Dregs #70

First of all, let me say that I never thought I would post more episodes than my original cartoon strip, The Science Project, which I was sure was going to be a hit. Most episodes of SP still make me laugh, where the others make me shake my head while I mutter to myself "what were you thinking?" Oh well, they're not all winners. But The Dregs is 70 episodes old and I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have.

This episode is a blend of another Pitt-ism and an idea I've have for some time. I don't know about you, but it drives me crazy when people say "no offense" before letting someone have it and saying something offensive. The same goes for, "I don't mean to sound like a jerk..." or "don't take this the wrong way...". After reading this episode, I think you can see how it fits. The "everything else does" joke is the Pitt-ism and is probably the funniest thing he's ever said, so it'd be a shame if I didn't use it.

Cheers!

Hey, everybody. I'm glad I've kept up my end of the bargain and made another episode of The Dregs before another 4 months had passed so I hope you don't get burned out have two episodes within a months of each other.

This episode's joke is from a fellow bartender of mine. I don't remember how it came up exactly, but he wasn't feeling well (from the last-night-flu aka a hangover) and asked I would mind if he went home early. I asked him if he was alright and he responded "Am I ok? You're the one who's melting." I told him to go home because that one line was the best he was going to do all day, and so I had to write it down. I hope you thought that was funny because the next one might be one of his too.

Also, I'm starting to feel like Seth Macfarlane (a one note song) with all the awkward pause panels, so I'm going to try to not use them so frequently.

Cheers.

Well, it's been about 4 months since my last confession. Errrr... I mean comic. In fact, it's been so long that I'd forgotten my password to the blog and how to upload the comic. I don't know what else to say other than that I'm embarrassed. But, it's good to be back.

This episode is different from the rest because it actually ended the same way it started - No changes. The only thing that was difficult, was that I had to use photoshop more than usual. I was an idiot and forgot which way Onions should be looking so I had to flip each of his frames. I also must have been excited and rushed to get it scanned and ready to load because I had to put in some of Onions' hair dots and a line in his hat. None of this is difficult, btw, even with my limited "knowledge" and even lesser "expertise". Despite my obvious limitations, I still like this episode and I hope you do too.

Cheers.
