the Tan Socks project

get ready

2008-07-17T14:49:00.001-04:00

so. i have 9 more comics on the way. i'm sure that makes everyone happy. the catch is that they are going to be the last 9.

"last?" you say? yes. i'm going to stop writing Tan Socks for a while until i get my stuff together and really know what is going on in my life and in the comic. i'm not very happy with what i have now, even though it's a scrapbook of my life in college. which i will finally be done with next month (YES.).

thanks for reading.

markers

2008-05-28T16:55:00.003-04:00

hi. so i lost all my markers somewhere. i'm sure that they're just hiding, and i put them in a strategic location the last time i "cleaned" my room. please let that be the case.

anyway, i have some comics done, but they're not colored. unless those colors are green, red, or a flesh tone. maybe they're under my bed.

chapter 12

2008-03-04T12:49:00.002-05:00

new beginnings from bad endings. i'm not going to make you any silly promises about a real plot or frequent update schedule. but. it'll be better this time.

Sketch Week

2008-02-26T12:02:00.002-05:00

hello. it's sketch week (25-1), because when i'm teaching i just doodle on brown bags all day, and don't have time to make real comics.
(also, i just realised that i set something to update on feb. 30th, and we don't have one of those. dur.)
anyway. if anyone wants to make me a guest comic, now would be a good time.

OTHER UPDATES- i went back and deleted all the old obscure commentary from the archives (or most of it) and replaced it with more relevant discussion. like this

that is all.

2008-01-21T11:35:00.000-05:00

EDIT: the page seems to work now. have fun!

hi. so a lot of you have commented in the past that my spelling is horrible. well. now it's affecting my page design skills. for whatever reason, i've spelled some of the XML on he homepage wrong, and now you can't see the main comic. i did fix it, but it's taking a while for the server to update. so. if you want to see today's comic, go here:
http://tansocks.comicgenesis.com/d/20080121.html

that's the archive page. and i'll keep trying to get the other stuff to load. eventually that transparent montage at the top will be a set of rollover buttons. in the meantime, click on the text links to take you anywhere in the site.

ahhhh!

2008-01-10T10:10:00.000-05:00

hi everyone. i have made new comics for friday (11), and all of the following week (14, 16, 18). so that should be fun.

in other news, i cannot access my ftp site to do anything else beside upload comics, so if there are broken links and stuff, i'm really sorry.

IF YOU CANNOT SEE THE MOST CURRENT COMIC, PLEASE CLICK "REFRESH". (there's some kind of comicgenesis glitch.) (do i need a new doman or what?)

that's it for now.
e-mail with questions, or post in the forum.

new!

2007-09-16T22:01:00.000-04:00

Dear Readers:

tomorrow starts a new chapter in the saga of our heroes. i hope you enjoy it. i tried to think of a way to end the last chapter, but all i came up with was a large banner that reads "TIME PASSES". Just assume that we skipped all summer, and have now returned.

love,
X

2007-08-08T16:37:00.000-04:00

hello.

please no one stone me. i'm doing pencils for the new chapter. i promise.

i hope everyone has had a great summer (as it comes to a close). i don't want to make any big promises, but i'm sure the comic will be back up by the time we go back to school...

2007-03-14T13:22:00.000-04:00

i'm still cranking out comics on a tuesday-thursday schedule, so that is going to stay consistent. (except for yesterday, but that was a mistake.)

i just finished a 14 page thesis about using graphic novels in the classroom. it was kinda hard, but this is the first paper i've been interested in enough to get 14 pages out of it. (I got to use Derik Kirk Kim as a reference!!!!!!!11!!ONE.) I've actually taught a class using Vera Brogsol's webcomics and Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes.

that's it for now. i'm going to have a coloring book contest soon, but not yet. i'm still working on other homework.

keep reading!

new things

2007-01-03T23:23:00.000-05:00

SCSC updated. i'm not sure when it happened, but there are 12 new pages. which is really sweet.
i think i'll be updating starting around next monday when i get a chance to scan the stuff i've been drawing.

