 9.28.04I know it seems kinda sad that Ned doesn't really get a happy ending. He doesn't reunite with his friend Mr. Tickles, and as we leave the Fuzzy Logic characters, all Ned has of Tickles are his memories and a photograph. Just like in that one Def Leppard song. Perhaps all three of the guys have sad endings. Maybe Natalie turns out to be a golddigger and only loves CJ for his money. Maybe Jack's new roommate will turn out to be some kind of horrible monster like a dentist or an attorney. An maybe, just maybe, Ned and Tickles will reconcile once Mr. Tickles get's his revenge and proof from Devon the guinea pig.
I'd like to thank everybody who's read the comic. I guess I never really expected to have fans. I'd like to especially thank all the people who have supported me over the years, either in email or in passing. You've been very tolerant of my horrible ability to keep deadlines. Finally I'd like to thank Brian and everyone at BBspot for giving me the opportunity to share this ridiculous series of comics with more than the 20 people who read them initially.
I'll be doing one high-quality Series Finale artwork that will go out to those of you that have supported me over the years. It's not much of a thank-you, but it's a start. I'm going to take a break from drawing, but you should get an email with the final artwork in a month or so.
Thanks again. Maybe I'll see you around.
9.17.04Some of you may remember to way back in Episode 18, CAUTION: Low Flying Geese that Mr. Tickles accidentally defeated Devon the guinea pig and left him for dead. I'll have you know that I've read guinea pigs are a proud species. After years of therapy, both mental and physical, the orange furred pig put his plan of revenge into action. Will it forever tear Ned and Tickles asunder? Considering there's only one more episode, yeah. It's probably pretty final. But you can always pretend that they become friends again. Sometimes I do that at the end of Return of the Jedi. I like to pretend Luke teams up with the Darth Vader and kills the ewoks, then turns his saber on Lucas. So, you know. I can associate with wanting a happy ending.
As you read this I am either on a beach in Mexico enjoying the weather and warmth, or locked in the bathroom of the hotel overcoming an explosive case of dysentery. Again, I'll leave it up to you to pick the ending you prefer. See you next week!
9.14.04I went back and counted the Fuzzy Logic comics. This comic actually marks my 98th total comic. There are actually only two comics left, and 99 is a continuation of 98. If you have enjoyed the comic over its short and irregular run, I apologize if you feel I'm screwing you out of a comic and a decent wrap up of the characters. If you've always hated this comic and hope that I asphyxiate on my own vomit while I sleep, then this is probably good news for you.
For those of you that have written in to me in the past, I appreciate your taking the time to write. It's been you that kept me from quitting this comic before the 100th Episode. I'll be sending each of you unseen, original desktop-sized art of the characters once the series is over to thank you for your encouragement.(the original art will be available here on QuirkyBastards.net for everyone)
By this time next week I'll be relaxing on a beach in another country, sipping magaritas and hoping for topless sunbathers. I'll post the comic here before I leave. Then I'll see you guys in two weeks for the Final Fuzzy Logic!
8.31.04I apologize for last week. I was busier than a one legged man in an ass-kicking contest.
So today's comic needed a last minute script change to punch it up a bit. I'm not going to say which line it was, but it may be more punch than some sensitive, elderly readers are used to.
I'm in the process of downloading the World of Warcraft 7-day stress test beta. The file weighs in at 2.2 gig, and Fileplanet took it down before many of the people with valid beta keys got access to it.
I'm not real clear on the logic behind it, but I am thankful for Bittorrent clients. I'm not sure when the beta starts, but perhaps I'll see some of you in there. See you next week!
