: Help me take a bite out of crime
Monday, August 29 2005


Let's recap:

-Digital games of the video medium are far superior to analog games of the cardboard/leather medium.

-2 screens are better than 1. Even if that ONE is incredibly big and pretty.

-I think I might have pink eye. Can you even GET pink eye at the age of 20? I sure don't know, but I do know what you CAN get right now! A look at the new mrbot logo!



In case you were wondering, that is a bitmap, not vectors. Maybe I'm just flattering myself.

: Color is for sissies
Sunday, August 21 2005


or maybe not...

I was thinking about things after finishing the latest comic (which is now up for your enjoyment/mockery). I would really like to do things in color BUT, it would mean I could only update once every two weeks. Actually I've been thinking about this for quite some time now. I just don't think it's fair to stall the story of Mrbot so much. However, I think if I can provide ANOTHER interesting update every other week, then a much better MrBot experience could be acceptable. As long as I can provide at least one update a week, I'm fine with that. If not, well I'll just have to keep doing things in black and white.

: Does 40 make you over the hill?
Sunday, August 14 2005


Wow. I really thought I was going to quote Motion City Soundtrack in my title again, but, I didn't.

Hey, did you enjoy my jars last week? I hope you did. There wasn't anything in them, but since when do you expect substance from empty lies? YOU EXPECT TOO MUCH! Speaking of which, continuing with tradition, this week's comic is NOT in color despite all your hate mail. Just to spite you, I spent hours upon hours coloring in this week's comic with meticulous detail, only to delete all the color when I was done and throw down this crap just for you.

Alright fine. I should be more appreciative. Anyone that sticks around for my story is alright with me. Except Steve. God I HATE STEVE!

: You are the driver-three-er!
Monday, August 8 2005


Man don't ask me about the title this week. Also don't ask me what order to read the panels either. You know what, just don't TALK to me in general, alright?

Oh yeah, you can blame another "late" update on the $1 for 2 weeks trial of City of Heroes. I'm not much of a PC gamer, but this game did ultimately force me to get a new video card. It's also quite a good game, but now that I can fly, my drive has all but diminished. I may actually get sucked into World of Warcraft now and NOBODY WANTS THAT. Well, I know SOMEONE does. OH, before I forget, here are some jars:

: I love Journey but I HATE baseball cards!
Monday, August 1 2005


I was thinking. Would you have anything against me making the comic with less panels? I mean how many of the same exact pose do you really need over and over again? I eliminated a panel this week because of that reason. I think things could look nicer and more time could be spent on detailed imagery with less panels. But don't worry, this doesn't mean less dialogue. I don't really write for 6 panels to begin with. I'll continue to try new visual approaches but the story will stay its course.
