Description Well, aren't I just a little bundle of productivity? GOD, I know it's been forever since my last comic, but time has been a harsh mistress to me lately. I'm all "Please baby, come back to me, I'm sorry about the other night, I was drinking and... well, you know how I can get." And time is all, "Naw Johnny, not this time. You've wasted me too many times before. And now that you need me you want me back? Go to hell!" And so on... Long story short, life's got me mad crazy busy.
Anyway, I'm re-visiting an premise I touched on a while back, but didn't have a chance to elaborate on... so HERE WE GO! Part one of the "SHOP TILL YOU DROP DEAD" Dead Days series!! It's gonna be a 5 (or 6) parter, all big 8 panelers! Fun stuff! Basically, this is just my excuse to make fun of the ladies and the men who follow them. But tis all in good fun!
So enjoy the new funnies! I'll work on this series every chance I get, but as I've asked before, bear with me! You'll get your comics eventually dammit! Man, I gotta find a way to get paid for doing these things... Hmmm... new book maybe? Part 2 coming as soon as possible! Thanks for reading!! Later!
-John

He'll understand soon enough...I must just be weird though,cause I'm female but I usually just grab something I think looks good and (appears) to be my size and I buy it...

There is only one thing that's worse than shopping with females. And that is shopping with males.

*sigh*

I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING
- we just got here
WE HAVE BEEN HERE FOR FIVE MINUTES!
- here, look at this, this is nice
NO, IT'S (insert something stupid)
- this one then (holds up something he has at home, and wears with no complaining)
NO, I DON'T LIKE IT!
- I give up
I'M HUNGRY! LET'S GO EAT.


I shop by myself.

this is briliant man, I could never pull off what you do. Anyways, ever think about doing a color (forgive me if you've already done one or a few, my memory isn't the greatest and no human could possibly expect me to remember everything you do although I'm sure it'd be flatering verging on psychotic).

ok, as long as you put in "The Man Chair" "his girlfriend calling him back to see her in some lingere and him walking into the wrong stall *enter fat old lady*

and of course him trying something on and his girlfriend going "is there enough room in the crotch" *memories of that one episode of wonder years*

EXCUSE ME!!! girls do not try on only exotic underwear while shopping!!! what kind of psychotic boyfirend's fantasy is that?!?!?!

we try on lots of things.... like super short mini skirts and way too tight pants and see-thru shirts and realie hot dresses and sexy 5-inch high heals....

shopping isnt all about buying... its about trying on the things you know youll never be able to buy.... (and occasionally buying one of those things anyway... tehe!)



by the way... YAY new comic!!! this oughta be good...

Ahh, I remember this. One of the last comic series I saw you doodling out in your sketchbook before we graduated. Wow, it has been awhile since you messed with this premise You lazy slob! Stay on top of these things! And now back to being lazy for me... Actually not really, I'm working on something in my backyard at the moment. When you stop working with it you forget how fun and easy paper mache is.

hehehe....hey man i was just wondering how you make your speech bubbles.....i know how to make them.....but how did you get that thin to thick outline?

deaddays In reply to shadowssurroundme [2004-09-06 07:14:21 +0000 UTC]

Wel to tell you the truth, it's kinda a hassle, but it's totally worth it. In photoshop, I make a oval around the words (this is the outer part of the ring, then using my mad eyeballing skills, I create another smaller, slightly off center circle inside of it holding the "deselect" key (you know, either Ctrl, or apple depending on the system). Then I just fill whatever's selected. Did that make sense? If not, tell me. I'll try again.
Oh, then you just make a little bubble arrow whatever way you see fit. I usually draw it with vectors to keep the thick and thin thing happening. Hope that helps.

Another great one, I mean what guy (Besides pathetically perennial singles like myself, who will remain nameless.) hasn't gone through this before? Legends say it can break even the strongest of men! I am slightly perturbed that the least crazy looking picture of his girlfriend the guy has still looks like she's about to transform into that monster from the "Honeycombs" commercials. Keep up the great work!

Um, I don't know whether to be offended by that comment or amazed at how well you know the way I think. But nah, no empty paneled blank stares in this series. I just went over the script and by my calculations, there is only ONE no dialogue panel in the rest of the series. Hmm, looks like I finally have something to say! Thanks for the great comment!