8.17.04I didn't feel I had enough stuff to keep me busy (sarcasm) so my wife and I got another dog this weekend. Now we have two labs, one chocolate and 4 years, one black and 10 weeks. I forgot how tough it is to raise a dog. While it's rewarding seeing him climb his first steps or bite my other dog in the lip, he never sleeps for more than two hours at a time. And while housetrained, if you aren't awake when he needs to go, he's not real big on waiting. If he wasn't so damn cute I'd really resent the 4 am potty breaks, in my pajamas in the backyard. I've been playing Doom3 as I'm sure so are many of you. While it's an amazing looking game, the gameplay itself has left me a bit stale. The first few scares had me keeping a spare stack of underpants by my monitor, but after a few hours the effect wore off on me. I feel pretty callous to being startled now. Should someone try to break into my house in the middle of the night and jump out at me, I think I could pretty calmly whack him in the face with a flashlight.I've also been accepted to the university of my choice and the major of my preference, so I'll be picking my classes in a few days. Thanks to everyone who wrote in to encorage me. Provided Diablo 3 doesn't come out any time soon, I should be able to finish up this time. See you next week!
8.10.04This week I actually drew Q-Borg's remodeled lady borg, Athena. I had originally
planned for him to take Athena over to CJ as a peace offering to bury the hatchet between them. It would be poetic justice for the very instrument that CJ
had built to kill Q-Borg would be used to mend their feud. Then I decided that was simply way too creepy and I went with this script
instead. I've got a couple of loose ends to tie up before the series ends and I really didn't mean to create this new one, but last minute script
changes can really muck things up. Also, I REALLY need to redraw Natalie. She's SO last year looking! Anyhow, thanks for reading. See you next
week!
8.03.04Before I get started, let me just say that today marks the end of an era. My City of Heroes membership expired today and I'm not renewing. Lets all offer a moment of silence to my departed hero, Whiplynch.
So I drew the tux and put a lot of detail into it. I guess I sort of forgot that gray, when shrunk, loses more detail than say a red or a blue. Please use your imagination when veiwing CJ's tux (or CLICK HERE!). Mr. Tickles tuxedo survived the shrinking, though.
No word yet from my college of choice whether or not they'll let me back in. I did get my old High School transcripts though, and I think I should invent a time machine and go back to kick my pre-pubescent ass. It's funny to think of all the projects I have now and the free time I wish I had... it was all on a silver platter for me back then and I chose to barely get by in every class and fill sketchbooks with useless crap instead of applying myself. If any of you have lazy-ass high school kids with lots of potential, punch them in the head for me right now. Trust me, they'll thank you! (Unless they really don't have potential, in which case they'll resent you for the remainder of their lives and blame you for not supporting them from the head-punching point on). Liberation draws near! See you next week!
7.27.04The countdown continues with an appearance from Q-borg. There was some confusion regarding Q-borg, AKA Smitty from early on. He was based on a guy who I'd never seen, and whose only traints I knew was that he was crazy good at Unreal Tounament, and I was pretty sure I hated him. Turns out he didn' look much like the original Smitty at all, so I changed his outfit a bit. In all these years I only ever got perhaps one good picture of him, and by then Smitty/Q-Borg had already developed his own identity.
As far as the projects I mentioned that I'll be working on: One of them will be my lazy undereducated ass returning to college. I never got a degree, so it's first on my agenda. I'm 31, so I have a feeling college is going to suck almost twice as much as it did when I was 18, except now I'll be too old to get drunk with other students. I'll have to hang out in the townie bars and wear one of those John Deere trucker caps. It's my three year wedding anniversary tomorrow. I think you have to buy me someone beaten blue or something.
7.20.04Well, the yoke has been lifed. Only nine more FuzzyLogics and I can have monday to do whatever I want again. If you want to read my revelation to the BBspot crowd, head on over and check it out. While I know I'll miss having a comic, I don't think I'll miss doing it. Plus anyone who's talked to me the past week knows that I've been busting ass on a few projects that I really am excited about.
Also, if you didn't see it at BBspot, here's Skeeter's Evil Soul that will NOT be appearing in the comic. It's probably for the best. Sorry, F7 that Darokin wont be making an appearance this week. :(
/fuzzylogic/images/evil_soul_of_skeeter.jpg
7.13.04You guys all knew I was going to kill the parakeet. Despite the two week wait in between story-line comics, I'm sure it comes as no shock.
Thanks to everyone who sent me advice on printers. I got a great deal on an HP All-in-One. I know I said I was going to go with independent components, but I was able to build a Windows machine out of my old MythTV Linux box that can now do a lot of the muscle work my gaming PC used to, and I don't have to worry about conflicting drivers.
