The Return of Stickman #1169

I don't know why Willy Nelson getting his haircut is bother me so much. I didn't freak like this when he decided to get his ear pierced. Maybe it's because I've always seen him as a crazy cowboy country singer version of Pippi Longstocking.

Space Invaders! Reboot

This is a drawing I did at last week's C.L.A.W. meeting. The theme of the meeting was 'reboot,' basically taking an old property and giving it new life. I thought it would be fun to grab an old school video game and make it into a movie.

The Comic Critic Reviews Little Big Man - 1970

I wrote two different scripts for this strip and had a hard time deciding which one to use. I had a hard time writing a review to begin with. When asked to come up with my top-ten films of all time, Little Big Man is one of my first choices. How much do I love this film? Well, if I learned it was playing again on the big screen, I’d drop whatever I was doing, twitter all my friends that I was heading out the door and they should all meet me at the theater. So, if you haven’t seen this film, move it to the top of your must-see list. It is my obvious love for this movie that directed me to write this comic script to give as little away about the story as possible—while showing how deeply it affected young little me.

I loved this person described her drunken actions in court as "Mind Boggling." For timing purposes of this strip I left out how she drove a car to the fast foot place. Besides, saying that just makes her look bad. I wonder how many hits I'm going to get using key words to describe this strip.

Yes, a robber was stopped by a nun and after being confronted by her he handed over the wallet. But I left out the part where the nun went after him with his car (that would have been fun to draw), and I left the part where she was a school principal (which left an opening for more gags). In the end I decided to prune the story down to cliché overly-strong stereotypes and let you, the very smart reader, determine that there was a lot more going on here.

While I haven't had a rude waiter in a long time, the ones I did have stick out in my mind. I tend to get the waitress you is in middle of a mental meltdown. One example would be the waitress who sat my wife and I down without leaving any menus. Five minutes later she came back to take our order then went away to fetch the menus. Ten minutes later she comes back with two beers and sits them down in front of us without a word and leaves before we can get a word out. This is very odd as my wife and I don't drink. Fifteen minutes later she comes back to assure us the order is on its way. We reminded her that we never got our menus, didn't place an order, and what's up with the beers? I can't remember if we left at that point or if we tried to stick it out and she never surfaced again. At some point the evening got so bad you just start to block things as a form of self preservation.

I drew this strip last month. It's a little dated now. But the benefit of posting it now means two things:

1. I won't forget to post it next year if I post it today.

2. I get a day ahead on my strip buffer.

It's a win win for everybody. And by everybody I mean me.
