Seriously though, people have refused to buy something because they can't return it(as well as other equally ridiculous reasons). I'm not saying ban accountability on shoddy products. Just cutting out the middle man and go right to the person who made it. Also it simplifies the return policy by having none haha. I think it just used to make people feel better about buying something, cause it can fall apart in the first week but at least I can return it.

P.S. I can honestly say I'd never thought I'd be bitching about return policies haha.

"You're an addict to the audio. A chronic record lover. Who feeds off the stereo."
(Detox, Millencolin)

Dual Simpsons references, BONUS POINTS!

At least according to my pocket dictionary. It actually had like 12 different definitions. The one in the comic was the first.

Two chances for bonus points. First name the two references I'm talking about. Second what is the definition really for(I'm sure you all will get that one)?

I close with a happy belated birthday to Cammie.

"Living like life's going out of style."
(Grenade Jumper, Fall Out Boy)

Cartoony Tim speaks on my behalf pt.2

No it's not deja vu. It's brand new. A fellow cartoonist Nate Fakes(who does The Frustrated Cartoonist) left me a comment which I couldn't pass up to put in the comic. Thanks go out to him.

Cartoony Tim speaks on my behalf

The saga continues. I did pay em, but they want more MORE!!! Damn them for expecting me to pay them for money they gave me.

"You say that money, isn't everything. But I'd like to see you live without it. You think you can keep on going living like a king. Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it."
(Tomorrow, Silverchair)

Linoleum and wet shoes

Yup yup.

Sallie Mae strikes again

Damn.

"You're making me fall down. I'm fallin' down again. I wish you could fall down. Can you catch me darling?"
(Fallin' Down, Goo Goo Dolls)

Gah?

Yup that's right. I'm leaving the domicile to chill with my homies over some beers and hopefully trivia. Also hopefully there'll be enough room haha.

Later.

"Mary belongs to the words of a song. I try to be strong for her, try not to be wrong for her."
(Gifts And Curses, Yellowcard)

Labor-free day

Yup, got lucky and got the day off. So some tv, a little Half Life 2, see how the day goes. Later.

She called me lame haha

Yup yup.

"We ran to the mountains. We shouted on high. We pled to the gods and an answer replied. What was once is now lost yet could never die."
(Look Away, Nick DeMayo)

Lucky for me 3 outta the 5 demos are broke. Haha. Later.

"Life is what happens while we're making plans."
(Long Nights, Piebald)

In the back

Yea, I changed the beginning, because I had to fit it in 3 panels. Also I'm not 100% on the wording I used but it's very very close.

"And do you ever lay awake at night? And do you ever tell yourself don't try? Don't try to let yourself down."
(Everything's Magic, Angels And Airwaves)

Exercise tip

Exercise tips from me, what is this world coming too?

"I wasn't made for this scene baby. But I was made in this scene. And baby, it's just my way. I don't want to go home alone, I wanna come on home to you."
(High Life, Counting Crows)

Droolage

HAHA...Kevin Smith reference.

Wasn't Venture bros intense yesterday(Andy)?

"They offered me a million bucks. All I want's a steady fuck."
(Million, Jawbreaker)

Does that make me a whore?

Probably when I have some company I'll lighten up. Haha.

"I used to rule the world. Seas would rise when I gave the word."
(Viva la Vida, Coldplay)

Campaign ad pt.2

Will I stop here? Just wait and see.

Thanks to animator Dave again.

"If I could have one wish tonight. I'd wish upon a satellite. To bring me back to you. We spend our whole lives searching for. All the things we think we want. And never really knowing what we have."
(The Night The Lights Went Out In NYC, The Ataris)

Campaign ad

Thanks to animator Dave for his help.

A rush of geekdom

I know I'm nowhere near being king of the geeks. But the rush of fixing my computer just made me feel like it a little.

That's all and goodnight.

"Well it's good to be a geek. It's good to be a creep. It's good to draw my pictures. That no one will ever see."
(Hail To The Geek, Deaf Pedestrians)

(Ninja Rap, Vanilla Ice)

Trip

Yup yup. The time has come. See you all in a week.

"California! Here we come!"
(California, Phantom Planet)

Threw new eyes

Thanks to Tiff for cool new glasses. This comic has two layers, one I had in mind and another I didn't think about till I was doing the comic. The first was when I had my new sunglasses I felt like Tom Cruise in Risky Business so I was trying to incorperate that. The second was that I got a haircut and have new different glasses. So I look a lot different then before. So I imagine people will be perplexed which I always characterize as what the fuck haha.

Okay one more day of work and I am free. Later.

"Cuz I want to see, what's on sale whats for free. Every time I go to shop I steal from enemies. Who steal from me, and from you. If only you knew, then you would steal too."
(Five Finger Discount, Chocking Victim)

One shot?

I don't know man, I hope I have more then one shot, then again hope doesn't equal reality. So I'm gonna go with what I have and do my best.

"Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down. Letting the days go by/water flowing underground. Into the blue again/after the money's gone. Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground."

Move over Mike and the Mechanics

Yup yup. Later folks.

"What's there that makes you want to be lonely? What's there to keep you sitting at home? He'd always say no no no as if he wanted you to be hungry."
(Kid Things, Counting Crows)

Haircut

It's one of the reasons I usually wait to get it cut, haha.