new year, new blog

2007-01-02T03:04:00.000-05:00

hiya folks, i know that there wasn't a comic today, but that's because i've been very busy eating chocolate and drinking champagne and playing game boy to notice. i hope everyone had a happy new year, btw. i spent it making sauerkraut/pork for all my friends, and having a marvelous time.

i'm thinking about interaction, because aside from the few of you that e-mail me, it's hard to keep in touch with all my [numerous?] fans. i'm thinking about outsourcing the Forum to this site. Let me know what you think.

that's all for now. i have to go make my Pokemon level 36 before i try to beat Koga again.

color

2006-12-09T23:28:00.000-05:00

i finally got around to coloring last Wednesday's comic. i hope it's to your liking.

i've also recently got a lot of fanmail indicating that i can't spell. well id liok you to nkow that i arm a vurry goodly spellar. so thaire.

new stuff

2006-11-30T12:53:00.000-05:00

hi everybody.

new comics starting tomorrow, with a featurette: Memiors of an Indie Rock Geisha.

next week starts regular updates, inculding a special Tuesday Suprise! (horray)

and now for another edition of "things that update when i don't"

1.) Accio Brain! A website devoted to comics about Harry Potter.

2. ) Wanted- little guy drinks a magic potion, and suddenly hot men of all races are attracted to him.

enjoy.

now i have to go take a make-up algebra exam for extra credit. oh joyous day.

static.

2006-11-15T09:30:00.000-05:00

so today one of my professors actually e-mailed me to request that i meet him to discuss my grade. this is a bad thing. i'm telling you this, because i didn't want you to think that i'm singularly neglecting the comic. i'm just not doing anything.

actually, i have been doing some things. i've been writing a lot, trying to remember what it feels like to write a good story. i've also been working on some really cool illustrations for my Graphic Design class. maybe i'll post some of these later, so that it'll feel like i did something.

right now i'm thinking about making a "writing" page, for things that i do and all this wonderful fanfic i've been getting recently. i'll do this right after i update the "cast" and "gallery" pages.

doodles

2006-11-01T10:01:00.000-05:00

i'm so happy with the way things are turning out. i would tell you that there's going to be a big suprise at the end of this chapter, but that would be a lie, since i havn't written anything yet.

anyway. here are some doodles that i made, because i don't like algebra.

xavier is sad because he doesn't understand. at all. ever.

a shark!

WHERE COMIC?

2006-10-25T10:14:00.000-04:00

yeah, so the comic didn't upload. and for once, it's not my fault (horray!)

here is the comic:

(hopefully it will post on the site later today.)

2006-10-23T08:20:00.000-04:00

i really love today's comic, because it represents the first time i managed to get ahold of the watercolors, and make them obey me.

-to duplicate Jason's hand motion in the first panel, rub your thumb and first 2 fingers together, and say "greazy".
-wes is wearing an Electric Light Orchestra* t-shirt, which i wish i had.
-X actually wears different clothes. (i was suprised too.)

*some woman came up to me in a bar when i was playing songs on the jukebox, and drunkenly requested that i "play some country". she was obviously checkng me out, so i said something like "well, i'm not really into country..." and then i hit 6604, which was ELO's "MaMaBelle", and she says "What did you just play?" so i tell her, and she says "are you old enough to know who that is??"
later in the evening, when my request of Benny and the Jets came on, some dude at the bar shouted " SHE'S GOT ELECTRIC BOOBS!" really loud durning the intro. i was very happy.

2006-10-14T19:40:00.000-04:00

raise your hand if you're not happy with the amount of updates we've been having lately.

::raises hand::

i'm sorry that i haven't been able to keep the three a week schedule. midterms are hard, and this year i'm actaully trying to study for things. i have a lot of new comics made, so there should be a new update on monday at the latest.

2006-09-29T15:54:00.000-04:00

hi. i know i've been bad lately with updates happening all over the place and really horrible backgrounds and such. the regularly scheduled comics will be back up on friday, assuming nothing goes wrong with the comicgenesis server, and i'll try to keep a regular schedule from now on. i might have to change to just tuesday/thursday updates though. maybe if y'all-d send me some fan art, i'd have more stuff to post when i'm busy. (just a thought)

and here's a doodle from my algebra notes:

2006-09-25T13:18:00.000-04:00

no comic today, because i'm doing homework, and it's taking forever.

