New Webcomic and Twitter

After a brief hiatus, the weekly webcomic is back! In fact, this week we have 2 pages of goodness! The comic is pretty much word for word, weird image for weird image a dream I had Tuesday night. Spawned no doubt by the election and too much Fallout 3, it got stuck in my head all week until I could sketch it out. Enjoy the oddness!

In other news, you can now pointlessly stalk me on Twitter. You can either click the twitter icon underneath ‘Networks’ or add ‘lonelytylenol’. You aren’t missing anything if you don’t though.

…For What? Zee Germans?

New webcomic up today. Nazis. Yes, Nazis. Zee Germans. Jerry. Everybody’s favorite bad guys. Who doesn’t like a good Nazi Bashing movie? Indiana Jones? The Rocketeer? Well, maybe just Indiana Jones. Hell, in the movie version of “The Sum of All Fears” they even changed the terrorists to be some crazy Neo-Nazi group because they thought having Muslim bad guys after 9/11 would be a touchy subject. So whether they’re speeding around in little motorcycles, conducting strange occult experiments, or blowing up Baltimore, you have to admit:

We’re waiting for the Nazi’s to show up. Then the action can start.

Did you know?

Did you know that there are two comics this week? Now you do. The above image, which I drew earlier and just had to include will take you to the new and wholly different weekly comic. Enjoy!

New Webcomic: Oz

Maki — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 22:09:07 +0000

There’s no warning. No way to prepare. He steps in like a ghost and leaves only when the walls are dripping with poo and your Grandmother has fainted in sheer embarassment. He’s Ozgur, a Turkish expatriate and Matt’s only friend. In the original Asphalt cartoon, Oz spent the episode egging Matt to jump off his roof and making fun of a kid with down syndrome. He’s just that kind of guy. Don’t get him wrong though, he isn’t racist. He hates all of you people.

This week’s webcomic is up in its appropriate section. Today we muse over the side-effects of parental misdirection. I know everybody has one of these stories, and I bet there’s a This American Life dedicated to them somewhere so I’m not sure how much the musings of a 9-year-old Matt are going to become a regular feature, but he makes for such a goofy looking kid.

Speaking of kids, coming soon is the first installment of ‘The Bard’. I know it seems like everything here is named that, but trust me, they all tie together. Anyway, the upcoming installments will be several pages long and involve stories told by world-reknown poet, minstrel, and epic storyteller Antonius Zahn to a little boy named Fell during their wanderings together. Here’s a sneak peek at the cover.

Cats Are People, Too.

This week’s comic introduces Julie, Matt’s naive yet lovable Chinese girlfriend, and sheds more light upon the enigmatic Ferdinand, Julie’s one-eyed cat.

The characters in this comic come from an animated short made during my junior year at Alfred University. The story follows Matt, our hero, his misanthropic Turkish expatriate friend, Ozgur, and Matt’s girlfriend Julie through his mundane yet charmed life. Images from the 20 minute short (which was originally supposed to be a 3 episode arc) can be found in the digital gallery. As I properly introduce the other characters, I’ll have more information available. Until then, sit tight and enjoy the show!
