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.

  3. hijinksensu5337

    terror + joy = facecate

  4. hijinksensu5337

    Im working on desktops for "The Vault" right now. I'll see if this one is suitable res.

  5. hijinksensu5337

    Its a home owners association thing.

  6. hijinksensu5337

    i thought of that as I wrote it.

  7. hijinksensu5337

    We'll certainly have to do it again.

  8. hijinksensu5337

    Its based on my cat, Replay, but the spots are in the wrong place.

  9. hijinksensu5337

    I think they were seeding the floor with booze so they could retrieve later when they could no longer stand.

  10. hijinksensu5337

    Thanks!

  11. hijinksensu5337

    That answers your question, right?

  12. hijinksensu5337

    And you're still alive?

  13. orf8297

    Man, you guys must go through dead hookers like kleenex.

  14. denise6217

    that dead hooker was your birthday present.

    ingrate.

    i need that catonmyface as an avatar/icon. it captures my personality.

  15. josh5363

    yeah seriously, what an asshole, do you have any idea how hard it was to find a hooker that far out of the city?

  16. doug5364

    <3 the cat's expression!

  17. farris8328

    To be fair, there was a Dead Hooker Storage sign in front of your house.

  18. dram10661

    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.

  20. doug5364

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

    Seriously I have that problem all the time.

  22. jonny_ace12141

    watching the creative process was really neat, thanx for letting us in on it.

  23. deanhatescoffee

    I agree – do want.

  24. deanhatescoffee

    "What do you have that makes fire go away?" I LOLed. :)

  25. fraktruck8125

    is that one of your cats or just a stray she happened to pick up?

  26. aj5558

    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.

  27. aj5558

    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

  28. king_zilch6474

    "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.

  29. king_zilch6474

    Dook dook dook!

  30. king_zilch6474

    Oh, and since nobody else seems to be saying it…

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOEL!

  31. SamLaw

    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.

  33. jerry_thoma8632

    That answer is almost as universal as 42.

    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.

    Not to be a desktop screen requesting whore, but "Catonmyface" is just the thing for my desktop.

  37. aaron6928

    Add drunk Grandpa fondling something and this could be my family gathering.

  38. john_darc6624

    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?

  39. Santi

    CAT ON MY FACE!!! you should put THAT on a tee, you Fancy Bastard!!

  40. mysterioust5403

    your face.. it has a flavor

  41. hijinksensu5337

    Actually I have a cold now, so Im going through Kleenex like we go through dead hookers like we go through Kleenex.

  42. hijinksensu5337

    just keep a 9 iron in your hands at all times and glare at him knowingly.

  43. hijinksensu5337

    I used the same Denise from the previous panel, drew a cat over that then drew the rest of Denise.

  44. hijinksensu5337

    this is not a terrible idea.

  45. doug5364

    Glad I'm not the only one who reads it; I haven't found many.

  46. doug5364

    More sea monsters, suicide, and mutilation, please!
