Giant werebat out of fucking nowhere

I should write more stuff here…
Like my thoughts and stuff. But I don’t like to type too much.
Maybe I don’t care. Actually I kinda do. But you know…
—-
I’m hideously dissapointed, my drawings, no matter how fast and sloppy I make them look nothing like those that took hours of patient work. What gives?
That’s the problem with having high standards, people expect them of you. The people who do sprite or stick figure comics never have this problem. I still think you should post stick figure sketches and let people donate if they want a polished version.
Oh yeah, I took the liberty of changing the post title to something a little more succint - that blogrush thing on the right hand side publishes our titles on thousands of other blogs that use the system so the post title has to be snappy and short, see?
Hey, more real life guro
Seen above is an X-ray of Shafique el-Fahkri, a 20-year-old student who was attacked outside of a Melbourne, Australia nightclub in January. During a brawl, another 20-year-old, Liam Peart, threw a metal-framed chair at Fahkri. The chair leg went through Fahkri’s eye socket and down into his neck. Amazingly, Fahkri not only survived but did not lose his eye, which was pushed to the side by the chair leg. From The Age
Fahkri was later quoted as saying “no worries” as he forgave his assailant.

Werebat? I approve.
September 28th, 2007 at 5:49 am
Oh, is that what that is? I thought it was some kind of vampiric werewolf.
And I am swine, so don’t throw me pearls. I can’t see how these new pages are of lower quality compared to the old Murder at the Chateu pages. I can only see how they don’t look as good as Kill Harry. But that’s a completely different comic.
Perhaps someone could pull up an old page and put it next to a new one and show me with the classic red marker what I should look for in order to become suitably dissatisfied?

Just open the images in a pair of tabs and compare them?

Ha! Love it. The second panel is so dramatic.

Are you are saying that the stuff that you spend a lot of time on doesn’t look as good as the stuff you just toss off?

If The Simpsons has taught me anything, its that bullfrogs (or as they call them, Chazwazers) are their greatest weakness (to their ecosystem, anyhow).
Man, Chen coming to save the day like a werebat out of hell. Awesome. I actually think this comic is closer to your previous work than yesterdays was… The black lining seemed too heavy and stark. Did you disable pressure opacity on yesterdays?
Bought my expensive ass textbooks through your amazon link last night, Nestor. Your welcome.

Well, if he manages to not bleed out, and he can’t just magic himself a new hand, then I wonder if he’ll go with a hook or a fake hand.

Ooh, he’s got a hand off, he does.
Hopefully this won’t lead to some kind of Liquid Snake/Revolver Ocelot style replacement later on…

September 29th, 2007 at 10:15 am
Ahh, decompression. Could’ve done with some backgrounds, though, it would have helped make the shots a little more… vertiginous?
And if Chen can do THAT, why would ANYBODY get all up in his shit?
I mean, apart from Cavin.
Fucking furries.
September 29th, 2007 at 11:48 am
Did he just say “Skee!” or was that just a sound effect? Either way, the only skee I’m familiar with is skee ball, and this doesn’t look much like that on a superficial level ….
Later,

We can always replace that arm with a chainsaw.
Of course, i wouldn’t be opposed to a metal fist with a hidden chain in the fake wrist/forearm, so as to make a retractable projectile punch and/or fist-flail.
September 29th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
Wow, that book is the third edition of the third edition! It must be GREAT.
September 30th, 2007 at 4:59 am
NeoK> Perhaps he could launch his fist like a rocket ala’ Tranzor/Mazinger Z or Dangaioh? Personally I would prefer Dangaioh simply to see the activation command in comic print form: “BU-SUTO NAKERUUUUUUUuUuu!11!!”
September 30th, 2007 at 5:37 am
He already did that one
October 1st, 2007 at 1:12 am
Nestor> Eh. I guess it would be a cardinal sin to recycle a gag like that. The Liquid Snake/Revolver Ocelot thing is still a viable idea though…
October 1st, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Nah, i’m hooked on the idea of a fist-flail. I blame one of those Chrono Trigger images, with Robo swinging his own chained-fist around over his head. I could probably find it somewhere, if i wern’t so lazy.

