Chapter 10 – The Plague o’ Flies

Posted on by

No sanitation
Rotting garbage everywhere
KABLAM! Plague o’ flies

Genus Glossina
A creature that flies around
It’s a tsetse fly

Flies in your coffee
Swimming in all the caffeine
Hyper tsetse flies

Zipping here and there
Moving too fast to be caught
Beware tsetse flies

Flies with little wings
Wings that flutter and tickle
Hee hee hohuhap

It makes people laugh
Laughing so hard that they cry
Side aches hurt a lot

Luckily they’re small
Tsetse flies squish easily
Troubles averted

Tickle is no more
The flies now fear getting squished
The whole world is saved

Comic #24

For this year’s Spring Break, I went on a road trip with a friend of mine down to my uncle’s cabin in Northern California. We stayed there for three days and drove back up along the coast (through the Redwoods). This comic was partially inspired by conversations we had in the car during the trip.

I decided to try experimenting a little with panel layout in this one. The silhouetted panel was fun to draw and nicely mixes up the visual rhythm.

Chapter 9 – Chernobyl the Radioactive Squirrel

Posted on by

There once was a rather large vat
It was full of this and some that
It had a nice fine sheen
It glowed with bright green
T’was Radium inside the vat

Chernobyl was large and very fat
He liked to eat things that weren’t flat
He scoured the whole earth
For stuff to fill his girth
So he found and devoured the vat

The vat made Chernobyl glow real bright
It made him into a nice night-light
It made him super slim
And strengthened his right limb
It also gave him super tall height

Chernobyl’s stomach started to ache
It jerked and twitched and started to shake
It bubbled and boiled
And felt like it spoiled
He thought eating that vat, a mistake

The squirrel is finally all filled
However he didn’t feel too thrilled
He now glowed in the dark
And his fingers could spark
But he’s glad that he hadn’t been killed

When my brother and I first came up with these characters, all of them had weird personalities. Over time, Bob became more normal. Punjee developed into a naive, clumsy, yet endearing character. Funchy, who has yet to appear in any of these comics, is modeled after my dad’s quirky personality (No offense, Dad!) I’ll sneak Funchy into one of these comics when I get the chance.

After having worked very hard to finish two comics for this week, I’m starting to think that I need to streamline my process. As of now, all of my comics are entirely hand-drawn. In future comics, I might consider doing the drawings by hand and the text on the computer. My ultimate goal is to make this a daily series, but that is not realistic at this point. We’ll see.
