Mint Condition

2010-02-03T20:33:00.005-06:00

Give credit where credit's due.

I didn't really ever want to drudge the comic into "real world" scenarios like making the characters get jobs and actually explaining what they do, but it would help the story so I deemed it necessary and hopefully put an entertaining/funny twist to it as well. Seriously, you gotta love the sheer enjoyment on Jimmy's face.

Oh, and for those of you who are new or at least haven't been around very long, this is the storyline Dave is referring to in the third panel.

And here's a bit of news for all you people who keep up with my custom action figure work. I'm planning a HUGE update sometime between now and Monday. Possibly tomorrow. At any rate I'll make an announcement about it Monday. I haven't updated the customs page in MONTHS, however I have been cranking out customs left and right. Mostly to sell on eBay or as commissions that were of characters I've done before. Anyway, the other day I took photos of all the customs I've done for the past however many months and will be posting them on the customs page within a few days. So for those who care...enjoy!

Speaking of toys and customs, I was surprised today when I went into Walmart to buy some G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra figures to use as custom fodder and despite the price tags all saying $5.00 they rang up $2.75!!! Holy balls in a slingshot Batman! I totally went back and bought up a lot more figures for my collection, and for custom fodder. Unfortunately, Walmart still won't mark down the vehicles. But I'm still waiting... Oh, and I don't think this is something happening to every Walmart in the U.S., so for those who are interested and live in the are it's the Walmart on Marketplace Dr. and Northwest Highway in Garland, Texas. Fun times.

And now to finish this damned book! Now that I've filed my taxes for the year I have more time to devote to it. So yay. That's about it for today. Don't forget to join me over on Articulated Discussion this Sunday for another "AD Mint Condition". Apparently The Articulated One was so pleased with the first batch of comics that he ordered 4 more from me. Yay! Until then (and until Monday). Oh, and don't forget to vote!. Thanks.

Mint Condition - Plot Progression!

Mint Condition on AD - The Origins of a Collector Revealed.

So now you all know where John is. Or at least where he's supposedly heading. I've been planning this for months, so I don't know if I can fully express my excitement that it's finally happening. I can only hope you all share in the excitement for where the story is heading.

In other news, Happy February! Yay...? There's Black History Month and Valentine's Day, but other than that not much. Except that since it's the first of the month, the ranks over on TopWebComics have been reset (nice segue, eh?). That means everyone starts fresh and it's a new month of voting! So do be a dear and head on over and cast your votes. Today, tomorrow, everyday if you feel like. I know I probably sound like a broken friggin' record with all the voting crap, but it really does help me and it means a lot to have your support. Without it, well...I'd be talking to nobody right now. Thank you all in advance for this. It means the world to me.

Now for the Obama speech. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. I've never watched an entire State of the Union address before, and it was awesome. He was kicking everyone's ass with his words and he was definitely taking names. I really liked how he specifically mentioned things that he wanted to accomplish within the year. Not just vague ramblings, but real, measurable plans. I can get behind this. I don't want to talk too long on this, just give you my two cents on the situation. I don't care if his popularity is dropping, my opinion on him really hasn't changed.

Well that's it for now. Join us Thursday for another comic. Until then folks.

2010-01-27T20:45:00.003-06:00

The plot thickens...

You know you were all just waiting for this to happen. I don't think there's any other way this part of the story could have ended. To find out what happens next, just keep reading.

Now I'd like to take this time to give an update of "the book". It's actually coming, I promise this. Admittedly I was very ambitious when I first announced it and severely underestimated just how hard it is to make a book and just how hard it is to balance this work with my regular comic work. However, I am still working diligently. Just ask Sarah, she'll tell you how annoyed she is with my near-sleepless nights working on the thing. But I truly think it will be worth it. If you haven't already, let me know your excitement, or lack thereof, for the upcoming book. Send an email, make a comment here or on the forum and let me know. I'd also like to take this time to thank everyone for continuing their voting for Mint Condition on TopWebComics. In just a couple of days the ranking for Mint Condition has jumped up tremendously. And if it weren't for all the readers out there it wouldn't have happened. So again thank you. I hope I can continue to have your support and I hope I can keep you laughing for a very long time.

Now if you'll excuse me, as of this writing I'm watching President Obama's state of the Union Address, so I gotta get back to it. Full comments on it on Monday. Follow me on Twitter for snippy joke comments later. Also, don't forget to check Articulated Discussion this Sunday evening for another installment of Mint Condition and until Thursday for another comic here!

