Jenna & the Fanclub from Planet Heart Throb - page 61
Hey wow! A callback all the way to page 15! HOLY CRAP that was a long time ago!And speaking of callbacks: Yes, the rent-a-cop-bot is a reference to The Killer Station of Deadly Doom. The film studio probably bought the same model.
Weekly Anime Comics: Slayers Next - episode 21
MAN this one will seem completely meaningless to anybody who hasn't seen the episode... let alone remember really stupid memes.For the record, the runner-up idea was to turn those magic ball things into a reference to the movie Phantasm, but I didn't trust my ability to draw an anime version...
10 WESTERN Songs I Wish Were Anime Themes - part 9
Okay, before I do anything else, let’s shut down the most obvious joke before anybody has a chance to event think it: The band Super Furry Animals are not furries. Learn to tell jokes that weren’t born on The Internet, guys.Anyway, I’ve already told the story of how my childhood full of Oldies...
Weekly Anime Comics: Slayers Next - page 20
I'm not even much of a Lord of the Rings fan, and even I know the explanation for this. It's an entire generation's "Why did the Death Star have such a vulnerable weak spot?" plot hole that isn't one.Also, in my headcanon, Gandalf follows all fantasy heroes around complaining...
Weekly Anime Comics: Slayers Next - page 19
Hey, I've seen the way YouTubers get their Godzilla videos flagged. I absolutely believe that Toho would take a demon dragon to court.And remember, everybody: you all need to vote on what the NEXT Weekly Anime Comic will be once Slayers wraps up! And if you're a patron for more than $5, ther...
Far Out There: MadLib 5 - page 8
I bet you thought I'D forgot about them too, huh? Nope, this series is still going, just shambling along at the slowest speed possible. Like all my other projects, really. Clearly, my whole creative output is well-represented by a hoard of zombies (Sorry, I'm just coming off of several strai...
Weekly Anime Comics: Slayers Next - page 18
"Also, make sure to avoid the social media tablets. Everyone complains about how bad the current tablets are, but every time they try to carve new ones they just turn out even worse!"I mean, yeah, I know a form of The Internet already existed by this point of the 90s, so I'm not exactly ...
Far Out There Christmas Leftovers
I know, right? We're a week into January and somehow I'm STILL inflicting Christmas content on you? How could I POSSIBLY have any holiday content left after everything I inflicted on you all over December? Well, to tell the truth, I don't REALLY have any new Christmas stuff... but I'...
Conventional Wisdom: Cosplay America 2022 - page 3
I really shouldn't talk, I'm on record as once thinking somebody was cosplaying as Sgt. Slaughter, when it was the real actual Sgt. Slaughter. But since when have I let a chance to make fun of stupid young con-goers slip past?Anyway, that's the last of the leftover Cosplay America 2022 p...
Weekly Anime Comics NEW SERIES POLL!
It's that time again already? Well, not really, but I don't like to rush things. It's been a while since we last had a vote, and even longer since it was more than just a basic "Yes/No" choice, so I wanna make sure there's plenty of time to build some hype.And yeah, after two...
Weekly Anime Comics: Slayers Next - page 17
Also, it was raining really bad yesterday. You write what you know.No, but seriously, Yoink does have a point. Even before Tumblr and DeviantArt, people were still making episodes of shows exclusively to fuel fanart.
Weekly Anime Comics: Slayers Next - page 16
It's an episode about sports in which multiple characters shout about "GUTS." Do you seriously think a mind of my vintage WOULDN'T immediately go to the Nickelodeon show? I mean, the alternative would be to make a Berserk joke, but that would almost certainly require going in directi...
My Most-Played Christmas Oddities
Okay, so the past several years I did a countdown of what my most listened to Christmas songs were, helped along by the fact that some computer swapping meant my iTunes play count was reset, so I could start from scratch and compare the difference. I’d THOUGHT about doing that again this year, hen...
A Matter of Black and White - chapter 1
The pulsating, multicolored light of the sun washed in waves across the rocky surface of Scintillantem Contingent. The strobing spectrum of the star was spectacular, but also the only color on the entire vista aside from grey and slightly darker grey. Scintillantem Contingent itself was every bit as...
A Far Out There Christmas Carol (rough draft)
It seems like every year I talk about wanting to do “A Far Out There Christmas Carol” as the big holiday project… and every year it doesn’t happen. There’s always a very good reason, of course: the fact that it’d be EASILY the biggest Christmas project I’ve ever done, and would take WA...