2006-09-19T23:58:00.000-04:00

normally i don't reccomend "furry" comics, because i'm not really into that. however, this site is quite amazing, and you should check it out right now.

and as i continue to dredge through the "gay/lesbian" section of onlinecomics.net:

http://lexicon.genkiinc.net/index.html

(i'll make this a picture link later. blogger is being shitty.)

2006-09-18T12:01:00.000-04:00

today's comic is scratchy, making it look less like a webcomic, and more like the art that it is.

heh.

2006-09-13T22:02:00.000-04:00

in response to some recent concerns:

13 Sep 06, 21:37
simon: hey hate to be a nitpicker, but she totally set him up with a drag queen, not a transsexual (as far as has been shown). . . TOTALLY different things.

thanks, simon, for pointing this out.
i'm sure some of you are thinking, "transsexual? buh?" and possibly wanting to hit me with a stick. i just wanted to let you know that's it's not because i don't know the difference between dragqueen, transsexual, and transgender; it's because my characters don't. but they will learn. (and so will you)

love,
X

2006-09-12T16:48:00.000-04:00

the comics are done for this week, as promised. (yay!)

stay tuned next week for more excitement:

2006-09-11T12:56:00.000-04:00

new chapter = new fun!

wednesday's update will depend on whether or not i finish this [captivating but trashy] book:

2006-09-04T12:35:00.001-04:00

art update #1:

i wanted to give the whole cast a makeover. it was time.

2006-09-03T16:43:00.000-04:00

new site design! (mostly because next week is no comics, all art filler).

let me know if you find any bugs.

-X

2006-08-30T08:56:00.000-04:00

did you figure it out yet? did you?

2006-08-28T11:16:00.000-04:00

the update is late. late! (i should be flogged for insubordination).

bad news: school starts today. again. because i was in school all summer.
good news: boring classes= more time to draw comics!

and a gift for you, because i was late:

-X

2006-08-25T00:23:00.000-04:00

hi.

there isn't going to be a comic today. because i was out watching a movie, and didn't scan anything. i'm sorry.

more next week, including the dramatically fierce ending of the chapter.

2006-08-22T15:28:00.000-04:00

Pimp & Ho: Sissy Sins

i thought this was on topic.

2006-08-18T18:32:00.000-04:00

friday's strip is up, and has been for a while. but i've been busy.

-the couple that reads together, stays together.
-Xavier accidenlty got served pistachio ice cream.
-drag queens are scary sometimes.
-the end.

2006-08-16T09:49:00.000-04:00

yay, update!

-that thing in the background is supposed to be a bench. outside.
-'bekka was supposed to be wearing "julia robers in pretty woman" boots, but i keep forgetting to draw them up to the thigh.
-wes has feelings. aww.

in other news:
-New links! (go check them out)
-stay tuned for a great performance next week.

2006-08-14T15:23:00.000-04:00

tan socks now has a MySpace. we should be friends!

2006-08-14T08:31:00.000-04:00

autoshape bubbles, how i hate you.

anyway, today and wed.'s comic are a little interlude from the main storyline. (except that today's has some drag queen banter at the bottom...)
new links page ~~soon~~today!

-X

2006-08-09T14:23:00.000-04:00

YAwN! i have not had much sleep lately. i decided to go out on monday, becauase my roomates were fighting.

good news= i almost have the whole chapter drawn.

other news= i'm redesigning the links page, because half that stuff i don't even read, or it's outdated, or just stupid. so do you guys want like, just a block of banners? or should i keep the descriptions up? (and the fans all go "wait, we have a links page?")
your input would be orgasmically helpful.

also. does anyone know how to make bolgger layouts? (i want to make one that looks like the old frontpage.)

Love: X

2006-08-08T13:32:00.000-04:00

in an attempt to make you all well-rounded comic scholars, i search for webcomics of merit all the time. today i found this:

2006-08-04T13:55:00.000-04:00

yikes. today's strip seemed a lot better when i was making it. i don't know what happened. just look at the boys kissing, and not the backgrounds.

