This biggest difference in the typical straight dude’s celebrity crush and Josh’s is that Josh will likely have sex with this dude before he dies and Kiera Knightly wouldn’t noticed if you jumped on a hundred grenades made of poison dicks to save her.
AUSTIN, TX FANCY BASTARDS! Dragon’s Lair Webcomic Rampage is less than a month away! Details HERE!
I’m working on a new HE Store, that will live HERE when it is done. I’ll be offering new products that I’ve never offered before and I’m pretty excited about it.
Calling all Whovians with holes in their ears! Just look at these Dalek earrings my wife made! They’re in her Etsy store and ready to EXTERMINATE your… lack of perfect ear jewelry?
Joel's pose in the final panel might be his sassiest yet. If it wasn't for the "finger to the face" I would image he was smacked by Josh's word balloon.
My only real goal in trying to improve my art is to increase the sassyness of poses.
Although it's sassiness would be somewhat nullified by a change in the speech…. "Do these pants make my butt look big?" 😉
You're all about that sass, 'bout that sass, 'bout that sass, in Joel's poses!
If you aren't standing like that the next time I see you at a con I will be sorely disappointed.
mm, 'dat sass
Sass factor: MAXIMUM
THANK YOU FOR THIS COMIC!!
It's frigging refreshing to see reverse sexistism in a neo sub culture get recognition!
Ow I hurt my brain.
That HAS To be a title of someon's sociology thesis, right?
I want a t-shirt with "sexistism" on it.
The script and the comedy beats for this arc are spot on, Joel. Cracking me up, every one of them. Also agree with Evan above: the sassiest pose yet.
Sidenote: I think I can cover several friends' xmas gifts in your wife's Etsy shop. Her work is great.
Thank you so much for the encouragement and kind words.
And another completely true story. DrummerBear is on my bucket list.
Dudes on my bucket list: Kevin Smith, Robert Kirkman, Tyler Labine, James Corden, Gerard Butler, Hugh Jackman (but only when he's Wolverine), The Rock, and Kenny Rogers about 30 years ago.
Good luck man, good luck.
Considering all those guys are straight, I'm pretty sure my success rate will be 0%.
But thanks for the support.
Completely off-topic, but I just wanted to mention that a noisy, autoplaying video ad for CVS Health played for me; it was in the adbox directly below the right side of the comic. I don't know your official policy towards ads, so that might not be against the terms you give advertisers, but it was a first for me so I just wanted to let you know.
If you see it again, take a screen shot and email it to antares @ hiveworks . com
Pondering: could Josh's presence here make him enough of a celebrity in his own right to become someone else's celebrity crush?
Corollary: Do celebrities have celebrity crushes, or do they just become regular crushes at that point?
To my knowledge, Josh's "celebrity" status has already payed off, so to speak.
I would imagine celebrities tend to "stick with their own kind" because the extraordinary conditions of their lives would be difficult for "normals" to deal with.
Doing an archive binge here, I kind of want to know how the playboy Josh ended up with a long term partner/husband as you mention in your articles. Loving the comic and the Josh sass!!
I want to know the same thing. It mirrored his real life, but I don’t ask too many questions.
