Stuff for the Weekend

A “sketch” I spent way too long on that turned into what you’re looking at right now.

Okay, so I totally meant to post this at the BEGINNING of the weekend (because, of course, that would make more sense, considering there is no comic). Well, straight to it — a couple of things, I’m sure you’re all already aware of the new design and the new-ish forum, where I got bored and decided to start an MS Paint Adventure.

You are ZEKE.

If you’ve never heard of Andrew Hussie or MS Paint Adventures, you should educate yourself — granted, if you consider yourself dorky enough to enjoy/participate in such madness. Because it is quite dorky, but that’s what I love about it. It’s a game, and the player is you. The premise of an MSPA is an artist tells a story and the readers contribute commands to advance the plot, whereupon the artist continues the story however way s/he sees fit, but using the readers’ suggestions. Andrew Hussie popularized this (if not being the first person to come up with the concept) with the epic story of Problem Sleuth, which started as a simple detective story and, thanks to the readers, became an incredible, nonsensical journey.

So if you’re bored, you should definitely come join our own homegrown paint adventure, which is in part a tribute to Mr. Hussie.

Another forum user picture request.

Last thing I want to mention was to stay tuned for an animated comic strip coming soon to… the top part of the website, if Enzo doesn’t completely fail at Flash. Have a great week, people.
