Brother, Can You Spare 50 Million Dimes
Don’t have a lot of time to post with… words… and….
So here’s the facts: Nic Cage owes a metric shit ton of money to the IRS and Johnny Depp stepped in to foot the bill. That’s a Hollywood bromance if there ever was one.
BIG FUN NEWS!!!
I will be a guest at the Dragon Lair Webcomics Weekend Rampage December 12-13 in Austin, TX with Jeph, Danielle, Kurtz, Randy and more! From what I know it’s just going to be a giant webcomics meat meet and greet for 2 days with extra awesome and a dash of good times.
Ever since Wil Wheaton tweeted about and bought the “Holodeck Is For Porn” shirt, they’ve been selling rather well (for the first time). Oh, you don’t know about it? Maybe you should buy one and be one of the cool kids.

"mismanaged funds" is a bit of an understatement…

craziness, and awesome as usual!

You should have drawn Nick in the bear suit from Wicker Man in panel 2! That would have been….well, actually pretty terrifying. Other than that, awesome. You're uncomfortably good at drawing edward scissorhands.

Aww, now if I buy the shirt I'll seem like a bandwagoner. Same with the Groverfield shirt! Curse my delay in purchasing my geek memorabilia!
Also, to be fair, Nic Cage in panel 2 is certainly not Nic Cage from Bangkok or Next or Knowing…you can tell because his hair isn't bad enough.

Raising Arizona = great movie. Right up there with The Big Lebowski.

Perhaps Nick Cage being sacrificed in the Wicker Man pyre and fuel at the bottom is a large pile of Depps money.
November 17th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Hmmm so Nick cage costumes progress through his career and Depp's go back in time….hmmm I sense a deep inner meaning here that I can't quite decipher.

I'm guessing he has a gambling or drug problem. How does a guy who makes so many movies have no money unless its already spoken for?

The theme song from that movie is now stuck in my head.

THat's just crazy
Love scissorhand's hair!

I dont know. You have to take these guys typical lifestyle into account. You get 5-10 mil for a movie and immediately 50% is going to the IRS. You have to have the self control to put aside half the money and not touch it for a year. They're monthly expenses for homes, cars and extravagance is probably more than most people make in a year. They are typically paying the salaries of assistants, housekeepers, etc plus another 10 – 15% goes to the agent.
I bet its pretty easy to go broke, especially when you arent paying attention to where every dollar is going.

hah. she knows. Its in the works but not a priority.

Those are some of the most interesting real person drawings you've ever made. the middle panel is pure solid gold without the text. Something says me those back and headaches are LONG GONE.

He really does *always* play the same character… Except for "Peggy Sue Got Married," which is comedy gold. Also an early appearance of both Jim Carrey and Helen Hunt.

Cause Knowing is half the battle….
November 17th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Where's MY celebrity bailout, dammit? Srsly, it blows my mind that someone could piss away more money than I will make in a lifetime.

They're casting for the Buffy Season 8 webisodes… you could prolly do half of the voices standing on your head! http://scifiwire.com/2009/11/weve-got-the-scoop-o...

bandwagoning it encouraged and rewarded.

This is awesome. I wish to own an island.

There are other kinds of tons than metric? Do you also use metric meters? Metric grams? Metric ccs?
November 18th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Say Joel, this doesn't really relate to this week's update, but I've been watching V for the past few weeks, and I'm kinda having trouble getting a feel for it. Any insight?

My guess is his fetish for Elvis collectibles has gone too far. He already married Elvis' daughter, now he's sunk his money into a secret, immoral cloning lab.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Er, there's also plain old imperial tons.

Check out the current HE Podcast. http://podcast.hijinksensue.com/2009/11/18/hijinks-ensue-podcast-episode-62/
We talk about V at length.

Hello friendys! Just wanted to say (off topic from Edward Scissorhands) that the Dr. Horrible comic is out today! Rejoice! Squee! Plus, Knowing was a really bad movie. Just saying.
November 19th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Do you think he bought the toilet Elvis died on? There had to be some DNA on there.
November 19th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
ohh, I didnt know that silly imperial system also had a ton. Carry on then.
November 19th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
No, I think he bought Elvis' corpse.
November 19th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
His hair is a bird, therefore your argument is invalid.

The Depp Cage financial bailout is new to me. I just heard that Cage was broke the other day. Good, comic.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:55 am
Don't forget his obsession with all things Superman. If I didn't live in the Cleveland area, I'd speculate he'd bought the childhood homes of Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster

New to the comic, but so far, I like what I see. Also, Morrowind.