Mint Condition - Hey look! Adam still has a job!

Mint Condition on AD - Venture Bros. action figures!!!

Seriously, it's been a while since I did a comic showing Adam at work. Thought I'd introduce his never-before-seen coworker Vegan Matt. Created for the sole purpose of this joke, and hopefully some more in the future if I can think of any. I really feel for Adam in this one. I mean, he did run out of milk at home for crying out loud.

So, in case you've missed me rambling about it either on here or on Twitter recently, last Thursday I went to see Eddie Izzard live. It was an AMAZING show to say the least. Everything about it was perfect (minus the $4.50 non free-refillable soda) and it was tons of fun.

Eddie Izzard is easily my favorite stand-up comedian. His comedy is is gold and delightfully irreverent. It's obvious his train of thought, while hilarious to us, makes complete and perfect sense to him. Hell, it makes sense to me, which is probably why I'm a fan. To hear him run off on tangents only to go back to what he was originally talking about 20 minutes later and then say "So yeah, all that's true" is fucking hysterical. He has boundless energy on stage and an excellent stage presence. He's like a child on stage, very laid back, but also really excited. It really makes you feel comfortable watching him while being stuck in a small seat.

He also brings up some good points in his show, such as one of his many arguments for the existence of evolution. Other than "follow the science" he talks about how the appendix is useless to humans. It's used for digesting grass, which humans don't eat. "Unless we USED TO" Izzard brings up. Then goes on to act out the appendixes frustration at being useless by "calling up" Intelligent Design and complaining about how he's going to explode if he doesn't have anything to do. "I want to be in the back of books..." he says. Very thought provoking, very hilarious, nigh perfect is what I'd call the show I went to. Thanks to Sarah for buying the tickets and getting great seats, and thanks to Eddie Izzard for giving me endless amounts of laughter and causing my throat and hands to hurt by the end of the show (in a non-sexual way I assure you). Although Eddie Izzard is my personal Jesus Christ.

Ok, I think I've spent too much of your time with these rantings. Suffice it to say Eddie Izzard's show was phenomenal. To anyone else who went, I hope you had as good a time as I did, and for those reading this who have never heard of Eddie Izzard, I hope this was informative and causes you to look up his stuff. You won't be dissapointed. Until Thursday.

2010-01-20T21:44:00.005-06:00

Am I the only one who's actually done this before?

Just to let you know, the next couple of comics will be Adam-centric. Don't know why, just had some good ideas that I thought I would feature Adam in. So enjoy. I broke down and bought the G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra Pit playset last night. It was $65 at Walmart (and that's the clearance price). I was gonna wait until it got cheaper, but they're starting to disappear, even at 65 bucks so I figured why not? If I see one cheaper later, I can always return the one I have...I haven't opened it yet though. I'm sort of intimidated by it...I've heard stories of it taking up to 5 hours to build and apply all the stickers/decals and I don't know if I have that much time right now. Maybe later, haha. I'll let you know what I really think of it when I get it done.

Other than that there's not much else to say today. As usual, my thanks go out to all who keep voting for me on TopWebComics. Your continued support means the world to me. And now, let me leave you with yet another animated panel from one of my comics. You should probably expect more of these in the future. They're fun to make!

2010-01-17T23:12:00.004-06:00

Mint Condition: They're really just his Garbage Pail Kids cards.

Mint Condition on Articulated Discussion: I like to think he does this sort of thing all the time.

Yep, it's really happening...Nathan is having another kid. At this point it's becoming a hobby...I'm not sure how I feel about doing a sort of story-within-a-story since this is taking place in "The Trek of John" (working title), but I think I better get used to it...so should you. I'm kinda just going every which way for a while. Why? because it suits me. Hope you're enjoying the ride so far.

In other news, if you haven't noticed, there's a link to the second comic I've done being featured on Articulated Discussion. If you missed the first one, go here. In other really geeky toy news, I got a huge haul the other day at Kohl's of all places. They have their G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra products marked down by 70%, so I pciked up a couple of figure for about 3 bucks a piece (for customizing purposes) and I picked up a Cobra Gunship and an Ice Dagger for about 10 bucks each (original price was about 30 bucks) so I'm feeling very accomplished...someone let me know if they find a Rise of Cobra Pit playset on clearance anywhere. The lowest I've seen it is 65 bucks at Walmart. I'm hoping for lower to be quite honest... That's about it for today. Join us Thursday for another comic. Oh, and another thing happening this Thursday is I get to go see Eddie Izzard live!!! It was Sarah's anniversary present to me...I'm so excited. He's my favorite stand-up comedian. Ok, that's all. Until Thursday.