I expected a wolf. Whatever. I demand that the little kid also lose her hand as prophesied.
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:01 am
Fucking vore fetishists coming out of the woodwork. Girly was right
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:47 pm
I really think Lesnick shines when he makes absurd jokes, as opposed to all the lesbian relationship comics he’s tried over the years.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:22 pm
Be honest, you just like it when he panders to the “we’re from the internet, ma’am” crowd because you’re one of them.
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:45 pm
Perhaps, but isn’t the basis of one’s opinions that they’re objective?
On the other hand, i’ve seen a few of his back works. His first work, that i know anyhting about, was a comic called Anarchy (or some such, can’t be sure anymore), which was mostly a string of absurd and somewhat running jokes, as well as a number of in-jokes; while it might not be called a success, per ce, i still found it enjoyable. After that and before Wendy, he tried his hand at a Sailor Moon parody, complete with lesbian relationship attempts; he stopped short for whatever reason of self-disgust, then recycled the characters into Wendy. While going into Wendy, he realized he wasn’t that much of a writer once he got stuck on Namek; suffice to say, he broke down and quit there. Then he worked on his Cute Wendy comic, which was before that mostly filler for the main Wendy comic, and no only turned it into a series fo absurd and amusing jokes, but actually made a proper ending out of the whole damn thing. Now he’s doing ANOTHER lesbian relationship comic, and damn near broke down after the third part/eleventh chapter. Now he’s doing unnecessarily large, full-color comics at a grindingly slow pace while doing god knows what else to try and make a half-way living out of his mostly-lesbian comic career. Meanwhile, Clevinger rips sprites, and he’s got a book AND writing credits for an awesome comic on his resume. BUT I DIGRESS.
While it’s true i like what i like, the fact is the last two times Lesnick tried some kind of a semi-serious lesbian relationship comic, he punked out, and he’s coming somewhat close now with Girly. I only hope he doesn’t try for a hat trick on this, as i will then be forced to brand him as an unredeemable pussmaster and demand in my arrogant reader manner that he just go back to making stupid joke comics and porn.

October 4th, 2007 at 4:20 am
ha ha beat me to it.
Remember never to encourage him by paying attention to him.
October 4th, 2007 at 7:31 am
I agree. Clevinger is awesome. Not that I ever got his book, or will get the Atomic Robo comics, but awesome all the same.
And I kind of liked Wendy, but when Girly came around I couldn’t make sense of it at first, and it also seemed unfunny, so I didn’t keep reading. A lot of other people seem to like it though. But they’re not certifiable like I am.
October 4th, 2007 at 7:55 am
Wendy sucked.
Girly sucked, too.
October 4th, 2007 at 9:38 am
Girly is genius, liked his art better back when he didn’t have the 10k art pad, made his art less sharp. only poeple who don’t like lesbians will say Girly sucks. ergo you’d be either blind and browsing the net via voice recognition or an angry gay man.
October 4th, 2007 at 9:49 am
ps. this KrazyKimchi bitches.
October 4th, 2007 at 8:29 pm
Lesbians killed my dog! Girly sucks!!!
October 5th, 2007 at 12:19 pm
Dammit. He does this on purpose. Waits until I stop checking the site, maybe with as long as a month or two of no looking. Then he slips in and leaves a few new posts, but then stops long enough that I’m once again in doubt as to whether or not I should be checking regularly.
Hyung is like my Nemesis, or something.
Oh, and Girly rocks.
October 5th, 2007 at 1:45 pm
Hop on the RSS feed, it even has an author field so you can see when it’s him and when it’s me doing a repost. No need to play update tag in this day and age.
In fact RSS feeds are Lesnick’s stated reason for going for bigger colour updates, he figures regularity doesn’t matter so much anymore. Hyung was a trail breaker after all!
October 6th, 2007 at 3:06 pm
Someone once said its a fine line between trail blazers and lazy ass bastard, or something like that. Me? I still think hes working covert for the Vietcong, sabotaging the foundation of capitalist society by mixing up orders at a local kinkos…
October 6th, 2007 at 3:06 pm
Meanwhile, no one notices that i should of said subjective, as opposed to objective. I now feel justified in my mistakes.
Also, it’s my nerd’s habit to rant; it only comes up when i feel like i have something to say in great detail.
As for Girly, I’ll repeat myself: it’s not too bad, but it still isn’t mild absurdity and mostly humor, as i’d like. Going too deeply into shitty plotlines and contrived romantic relationships is somewhat annoying and rather boring.