Not much else to report, so I'll let you all return to whatever it was you were doing before.
6.22.04
Since today's comic is more of a plot thing and not a funny thing, I don't have much to say. I did, however add another QB to the ever-growing cast. I added about 20 years or so to him, though.
6.15.04
Wow, what a crummy day today turned out to be. Between work sucking, and having to fix seemingly every computer I stand near, I finally got to draw today's comic. I was half afraid my hard drive was going to crap out, as that would be the third one this week, and we all know bad things come in threes. I think marshmallow peeps come in fours though. And Olsens come in pairs (happy birthday, girls).
I've been toying with the new gmail from Google, and I have to say it's pretty cool. I really have no real need for another email account, but I was curious to see what all the hubbabaloo was about. I'm also pretty sure hubbabaloo is either a word or the big bear from Jungle Book. Either way, I think you kow what I'm getting at. So, yeah... gmail is cool.
I may have mentioned I was really excited about Full Spectrum Warrior. I got it a while back and can say it's not all I had hoped for. I'm still trying to like it cause there's nothing worse than plopping down $50 for a game and finding you'll never play it. Think of all the starving kids I could feed with $50. Or all the marshmallow peeps I could buy!
I threw a new logo up on this page. Nifty, huh? Also, here's a sweet-ass super duper hi-res desktop(12x10) of today's comic. You can see how much detail gets thrown to the wayside like some kind of used up suburb hooker (mom, if you read this, I don't know what a suburb hooker is. I swear. I only use the girls downtown.).
Anyhow, as you can tell I've been awake too long. See you next week.
6.08.04
Two comics for the price of one this week. I wanted to use two scripts within the same scene, so rather than make you wait a week to see the same art and a new script, here's both (Episode 84,Episode 85) at once.
Also added a link so you can click on the comic to progress to the next in line.
See you next week.
6.01.04
Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day Weekend. I had plans to go camping, but the weather forecast predicted thunderstorms every day, and it turned out they were right. Instead we cleaned the house and drove down to Chicago for the weekend.
Today's comic is a break from the storyline because I want to spend some time drawing next week's. I will probably throw a two-fer since I have two scripts for the same scene, but dont want to give you the same comic with two different scripts a week apart. I'll make a few changes to the art and post them both next Tuesday.
Since today's comic contains vulgarities (is "asshole" a vulgarity or a profanity? I always forget) readers under the age of 18 should not let their parents know they read this.
See you guys next week.
5.25.04
I forgot my password (or logon) after the BBspot server changed over and Brian went to bed before I could have him reset it. I have it saved at work, so should I be up before he is (unlikely) I'll post the comic.
Well, as you can see, no one made a guest comic for me while I was off getting drunk and wasting my family inheritence in New Orleans. Probably for the best. The story line gets complicated what with me drawing a new character every week and plots losing their thread every few comics... I did draw a fill-in comic for the week I was gone that's not related to the story arc and is essentially just reused are that's built differently. I just couldn't come up with any text to drop into it, so should I ever have a "Caption FuzzyLogic Contest", I already have the art.
Anyhow, still playing way too much City of Heroes, though everyone I know plays much more. I'm only just starting to catch up in levels, and that's only because everyone else has started secondary characters. Still on the fence if I'm going to pay for next month or just give up the habit. I'll let you know next week.
5.11.04
Okay, it's a cheap laugh, I admit, but it's an establishing comic. I needed to indicate the effects of the blue pill. If FuzzyLogic were a feature film, I would have spent less time on the blue pill thing, but it's a comic, so I have to dedicate a week to it. Perhaps two weeks.
I'll be spending 5 days drinking, listening to live music, and eating in New Orleans, so I won't be around to do a comic. I could punch out a cookie-cutter comic using old art, but instead I've asked if any of the guys the comic is based on want to try their hand at a guest comic. I would have asked Brian to pen a substitute, but I read the dMac story and frankly, I'm worried what he'd come up with. If I don't get any takers for the guest comic before I leave on Thursday morning, there will either be no comic, or one based entirely on old artwork that I'll have to crank out after my plane lands at 10:30 pm next Monday.
