Orcman 2

Ok, last Orcman, I promise. I am entering the contest twice, and personally I think I like the other entry better, but that preference came over time so I still had Orcman to finish. Keep that in mind kids, it's important to finish what you started, even if you realize it isn't your best work half way through.

Sorry about the lag in comics, I was in Maui sitting in a hot tub thinking "Man, I am glad I don't have anything to do". 'Comics' falling way under 'Enjoy free contest trip to Maui' on the importance scale, there was no update for a week.

As I have no more contest prizes to collect (yet) I don't forsee more delays.

Orcman 1

You may ask yourself; Why is this comic the same script as a few comics ago? Why is the Dan character suddenly an Orc? Well, there is a web comic contest and this is one of the entries I am sending in, so I tested the script on "In-between Calls" and then drew the characters this week.

Simple!

Sinister Sneeze

Sorry about Friday, my boss let us out early and that is when I usually make the comic. But all is well.

I played through Bioshock 2 this weekend. While I intend to play through again to get the "Evil" ending, I hear there are six in total. I think I'll just watch the others on youtube. The game has, however, impacted me more than I realized. During the first game, which I am leaning towards playing again due to it's greatness, you are in a well-lit, underwater city with windows opening to the vast ocean/city. In the second one you mainly occupy the slums, and windows are grimy, small, and blocked by the city above, eliminating the ability to look up. These "under the train track" hovels give you such a sense of claustrophobia, compounded by the fact that the edges of your vision are constantly cut off by the diving helmet you wear, I find myself wanting to run in a field just to shake it off.

And that, my friends, is how you make a good game.

Biometric insults

There is a detectable thickness to the air, and I choose the word "thick" with purpose. Biometric screenings are great, but certain numbers can be thrown off easily if the rules aren't explained fully. For instance:

fasting 9 hours before blood sugar test is what was told. fasting 12-14 hours is the consensus on the internet, and perhaps eating a huge slice of cheesecake minutes before bed is not the best send off.

Had I not had my levels checked four months prior, I would be on the nervous track to asking my doctor why he didn't tell me I was MASSIVELY DIABETIC? But on the bright side, working out during lunch has lowered my bad cholesterol by 20 points! Take that, heart disease!

Little Dogs!

I hope I don't get any nasty letters over this. Let it be clear that he is being dumb, and not to be emulated. Also, I like pizza.

This will be my last comic. I know, it's sad, but I am passing the torch onto myself as a 26 year old. So, Wed. there will be a much more mature, possible back pain-riddled artist working on this. Hope the audience sticks with it.

Force

HAPPY FRIDAY ALL! Enjoy the Super (eat buffalo wings) Bowl! Don't forget to brush! An apple a day keeps the doctor away! LOUD NOISES!

GPS-napped!

Yes, while I was at work yesterday, in fact most likely during the time where I usually draw the comic, my car was broken into and my GPS was stolen. Joke's on them, my Ray-Ban sunglasses that were sitting right below the GPS are worth more, bwahahaha...hallow victory.

I got the window fixed already, a nice glass place did it while I worked, and due to not having comprehensive coverage I had to pay $175 out of pocket for the new window. BUT, my renter's insurance might cover the GPS, which is worth as much if not more, so I might be ok.

If you see me driving with a puzzled look on my face, it is because I no longer know how to navigate anywhere. HOW WILL I GET HOME TONIGHT?!

Jumpy

A sticky grenade is a weapon from Halo 3 where you throw it at an enemy, and if you "stick it" i.e. it hits your target, they have about 2 seconds to run around like a sillynanny before it explodes. They are blue and glowing and nice to throw.

Man, those kids, though after a weekend I routinely stomped them. Shows them right, who's still got it? (It's me).