2010-01-13T20:34:00.002-06:00

Seriously...this is really happening.

More site updates!!! Well, a minor site update anyway. In my ever-growing attempt to get more votes, in addition to the TopWebComics ranking to the right of the comic, I've also added a handy "vote" button on the comic navigation bar right above and right below the comic. Ya know, just in case the point has driven home enough yet...Sorry to annoy with all the voting talk, I'm just really aggressively acting upon this and it means a lot to me, so each and every one of your votes count.

In other news, my inaugural comic over on Articulated Discussion seems to be a success! Thanks to everyone who read the comic, and especially thanks to those who enjoyed it and commented. The Articulated One seems to be pleased with the success as well, so look forward to a new Mint Condition on AD this Sunday evening! Of course if you miss it I'll be linking to it on Monday's news post, so no worries there. I'm still getting into the swing of things with balancing 3 comics a week on two different sites that involve the same characters, but I think I can handle it.

As for today's comic, I actually think this is kind of cool. I've never watched UFC before, but seeing him in the show may make me watch, if only just to see him kicking ass for real. Also, think about the possibilities of him being a UFC fighter...he could be a character in the next UFC video game...hopefully customizable. Plus, with the new UFC toy line, he could have his own action figure! His first action figure NOT as a power ranger! Think of the customizing possibilities!!! Wait, is that just me? Well, what can I say? Power Rangers ruled my life when I was a kid, I can't help but think of these types of things.

That's about it for today. Join me over on Articulated Discussion this Sunday, and join me right here next Monday for a brand new comic. Until Then, everybody.

2010-01-11T01:14:00.005-06:00

You'll be seeing a lot of him, so get used to it.

Mint Condition@Articulated Discussion: SHOOT HER!!!

If you're wondering what that second link is up there, it's something new I'm doing. Remember my interview on Articulated Discussion? Well, I was asked by the owner of the website (known only as "The Articulated One") to do an exclusive weekly comic for AD featuring the Mint Condition in toy-specific comics.

Thrilled at the opportunity, I heartily agreed and there ya go. This is a new feature, so for now it's only guaranteed that there will be 4 comics. That fills up the rest of this month. If it does well on his site, it will become a permanent feature on AD and will update every Sunday. So for those of you wanting more Mint Condition goodness, look for a new comic every Monday and Thursday here, and a new comic every Sunday on Articulated Discussion. The format will be a newspaper strip style, which is very different for me, but a lot of fun! I think the extra geeky readers out there will especially appreciate the jokes in the AD comics.

As for the comic today, like I said before, you will be seeing plenty of the "dummy John" (not to be confused with the real John [also a dummy]) in the coming weeks. It's amazing how easily the others fall for it. They're either really dumb, or they really don't pay very much attention to John. I leave it open to your interpretation. For those frustrated at not knowing John's whereabouts, cheer up with a dancing Dave face!.

Until Thursday.

A cookie goes to anyone who can name all 3 movie references in this comic.

Sherlock Holmes was a really good movie. It was action packed and had me guessing until the end. The mystery itself was just about impossible to solve before the end though, but the relationship between Holmes and Watson alone is enough to love this movie. They're like bickering brothers most of the time. This is something I can relate to having a younger brother of my own. I loved it. Can't wait for a sequel.

I'd like to take this time to thank everybody who has voted for Mint Condition over on TopWebComics. All your support means so much to me and makes it entirely worth it to do this comic. You're welcome to vote for the comic any time you want...as long as it's once every 24 hours anyway. So feel free to keep showing your support. I've gotten a lot more visits because of your help. Thank you all!!!

Now in comic news...if you haven't noticed by now, the comic is bigger now. It used to be 650 pixels wide, but now it's 700 pixels wide, and almost 1000 pixels tall. The comic has been the same width since I first started. It's a new year and I decided it was time for a change. Plus, when I was making this comic I thought the words were too tiny so I knew it was time to implement my size change. At this size, the comic seems to fit better in the site in my opinion. I hope you all think so too. Oh, and the previous comics will remain unaffected so you don't have to worry about this messing them up. Expect more changes throughout the year though.

