(Promo) Motherbot Connection

(Promo) Motherbot Connection

So I’m hard at work with a comics project for school, but rather than totally neglecting Bunny and Ravy I’m gonna post some little images from it. I like to change the format of my website at least 3 times per month. I hear it’s good for driving away as many people as possible… Anyway…

Motherbot Connection is the story of robots, robots with guns, and robots with Funk. Has to be at least 15 pages because otherwise I fail the class. May be more pages as the story demands it. More to come, but enjoy the images as they appear.

I wonder what Bunny’s job will be… I’m not being coy, I haven’t written it yet. I practice what I call “Guerrilla Comicing.”

Suggestions for Bunny’s career path are welcome and encouraged.

(Comic) Animal Relatives

What’s all the fuss with the Tiger Mom?

So she used her own system to game this country’s education system. She’s like those kids at MIT who figured out how to win at black jack, not a child abuser.

Colleges value test scores, grades and a few extra-curricular activities to pretend like they care about you as a person. So she pushed hard to make her kids good at those things. And now they’ll probably go to really good schools and make tons of money.

If you don’t like don’t complain at her, work on making a system that values individualism, creativity and self-expression. And do it fast so I can start getting paid to draw this strip.

(Comic) De-Icing

I’m thinking of replacing the windshield cleaner sprayers on my car with flamethrowers. Seems safe enough.

(Comic) Ravy’s Relationship Radvice

Before anyone complains, my girlfriend approved of and partially came up with this idea. Perhaps in the future Ravy will have some more Radvice for all of you.

(Comic) Thinking Laterally

Thought about posting this rotated horizontally to fit the normal web template, but I decided I wouldn’t do that without getting an endorsement from some chiropractic firm first.

I’m mostly happy with this one, some perspective on the building might’ve made the weird inset panel transition a little more obvious. Live n’ Learn.

I’ve checked with a team of trained overallogists, and that is the most incorrect way to wear a pair of overalls known to mankind. Anyone thinks they can do better, take a picture and send it to me. I’ll post it and you’ll live in infamy. Forever.

(Comic) …Sivilize Me, And I Can’t Stand It

(Comic) …Sivilize Me, And I Can’t Stand It

Somewhere in all of this is a really clever analogy about whitewashing history and whitewashing Aunt Polly’s fence. Were I only smart enough to know what it was.

This issue seems to come up every few years with Huck Finn. I truly don’t understand it. I get that it’s an offensive word. A word that shouldn’t be thrown around lightly. But it’s Mark Twain.

Even if you think the book’s anti-racism message doesn’t excuse Jim’s minstrel showyness, it’s still a book worth reading for precisely that reason. Talk about why the word was used then and why it shouldn’t be used now. Hiding the problems of the past makes them harder to learn from.

UPDATE: Fixed a spelling error in the comic. Who knew hypocrisy had an “i”?

UPDATE II: Apparently the WordPress iPad app screws up text formatting. Consider yourself warned if you’re one of my five readers and have an iPad and a WordPress blog.

(Comic) One Speedy Lawsuit

Ravy’s not a bad guy… he’s just crazy. For example, the gun isn’t loaded with real bullets. It’s full of jelly beans. And a 1968 Dodge Dart. I’ll stop now.