Thank you for using the Comment Box. (interesting suggestions about drag queens songs)

2006-08-02T13:12:00.000-04:00

i put the comment box back on the front page. i hope it doesn't cause too many problems. (popups, ect.)

2006-07-31T13:34:00.000-04:00

hello everyone!

if you havn't noticed, there's a new front page, just for this chapter. (because it's fabulous.)

um. the next group of comics are going to be about drag queens. mostly because Xavier doesn't know what one is, or what one does. i'm sure all of you do, but if you don't, then this will be a learning experience.

Madame George is a really old Van Morrison song. in case you were wondering.

Audience Poll: what's the best song you've ever seen a Queen perform?
(mine happened around christmas, when Miss Brianna Brooks lipsynced the voices of Rosie O'donnel, and the Elmo puppet she was holding. later, she did the carol burnett version or "the twelve drinks of christmas").

2006-07-28T11:33:00.000-04:00

don't freak out. there'll be a new comic on Monday.

2006-07-27T09:14:00.000-04:00

lets try this again...

2006-07-26T09:15:00.000-04:00

in my comic absence, i sugeest you read other things. like this:

2006-07-25T11:57:00.000-04:00

here's a preview of next week...

2006-07-24T13:30:00.000-04:00

hello. blogger has been not working so well today.

ANNOUNCEMENT: there will be no comics until at least Friday of this week. i have 2 tests tomorrow, and i was in sunny Baltimore all weekend. i've been making the most recent updates by drawing things on newspaper, cutting them out, and putting them together on the copy machine. i don't know how that's going to look, but it'll be something. (i hate summer school.)

the winners of the fan art contest are posted. no one's told me what to make for their prize yet, so i wanted to make sure you knew that. thanks again to everyone who participated!

love,

2006-07-17T13:38:00.000-04:00

2006-07-17T12:32:00.000-04:00

-find the swan dress.

i really like the way this comic turned out, the ink did exactly what it was supposed to. and of course, there's always one model that falls.

new chapter starts soon.

2006-07-13T23:11:00.000-04:00

so i don't know what's going to happen, but:

2006-07-10T12:04:00.000-04:00

good... afternoon.

i don't have any comics for you today, but take this funny sketch instead. (I've been reading books about knights lately.)

the fanart entries will be judged this week and the WINNER will be announced on friday.

that is all.

2006-07-07T13:35:00.000-04:00

FAN ARTS ARE DUE TODAY! {competetion is fierce}

hrm. today's comic took a long time to color. which is why i don't know what's happening with monday's yet. either way, you'll have something to look at.

hope everyone has a fun weekend.

-X

2006-07-03T11:17:00.000-04:00

good morning! i had an amazing weekend.

yes, this was done in ink. i kinda like it, though.
i have 2 fanarts. the rest are due by friday. or you're grounded.

-X

2006-07-01T15:16:00.000-04:00

sorry for the late post. i was out all day yesterday riding ROLLERCOASTERS.

anyway, today's comic is kinda self explanitory. you can't see it, but right now Xav. is like "i got all dressed up, for this?!?"

aLSO. the Fan Art contest deadline has been bumped to july 7th. (because people were having problems. or don't care, or are lazy, etc.etc.) for official rules and guidlines go to:
http://tansocks.comicgenesis.com/Fanart.htm

that's it. have fun this weekend, and a happy 4th of july!

2006-06-28T11:06:00.000-04:00

first, about the zig-zag lines-
the pan-african studies building has all these crazy wall murals in warm colors. i was trying to capture it, minimalistically. (see: badly)

stay tuned for more excitement: Xavier wears a tie! See 'Bekka squeeze into a leather skirt!
-X

2006-06-26T11:25:00.000-04:00

sorry for the late comic. i have a test tomorrow.

yeah, the backgrounds are wierd. i'll try harder next week.

i also made a new page layout. still greenish, but all the same color this time. and it also uses lots of brackets {{{{which are my new sectret obsession}}}}

-X

preview of next week:

2006-06-23T13:34:00.000-04:00

we're back to color. (and i rejoice)

in today's comic, i attempted to experiment with making shadows in the background. i don't think it worked.

that's about it. more plot development next week.