In geek news, I was in a good mood last night and noticed Walmart had the G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra Night Raven toy on sale for 19 bucks. I had to buy it. And I did. And it's loads of fun. The Air Viper figure it comes with is OK, but the hip joints are really messed up. I'm definitely going to replace this. And the wheels DON'T WORK. The only real complaint I have with it though. I'll put on custom wheels that actually roll. The lights and sounds and the "gun" feature is cool too. It comes with a pull-down handle+trigger to fire the missiles and it makes it easier to hold when making it "fly". Again...I'm a geek..

And speaking of action figures, the awesome Dr. Nightmare over at Articulated Discussion wanted to do an interview with me about Mint Condition, my custom action figures, and my thoughts on action figures in general. Be sure to check it out. It was a lot of fun. That's about it for today. Come back Monday where our regularly scheduled story continues. Until then.

2010-01-04T04:44:00.005-06:00

You know you've all thought of it before.

So, happy New Year everyone! It's 2010 and so far the year is looking good. Granted, it started like...4 days ago, but still. I'm having a pretty good year so far. How about you?

I know this current comic has nothing to do with the current storyline, and just to warn you neither will Thursday's. I was just feeling like this storyline was starting to drag a little and weighing down a lot so I decided to take a break and just so some random funny jokes. The Alternate Superhero/Villain Career Choices seem to be fan favorites, so I'll keep doing them sporadically (i.e. when I can think of them). This little break also feels to me like something of a "season break" if you will. If you think of the comic as a television show, last Thursday's comic was the "season finale" so this is sort of a break. Am I ranting enough about this? Thought so...

Now onto other things. I need a favor from all of you out there. If you haven't noticed already, there is a link to the right of the comic right under the ad that says "Vote for Mint Condition on TopWebComics!". If you haven't already wondered about it, or haven't clicked on it yet, please do. I'm looking to increase my ranking on the website Top Webcomics.

If you click on the link near the top, or just click here it will take you right to the voting page for my comic. You don't have to register to the site to vote, just click the vote button. Every vote helps. If I can raise my ranking on the site it will help gain exposure for Mint Condition, and that's what counts. So if you could spare a few seconds today, tomorrow, or whenever (you can vote every 24 hours per computer network) it would mean a lot. I'd like to thank everyone in advance who participates in this for me. Until Thursday.

2009-12-30T23:52:00.005-06:00

Yep, it's true.

Now the recent comics all make sense. It's something I've felt coming for a while now, and finally thought it was time to bring it to fruition. John's leaving. But it's not as simple as him just not being in the comic for a while. I have very specific plans for him and hopefully you'll all think the ride is as fun as it will be for me to set it up. Things are going to happen. Big things. Big story-arc related things. I'm very excited about 2010. Not only is it a new year, but I've just got so many plans for Mint Condition that I can't wait for everything to happen. Here's hoping you all share in the excitement.

So I hope you all enjoyed 2009 for Mint Condition. I hope everyone has a happy (and safe) New Year and that's all for now. Until Monday (and until the year 2010!!!)

2009-12-28T00:55:00.001-06:00

Cue the rimshot.

So...this past weekend...wow. I have to tell you, this comic almost didn't even make it. First of all, this past Thursday was mine and Sarah's one year anniversary. On that day I felt like Death's bowel movement. I got no work done the entire day. Oh, and our desktop (the computer I use to make the comics) got a serious virus. I won't name it, out of fear of it showing up again (like Candyman or Beetlejuice), but suffice it to say it SUCKED. So even if I hadn't been sick I still couldn't have gotten any work done, because the damned PC was infected.

I felt a little better on Friday, but it was Christmas and I spent the whole day at Sarah's mom's place. I got a little work done that night, but not much. However, with Sarah's help, I got rid of the computer virus. I had to dig into the darkest regions of my computer and manually delete every file, directory, etc. associated with the virus in order to erradicate it. And erradicate it I did. Naturally I was very happy.

Saturday was better. I had a sore throat, but I managed to finish today's comic in Photoshop! So that's a plus. Oh, and I recieved my prize for the Calamities of Nature guest strip I did. I got a copy of his book which is the first collected volume of his strips on his site. It's good stuff. And he signed and doodled inside the book for me. Hilarious. So another plus that day.

Now on Sunday things were looking up. I got a new book, and the comic was all finished. BUT...trying to upload it was another story. I thought Comicgenesis was having a problem with my "new method" for updating the comic, but as it turns out I'm an idiot. I messed up the template for my site's main page the other day and didn't even notice it. So I fixed it, but jeez it's just another thing on top of everything else this weekend...oy.

