rock me like flip-flops, keep me non-stop

I'm back. But this time, motherfucker, I want some motherfucking readers on this motherfucking shit. So I'm gonna up my game. I'll still continue to post comics and other scribbles when I can, but I'm also gonna be trying to write other stuff sometimes, stuff that makes your nipples lactate.

Let me just cut straight away to my latest comics. I've re-named the gay series Boys'N'Berries (inspired by the cousin of a good friend of mine, who suggested it, I believe, as a name for a new boy band). I'm writing the script for the pilot and as much of the first season as I can come up with, and I'll be applying for a grant from Prism Comics to supply me with a budget for actual production for the pilot episode, which I hope to debut at next year's Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. I also applied to a comedy contest sponsored by local classic rock station WMGK. The prize for that is a $1,000 paid gig at Philly's Helium Comedy Club, so in the event that I get an on-air audition, I'll be rallying the troops. The troops is you, by the way. In any case, I'll also be soliciting private donations and all kinds of other shit, because in the end I hope to raise about six grand, so's I can pay illustrators and animators and sound people and whoever else I have to throw money at to get this shit off the ground. I'm saying, I ain't letting this dream die yet. I don't have the internet savvy or the technical know-how to make the comic strip itself this smash-sensation (obvy), but I've always seen it in terms of movement and voices and sound effects and music. I've always seen it as an animated series.

Didn't I say like three hours ago that I was going to get right to posting new comics? Ha. I lie to you. Okay but here's one.



You just nibble on that for a little bit. I'll be back.

some new ish for 08

So much for posting comix!

So, it's not so much that I didn't get around to posting more badly drawn boys fer y'all, but my last weeks in Philly were unfortunately marred by my former roommate's apparent inability to pay the internet bill on time. Ç'est la vie, non? We all have our little crosses to bear.

Anywhat, I am now in Chile, where I will be spending the next couple of months getting reacquianted with my extended family and hopefully sunning my ´lil tush as the waves of the Pacific lap at my toesy-woesies. But fear not, all three of you, for I have set up a travel blog for which to recount my assorted tales of er, stuff. And you can read that blog at http://chiledelphiano.blogspot.com

So um, go there, ´cause I shore as shit ain't gonna be posting up in this bitch for a minute. But the Fresh Fruit dream lives on! I am working my way through the episode breakdowns to show some animators when I get back to town. IT WILL HAPPEN, I TELL YOU, IF I HAVE TO WILL IT INTO BEING BY THE SHEER FORCE OF MY ... WILL. In the meantime, sirs and madams, content yourself with The Adventuras of El Chiledelphiano.

That is all.

oh mah gah ahm such a slacker

It's been so long since I've posted! It's criminal!

So, since May I've graduated college and joined a soccer team . That's about it.

For serious though I've been working on the pilot episode of Fresh Fruit as well as tinkering with my junior screenplay, which I'm trying to shop to a local production company. I'm also gearing up for my Great American Tour, which starts August 30th. New Orleans, San Antonio, Portland OR, Ellenville NY, and then Buenos Aires and Chile. My photoshop trial also ended and I'm too broke to buy that shit, so I haven't been polishing up the old strips or working on new ones.

But. I've decided to be a little less lazy in these next couple weeks and see what I can get up on here. Also, I'm thinking about changing the name of the strip. A friend of mine made a joke (on a MySpace page, natch) about starting up a band called Boyz-n-Berries... and I'm seriously considering asking her permission to use it for this cartoon. Anyway, I probably drew the strip below back in 2001, so I realize the body piercing angle's been covered and the novelty has worn off some. Still, I like this one.

more new shit

From my notes on Rock Paper Scissors:

"... having accidentally administered his own sexual re-assignment surgery, Buddy's body is unable to withstand the trauma of his very first period."

So. Anybody got five grand or so they wanna throw at me so I can finish this shit? C'mon, y'all, the villain's a talking penis. A TALKING PENIS, I say. Gimme some money.

I know I said I wasn't going to post new comics just yet, but I figgered, what the hell, why not drop a couple fresh ones on ya?
HA!
I am the master of the double entendre!