Weekly Anime Comic: Slayers Next - page 15
Heck, I'd SO forgotten about this bit, that I'd already started penciling an entirely separate comic before the scene hit. Originally, I was gonna make some form of joke comparing the reclusive guy with lots of dolls to your stereotypical otaku... which in and of itself would mostly just rip...
Far Out There Christmas Soundtracks MASTER LIST
OKAY! I spent all month spamming Patreon with these blog posts, time to gather 'em all up!If this is the first one of these posts you're seeing, some context: I put together a whole bunch of playlists of what kind of Christmas music the various main characters of Far Out There would listen t...
Far Out There Christmas Soundtrack: Tax
If it felt weird to not have Tax come immediately after Stilez, trust me. This is ABSOLUTELY the one that had to come last. Even if I could imagine anything following this one up, I can’t imagine any of you would be willing to actually stick with me after this. Those who saw Tax’s regular Charac...
Far Out There Christmas Soundtrack: Bridget
I mean, yeah, who else could it be right after Alphonse? Once again, though, I find myself in a bit of a quandary when it comes to picking Christmas songs that Bridget would listen to. Her original Character Soundtrack was full of loud, fast, messy Rock songs, and unfortunately there’s not a lot o...
Far Out There Christmas Soundtrack - Alphonse
Okay, Tabitha’s Christmas soundtrack required me to look at things a bit differently and think a bit harder about the song selection. This one, though? This was easy on several levels. For one thing, it’s Alphonse. We already know he likes sophisticated Classical music, and it’s not as if ther...
Far Out There Christmas Soundtrack: Tabitha
Okay, here we go. This is probably the biggest departure from any of the original Character Soundtracks, and it’s at least partially a matter of grim necessity. Tabitha’s regular musical preferences are very much in the Stoner/Doom Metal direction. Lots of Black Sabbath and bands who wish they w...
Weekly Anime Comic: Slayers Next - episode 14
...but that's just ridiculous. I mean, what kind of absolute lunatic would actually try to create something based on a Mad Lib? That'd be stupid!
Far Out There Christmas Soundtrack: Stilez
Well, THIS is gonna be really quick. Just in case you don’t remember, even though it’s the sort of thing you could probably figure out without being told, Stilez’s Character Soundtrack is full of Power Metal. Big, dumb, loud exercises in guitar shredding and silly lyrics, perfect for a big dum...
Yes, STILL ANOTHER 10 Christmas Songs You Possibly Don’t Know
HOW AM I STILL ABLE TO FIND SONGS TO FILL OUT THESEBLOGLISTS? I mean, I know exactly how, it’s because the music industry has long been full to bursting with writers and performers all desperate to hit the jackpot of a song that just keep getting played over and over, year after year, regardless o...
Far Out There Christmas Soundtrack: May
Technically the newest character to get a Christmas Soundtrack this year, though anyone who’d been paying attention knows that May was appearing in Far Out There for YEARS before she was technically “introduced.” And since most of those early-bird cameos were in Christmas comics, it’s only f...
Far Out There Christmas Soundtrack: Jenna
Last time we had an extremely 60s Christmas playlist with Trigger, and this time Jenna brings us an extremely 80s one! Yes, in keeping with the heavy reliance on frothy Synthpop in Jenna’s regular Character Soundtrack, I decided her Christmas one would have to lean just as hard on songs that were ...
Far Out There Christmas Playlist: Trigger
Now things get a bit weird. Trigger’s official music of choice, as befitting a kid who runs around in barefoot hippie garb, is Psychedelic 60s music. Specifically, of the sitars and power chords variety. Alas, the 60s counterculture wasn’t especially big on celebrating commercialized versions of...
Weekly Anime Comic: Slayers Next - episode 13
Some background for those of you not familiar with late 90s anime drama: Lost Universe is a kinda-sorta-not-really-but-maybe spinoff of Slayers by the same author, which got an anime adaptation of its own that was... legendarily bad. As in, the name of one of the episodes became otaku slang for "...
Conventional Wisdom: Cosplay America 2022 - page 2
...so instead I spent the evening sitting in the parking lot of an entirely different hotel.Seriously, half the reason I went ahead and did the whole "pictures of the old Animazement hotel" thing was because I worked out a winding backroads way to get from one hotel to the other without actu...
Far Out There Christmas Sountrack: Layla
Hey, you want some Christmas music but don’t wanna stop listening to rock? Well GOOD NEWS! Layla’s got ya covered! Layla’s musical tastes are well established to be stripped down, riff-heavy Rock and Roll, and you might be surprised just how easy it was to come up with a decent mix of tunes th...
