Son of a Space Monkey!
I love The Monkey Bar. There was a level of glee reached when Omar and I came up with the idea the likes of which would be ridiculous for me to ever hope to achieve again in my lifetime. All I can do is allow our favorite space mammals (yes, also counting moon weasels) to revisit the dank setting from time to time. I should’ve pointed out to you kiddos the first time we paid a visit to the bar that our characters are of legal drinking age. So there’s nothing wrong with them partaking in a bit of the alkeehall from time to time. Besides, they’re cartoons. Get over yourself.
Anything but Mini Me’s creation was very odd – aside from him bursting out of an ass in Xenomorph fashion, of course. He was really just going to be a means to an end at first, but now I really like the idea of having him around. I’m not sure how we’ll work him into future strips, but that’s for us to figure out and you to find out.
I plan on working on some more goodies for you guys in the coming week. I should have some link buttons and banner ads up on the hot stuff page soon so you can pimp us out. I’d also like to do another desktop wallpaper, time-permitting.
Spawn O’ Space Monkeys
Why yes that IS a dramatic plot twist you just witnessed. Will the meaner of our two monkeys take to mother(father?)hood like a duck to duck mother(father?)hood or will he eat his young like some of the more developed insects do? Only time and biology will tell.
We also learn from this comic several rules that will always apply in the Space Monkeys universe:
1. When engaged in interstellar battle, always watch your ass.
2. When at The Monkey Bar, always try the free bananas and Pale Ape beer.
3. Monkeys shouldn’t wear such tight pants.
We’re working on that third one, at least.
Until next time… SPACE MONKEYS!!!
Tail Spin
I’ve done a number of things since posting the comic this morning – the last being this here post. The first of which was adding a conspiciously absent tail in the third panel of today’s strip. I keep forgetting that damn tail! So for future reference, if you ever notice it missing again, I’m a dumbass.
Some of the other things I did today had more to do with things that benefit you. I’ve already completed another wallpaper, which I mentioned I might try to do in my last post if I had time. I’m going to hold off on releasing it until we do a strip in the near future which might better explain it, much like we did with theBobbo wallpaper.
I’ve also already made the link buttons and banner ads. Those should be up along with Monday’s comic. I’m going to run them by Omar (who’s off doing LCP things this weekend) before I post them, lest they meet his disapproval and he pokes me with a very sharp stick. A very sharp stick.
And finally, another good thing for you guys. I went back through all the comics and converted them into gifs, which reduced the files sizes considerably. See, dial-uppers, I don’t hate you afterall. I’m just very bad about optimizing stuff. I’ve also been trying to figure out the best way to start making the actual size of the strips smaller. The big problem there is that I draw very tiny by habit. I’ll see what I can do about that.
Well, see you all Monday.
Well, shit
The streak of consistent updating has sadly ended. No excuses here, but don’t let this deter you. The updating schedule remains the same with today’s comic being pushed back to Wednesday. Expect a bonus comic next Wednesday for your troubles. You can also expect that wallpaper I’ve been talking about.
What’s all this “expecting” business, you say? How can I ever trust you again, you might ask? You’re not my real father! Now, give me my toaster pastry! These are all valid feelings when someone misses an update. My reply to you is: I think you all know how much we want our monkeys to touch you.
I did manage to do one thing right. I’ve posted link buttons and banner ads at the hot stuff page so you can pimp my non-updating ass to all your friends. I ain’t much to look at, but I…well, I suppose I’m not that flexible anymore.
See you Wendesday. I promise.