See you in 2 weeks.
5.04.04
Today's comic is based on actual events, since I'm not clever enough to have come up with this on my own.
As the comic indicates, myself and the group the comic is based on have been playing City of Heros since last week. It's my first return to an MMORPG since Ultima Online, and I while I really like the game, I'm already convinced there's no way I'd pay $15 a month to continue playing it. The game offers a lot of customization to the looks of your character, and a few variation to the types of character you can play, but there's very little variation in gameplay. I'm sure I'll enjoy it for what remains of the included 30 days of free online play.
Here's a quick tale of how I almost didn't finish the comic this week. Having played City of Heroes all weekend on an low watt power supply was too much for the thing. It burned out in a blaze of nasty smelling smoke. However, because of some bizarre alignment of the moon or something, I'd finished the comic3 days early and so tragedy was averted once again. I think this story would make a good Made for TV Movie.
4.27.04
FuzzyLogic does not condone the use of psychotropic drugs unless you are in fact hallucinating homicidal parakeets. The drugs in this comic were used on a closed course by a professional driver.
I had to look up the proper drug lingo as my daliance with controlled substances is limited to an unfortunate incident with Nair, and one extended period in a closed environment with an open bottle of model airplane glue.
I got plenty of rest this past week and also had a chance to finish playing Far Cry. The game is a lot of fun, but parts of it can be difficult. For example, the last level requires some kind of bionic implant to beat. I was going to give up and just forget ever beating it, but I'm not the kind of guy that wants to known as a quitter. Not me. Instead I looked up some cheat codes and beat it that way. See, I'd much rather be known as a cheater (which will not come as much surprise to the girls I dated in college).
Anyhow, I'll see you guys next week when the SWAT team starts closing in on Skeeter, and Ned misplaces his prescription.
4.13.04
Free Shipping. I love the idea of it essentially based solely on the "no money" aspect of it. The thing that kills me is that any time you order something that offers free shipping, you can't expect it any time soon. Last week I ordered FarCry from Best Buy cause it was on sale and had free shipping. Because I'm fundamentally lazy, and despite that I drive past Best Buy almost every day, I figured it was easier than actually going to the store to have it delivered to my door. On top of that, at the time I was still playing a lot of Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. I figured in the three or four days that it would take to get to my home, I'd have beaten Splinter Cell and have time to play Far Cry.
That was 8 days ago. The tracking info says it's been in Illinois awaiting delivery since last week Tuesday.
You know how some packages have delivery instructions on them? Like "Fragile", "Leave at Neighbors", and "Dogs In Yard Will Eat Package if Left Inside Fence." Mine must say "Deliver when you're not otherwise busy." or "I don't really want this purchase to ever arrive."
Free Shipping, I hate you.
I'm not even going to get started on the bonehead things the delivery guys have done in the past, but lets just say if you ever want a free laptop, just wait near my porch.
4.06.04
Sorry, nothing of note to talk about today. Check back for witty banter next week!
3.30.04
Picked up Links 2004, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, and Trivial
Pursuit Unhinged for the Xbox this week. I feel like a traitorous PC
gamer since I didn't get Splinter Cell for the PC and I didn't get
Far Cry like I had planned. Battlefield: Vietnam and UT2k4 came out
recently and the idea to buy them never even crossed my mind. I never
thought I'd be a console gamer, but being able to talk to your teammates
without setting up a voice program is a big added value.
Trivial Pursuit Unhinged has celebrity voices reading the questions. Brook Burke reads the People and Places cards, and I've said it's like Wild On my Xbox. I've started playing drunk and in a speedo, just to maintain the whole mystique of Wild On.
Any fans of Masamune Shirow should check out the upcoming (Japanese release only) film of Appleseed. I don't know who else has heard of Shirow, but he's always been my artistic hero. I nearly blacked out when I saw the trailers, but I've also been huffing my canned air recently (only kidding mom, don't call poison control again).