I think Shakespeare might be good if there was a good attempt to modernize it.
And when i say good, i DON’T mean that Romeo and Juliet remake. It’s bad enough they did one of the most emo plays he banged out, but it’s worse that they put it in modern times while having everyone bust out with the original script. A black Mercutio with a handgun throwing out thees and thous is just retarded.
October 10th, 2007 at 3:37 pm
They got that from actual theatrical productions, it’s a kind of trend lately to do plays with modern props and clothing, knights wearing leather jackets and riding in on a Harley, that sort of thing.
Don’t think much of it myself, tbh.
October 11th, 2007 at 12:43 am
I quite liked when a local group did The Merry Wives of Windsor set in the ’20s with poodle skirts and all that.
October 11th, 2007 at 9:04 am
I loathe Shakespearean wordage. The stories might not be too bad, but whenever I hear the original language I’m thinking that there’s a time and a place, and it was back then, at that theater of his. Certainly not in this day and age. I say we put them all to death. You know the ones I’m talking about! Or don’t you? I don’t know what those Shakespearophiles look like. Do they have something in common? Something we could go by? I’d be willing to accept mistakes. Can’t break an omelette without digging a grave for another.

KOFF BKM KRNCH SKEE
okay KOFF and KRNCH look weird but I can see what the sounds are like.
but BKM? SKEE?
October 12th, 2007 at 12:03 am
buh’kum works for me as the sound of a gunshot
but yeah Skee doesn’t quit work
Here’s an idea! How about you find a large animal to rip your hand off? Please be sure to record the sounds and send the tape to HSK.
October 15th, 2007 at 6:37 am
My cat likes to claw and bite my hand. Never actually succeeds in ripping it off, though. Hey, I’m just trying to get a rise out of HSK. Don’t go ruining it.
October 16th, 2007 at 4:17 am
I liked Wendy. The characters were really likeable.
But yeah, I stopped once Girly started.

October 26th, 2007 at 10:00 am
Now you’ve jinxed it. Don’t you know that Hyung uses dice to determine the number of days that have to pass without comments? Then and only then will the comic be updated!
October 27th, 2007 at 1:07 pm
Hey, DFG… If I say things like “Brooke Burgess”, “Zephie” and “Broken Saints”, does it ring any bells for you? I’m going out on a limb here, but the result could be interesting….
October 27th, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Not a clue, except for ‘broken saints’ and even then i don’t know why and ‘zephie’ reminds me of a woody allen film named Zelig.
So… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_Saints
hm… never heard of it.
October 28th, 2007 at 1:25 am
Years ago I downloaded the first chapter of Broken Saints, but I never went beyond that. Wasn’t awful or anything, but it also didn’t seem quite awesome enough for me to put up with someone else pacing my comic ‘reading’.
October 28th, 2007 at 3:07 am
I’ve never been able to sit through the intro on the site, but I was somewhat impressed to see the broken saints DVD sitting in a store, getting published internationally isn’t a mean feat for a webcomic/animation/whatever it is.
Dunno if anyone bought them, but they were there. Speaking of which, here’s an amazon link for broken saints :P
Sooo… guess I should start with the reposts tomorrow, right?
October 28th, 2007 at 4:02 am
DFG: Ok, thanks… It was a shot in the dark…. We had a poster on the Broken Saints forums called “DFG”, and was wondering if you may be the same person. You’re sense of humour and flippant/irreverent attitude (no offense) was very much alike to the other poster I wasa thinking of.

The pix of Shafique el-Fahkri are no ordinary x-rays: they must be CG renderings of models derived from CT scans.
