EOS 47: SAD 3, The Way Things Are

Yeah, It is not only Valentine's Day. It is the one-year anniversary of my first comic! Here is hoping that I will have more time to work on this thing in the real world. Maybe, it will actually be worth reading when I have time to come up with a few jokes.

Anyway, on this Single's Awareness Day, I regret to inform you that Shark-Blimp cannot love you, mainly because Shark-Blimp isn't real, but even if Shark-Blimp were real, it would still just be a flying robot incapable of love. However, you can take some comfort in that if no one loves you, I love you. No, wait, I hate everyone. I guess you are kind of up a creek.

Well, I am dead, and I have a lot of writing to do tomorrow, so good night.

EOS 46: SAD 2, Special Delivery

Yeah, this comic is mainly autobiographical, except for the robot Valentine Delivery.

Oh, and if you were paying attention, this completes the fist year of my little comic.
56 posts 46 of which are comics. You know. That is not bad for a part time project, by a man who is writing a doctoral thesis. Take some advice from me, don't go to graduate school if you do not like long hours of research.
This little speed set is actually a rather useful exercise. I will have one last black and white one for you tomorrow.

Anyway, good-night, and remember Shark-Blimp loves you. Wait, Shack-Blimp is a cartoon. We'll think of someone to love you tomorrow.

EOS 45: SAD 1, You are not invited!

OK, To give you all a little Valentine, I am doing not one, not two, but three comics this week. The next one is tomorrow!
I can't promise that they are funny to anyone but me.
I will finish up the other storyline, sometime this month.

As for Single's Awareness Day (SAD) dinners and parties,  They are a tradition I started observing back on Valentine's day 2008, in Evanston. To be honest, that actually was a very sad day, but I really enjoyed the dinner. Anyway, they are a great time to get together and pretend like we don't actually care about happy couples.

Anyway, Shark-Blimp Returns Tomorrow!

EOS 43: Crimes of Youth, Crimes of Passion

I am not sure how to gauge this one. On the on had it took me like two months to complete. On the other hand, I didn't actually work that much on it over those two months. Anyway, right now, I think it is OK.

As for the story, this never explicitly happened to me. It is just me piecing together feeling and events from my childhood and fantasies. As for theological debates, I have decided that I will keep them explicitly out of this comic, mainly because all I will do is piss off people. I am not exaggerating when I say that I disagree with the entire world when it comes to theology. However, its place in people's interactions with each other is still an interesting topic, and that may be addressed in the comic.

So this storyline has one more strip in it. Then I will do my Valentines Day strip and finish up the semester with preparation for a longer story that should take me about a year to finish.

Maybe, later on this week I will do a special post about alarm clocks and whatnot. I suppose with me getting a real job I will have to start using one.

also, who wants to go to the Toronto Comic Arts Festival?
Evan Dahm and  Danielle Corsetto will be there, and they will be debuting the color edition of the third Scott Pilgrim book! Also, a lot of it is free!

Finally, I have my defense date set. If you are going to be in Ann Arbor on Friday April 26th, then you can listen to me give a talk on the last three years of my life.
