The Host’s Lament
Despite what this comic would lead you to believe (who writes this thing anyway?), my birthday party was a smashing success. Thanks in part to the Fancy Bastards who shared in the festivities via live video stream. It was pretty amazing feeling like there were dozens of people watching the shitty movies with us.
Thanks to everyone that came in person and every one else that interwebbed the trons.
Today’s comic is the first one I ever live streamed as it was created. The Fancy Bastards kept me entertained and focused for 7 hours as this thing came together.
You can see videos of “The HijiNKS Ensue Webcomicocalypse” here. I’ll try and edit them together then speed them up for a time lapse type of thing later (assuming I can download them from Ustream).

Facecat is face cat.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
terror + joy = facecate
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Im working on desktops for "The Vault" right now. I'll see if this one is suitable res.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Its a home owners association thing.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
i thought of that as I wrote it.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
We'll certainly have to do it again.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Its based on my cat, Replay, but the spots are in the wrong place.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I think they were seeding the floor with booze so they could retrieve later when they could no longer stand.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Thanks!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
That answers your question, right?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
And you're still alive?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Man, you guys must go through dead hookers like kleenex.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
that dead hooker was your birthday present.
ingrate.
i need that catonmyface as an avatar/icon. it captures my personality.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
yeah seriously, what an asshole, do you have any idea how hard it was to find a hooker that far out of the city?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
<3 the cat's expression!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
To be fair, there was a Dead Hooker Storage sign in front of your house.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
The home owner's equivalent of a "Kick me" sign.

"I guess because her name is Denise, she was destined to have a cat on her face…."
The title got me thinking of Bozo's Lament.

"Drinky drinky floor" reminds me of drinky crow from maakies.

Seriously I have that problem all the time.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
watching the creative process was really neat, thanx for letting us in on it.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I agree – do want.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
"What do you have that makes fire go away?" I LOLed.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
is that one of your cats or just a stray she happened to pick up?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
You just have to know how to lure them. I find that Victoria's Secret designer impostors fragrances and a few hits of crack works wonders.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I morally object to the blatant alcohol abuse in panel two. You should be ashamed of yourself, Joel. Didn't your mother ever tell you about those poor, thirsty and sober children in Africa? Tsk tsk tsk
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
"I'm going to throw up on you later, yes I am!"
I'm flashing back to the party my wife's friends threw the night before our wedding rehearsal. Horrible things happened that night. Wonderful, horrible, wet things.
And loud.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Dook dook dook!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Oh, and since nobody else seems to be saying it…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOEL!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Would make an excellent wallpaper indeed…

Recap from the party podcast male sack:
Me: "Should I keep watching LOST?"
Y'all: "Learn how to stop your orgasm mid-ejaculation. The remaining semen will form into a solid, bullet-like object. Use that mass of congealed semen to fight crime."
You guys rock.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
That answer is almost as universal as 42.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
It's Scratch Fury!

As somebody who lives in a college party house, this comic is pretty much every Friday of the school year at my place.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Not to be a desktop screen requesting whore, but "Catonmyface" is just the thing for my desktop.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Add drunk Grandpa fondling something and this could be my family gathering.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
did you draw Denise first, then the cat over her head? or did you draw the cat and what we can see of her head at the same time?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
CAT ON MY FACE!!! you should put THAT on a tee, you Fancy Bastard!!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
your face.. it has a flavor
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Actually I have a cold now, so Im going through Kleenex like we go through dead hookers like we go through Kleenex.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
just keep a 9 iron in your hands at all times and glare at him knowingly.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I used the same Denise from the previous panel, drew a cat over that then drew the rest of Denise.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
this is not a terrible idea.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Glad I'm not the only one who reads it; I haven't found many.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
More sea monsters, suicide, and mutilation, please!
