Thanks Tyler

I have Tyler Vickery to thank for today's comic. He came up to me at work the other day and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you a good story" and then related this story about wishes coming true. I started this bitch this morning and managed to get it done and update ontime. Not that anyone gives a shit. And I managed to fit in The Darjeeling Limited which was pretty stellar - although the short film at the beginning with a bare-ass Natalie Portman was the best part. That song - that hotel room - the contrasting warm and cool colors - it kicked ass. My favorite Wes Anderson film, however, remains Rushmore. The kid at the video-store said this was now his favorite but he stikes me as being a huge phoney.

probably the crack

Updated early ---
I think I'm going to do some really short shorties next and then try to finish out Bob & Bob.

I first checked out Patti Smith's Horses when in love with the song Rock 'n Roll Nigger from the Natural Born Killers soundtrack (yeah)- which was far and away my favorite song on the album (and I don't care what anyone says that was a kick-ass movie with a kick-ass soundtrack). I wanted an entire album with that song's raw ferocity and was disappointed by what I thought was a comparatively tame offering. I didn't get how everyone described it as having all this "raw energy". Recently Juno reminded me of Smith and put her in a context which included Iggy and the Stooges - who I was ignorant of back in the day (a forgivable oversight) - and I decided to give Horses another listen. Thank you Juno. Smith kicks 100% of my ass and I can't imagine how I missed it the first time. Totally raw and naked and it gets into you and overwhelms. Fantastic.

And the Oscar for "Best Smoking" goes to...

...Atonement. Longing-smoking, mansion-smoking, smoking-to-opera, hand-rolled smoking, war-time smoking - Atonement has it all. The best smoking I've seen all year - and a decent movie to boot.

I'm gonna count that

It's still Friday

late update

Apparently there's a meat-cutting emergency and they need me at work early - so I'll have to update post-work. I was close too - it's all inked.

Looks like it's going to be a morning update --

Will E. Maykitt?

I'm supposed to update with the last page of this chapter of Vivian Blank tonight by midnight. As of right now the page is half-way inked. I still have to finish inking, scan it in, add the blacks in photoshop and post it -- and I don't think my wife is cool with me spending the rest of the night away from her as we haven't seen eachother all day. It's doubtful - but it'd be cool if I could do it.

Get back in the firey water!

Yay, a blog!
A place to talk about shit I think is cool.
Like the webcomic octopus pie
or this video
Check out the kid at the end -- he's like "Yeah, I made this shit, bitch"