-X

2006-06-21T09:27:00.000-04:00

hi

i didn't color today's comic because i was tired. however, friday's will be a lot better.

-x

2006-06-19T09:31:00.000-04:00

our regularly scheduled storyline will continue on wednesday. (the cartoonist is whiped out today.)

amuse yourselves by playing a game of "find the jolly rodger"

-x

PS. more new cast pictures.

2006-06-16T18:13:00.000-04:00

ah. thank you for all the comments!

first off, the dresses in the background are representitive of fashion [accidents/atrocities/masterpieces]that have occoured which are representitive of crazy shit that fashion students make.

second, laquita won't be wearing the swan dress. that's just trifilin'. HOWEVER, if you were to win the FAN ART contest, and wanted that as your prize- we could work something out.

3rd, thank you for the comments about the cast page. i'll be adding more of the characters soon.

2006-06-15T23:37:00.000-04:00

i revamped the cast page. you should check it out.

today's comic:
-was colored in a hurry.
-if you've never seen a drag queen before, this might not make sense to you. however, if you've never seen a drag queen before, you're missing out.

2006-06-14T15:48:00.000-04:00

-meet "the boys".
-i did the colors, and then noticed that they all kinda fit together. reminds me of the "three graces" (though i wouldn't refer to our new friends as graceful.

also:
i'm working on a new links page. with good pictures, and not ones that i've cropped out of the comic.

-X

2006-06-12T19:40:00.000-04:00

-today's comic is TOO BIG. and somehow ended up grainy. (this fills me with rage.)
-i want to make a " woke up today with a sudden intrest in fashion" t-shirt. (you guys would by shirts, right?)
-stay tuned for comics about Underwear.

also:
this (girl?)'s art is pretty cool: http://fakepaperclip.livejournal.com/

AND! i have made a tansocks Live Journal Community. it's open for posting, so send me some love.

2006-06-07T09:00:00.000-04:00

i love today's comic.

-Lidia likes to muse about boys that don't really exist. guys that take you dancing? i don't think they exist anymore.
-no, i don't know why larry's mohawk keeps changing colors.

make me some FANART, and win a prize. (follow the link for details, or look at monday's post.

2006-06-05T00:02:00.000-04:00

it's not tomorrow yet, but i'm posting anyway.

first off, thank you for all the comments! (the make me feel appreciated).

second, today's comic only has one panel, and that's because. uh. because i didn't want to waste that particular drawing (and shove it in the gallery where no one would ever find it.)

third: i'm going to have a fan-art contest. the winners will get something shiny, such as a drawing of anything they wish!! in the past people have asked me to draw lots of things, from unicorns, to erotic scenes with megaman characters. sooo... fire up your pencils! i'll also be posting this in the forum (see link to the right)

contest 1: Fan Art Contest

participants will submit one piece of art (in digital form) that includes something to do with Tan Socks. the characters don't have to act like they normally would, but the art must inculde at least one of them. this can include, but is not limited to:
-a portrait or drawing of one or more characters
-sequential art of character(s) doing something
-some kind of collage thingy that can use tansocks comics, but put together in a new and different way
or
-a rehashed comic where the dialouge is changed to create a different outcome.

contest 2: Link Button Contest

participants will submit a link button for my site in either .jpg or .gif format that is either 88x31 or 200x40. it must include
-the words "tan" and "socks" somewhere.

WINNERS WILL RECIEVE:
-one piece of origional [digital] art by me to be specified by the winner.
-the satisfaction of knowing you were better than the other people that submitted stuff.

good morning!

i really like this cover. it's fun when i get to play with filters like "lens flare". most of it i made by cutting out pieces of paper, though.

if you havn't noticed, all the chapter titles... i mean, the chapter titles from 3 on have someting in common. guess first, and you win.

[spoiler]
this particular chapter, is going to have something to do with a student fashion show.

that's it. wait- no it's not. i did a fan-comic/art for Zan's Comic. it's about maniquinns.

and i solved my rubick's cube.

singing while riding a bike can be very dangerous. especially if it's Chaka Kahn, and you're trying to do hand motions with it.

however, like sining in the shower, something about singing on a bike makes you sound better.

always wear a helmet.

