Zoom From The Moon

I am not alone in this, right? Also this marks the first time ever making a cartoon of my roommate. Depending on how he feels about it, it might not be the last.

I Heard You Missed Us. We're Back!

(Click to Enlarge)

We're baaaAAAAaaack. And hot for teacher.

It's been a long and full of things to talk about summer. I could go over all of it now, but why should I do that when you could just read my blog and find everything out there. I will add more to this later.

The Balls That Bond

(click to enlarge)

Oh man, I sucked up the art on this one. Plus, I think I could have done better with the writing. Oh well.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Heroes is freakin AWESOME!

It's Almost Like A Stinky Foot Cross-Over

(click to enlarge)


Apparently when I am 50 I look like a Harvey Peekar (American Splendor) character. Also, the art is a little fuzzy, because I inked with the wrong pen, and when I went to erase the pencil, it smdged all over the place. Stupid crappy pen. I actually think I kinda look like a fat version of my dad. That's kinda creepy.


Speaking of comics, I am going to see a little independant motion picture tonight, based on a little known comic book. You might not have heard of it, but this is actually going to be the third installment of the series. The name of this movie...Spider-Man 3! I am posting this a couple of hours early because I am going to the midnight showing; but I am sure by the time you read this I will have already seen the movie. Hopefully I will be planning a second and third trip to be seeing the movie. Of course I am sacrificing sanity at work Friday because I am going to be all alone on my floor, so I am going to be really tired, and most likely really annoyed.

Spider-Man is always worth it.

Rule to live by.

One Step Up From Handing Us Seeds

(click to enlarge)

Well the art dropped down again. The Tree Guy was originally drawn as a legit person, then I got lazy and made him a stick. A stick with a giant hand.

In oter news, 24 is certainly taking the fast train the sucktown.

Heroes is on the rise to awesomeness though.

SUPER awesomeness.

Get it?

Who Says What Makes Cold Cold?

(click to enlarge)

In my defence, it's only logical to assume that people who organize things don't know what they are talking about, ever. Also, who decides what's really cold? I mean my grandma once made me and my brother wear long-johns under our clothes...IN DISNEY WORLD! Granted it was december, but about an hour into the day, my brother and I were over-heating like crazy. I mean, I went to school upstate, and I would come home on winter break and walk the dog in a t-shirt, gym shorts and sandals...and this was BEFORE my parents moved to the South. So I think I was right in second guessing the fine people of Shorashim and the JNF...right?

Probably not.

And how about that allergy commercial with the Jockey! The dude not only has a high voice, but also is tiny and has POINTY EARS!! I am pretty sure that qualifies him as an elf. I discovered a real life elf. Eat that everyone who loves fanatsy stuff way more then I do! The latin name will be Joshuos Esawsomous.

Thursday Night TV on NBC is awesome again.
That's all I am going to say about that.

Porky Piggin'

(click to enlarge)

Well I finally gave in. I know for years you all have been longing to know what exactly my butt looks like, as rendered by an artist. Well you ask, and I finally find a venu to deliver.

Just took this comic to the TV-14 level!! Hooray!! Well it's not officially rated, but I mean, come on! We see butts in cartoons all the time (unless it's a Disney Cartoon, then they just show vaginas...that was a Roger Rabbit joke). So enjoy my butt, and I hope it keeps you reading more.

Also don't forget to also check out today's new Stinky Foot!

I started celebrating early.

No Bowl. Stick! Stick!

(click to enlarge)

They're tastier than an unguarded penguins nest.

Sorry for the delay. I could go on and make excuses, so I will. It was crazy at work all last week, and I was sick two weekends ago, and then last week was also the memorial service for my dead boss, and then I was abducted by aliens and then...ok, well the first three things are true.

But I now have ideas again so I will hopefully not get paused or delayed.

I am getting a lot of feedback from the people who "The Further Adventures of Josh" is based on, but not many others. Is this whole rehashing of my trip making sense to others? Are you all finding it interesting?

What about Stinky Foot? You guys reading/enjoying that?

I really would like to know.

Also, don't forget to check out my Zazzle Store pannel at the bottom of this page, as well as the bottom of the Stinky Foot page. I put up some new promotional products, as well as some Israel trip inspired products. It's all good fun!!

