This one is from the Teen Titans cartoon. Thanks, Beast Boy!

Yea, that pisses me off too

Screw this, I'm going back to drawing stick people.

Misread comment on a post.

What is your stance on... uh...

2008-10-08T16:37:00.000-07:00

All characters and events in this comic - even those based on real people - are entirely fictional. All celebrities are drawn poorly.

One of my favorite things to do is put my own captions with funny pictures. The picture below is from a box of EarPlanes, special ear plugs for people (like myself) who cannot seem to endure a plane landing without severe ear pain. Enjoy...

A slightly new take, on an old joke

2006-10-20T21:42:00.000-07:00

This character is named after a really terrible drink that you can get at Brian O'Neills. Or was it Bronx Bar? I don't know, since I wasn't dumb enough to order one. Too bad, assholes!

The sheep was too hard to draw in MS Paint, so I just stole it from internet.

Cube, Part II

2006-04-26T13:17:00.000-07:00

I had to cut a couple panels from this comic, to get it to fit into The Book of Light Cons - namely, the final panel where one of the sharks is complaining about debugging. Another segment featuring spear-throwing gorillas was discussed but never added, mostly due to the foreseen difficulty in drawing gorillas as stick-figures.

In case you missed it, the last panel is a reference to a sketch from Robot Chicken.

Gary and Jerry

2006-04-05T07:24:00.000-07:00

In case you missed it, this is a follow-up to the earlier "Harry & Jerry" comic.

I stole this one from Futurama

2006-04-04T07:26:00.000-07:00

Why do I do this? Because people need to laugh. At poorly drawn jokes.

Okay, so I was in a really foul mood when I first drew this comic up. Sue me.

Snakes on a Plane

2006-03-31T08:19:00.000-08:00

The sad thing is that I didn't even come up with this, I just stole it from a movie review on Something Awful.

Oh, that Sharky! Will he ever learn?

So a pirate walks into a bar, and the bartender says...

Nap Boy in "Out of Time"

2006-03-27T07:43:00.000-08:00

Alternate title: Nap Boy Goes to the Future
Trivia: The original version of this comic featured mutants and a UFO in the fourth panel.

The Adventures of the Over-Thinker

2006-03-24T12:47:00.000-08:00

This is basically a prequel to another comic that I had, unfortunately, not deemed worthy enough to save. Basically in that comic the Over-Thinker drops and breaks an irreplacable coffee mug. I wrote this comic to explore how a coffee mug could be irreplacable (in the original version of the comic, his girlfriend gives him a mug and not a shirt).

Sadly enough, the second-to-last panel is actually based on my own personal experiences.

2006-03-17T08:30:00.000-08:00

"Nap boy" is the nick-name that we (secretly) gave to one of the product managers at UCS. He used to sleep in his car everyday for an hour or two. I'm not making this up, he even tinted the windows so that no one could see him in there. We decided to draw comics about him where he was a big narcoleptic. The real story isn't nearly as humorous, because someone later told me that he's an alcoholic. Check, please!

Doctor's Office

2006-03-01T07:56:00.000-08:00

Well, he asked for it straight!
The original ending to this comic was that, in the last panel, the doctor says, "I'm getting paid a million dollars to kill you."

Harry & Jerry in "Violence"

2006-02-28T07:51:00.000-08:00

This is based on the old Harry & Jerry comics that bad Sid used to draw, back when we were in high school.

Sharky in "Car Trouble"

2006-02-27T07:50:00.000-08:00

This is not a scan, but rather a digital photo of a comic that someone else drew. As you can see, I started to edit the picture but then got too demoralized and quit. I'll save that project for a rainy day.

2006-01-11T11:09:00.000-08:00

This dialogue was written by a medical student; how ironic!
You may have also noticed that there is a direct quote from Sealab 2021 in the second-to-last panel.

Alcohol

2006-01-06T15:53:00.000-08:00

Hooray, another bartender joke that I didn't come up with!

Oh noes, I dont think I'm supposed to draw comics from work!!1

2005-12-12T09:35:00.000-08:00

So a crustacean walks into a bar, and the bartender says...

2005-12-03T09:57:00.000-08:00

Ah yes, this is the first comic that I've drawn specifically for this website.
Enjoy... or at least try to.

Sharky vs. The Over-thinker

2005-11-29T18:51:00.000-08:00

Sorry it took me so long to get this up... and that it turned out so crappy - Sharky is really hard to draw in MS Paint. I went to Best Buy on Sunday to buy a scanner, but they didn't have anything under $150. I like my comics, but not that much...

The Master of Small-Talk

2005-11-15T18:30:00.000-08:00

I got this idea when I was walking around the hall at my old job.
Really, the entire blog derives its name from this comic.

Maybe You Should Put Him in Custard-y

2005-11-14T19:33:00.000-08:00

The new guy could have said so many different things in the first panel, and the strip would've still made sense. If you don't get it, ask me about my old job sometime.

A Star is Born

2005-11-12T15:24:00.000-08:00

A co-worker at my old company drew the original version of this comic, based on an Eddie Izzard skit (from Circle). The Sharky character is very popular amongst my friends, and goes on to appear in many more comics by various artists (I use the last term loosely).
