Oldschool

All right! You’ve waited long enough! The comic I told you about ages ago is finally online!

So check it out right here.

…Oh my goodness. It is so boring and yet so incredibly silly. Also, as far as I know, it’s the very first comic Michael and I ever collaborated on. Three cheers for history, and thirty cheers for progress! I can now draw better than Michael could then. Haw~

Incidentally, does anyone want to hazard a guess about the true identity of the mutant pickle? :) I can’t decide if it’s totally obscure or totally obvious. The only way to find out is for you to tell me.

Speaking of using our dear readers as lab rats, there’s still time to enter the naming contest! Give it a shot for a chance to influence the comic and get an awesome sketch!

Thanks, everyone. See you Saturday. :)

CONTEST!

Hi, everyone!

I’m making a goal to update this space at least once a week, especially in the midweek while people are waiting for the new page to happen. So to start us off on the right foot, let’s have a contest!

Now that the Coben family has reappeared, it’s time for them to get some names. The teenage son’s name will be revealed soon, but the mother and daughters–to be honest, we don’t know! And, in the spirit of the beloved Narbonic, we’re curious to hear what our awesome readers can think up. Specifically, we need names for Mrs. Coben (whom we have mostly referred to in our own discussions as “Joddmom”); the older daughter with the pigtails (also known as “Jodddaughter,” “Joddling”, “Joddspawn”, etc.); and the younger, chubbier daughter (also known as “she looks like a kitten”).

So here’s the deal. Check out the entire family back on this page. Come up with some names–as many as you like–and post them in the comments here. The winner(s) will see their chosen names featured in the comic (eventually), and will receive a sketch of the people they named!

We’ll keep this contest running until Wednesday, September 1st. Good luck! Tell your friends! And thanks for reading! :D
