Topical Comic Is Topical
February 6th, 2010The other day, my good pal Heccubus and I were talking about how awful Editorial Comics are. You know, the ones you find in Newspapers. If you think about it, they are. They’re probably the most ham-fisted, unfunny medium in all of cartooning. This conversation got me thinkin’, though, about my own comics. I don’t think it’s much of a secret how I don’t exactly embrace my older work with open arms. This is mostly because of how dang editorial they are. Personally, I like to blame this on the lethal combination of being a teenager AND being a fucking nerd when I drew them. Don’t get me wrong, there are a SELECT few that I think are awesome, but most of them are pretty kneejerk editorial and have not aged well.
So, we come to this week’s comic. A conversation between Myself, and Myself. From 2004. See, there are some highly topical news stories out there right now that Myself From 2004 would pounce all over, whilst Myself, at this stage of my life, wouldn’t touch with a 10-Foot Pole. And, seeing as I haven’t made an appearance in almost a full year, I figured, why not?