I Just "Safed" a Bunch of Money by Switching Car Insurance

(click to enlarge)

Wow, this is the last strip of a full year of comicing. Well almost a full year, not counting all those weeks and days I skipped. I appologise to you for those and I also appologise for any comics I miss in the future. I almost missed this one, not due to doing this, but due to gross negligence i almost left the colored strip on my computer at work before leaving for rockland for seder. Thank g-d for co-workers.

So yeah, seder, happy Passover all.

don't forget to check out Stinky Foot's debut tomorrow!

Boy, Did I!!!

(click to enlarge)

Ok, I think I should go see a doctor about this. My funny is missing. What te hell. Has the joke well possibly run dry? Or maybe I am just lame.

So can you believe it? Next week marks exactly one year of C-M University!! Granted, most of you know it now as "The Further Adventures of Josh", but don't worry. The cave men shall return once I return...or I mean, when I return, I will return to the cave men...or, but I am not anywhere...well in the comic I am...but I am not anywhere now...in real life...but then...

Ok. I confused myself.

What? It happens...often...but only in real life...and sometimes in the comic...which is not totally faithful to real life, but based on it...so it's different...

Stinky Foot is going to be awesome!!!
That's all I am trying to say.

Muddy Waters, or Blind Mellon Chittlin?

(click to enlarge)

This one is rather colorful, wouldn't you say?

But is it funny?

I don't think so. But you know what will be funny? Stinky Foot will be funny. I have so far knocked out three strips, and they are so far pretty funny. I have been testing them on the people in my office. So you might say that to work with me carrys an added bonus of knowing how exactly I am spending my time at work...I mean...

So yeah, hopefully I will get a strip done on friday as well.

Hopefully.

I Could Have Gone With Jesse

(click to enlarge)
(if only life were that easy)

So yeah, this strip is kinda lame, and drawn poorly, but I think you get the idea. And if you do, can you explain it to me, because I don't.

So yeah, they blocked livejournal at my place of business, leaving this as the only blog I can access. They say it's blocked because it falls under the category of "adult", which is bull-dookie. So today I was going crazy because I couldn't write in it or read it, and when I am home, I don't go on livejournal as much, for no real reason. It's just really really annoying. But I figured out how to get it back. First I have to convince my boss to let me post an office journal. Basically use it as an excuse to host the weekly meeting minutes on a webpage for people to access at all times, and as far back as they wish. THEN once I get his go-ahead, all I have to do is call the IT department and tell them that Pennywise the clown is scary, and also that I need to access livejournal for the company. Then I will have access at work, and all will be well with the world again. After all, it's only a matter of time before they take away my blogspot, and then I will not be able to read my comics (not just mine, but the ones I have linked in my blog which I read frequently/daily).

Ok, that's enough scheming out of me.

What happened to Ricky Schroder, when did he become such a crazy mo-fo?
I was also calling it from the begining that Nadia and Milo were in on this. Why else would they randomly bring Milo back now?

Down By The Sea

(click to enlarge)

I assure you the view on the Mediteranean Sea is MUCH nicer then how I portray it. Go see for yourself if you don't believe me.

So I am making headway on the "secret" new "announcement" which I will officially make here on this sight on April 3rd (the one year anniversary of C-M University is April 4). SO keep your eyes, ears, mouth, and bunghole wide open.

Bunghole.

Don't Leave Me Hangin' On The Telephone

(click to enlarge)

Ahhhh humorous.

Well I am quickly approaching a year of this comic. Pretty cool, even though I slacked through most of it.

Don't judge me.

As a one year anniversary, I have decided to do something.

Here is a teaser for what I might be doing.
I'm right. I do.

