Recepción a Otro Mundo

Okay, you caught me…I don’t actually own a mini-cactus, but if I did I’d totally place it next to my alarm clock to create these funny Full House-like situations (this is something Uncle Joey would totally do and you know it).

But yeah, somehow I’ve been oversleeping normal alarm clock and my cell phone alarm, which most people would compare to the sound of seven fire trucks all converging towards the same burning building. Huh, go figure. So, this works…for now, despite those rare mornings where I really have no idea where I am.

Also, feel free to correct my Spanish. I did what I could with it…

QUESTION OF THE DAY: How many alarms does it take to get a hobbit out of bed?

Does the couch pull out?
Are you kissed goodnight?
How is Memphis tonight?
I don’t believe that everybody’s lonely underneath it all.

Kermit and Scott Pilgrim are Total Look-alikes

It was all about the parka, really.

Speaking of Scott Pilgrim, I’m possibly going to be cosplaying as the leading lad for the upcoming New York Comic Con. So long as I can find a cheap parka to wear, that is. If not, I’ll just be a dude with an SP shirt and a lot of excitement, also known as a Scottaholic. Either works for me, really.

Question of the day: When did Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy get married (1984, 1988, 1996, 2001, or 2006)?

Let’s make a date out of the cinema
Then stay out until early in the morning
I always like it ’cause we take it slow
While everyone around us seems so hurried

Getting Accosted in a Parking Lot

He needs to work on his sales pitch a bit more, methinks. If only he’d been trying to sell me an Xbox 360 or a Boston terrier or a tuna sammich with black olives from his scary rape-van then I’d have been all like, “YES, I DO KNOW I WANT ONE OF THOSE THINGS!”

Question of the day: Have you ever been buttonholed like this before?

It’s not so bad being trendy
Everyone who looks like me is my friend
Please don’t hate me because I’m trendy
They’re not gonna laugh at me again

Back Pain Makes It Hard To Be Alive

Whether is was dorsalgia or lumbago, it sucked. I could barely move, and if I somehow did barely move…shrieking pain throughout my whole body. Fun times for all. Not shown in the above drawing, of course, is the actual amount of cursing I did at every twitch and twist. Sailors would’ve blushed.

But no worries. The pain subsided after two or three days, and luckily most of those were spent comfortably in my apartment where I could cuss and moan to my heart’s content.

I hope this isn’t what it’s like to be old. That’s going to suck. Any old farts wanna confirm this, hmm?

She drifts off to sleep
And in her dreams
She lives in California
In a mansion by the sea
Yeah, that’s who she could be

Playing Yahtzee Unearths An Old Note

For once, my memory is fuzzy. I remember having Yahtzee kept in my bedroom during my high school years, but I cannot for the life of me recall what made The Bitch and I fight. I guess she drew on me? ::shrugs:: Actually, I do recall now being more annoyed that she defaced our family’s boardgame than anything else. And now I must live with the mockery.

Anyways, two years ago on November 29, 2006, in a spout of craziness, I decided to start drawing a comic strip about my dull, little life. To celebrate this, I threw a party and welcomed all of those that took notice of such an achievement. A picture snapped during all the hullabaloo for proof:

Well you can come on to my place if you want to
You can do anything you want to do

Don’t Talk When Ben Bailey Talks, I Say

…oh, Ben Bailey, you crooner of quizzical questions, how I long to ride in your magical taxi!

Actually, when I showed Tara this comic she had no memory of me yelling at her. Go figure. This might be why we’re destined for great things, people. Well, this and many other thingies…

What’s black and white?
What’s read all over?

Some People Like to Shower Naked

Silly is as silly does…or something like that.

Question of the day: How do you shower?

It’s times like these
Where silence means everything
And no one is to know about this

A Twizzler Mystery of Sorts

Let me just clarify something here: I’m talking about red Twizzlers. Frak black licorice and all that it stands for!

Also, seeing as all I do is draw about myself (1) eating or (2) thinking about eating, I’ve decided to rename this whole thing I do here MyFoodComics. Catchy, ja?

Take me by the hand and tell me
You would take me anywhere
And it goes, it’s like a come on come on to me

E. ALL OF THEM

Now don’t think that your money’s gone
I’ll save some with you when I have some
We can hang out cheap and eat Ramen
Friendship first should be your motto

The Hardest Question Ever Asked, No

Forget whether I actually answered or not, but tell me, dear readers, what lesser of two evils would you have picked? In case you need a refresher, look at this:

Exactly. Aaaaaaand now you probably hate me. C’est la vie!

Anyways, in a bit of pimpage, I made a page on Facebook for MyLifeComics, so everyone please go and add it and officially mark yourself as a fan. Much appreciated! Here’s the artwork on that page too:

And baby, do everything your heart desires