3.23.04
Based on input I got from the forum, I've started up a storyline that has its origins way back in episodes 4 and 5. I never really bothered to explain about the parakeet back then, and figured now was as good a time as any. So sit back and relax as I weave you a story you can someday share with your grandchildren, or maybe those old guys you'll eventually play dominos with at the Senior Center, you know, on the off chance you never conceive.
Not much else to report this week. Splinter Cell:Pandora Tomorrow comes out tomorrow. I pre-ordered it with overnight delivery. I have a nagging suspicion that FedEx charges you extra for stuff like overnight delivery, and then if they don't have it to you on time, they leave one of those stickers on your door that says "Sorry we missed you. Will try again tomorrow.", try to make it your fault.
Anyone else picking up Pandora Tomorrow for Xbox, I'll probably be online under the gamertag Warbunny, if you'd like the virtual opportunity to snap my neck.
See you next Monday.
3.16.04
I'm a big fan of the Rainbow Six games. I've played them all from the beginning of the series; even the forgettable ones like Covert Ops and Black Thorn. Black Thorn had the unique pleasure of coming out a week before the same publishers released Ghost Recon, and so me and like 3 other people bought both. Everyone else just got Ghost Recon.
The latest game, Raven Shield, has been... "troubled" by development issues. The game was playable from the box; none of the issues were game-breakers. But with every patch to fix minor issues, the developers would break other tiny things, requiring the need for yet another patch. The cycle went on to almost laughable lengths, so when the developer announced an expansion, Athena Sword, I figured they'd be able to address all their issues from Raven Shield and include them on the new game CD.
Well, I guess there were some bugs to be worked out with Athena Sword and it shipped 8 months later than it was supposed to. And wouldn't you know it... not only did you have to patch your original Raven Shield install to play the expansion... you also had to patch the expansion.
All things considered, though, the game expansion really is fun. It looks great and adds some great new maps. I really like it, and would be playing except I'm just finishing up the comic.
3.09.04
Those of you that read this and thought "He should be ashamed of himself!", you're right, and I am. I'm not really sure where the idea for this comic got off track, but you can see it's totally derailed now. It started innocently enough with the idea of "a priest, and a rabbi, and a ______ walk into a bar..." and of course I filled in the blanks with "transvestite". Not too many directions it can go from there, but by then I'd already drawn the priest and the rabbi.
I was gonna quick draw Fabio sitting at the bar talking about how he'd been dumped by Larissa on "Average Joe", but I didn't know how many people would get it, and after last week I didn't want to run another small-demographic comic (Also, I didn't want to openly admit I watched Average Joe, but here I am).
I'd read on IMDb that NBC bosses were saying Matt LeBlanc had to shed some pounds before his spinoff started shooting, and then read another article about how TV ratings are dropping, and the network executives blame video games instead of admitting they offer mainly shitty programming.
Anyhow, I didn't want to miss a week posting a comic just because I went a little off the beaten path, and I figured there have to be a few twisted people that will read it and smile. For the rest of you...
I'm ashamed.
3.02.04
I probably run the risk of making an insider joke, but...
I was introduced to Peter Jackson's films back in 1987 when my brothers Pete and Davey made me watch his first film, Bad Taste. If you haven't seen it, you'll probably go on to live a normal, productive life. If you happened to see Meet the Feebles, I can;t make that same promise. I'm a big fan of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, though not so much that I ran a fansite or bought every release of the DVDs. I guess it's mainly because for as long as I watch his films, I can't rid myself of the image of Peter Jackson as Derek, keeping his brains safely inside his head with a taughtly buckled belt.
Despite all that, I look forward too seeing what his big budget can do with bigger puppets, as in King Kong. Hopefully Kong wont have a puppet cat bent over his desk, about to "pop his cookies." I'm not making this stuff up, folks.
On that note, I'll wrap things up for the week. Also, please please DON'T email me about Yoda and the whole Episode II lightsaber thing. Number one I was kidding, and number two, that second trilogy doesn't count as real. ;)
2.24.04
I don't want to have to turn in my badge and d20, but I had to recruit some outside help for this comic. Both TheTickBR3 and Monkey came to my rescue when I needed quick reference to an AD&D sourcebook.
