I am actually late for Eli’s New Year’s party, so I will have to update this post in the new year. After my fridge exploded today (true story) I was just glad to get the comic posted before 2009. Links: ‘Watchmen‘ Legal Woes Update Is There Any Reason Not To Boycott Fox Next Year? ‘Watchmen‘ [...]

Archive for ‘December, 2008’
Bill Watterson and “Calvin and Hobbes” are two of the primary reasons I started making comics. Those of you who donate or subscribe to The Vault, have seen my earlier attempts to emulate his work (“it’s like Calvin and Hobbes but with a robot instead of a tiger!”). I don’t know of a cartoonist that [...]
Twas The Night… (Guest Comic by Tindómiel Muinamir)
by Joel on December 24, 2008 at 11:13 am…Of The Living Dead Before Christmas (Alternate Title: “Zombiesplode!”) Tindómiel Muinamir caps off the week of Fancy Bastard holiday guest comics with her zombie-fied Santa tale. I was super excited when Tindómiel (Christine) agreed to contribute a comic since I was already a fan of her artwork for Jonathan Coulton’s t-shirt design contest (hers is [...]
The Scrooge Who Stole Television (Guest Comic by Ed)
by Joel on December 22, 2008 at 1:54 amWhen I decided to take a week off of comicing to spend time with my family and catch up on projects I called on a few Fancy Bastards to fill the void. These particular FB’s had made their talents for art and funny known to me in one fashion or another the last year, so [...]
The Geeks Will Play. Starting today you will be treated to a trio of guest comics from your fellow Fancy Bastards. Regular HE programming will return on Friday 12-26-08. You may remember Didu from about 6 months ago when she sent me this completely awesome hand painted birthday card for HE’s one year anniversary. Her [...]
Since most HE comics are topical in one sense or another (at least I think they are), I thought it would be fun to post updates on some of the stories that recent comics were based on. Will Smith gives big to Scientology (update to Yo, Homes, Smell Ya’ Later) Bonus link The History Of [...]
It Puts The Black Mock Turtleneck On Its Skin
by Joel on December 17, 2008 at 5:05 pmSorry. I watched “Hannibal” last weekend. Hannibal Lecter is my favorite fictional villain of all time. I’ve always said, “If I have to be murdered and eaten, I want Hannibal Lecter to be the one to do it.” You know why? One word. Class. Not only is Steve Jobs NOT giving the keynote speech at [...]
If you outta’ mans, I feel bad for you son. Yes, I know “99 Lives” is more of a Mario thing, or a Contra 4 DS glitch thing, and the Konami Code only gave you 30 lives in Contra, but I couldn’t resist. My lyrical flow mustn’t be stifled. I love the idea of an [...]
I only have internet for a second (sitting in front of a neighbors house in my car stealing WiFi). I’ll try to make a post later. The Dark Knight fan commentary BD-Live feature shown on video Review: The Dark Knight Blu-ray Disc [Batman] EDIT: I realized the “TV Screen” layers were turned off. Drove to [...]
Friday’s comic, Xmas Trip, Guest comics and More News
by Joel on December 11, 2008 at 6:54 pmSeveral things you might be interested in: I’m leaving for a family Xmas road trip to my home town. We’ve been packing and preparing all day so Friday’s comic will probably be up sometime during the day on Friday (assuming I can find internet access). I will probably be away from email, comments and such [...]
