The comics always show up here first. If you want to follow them and see them ad-free, this is the page to bookmark. It's not a smart page (no RSS, comments or other such fun,) but it has all of them, and with commentary you can't get anywhere else.
If the headline is a hyperlink, that means it's already run on GlossyNews.com, and you can follow the link to post comments about it, even on Facebook. Feedback is always appreciated, even the negative kind.
124 - Kids Singing Endless Road Song About to Be Amber Alerts
This is another one from the previous vein. I shot the photos myself, tried to shop in the backgrounds, with a bit less success. You can even tell that's Patrick in the driver's seat instead of me. He didn't want to be featured as a kid, so I made him be my stand-in and part-time photographer... He did pretty good on the photos. Missed a couple, but did a solid job. Good kid.
For the record, this also never happened on any of our many trips. The kids drove us crazy as hell, of course, but not with this particular ditty. At times we'd have prefered it, but they hadn't yet learned it, and we were grateful.
123 - ProTip: Cool Overly Hot Coffee by Holding it out the Window
I spent way, way too many hours on this one. I was going to manually artist it up, but after the hours I spent, I figured filters were good enough.
It's a true story, though time-shifted by 15-years. This literally happened to me. Terrible and funny as hell. Scolded the shit out of my then-girlfriend. Oh I miss you Racheal. I've always thought you didn't deserve to be burned. Ah, Portland... doesn't matter which one.
122 - Immigrants: Let's Talk About the Actual Jobs in Play
This one always bothered me. Why do wealthy republicans care who's picking the corn, cotton or beets? They're literally stealing jobs from absolutely no one, so what's it about? Is it about racism?
It's probably about racism, because the states that have enacted the strictest regulations have turned away migrant laborers by the scads, as well as a few German CEOs by the same nasty swipe... Come on guys, get the fuck real.
121 - Guys, Though Massive, Refuse Verification
Art is still recycled, but in a normal sort of rotation, as you'll find on Glossy News, you'll see these things aren't too repetitive.
Tried to vary the colors enough to make it work. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. Should have set it up better, but the art is still pretty good.
120 - Long-Term Unemployed Go Back for Degree, Pointless
I should say that the image this batch is based on was a paid Stock Image, though I had to modify it quite a bit, and then cartoonize it that much more to make it work.
I brought them closer together, redrew the outlines and highlights, changed colors quite a bit and added all new faces. I paid for the underlying picture, but even if I hadn't you'd be hard pressed to know it.
119 - If Your Girl Feels Down, Make Her Feel Important
The art is recyled from yesterday, but the theme is recycled from time untold in the history of man.
I did take the extra time to make sure he was staring down on her (presumably awesome?) rack, which is par for the guy course... It's just what we do.
118 - Men Admit the Number One Thing They Love in Women
Come on guys, we've all been there. Don't be shy. Maybe you had the wisdom or exhaustion to keep your mouth shut, but if they could really read your mind (as those damn sirens swear they can,) you'd be doomed.
I'm not happy with the eyes (even though you'll see more of them,) but I'm happy with the rest of it. Plenty of effort went into it. Art is at least a 6/10, and I'm a critic.
117 - I Judge You By Your Ignorant Font Choice
Based in fact, wholly. Saw this sign while driving with my best friend and tech dawg J-Drizzle. We shared a laugh about it. That was over a decade ago, but I still keep seeing the same signs... um, what?
As a one-off comic, this one got an awful lot of hours for what it was. Only two frames repeat, plus a massive effort frame to start it. Too much work for such a weak joke.
116 - This is 'Merica... Speak English!
The runaway (tacitly racist) patriotism sickens me. They don't care about people, they care about whiteness. States that have driven out minorities have suffered, and well they should; to hell with them.
But whenever we start talking about our true founding fathers, we have to include all of them.
This is the first I've done in this minimalist style. I kinda like it. Got part way through and was like "wow, that looks pretty striking just like that." Might do more of it.
115 - Study: Indoor Cats Also Present Owners w/ Gifts
Yeah, just more cat stuff. Nothing really to say about it. I regret putting an orange patch by the left cat's nose, I regret not removing fur lines from the insides of the mouths.
You'll almost surely never see this pair again.
114 - Artist Refuses to Admit Art is Terrible
This is my second attempt with backgrounds other than the standard, and it was a ton of work to come out with something I still think is so-so at best.
At this point I'm getting pretty sick of the cats, but I'll do one more, even though I have more written for cats after that.
113 - Scientific Study Proves Cats Have No Sense of Humor
My first attempt at using a background other than a gradient or solid color... not great. Not bad, but not as good as it looked in my head.
Still recycled art, but for some reason, this time I forgot the damn eyebrows. Still works without them, but annoying to me.
112 - Specialty Cats Bred Exclusively to be Creepy
Just trying to channel the inner monologue of cats. Maybe it's not so sinister, but probably it is.
If you've never had a conversation with a cat (be honest) you don't know what they're thinking.
111 - Feline Study Finds Lasers Effective for Hair Removal
Laser hair removal? Yeah, for your cat, just shine the pointer right there and they'll chew the hell out of it.
And yes, to be clear, that's my best take on Grumpy Cat on the right.
110 - Cat-Rehab Clinics Sprouting Up Around the Nation
So then I took it a bit further. What are cats really like? They're not human but they can still have human characteristics.
Recycled art with just a few changes.
109 - Happy 4th of July, Especially if you're a cat
The art is pretty bad, I can admit that. You might recognize my inspiration for the guy on the right.
No more dogs for a while, I promise. ;p
Basically I just tried to channel what dogs think and feel, and sometimes they just feel like destroying a house.
At this point I realize I should create a new sub-page just for dogs, since I've got something like 15 at this point.
All these dog cartoons are using a new font, and I'm not 100% convinced by it. It's about as hard to read as the previous one, so I'm still not sure what I'm going to do.
But other than that, ya know, dogs... amirite?
Didn't vary the mouths on this one, an oversight, and didn't even fill them all in... I'll fix it on the next one.
Although I still had a bunch more dog comics, I gave up on this template after this one, and the next one is... well let's just say "better", for conversational purposes.
Though I guess I'll do one more in the same template.
