The Josh scowl is full of win. So are the the HE bugs (would that make Eli a cucaracha?)

The HE bugs look oddly familiar…

Joel, were you watching A Bugs Life / Ants with the kid?

shouldnt there be a final panel in which Josh ruins everything for you anyway because he'll give away all the spoilers? that way everyone wins, and that is how our friendships work.

Smug!Joel in panel 1 is AWESOME, and deathglare!Josh in panels 3 & 4 is made of win!

This is why you're great. I thought the EXACT same thing as I finished writing this one.

You guys as insects are great. Josh has less than a year to get his Joshhopper costume ready for Halloween. I'm looking forward to it.

Antie Joel looks chipper enough to be in a Disney film. Or an ad for prescription mood elevators.

That's why you don't see him. The lights are on, so he's behind the fridge.

I think this goes on the top ten most awesome character drawings of all time.

Pissed off Josh for teh win!!1! We should start a post of emergency tv shows that you can watch in case of fire/strike. I'll start with 'How I Met Your Mother'.

The books are good, and the only season I've watched (I think there might be only that one) is really good as well. Bob is not just an incorporeal skull but can take human form, albeit again incorporeal.
KravStorm

I'll see your "How I met your mother" and raise you a Dresden Files.

Too much TV? I do not understand this concept.

I can second the vouch for The Big Bang Theory. The geeky humor is surprisingly well done. They must have some true super-geeks on the writing staff. I almost didn't watch the show because I thought it was going to be a bunch of really bad and outdated "make fun of nerds" jokes. But it's more like a bunch of really good "laugh with the nerds" jokes that are very current.

Plus, there's a super hot blonde girl that is rarely appropriately dressed.

I stopped watching Heroes because the plot lost any coherency.

I'm like the polar oppisite.I started watching heroes randomly somewhere between the second season and I thought it made total sense.
Duder

I love that you gave the grasshopper Josh's beard
bloodjun

oddly enough i have been waiting to watch a few of those shows as well… PLEASE no actor strike though… as much as Heroes sucks compared to the first season, i still don't want it to disappear forever… and it will if there's another strike… no doubt about it.

Pretty sure this is one of the best Hijinks Ensue comics yet.
Great art! Great writing! By your powers combined, I am… AWESOME STRIP!

Me toooooo!
Also Fringe, and basically everything but Chuck, House, The Office and 30 Rock that I'd care to start watching.

Oh man the Spanish versions are so great just need to add some ponchos and sombreros and it'll be perfect.

Fear the PINCERS!
Also, your "stored" TV: do you mean DVR recordings or DVD box sets? And what do you have against Big Bang Theory? You're all about geek humor & so r they! Anyways, the last panel is EPIC WIN!!!

You will not be disappointed sir! And please don't give up after the first couple of episodes, because they smarten up the female character to average intelligence after that.

it hurts less when you already know its cancelled before you start watching it.
hijinksensue
November 25th, 2008 at 9:21 am
Most of these shows are available on their networks website, hulu or netflix.

I actually forgot to include this one in the comic. Ive never seen an ep, so I know its there waiting for me in times of need.

is a meth addict "dedicated" to meth?
hijinksensue
November 25th, 2008 at 9:23 am
My honest excuse is none of my friends are watching it or pressuring me to watch it and I already watch too much TV.

No prob.
I guess I should specifically mention that I'm particularly digging that new background you've got going on recently.

I love the Joel thought bubbles. We should have more HE comics with Joel's thoughts!

Oh wait…most HE comics ARE Joel's thoughts…

I haven't watched that series but I really like the books. Jim Butcher does such a great job of keeping his universe running through out the books without letting it get too big.

Hey, things can only get better with Doomsday in it! Also, Clark & Lois have great chemistry together. How can you not at least grin when they bicker?
doug
November 25th, 2008 at 11:36 am
No, someone with an accent would have to be the evil grasshopper, 'cause, you know, people with accents are evil. You need a real Amurican fer the hero. Someone like … Hayden Christensen!

Awesome strip Joel!
Is it me or does Joel in panel 4 remind anyone of The Monarch?
Kyochan
November 26th, 2008 at 3:44 am
Oh my god…you're totally right!

I want a HE with Joel dressed as the Monarch and Josh and Eli dressed as 21 and 24!
