This One's for the Ladies

Posted by Bob on September 9, 2005: New comic is up. Things are resolved between Bob and Jessie. Or are they? Is it me, or is Jessie blushing a little bit on panel two? And I'll have you all know that this time, the shirtless Bob stuff was all Steve. He wrote it that way. Normally, I just throw it in there for the hell of it and get yelled at, but this time, I just worked with what I had. Besides, we all know the ladies love it.

So, as my posts have proven in the past, I love videos of William Shatner singing. They're fantastic in a train wreck type of way. If I see one linked somewhere, I have to click that motherfucker. No doubt about it. So, that being said, here's one of the best. He's a rock. Et. Man. Ah, I love it.

And here we have a video from CNN. I hate to have to link to it, cause it's CNN and all, but you have to hear what Wolf says. Listen to him near the end.

Speaking of disasters, I think this speaks for itself.

All right, lets create a punk song! There are options to make some decent things, but its also kinda fun to just hit random and see what the hell it creates for you.

Check this out. It's gotta be one of the best sucker punches I've seen in a while. The dude truly just eats it. I love how right before he gets smacked, he gets in his "fight pose." It's like watching a nature documentary. "Watch as the white trash asshole in the bitch beater keeps his arms away from his side to make himself appear larger and more intimidating. *Dude comes in, clocks him.* Sorry white trash, looks like your defensive technique didn't work this time."

Okay, then there's this. As the description says, "There's a nude patch out for World of Warcraft. That's right, the nerdiest thing you can do just got nerdier." Yeah, kinda sad. But, whenever there's a popular game out, of course someone makes these patches. I think what's worse is that they dance the macarena. Did they seriously program that into the game? I really hope not.

Have I ever mentioned that I just love it when newscasters fuck up? What's funny is that this is what I see them screw up the most- calling some sort of job a blowjob. I've seen it on the local news here, I've seen it online, I've seen it on the cable channels. What the hell goes on backstage during these newscasts that they can't get their minds off of head?

More CNN? YOU KNOW IT. This dude is probably in his thirties or forties, and he's about ten seconds away from laying on the floor pounding his hands and feet while yelling "LET ME TALK!" Sheesh.

And finally, I will leave you with this. I'm sure you've seen it by now, but man, everytime I see this it makes me laugh. Back in a week gang.

Posted by Steve on September 9, 2005: So yeah, the new comic is up, and shirtless Bob was actually in the script this time. Most of the striptease type stuff was Bob though. My original notes in the script were just "coat comes off, shirt comes off, tie comes off, flexing". As usual, anything visually humorous, it's a pretty good bet that Bob thought it up. I just write the dialogue.

Back when we first started this thing, about four comics in I mentioned to Bob that he kept drawing everything at the front counter of the store. He replied that it was because I kept writing them that way. I checked the script file and sure enough, he was right. The start of each script was "Bob and Steve, at the counter". I didn't even realize I was doing it. From then on, all directions in the script have been as vague as possible. Every once in awhile if there's a specific look or sight gag I have in mind, I'll note it, but usually it's just a line saying who's involved, then the dialogue. I figured this would do two things:

1) Obviously, my visual talent is poor at best. Bob's the artist, so he's bound to come up with better stuff to look at than I would. Left up to me, every comic would be a boring old "talking head comic", as Bob calls them. Visually boring, nothing to look at, just characters talking. You know, like a Kevin Smith movie. (just kidding)

2) When we first started, I figured this whole thing would last about a month before Bob was like "This is boring, I'm out." I figured this would only be accelerated if all he was doing was drawing everything exactly as I wrote it. So I started leaving everything vague in the hopes of squeezing a few more comics out of him.

And that's that. All that may or may not have been interesting to you, but it sure did fill up some space, didn't it? See you next week.
