notes on claustrophobia
- The more I author, the more I am convinced the author is dead, so I am pleased to allow any and all unendorsed interpretations of my work to flourish, even if it involves gross things like butts and I never get to leave my house again.
- The superhero comic drawn by one of the cartoonist cave gnomes is called The Spartan. Inspired by the movie 300, Frank Dean Mahoney, an unassuming pizza delivery guy, spends a year in the woods with wolves, then comes back to the big city, punching sketchy-looking characters until, the hope is, a great big crowd of them goes after him at once so he can make a last stand on the rooftop. He also really wants to use his superhero helmet which has a blade where the crest would be, but it never really seems to work out in fights.
- The Wacky Roommates are Lucky Guy, Angry Girl, and Thalidomide Bob, and deep down I fear they are a better comics concept than Nobody Scores! Of course Lucky Guy and Angry Girl would hook up about one and a half years into the strip and ruin it forever and ever.
- Robot and Hobo is a poorly-conceived office comedy, but the flies always muck up Robot’s circuits whenever the laff meter grows dim.
- Jason Fox flies around in a dirigible, in beautifully rendered adventures that seem to have no point whatsoever. This is also as close I get (and I’ve kept it ambiguous) in this comic to making fun of “furries,” a topic which is beneath me, much like Wikipedia, which cartoon making people just keep going to in search of the comedy gold and frankly there’s just not that much there, like, how often do you make jokes about encyclopedias? That said, I hypocritically present to you the new Nobody Scores! FAQ. It will tell you everything you need to know.
- I have no idea what the hell that space comic is. Figure there’s a 75% chance that lasers go ZAPPP in it. Any of you have any ideas, I’d love to hear it.
Other notes:
Because I care about my readers, each one of whom is a rare gem secured warmly in my enormous gizzard, I cannot in good conscience casually link back to people who link to me without at least reading their comics first. Since I have no time to read this almost never happens. But the other night I got sucked into reading the entertainingly goofy and vaguely Spongeboblike plus unfeasible adventures of Beaver and Steve and was happy enough that I can put a link to them on the sidebar and still sleep at night. Here is a good one to start with. To give you an idea of the tonal differences I probably would have had Steve die of hypertension three days later, were this a Nobody Scores!. The space celery and salt tanks would of course remain unchanged.
I have no choice, I must share the latest thing that I cannot stop listening to. You will not be able to stop listening to it, either. But you will be happy, as I am today, and each time you listen to it again, you will rediscover joy.
your search – "buffy drag" – has returned no results. it is 2:30 a.m. and i have to write this shit down before i forget it
