OK, so this is a gross exaggeration. I didn’t get that fat, and I don’t usually drink. All the same, if you’re ever out at a bar and there’s a person proclaiming their veteran status, they’re usually a fat drunk to boot. I pray I never become one of those guys.
I’ve been in the reserves now for six years and two months. Today is my last drill before I enter into the IRR. I had a good time while I was in the Army, but I’ve decided not to stay due to certain health concerns.
This is more of a character development piece. Alexis is running a major branch of a large multinational. It seemed odd to me that I was thoughtlessly dressing her in essentially jeans and a T-shirt. Of course, Clif (being the gay hipster that he is) will wear primarily tight fitting black pants from now on. It always grosses me out when I see guys do that for some reason.
This is one of those panels where I was just clowning around and threw the three of them into a scene without any script. Then I took it to work and showed it to a friend to see if she could come up with a humorous dialog. She immediately started to laugh at the sight of Tyler in “tighty whities”. After an hour she brought the paper back and gave me this little gem. Thanks, Patty.
If I got paid to surf reddit, I’d probably be making about +$75k per year. It’s probably the real reason I don’t post new stuff. Fortunately diminishing returns is starting to overcome the addiction.
I know this skit isn’t very funny. Right now I’m just trying to get the feel of things working with the characters’ new look. If you have any ideas for a funny panel you’d like to see me do, send me an email at flush2x@gmail.com.
I know it’s been a long time since my last update, and there’s really no exuse. I had been working on updating the look of the characters with things like hands, eyes with sclera and irises, arms and legs that bulged and tapered, improved depiction of the female bustline, and a few other things. Making the vision come to life was challenging enough for me, but getting things set up so I could rapidly produce new comics on a schedule was to take a bit more effort than I wanted to expend. I’m still working out some of the kinks.
Well, Birdie’s back! The biggest problem with female characters is getting the breasts just right. Too big, and people just fixate on the breasts, missing any joke there might have been. On the other hand, females without them don’t look like females. Looking back I saw a lot of really bad boobs on my female characters, and this leads me to believe that I just don’t spend enough time studying breasts. Which leads me to my new task for the rest of the year. I plan on studying every female’s breasts that I encounter. It’s going to be rough, but I think it will be worth it.
You know, before I joined the Army, getting every day things done always seemed so much easier. Of course trying to cope with the loss of my thyroid hasn’t made this handicap any easier.
With my medical bills (and that include vet as well) smacking me left and right, I really need to save every last nickle I can lay hands on… Then again, I’ll just extend my credit a little further so I can continue living my lavish lifestyle.
