Say Hello to My Lazy Friend
I thought it’d be nice to divert from the usual way of doing things around here. Not that we need a diversion or anything. *shifty eyes*
The Slothface idea was too good to pass up, in my opinion. I’m sure you guys didn’t mind getting to know one of Bobbo’s heroes anyway.
For now, I’m sleepy. I might be back later if I think of something else to say. If not, see you Friday.
First you get the monkeys… then you get the power… then you get Slothface
We love our monkeys, we really do, but we also love these periphery characters who continue to pop up, the way you love a new toy at Christmas before the batteries run out or you blow it up with an M-80.
The comic didn’t turn out like I expected at all, and that’s a compliment to the artist. I wasn’t sure what I thought it would look like, but it did kinda blow me away this morning. I’m hoping that Slothface makes a return appearance because I wasn’t even sure he should be making an initial appearance. Sometimes, I’m learning, it’s best to just sit back and trust your brother’s instincts.
So it was that I woke up and it was like seeing the marshmallow of your dreams and realizing that you didn’t just wake up with a soggy pillow.
In case you missed it earlier, you can still download the now-semiprecious Slothface Desktop Wallpaper (1280 x 1024; 1024 x 768; 800 x 600). You should definitely, and with no hesitation, get your marshmallow on.
Attacked by fucking spiders
Usually, when PJ and I come up with a comic idea, it comes from a box we share labeled “The Funny.” It sits in a closet and it’s always there whenever we need it. It helps that we keep it online in a central location where we can both get to it. We each have a key, so that’s never a problem.
So imagine our surprise this week when we both went to open the box and not only was the box empty, but a fucking spider that had been lurking under it came and bit us both in the face! First of all, I didn’t know spiders could jump. I know they can spin and swing and all that, but jump? Those legs don’t look very muscular, but this spider leapt like he was made of springs. I think the spider somehow stole The Funny while we were both clutching our faces, screaming.
Which is all to say that because our shipment of The Funny wasn’t delivered in a timely manner, there’s no Space Monkeys! comic today. Yeah, I know. We’re pissed too. I’ve been spending the whole morning chewing out our Funny supplier on the phone, trying to figure out who dropped the fucking ball here. The guy I talked to was brazen enough to suggest that PJ and I should be supplying our own fucking Funny! Have you ever heard of such a thing?
So, we’re going to try to stock up this weekend so shit doesn’t happen again. And we’re going to spray for spiders. I think my eyebrow is swelling up.