2006-05-30T08:54:00.000-04:00

good morning.

i hope everyone had a good memorial day. i went hiking, which was a lot of fun (except for the part where i fell down and scraped up my drawing arm.)

monday's comic looked a lot better on paper. maybe i should make it smaller or something.

more new stuff tomorrow!

PS: i've been reading this comic called "so common, so cheap" ~~it makes fun of~~ it's about emo kids, and the art's pretty good.

good morning.
comics are done until next friday, complete with partial male nudity on monday (you're welcome).

then we start chapter 7! here's a preview of the cover i'm working on:

now i'm off to math class.

2006-05-22T13:23:00.001-04:00

i'm in summer school. this, however, means that the comic should update regularly, as i'll be in the library so often.

2006-05-04T14:01:00.000-04:00

this is Charlie. he's a lot smarter than you, but most of the time he doesn't feel that way.

2006-05-01T02:32:00.000-04:00

comics all week. i promise.

also, i like ink again, and i've been away from the library. so no computer colors for a while.

2006-04-26T20:28:00.000-04:00

the new comic is up. i'm sorry that it didn't get posted on monday, but monday was not a good day for me. (i spent it drugged on cold medicine, alternately napping and watching Golden Girls reruns.) thanks for all of your freindly encouragement.

i know this is a crappy scan, and i'll have the edited version up later. i still don't know what friday's comic is going to be about... (the exciement!)

the author is sick. there will be no comic today.

2006-04-19T15:13:00.000-04:00

i put some new sketches in the gallery. (i actually used to have red hair. and wear that hat.)

2006-04-19T09:03:00.000-04:00

i didn't get a chance to color the past two strips. however, friday's will be colored. and bigger.

2006-04-14T00:11:00.000-04:00

2006-04-12T11:28:00.000-04:00

i don't like it when creepy guys stare at me in the locker room. it makes me not want to work out ever.

also, people have been asking me about the autobiographical nature of this comic. to them, i say this: The comic is directly influenced by my everyday life. however, the scenes and events that take place within the comic are not meant to critisize any one person, as i want the carachters to act out these events in a new way. life gives me the ideas, but if i'm pissed at you, i'd call you and tell you about it. not whine, and make passive-agressive comic strips.

the layout's messed up again. i'll fix it later.

in other news, it's my birthday.

2006-04-05T00:18:00.000-04:00

i don't really know what to say about today's comic. i just hope that never happens to me.

2006-04-04T15:24:00.000-04:00

i don't know if there is going to be a comic tomorrow. because i'm sick.

also, i love natalie portman. even if she's not safe for work. (click to watch her swear and hit people)

2006-04-03T09:15:00.000-04:00

i love today's comic. i wish all of them could be this good.
EDIT. i keep adding to this post, because it's exciting.

-i like wes' flannel shirt in panel 3. i also like his sock in panel 1, but you can't see it because of the thought bubble.
-i was considering spelling ever, EVAR- ~~to convey the satrical nature of the strip~~to make it funnier.
-the layout was a midnight revelation, (like zomg, it looks really sweet with him in the middle!!).

2006-03-28T13:44:00.000-05:00

stuff to read on days my comic doesn't post:

2006-03-23T14:30:00.000-05:00

chapter 6 starts in 2 weeks. here's a teaser:

-right now i'm drinking coffee with soy in it. i don't know how i feel about that.
-tomorrow's comic is fun, because the characters get really amorphous when they fight each other.
-next week is spring break, which means i won't be around to fix things. i'm sure you'll deal with it.

2006-03-22T09:28:00.000-05:00

i like today's comic. finally, something i'm proud of.

-they're still in a warehouse, and that thing is a sack of flour.
-the flamingo likes shiny things, but then again, doesn't everyone?

2006-03-20T18:35:00.000-05:00

if i were you, i'd want to shoot whoever colored today's comic. that's just garrish.

wednesday and friday feature comics with backgrounds and panels. (that don't look like they were colored by someone with a cognative disorder).

