Monopoly

So I'm finishing up this week's Toadyhog, and guess what comes on tv? A McDonald's commercial, and guess what? They're promoting their Monopoly sweepstakes!--Just a little sidebar of coincidences I suppose-- How anyone can eat that much McDonald's just for a chance at money, is beyond me (that's like going on Fear Factor...think about it). But what really inspired this week's Toadyhog was all the talk of Congress' bailout plan.

Well in other news, I'm still building the new look for ColoredComics.com, learning .php implementation, using ComicPress and WordPress, or at least trying to learn it all. Foreign language to most I know, but I gotta blog about something. Read more comics!

Wil' Out Wednesday!

Go read my comics! If you already read this week's, read last week's!

City Paper Comics Contest

The Jerk


(see this comic in its 3-color, RGB glory!)

So I entered my City Paper's comics contest. Didn't win, no biggie. But they publish one of the entry's from me, the comic that was published being above. My beef is they left out the comic's title. Yes, I called it Random Acts of Boredom, which is the title of comics that I do in that non sequitur style of humor--and was the published title, but the subtitle was left out--The Jerk.

The important thing about the comic is that the title is as much a part of this comic as what the panels are. And the title, is essentially a part of the punch line. Without the title, the comic doesn't make sense. There is no context. It's just a random guy, making arbitrary remarks. Sure it's a little strange, which is the kind of comic City Paper goes for, but its not what I wanted to communicate. But something I've found with doing this webcomics thing for almost a year, is that all entertainment is subject to interpretation. Hopefully as printed, The Jerk is interpreted as funny.

A plus though--Free plug! Got the URL in the paper! So welcome any new readers!

Incomplete

It's almost been a year. That's one comic each, Wednesday. A minimum of 156 comics. That'll be 52+ comics of Toadyhog, The Super Senior and Boomerang. And I acknowledge it to be the minor accomplishment it is. I could publish a small collection, call it the Good, Bad and Ugly: Colored Comics.com Year One. But for the long time readers and the astute who actually bother reading the home page and faqs page (probably the only two pages to gone unchanged since launch), the one comic that has never launch is Colored Comics Presents.

It was my plan to launch my Super-Hero webcomic. Update Bi-monthly with new characters every so often featured in short stories. Heavy on action, but still have a filling story, alas Marvel Team-Up or DC's Brave and the Bold or just a fun action comic.

And this is not to say that Colored Comics Presents, won't make it to the website. It's just I am acknowledging that it's still coming and not forgotten.