And In The Morning It's, Girls

(click to enlarge)
Apparently every time I try to draw people, I make them look like they have downsyndrome. No one has told me this, it is the conclusion I have come to myself.
So yeah, I missed two posting days, and you must be saying to yourself "what the hell happened? Did he go away? Was he sick? Did his hands fall off?" I assure you it was none of the above. What happened was a case of writers block and just being busy when I wanted to work on the comic, and lazy when I didn't. I was having trouble with where to go next with my comic, and I was stuck on an idea that wasn't going anywhere. Thanks to Aaron, however, I was put on a different diection when he gave me this wonderful idea. Don't blame him if the writing sucks and the joke is offensive, that's all me, he just guided me in this direction...so I guess in a way, if you don't like this one, it is his fault.
I'm getting pretty clever with the secret names, aren't I? Today is also the birthday of half of the name and character influence for Professor Brad Siegel. So happy birthday to Brad.
I almost didn't make this post either. I had gotten that artwork all done, but for the past few nights the internet in our apartment has been not working (for completely illogical reasons, the signal is registered as being there, and Time Warner sees that it's on, but we can't connect). Last night we got a new modem from Time Warner (well actually the other half of Prof. Brad Siegel picked it up yesterday). So we hooked it up and the internet worked again perfectly...for about an hour and a half, then it mysteriously stopped working again, just like before. So now we have to wait until NEXT SUNDAY for someone to actually come to our apartment and fix the problem, whatever that may be. It's all freakin retarded if you ask me. So I had to burn the strip to disk and then upload it at work, where I am now.
That's all for me. back to "work".

Freeze Frame

(click to enlarge)

This is what happens when you tell film students you can't take pictures, no matter what your logical justification may be.

What's with the stick figure?

What's with my steadily decreasing quality in art work?

Lame.

Friday, February 23, 2007

Yeah, "Smell" It!

(click to enlarge)

Hey, they can't all be gold.

Sorry it sucks so much.

"Amy" looks like she was hit by a truck.
"Rucus" not "Ruccuss".
"Their" not "They're".
"Gadol's" boobs are not really that big, she wants you all to know.
So many errors.
"Greg" looks funny though, funny in a good way.

Happy 50th Strip!

You Call This A Welcome?

I still can't believe I haven't gone anywhere with this yet. Expect a long run.

Ok, back to watching Heroes!

Talk About A Chatty Cathy

(click to enlarge)

I think this post wins for wordiest comic ever.

Ok, I want to make sure that everybody knows that Tooti is not based on anyone who was on the trip. She is an amalgamation (is that a word, and if so, is it spelled correctly. Probably not) of two people; This guy I used to work with back in the day, and that fat chick from the comics.

I repeat, not based on anyone from the trip, just an excuse to use this wonderful character who was as annoying to write as she is to read, at least I hope.

Believe It Or Not, I'm Walking On Air

(click to enlarge)

Yeah, I used the same punch line I used in the previous strip. You may say it's being lazy, I say it's running with a good thing. Maybe it will become my catch phrase.

Are you having a laugh? Is he having a laugh?

Anyway, um, yeah. Likin' it? Hope so. I hope more people read comments.

The pilot didn't talk like that, I was just short on space.

Breaking Down All Walls

(click to enlarge)

G-d I love jokes that break the fourth wall. Wait, in 2D, would it still be the fourth wall, or would it drop down a peg to the third? Think about THAT ONE over your morning coffee, or crack pipe. What ever gets you though the day. Who am I to judge?

Ok, I feel I should point out, dicluding myself, every other charcter on this trip will be based on real people, whether on the trip or not. All names will be changed (again obviously except for mine) ince my art sucks so much, even if you think you know who someone is, you most likely will be wrong. If you think that a character is yourself, you might be wrong, or you might be right, or you may be a crazy person in a rabbit costume. Whatever the case, don't just assume and hate me. First assume, then ask, then get confirmed in your assumption, then hate me.

So who wants to be a stick figure? Maybe I should have given myself hair.

Spinning Off Into Oblivion

Well here it is, the long awaited openner to the "Josh" spin-off series.

Hope you all enjoy it.

Hope I actually make it through it without getting too bored.

Much love!

They Never Saw It Coming

(click to enlarge)
Well I am off to Israel on Sunday, and I won't be back until Thursday the 18th, and I really don't think i will be doing too much of the working on strips thing while over there. Birthright trips are very scheduled and will keep me very occupied, in more then one sense.
Depending on how great the trip is, I might make a small story line about it, starting with this one. I already have my jars packed. I hope to get enough milk and honey to last the rest of the year. And then I will have another story line about me and bedbugs, which will make this comic a lot more self focused...at least more obviously.
I think I might want to turn this one into a T-Shirt, because it's funny.
Hope everyone had a good new years, and the lack of comics from me will not be too different from the last month-plus. But I will come back, I swear...
