Jeff and Casey Time

by Xaviar XerexesApril 28, 2013

I try to keep up with David Hellman‘s projects (co-creator of the webcomic A Lesson Is Learned But the Damage is Irreversible). He has been creating the animation for a very funny series of videos called Jeff and Casey Time. I’ve finished the first “book” which is a five episode arc where Jeff and Casey recount their day to their friend Brian. It’s absurdities piled on absurdities and I found myself laughing many times. Hellman’s painterly artwork is amazing — it’s not really fully animated, but it is really interesting to look at.

Strip Search Recap: Down to Seven

by Xaviar XerexesApril 23, 2013

Today’s episode was Maki versus Amy. Two good comics; only one really nails the ideas of Mermaid and Ukelele selected from the wastebasket of ideas. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf_aB1q103s?rel=0] Spoilers after the jump!

Accelerated

by Xaviar XerexesApril 22, 2013

I can’t figure out how to get Photoshop Elements 8 to scan in directly from my Epson V33 scanner. Weird! Manga Studio will scan in from it but this version of photoshop won’t. Technology advances but it often leaves simple functions behind. Weird… An idea for a story I noodled on earlier this year — a quick concept sketch I scanned in and started playing with in Manga Studio. It’s probably the wrong title for the story which is about time travel, at least in a sense. I’m not actually thinking of it as a comic but just a story. …

Archive Crawl: Spacetrawler by Christopher Baldwin

by Xaviar XerexesApril 20, 2013

I read Spacetrawler by Christopher Baldwin religiously for a year or so but it was another one I lost track of. It’s a great webcomic but one that might ultimately work better in longer bits. Baldwin delivers a great bite of the comic in each update but he’s also so good at working over the longer arc of his story that the deeper layers are very rewarding and it’s not something you want to read, having forgotten much of the details of the earlier bits. So – rereading from the start; hoping to catch up to current episodes very soon. …

LARP it up Fuzzball

by Xaviar XerexesApril 12, 2013

I have never LARP’d but it seems, in theory, like it might be possibly fun. Depending on the scenario and the people and how much coffee I’d had. If I could bend the rules like Francis in today’s PvP though, that might seal the deal for me: This made me think of a great couple of Angst Technology comics from Barry Smith about dressing up as Captain America for a Civil War enactment (a mix-up with Marvel’s Civil Wars comic book storyline). Sadly though I can’t find any actual website for Barry’s comics anymore so I’ll just link to the …
