Another blog comic from Molly, dated as taking place the day after the last one I posted.  Panels 2 and 3 are basically just copy and pasted from Twitter; which is to say, Dan wrote his own dialog.  Thanks, Twitter! EDIT: Dan later replied to this strip and typed what is possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever read on Twitter: “Nicholle’s just mad because she’s the moon.”

Having finished an entire week of Lit Brick in a single day, I now have nothing to do but draw things for fun.  Thus, My Life in Sticks returns.  This one is fictionally dated as July 25th, 2008. A few things to note: first, I’ve finally answered the question of what Comic Trout draws, since it obviously can’t be the same as Real Trout’s work.  Simply put, he draws a different stupid detective comic.  Second, it’s sort of odd that Comic Trout is the idiot in this comic.  It’s like I’m actively trying to not make him a Mary Sue.  Finally, the fact that Dan is apparently becoming a regular in this comic amuses me far too much. These four strips have all been from Molly’s blog strip in and around Comic-Con time, mostly because that’s the most fun for me to focus on.  Of course, she would’ve drawn strips every other day in the year as well, so maybe I’ll get to some of those eventually too.

Silver Age Sporkman, Issue 2: This one is kinda gross. Again, any reblog / retweet would be nice.  I’d like this goofy little series to spread out a bit.

Deleted Sporkman #02: This entry from the Forgotten Binder of Doom wasn’t numbered, but is dated as March 5th, 2005.  This actually confuses me a little, since March 5th was in the midst of that little storyline where Andie created the Negaspork.  I suspect I had just built up a good buffer at that point and that - while drawn on March 5th - the strip would’ve been posted later on in the month. Interestingly, this strip was fully inked on paper, which implies that I planned to post it online until the very last second.  Be that as it may, I reinked it today in Illustrator as part of my continuing effort to “remaster” Classic Sporkman.  I’m doing as little as possible to change the line art during this process, as I’d like to retain the charm of the original artwork from 2005.  The only reason I’d reink a fully-inked comic like this is because the original ink was thick and sloppy.  The digital inks are a marked improvement, and blend better with the new colors and letters.

My Life in Sticks, fictionally dated July 27th, 2008.  I’m pretty this comic is okay since Meredith sliced all that hair off shortly after the Con.

Another entry of Molly’s blog comic, My Life in Sticks, fictionally dated as being from July 21st, 2006.  Making these is way too much fun.

Deleted Sporkman #01: This comes to us from an 8.5x11 sheet of paper I had stuffed into a three ring binder.  As with most of the rejected strips I’ll be posting, it’s not exactly genius.  Then again, Classic Sporkman never was. This was fully penciled and about 1/4 of the way inked, so apparently I thought it was “good enough” for a while before giving up.  Sharing the page with this strip is another four panels featuring nothing but script.  Since I’m not planning on actually drawing anything new for this series, don’t expect to actually see it anytime soon.  The script describes Sporkman on the run from a group of both pirates and ninjas.  The mob corners our hero somewhere, but suddenly can’t agree on how to kill him because the pirates can’t understand Japanese.  Hilarious. The page with these comics is undated, but I labeled it as being “#18/19.”  The numbers refer to my bizarre ordering system for Classic Sporkman, in which - after the first 25 “origin” strips - I started numbering the strips anew, because I considered the “one-shots” slightly different than the origin story that proceeded them. In any event, One-Shot #17 was “Choosing Wisely” with the Grail Knight, which dates these comics to January 2005.  Huzzah.  They were subsequently replaced by “Evil Acquaintances,” the three strips introducing Andie, which are officially the real #18-20 in my records.
