Ever made out with a duck? IT’S AMAZING.
Oy! Sorry for the delay. I was swamped with graphic design work yesterday, not to mention that it was also my 23rd birthday.
Jeffro and Caitlin are an even match for each other — at least when it comes to fighting. But, according to the first panel, where does one necessarily find a wrench and a hunting knife in a bar?
On the other hand, Caitlin and Kyle the Duck are a perfect pair: both are moderately sinister and both like to wear black.
Speaking of fashion, I have placed an order to the good people at PureButtons.com for 100 Nigel and Randy 1″ pins. These two are new designs apart from what I had drawn a year ago, so whoever owns the old Nigel and Randy buttons (Pat Doran, I’m looking at your general direction) you may wanna get a hold of these:
Drawing Lizzy dancing and Cailtin tackling Jeffro was a task, but I think the comic turned out pretty well.
Of course, drawing Jeffro getting beaten up and Lizzy in any situation is always fun.
Given the situation, I find it odd that the bar will allow a fight to occur and a girl to dance on top of their tables… but, then again, it is a campus bar…
Needless to say, this was a fun comic to draw.
In other news, Pat Doran fractured his elbow and asked me to draw his comics for the week. He wrote the dialogue but gave me full reign on the art. You can check out the comics here.
In this comic, I tried to build some tension between Jeffro and Caitlin and even tried to allude to as-of-yet-unrevealed backstory to their history (like why Jeffro really doesn’t have a nose).
As for the Coldplay reference, I think a lot of music hipsters are saddened by the fact that they are getting really popular. For me, I’ve always have and always will support those awkward British chaps. I’m just sad that their concert tickets are outrageously expensive now.
While looking back and reading Caitlin’s dialogue, I’ve noticed she sometimes speaks in this “helpless,” cutesy-wutesy vernacular throughout this storyline. In retrospect, the way she talks towards some people masks the inherently evil aspects of the devil-woman.
So why did Jeffro and Caitlin break up? Oh, would you like to know…!
Blood of hospice patients.
Finally! The formal introduction of Caitlin the Psycho-Bitch Ex-Girlfriend! She’s one of my favorite characters — so evil and so dark. Plus, drawing the broken heart symbol and her long bangs is utter art joy.
Little known fact: I started the “Rules of Attraction” storyline before I updated Jeffro’s current hairstyle. When I decided to continue the arc, I photoshopped Jeffro’s old hair out and replaced with the current one.
This comic marks the debut of the popular Kelly the Nympho. Apparently, all the female fans love her. Kelly, like most of the characters, are based off real people. The real Kelly is a sweet and wholesome gal, yet was supposedly really kinky with her old boyfriend.
