Buy my book. Buy my book. BUY MY BOOK! Why is Joel reading a newspaper? Perhaps you remember the treatment that Steve Jobs, a Buddhist, had at the hands of the editorial cartoonists of America. Yesterday, upon learning of Christopher Hitchens’ untimely death, my friend Josh Cagan commented via twitter: “That sound you hear is every [...]

Here’s To The Crazy One, The Misfit, The Rebel, The Troublemaker…
by Joel on October 6, 2011 at 4:13 pm“Winter Is Coming” shirts are now IN THE STORE!!! [based on this comic] When Steve Jobs stepped down as CEO of Apple, I made a comic about it and wrote a post about the impact Steve has has on my life and the world at large. I felt weird writing about him like he was [...]
You actually have to pull the face-rubber bands while they’re on your face to properly (and respectfully) launch them. A lot of you are too young to remember Captain Lou Albano, but to us children of the late 70′s and early 80′s he was a pop-culture fixture. The 1980′s stood in such stark contrast to [...]

No… wait, that was Cesar Romero. If there is an afterlife, I hope it’s governing body has a sense of [...]
Any regular reader of HE knows of my love for the craft of voice acting and voice over, and my respect for the artists that bring our favorite characters and movie trailers to life.

Don’t forget “fart,” “turd” and “twat.” I dare you to watch this and not laugh your ass off. It’s not just the words. It’s the delivery. Listen to the cadence of his voice. Look at the expressiveness of his face and hands. When I was young, I was obsessed with stand up comedy. I’d devour [...]
Joel’s is “Jomiceiomimus.” Josh’s name is still “Josh.” “Utah Josh” or “Josh Raptor” just doesn’t sound right. If you read the comic and you’re all, “Gwah?” proceed immediately to Qwantz.com for an explanation. I’ve said it before, but I REALLY enjoy me some Dinosaur Comics. Thanks to Ryan North for putting up with this. “Gwah” [...]