Also, you'll see I pretty much only added a cap and changed the clothes for Jack and CJ in today's comic from this episode. I really try to avoid reusing art, but as I mentioned last week, I had a party to throw, and any free-time I've had since then has been spent nursing a hangover and cleaning Hurricane mix out of the carpeting.
Jim, an avid reader, pointed out last week that I'd done more comics already in 2004 than I did in all of 2003. You might think with that kind of dedication that I'd sit back and rest on my laurels. Well, dammit, I'm here to tell you that I have no idea what laurels are. Besides, with Brian gone I need to keep up with my only contribution to the site.
Anyhow, see you next week unless I manage to spit out a bonus comic. (please, stifle your incredulous laughter until after I've signed off).
2.17.04
Not much new to report this week. Mardi Gras is next week, and the weekend of our biggest annual party. I'll probably still be hung over on Monday when I do the comic, but rest assured that the quality of the comic will not suffer! I can say that with confidence since I maintain such a low standard of quality to begin with.
I finished remodelling our bathroom this weekend. As a testament to my low qualty standard, my wife and I have agreed when we sell the house, we'll blame the shoddy workmanship on the previous owners. (Previous Owners, I'm only kidding.).
Anyone affended by comic toplessness, you probably shouldn't have read this comic. You have no one to blame but yourself. Accept some Goddamn responsibility, already! Anyhow, see you next week.
2.10.04
I'm getting back to something resembling a storyline this week. I may or may not keep this sort of "story" thing going. I'm having more fun drawing random characters in unusual settings, but I don't want readers to lose site of the core characters or their vaguely outlined personalities. I may do a daytime drama type cliffhange and let you guys decide if CJ should get the girl. I guess that's less daytime drama and more along the lines of that silly rabbit that never gets his Trix.
That about wraps up my ramblings for this week. Anyone want to join me for a quick game of Rainbow Six:3 on the Xbox? My Gamertag is warbunny. I'll be the one who keeps getting shot.
2.03.04
Today's offering capitalizes on the events of the Superbowl Halftime, as pretty much every other media outlet is doing. It's a tough joke not to make. The problem is that I'm not usually topical, and so there's no reference for the casual reader that happens upon this comic when browsing the archives once the whole boob-popping-out thing is no longer relevant.
I used an interesting technique in this comic that I like to call the "Might As Well Color It Anyhow" technique. Even though I knew I was going to have to wash the comic out in TV blue, I wanted the color values to look right, so I colored it, then changed the hue. I the future, I think I'll save time and abandon that technique.
I finally caved in after months of debating and bought an Xbox with LIVE and several games, so I've got more distractions from the comic. Luckily I'm usually FAR too drunk when I'm writing the comic to be able to play Xbox with any success.
1.19.04
Wondering if I was running thin on ideas when I wrote a comic? Just look for the easy violence joke. Man. I try to stay away from them when I can, but in a pinch, the 3 Stooges Approach is always your ace-in-the-hole. Looking over the archive, I've played this card more than I'd care to admit. Pretty ironic since I poked fun at Penny Arcade for doing exactly that. I'll try to avoid any toilet humor though, but don't hold me to it.
Anyone that remembers last week's promise of Keifer Sutherland appearing in the comic will see that he's playing the role of Glenn, the broad-shouldered black man. I honestly feel it's one of his most convincing roles to date, and I suspect some sort of award in his near future. Something shiny.
Anyhow, that's about all I've got for this week, see you next!
1.06.04
Happy New Year (unless you follow the Chinese calendar). I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday season as their are no more official holidays until May. While I always really appreciate this the end of the year because of vacation days a-plenty and football season, I'm always really bummed after New Year. The next vacation day is months away, the cold weather is really planting its feet, and football season is over for me. I'm a New Orleans Saints fan, so I rarely get too excited about the playoffs.
Speaking of football, did any of you really clean house in your fantasy football leagues? I came in dead last, which is particularly sad since it represents that even in a fantasy, I'm still a loser.