2006-03-16T08:01:00.000-05:00

i was reading this comic today...

http://lordwhatfools.comicgenesis.com/

i'm not sure if i like it, but i like the art. woot.

also, i'm playing around with the front page layout. again. tell me what you think?

2006-03-15T09:26:00.000-05:00

today's is the first comic i've liked in a while. next week we'll have comics with PANELS and BACKGROUNDS. i'm really excited.

today's comic also reminds me of mega-manX. hopefully no one sues me.

2006-03-06T10:45:00.000-05:00

teh cartoonist are no feel good today. ::cough::

(it's a good thing i made a 2 week buffer this weekend.)

are you a good witch, or a bad witch?

2006-02-24T10:23:00.000-05:00

today's comic shows that i should never be a fashion designer. i like the dress, but i don't know if it could ever exist in real life. also, these two panels are riddled with photoshop. i don't know if i like that [ethically], but it saves me money on paper.

-if you didn't catch it, this is a completely different character. she will not be named until next week.
-[newcharacter] likes pink. a lot.
-[newcharacter] can also create clothing out of thin air.

stay tuned for more!

2006-02-22T10:30:00.000-05:00

AHHH! DON"T LOOK AT THE FIRST PANEL!!!!1!

anyway. i'm still experimenting with the cut/paste backgrounds. i like the way this one turned out. i don't know if i'm going to keep it up, though.

2006-02-16T14:16:00.000-05:00

dear fans. i regret to inform you that i've been drawing doodles of Project Runway instead of making monday's comic. i should have something between now and then, but if not, i'm sorry. to make up for it, here are the humorous drawings:

2006-02-15T09:28:00.000-05:00

today's comic was a quickie with Rodger the tablet. that's why it's so bubbly.

2006-02-14T00:42:00.000-05:00

the valentine's day comic is up. it makes me laugh. feel free to post me some valentines here, or in the forum...

2006-02-10T09:20:00.000-05:00

today's comic is another pallet drawing experiment. this is why it has no backgrounds. monday's does. they're supposed to be standing outside of the movie theater.

-allen seems to be quite frustrated, wes annoyed, and Xavier is oblivious as always.

2006-02-09T12:31:00.000-05:00

HOLY CRAP WE HAVE A FORUM NOW.

http://forums.comicgenesis.com/viewforum.php?f=897

use this forum to make comments, suggestions, and start discussions related to the comic.
i don't think anonymous posting is allowed, but making an account is free. and if you ask really nicely, i'll make you an avatar.

today's comic was drawn with Rodger, the drawing tablet. (we're dating now).

-allen usually gets over his random encounters sooner than this.
-they're not watching brokeback mountain, because Laquita really wanted to see harry potter again.

-art by Riot in the gallery. it's awesome.

2006-02-06T17:17:00.000-05:00

today's comic was late again. but it's not my fault this time. so HAH.

-brokeback mountain was a really interesting movie. my friends all had different reactions to it. Eric cried, Adam made fun of Jake's 70's porno moustache, Nicholas complained about the lack of naked heath ledger, and amy asked her sister what was for dinner.

-horray for lighting effects. i hope all of you can tell that this is a movie theater.

2006-02-03T09:40:00.000-05:00

today's comic was late, and i'm sorry. i named the files wrong, because i can't read a calander. (yay college education!).

-today's comic is about that feeling that you get when you're bored in class, and your sences go all wonky.

2006-02-01T01:24:00.000-05:00

today's comic is about cell phones.

-wes never called. wes has better things to do than call twinky boys he had one nighers with.
-allen's hair is a different color becasue i couldn't find my other yellow marker.
-this comic has a background. ::motions to background::. i hate drawing backgrounds.

2006-01-30T09:18:00.000-05:00

for the record, goatees do tickle. unless they scratch, in which case- tell your boyfreind to shave.

-at this point, i think, Xav. is willing to believe anything that wes tells him. it's called love.
-also for the record, that was not an adequate check for VD. one or both of them should probably get tested after all that dirty mansex.

in other news, i've been making fan art for other people's comics. karma and all that...