I've started work on a new design for the FuzzyLogic pages of BBspot that will have navigation buttons, as well as allow you to advance to the next comic by clicking on the comic itself. It will let you quickly review the past comics so that you can get back up to date. I'm hoping to have that in place this week, but I want to set it up in a test environment before making it live. My stuff tends to not work right the first time, as my past girlfriends will testify to.
12.30.03
You know that annoying relative you have that waits till the last minute to prepare for the holidays? The guy that sends his Christmas cards out the day before Christmas, and buys gifts for you at Walgreens on the way to your house on Christmas Eve? I'm that guy, except I don't think we're related. You and me, I mean, not you and the guy I just described.
So here's the Fuzzy Logic holiday comic, only 6 days late. In the grand sceme of things, six days for me is a vast improvement over my normal update schedule. A couple of things to point out in regards to this comic:
The first and most obvious is probably my thinly veiled loathing for Santa Claus. I don't know why, but I can't imagine drawing him without some kind of violence involved. I should probably seek counselling.
The second thing is the whole "I Had Subway!" bandwagon I just jumped on. Rest assured, this will be a short bandwagon trip for me as I'm already sick of the commercials. I hope it doesn't become the next "Where's the Beef?" catchphrase. I also hope that the commercials I'm talking about have a wide distribution or no one will know what the hell I'm going on about.
Thirdly, I'm trying a new style with my line art. Those of you that can remember back to my past comic might notice the lines in it aren't very clean. I'm now scanning the art at a much higher resolution, and then using Adobe Streamline to clean them up. You can see the difference in this image I did for an upcoming comic. If you have any input, let me know.
Fourthly, and I think, most importantly, is anyone else disturbed by Santa's jolly ol' man-boobs?
Astute readers will have picked up on the mention of "an upcoming comic". Since I really have no excuse anymore for not keeping a schedule, I'm making it my New Years Resolution to draw one new comic a week. I know that's not much, but I have to set the bar low. I'm painfully aware of what I'm capable of. We'll see how long I can keep that up. Feel free to send me encouraging or threatening emails over the course of the new year.
That about does it for me. Happy Holidays, I'll see you next week!

I'm hoping I don't get hate mail from the Mickey Rourke Fan Club, I don't have anything against the guy personally. I finally made a comic that includes the owner of Rick's American Pub, uh... Rick. I drew him well over a year ago and even made a comic for him and then realized that I'd drawn the bar from the wrong angle to use the image. I finally got around to editing the image to make both a front and a back for Rick. This particular comic was more a reason to use the image and establish the Pub as a common set, so I wrote the script after the fact. Hopefully some of you will still find it at least slightly amusing.
Look for more of Rick's deeply academic banter in comics to come, just don't expect them as frequently as this one. :)

While many of you probably don't remember all the way back to an episode
entitled: The Sting, you'll have to pretend for the sake of continuity that
this new strip takes place shortly after that one, and not the actual
timeframe of 8 months. This isn't "24" and events don't take place along the
same timeframe. If they did, our characters would be far too old to engage
in antics such as these. Ned would probably be in a senior home sucking on
Metamucil Mai Tais.
Which brings me to my second point, you may notice that Jack is mysteriously
missing from the same fate that befell Ned. Well, again, for the sake of
continuity, lets just say that perhaps Jack managed to encourage the judge
to dismiss his case with a very convincing oral argument. *cough*
Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Fuzzy Logic!! (Actually, if you
prefer not to stay tuned and would rather check back on an irregular basis,
that would be okay too. Thanks for reading!)

Last update was April, and before that, January. I'm not even gonna attempt to make excuses. Hopefully I can bring this story-line to a close before a second ice-age, but... you'd better set out some thermal underpants, just in case.

Check out the updates to the cast page! The upcoming comic will feature the five new characters!

Sorry about the long delay between comics. I'm trying to get them done and I feel bad when I can't get to them, but my spare time is at an all time low. I have to set appointments to even see my wife these days. I don't even have time to play games anymore, which is acually one of the signs of the impending Apocalypse. Apologies to all the die hard fans out there: Thanks for waiting. For all the fans I've already alienated, beware the impending apocalypse! Preference will go to those that bought their Apocalypse tickets here at [BBspot].