As you can see by this longwinded post (if you've even read this far), my weekend was anything but eventless. It's truly a miracle that you even got to read this comic today. I had to overcome a lot of hurdles in the past few days, but it feels so worth it. So...until Thursday.

2009-12-23T22:53:00.006-06:00

An enlightening look into their relationship.

So if you haven't noticed by now, there are a few changes I've made to the site. first off, I've added some advertising slots into the design. I'm just trying to earn more profits through Project Wonderful so I can continue advertising on other peoples' sites. All the profits I have in my Project Wonderful account go straight to putting ads for my comic out there more. I don't know how long it will take for there to be ads, so just bear with the placeholders for now.

You'll also notice I've changed the banner directly under the comic. I'm trying to gain more attention toward the other artistic efforts of this site, Mint Condition Customs. So there will be an ad for MC Customs under the comic from now on with an eBay widget so people can see all the custom figures I put up for auction there. And from now on, directly to the left of this there will be another ad showing off my latest financial efforts towards Mint Condition.

So sorry that today's update had to be all about friggin' ads. Sometimes you have to be a business man even if you're an artist. I hope you don't find any of these changes to be a distraction from the comic and you continue reading and enjoying it. Have a great Holiday tomorrow (whatever it may be to you) and have a good weekend. Until Monday.

2009-12-20T22:48:00.009-06:00

The downside to having male friends.

So did you know it's hard to make a book? Seriously. I knew it would be a challenge, but Jezzass. There's different formats, and formats for the formats...it makes my brain hurt. And not in the good "Kevin Smith just made a bestiality joke" kind of way, but the bad "Oh God it's another Uwe Boll film" way. But it is being made.

So if you haven't already, mouse over the comic for today. Notice something? That's right...alt description. It's something I'm trying out. I'm using a different method for updating the comic. If you haven't noticed before, if you ever tried to directly link to a comic from my archive (i.e. the actual IMAGE) you can't. ComicGenesis has an anti-hotlinking policy for their images that are uploaded to the root directories of their servers. So I kinda hacked around it with some clever html and uploading the actual comic image into a different directory...long story short: You can link the comic images now. Plus...ALT DESCRIPTIONS!!! Wow...that was a mouthful. Anyone who doesn't know or care about how websites get made just had a coma reading that I'm sure...Oh and I'm really excited, because I have plans for the comic and this storyline (sort of continued from "The Artist's Worst Nightmare") is going somewhere BIG. Like...HUGE. I'm actually writing out scripts for the comics before drawing them. This is something I don't normally do. So you know it's big.

That's it for now everyone. Hope you're enjoying where the comic is going, and don't be afraid to post comments! I like to read stuff!!! Until Thursday.

2009-12-18T10:02:00.004-06:00

Whoa, a Friday update?!?!

yeah, I'm doing a quick update today. I just wanted to let you all know that I did a guest strip for the hilarious Webcomic Calamities of Nature by Tony Piro, and it's up today. If you've never read his comic you should. It's very funny, and most of the time very insightful and philosophical. I had a lot of fun doing the guest strip, but it was also a lot of work. I really wanted to go all out for it, since it's the first guest strip I've ever done for anybody. So if you get a chance today, go check it out.

That's it for now. Until Monday.

2009-12-17T02:06:00.002-06:00

Yes, that's really how I feel about it.

So lots of things to talk about today...well, maybe not a whole lot, BUT I have made a lot of progress with the Mint Condition: Vol. 1 book!!! So far it's turning out better than I could have hoped, albeit a little slower than I would have hoped, but that's what happens when a first-time book designer tries to...design a book for the first time.

So I probably won't have it ready by next week (read: I won't have it ready by Christmas), but that's not to say it won't be ready soon after that. I would love to have it finished right now, but life and work keep getting in the way. So, I will have it finished as quickly as I can and into each of your hands. What I can tell you right about it is that before I launch it for sale I will be offering a limited quantity preorder. Everyone who preorders the book will recieve the copy signed by me with a personalization sketch on the title page! So, if you're into that sort of thing, then yay!

That's about it for now. Perhaps sometime soon I will show you the cover. But you have to be good! Until Monday, folks!

2009-12-14T03:09:00.002-06:00

Fin.

So I'm thinking of selling high quality prints of my latest painting, "Homage", but only if I can gain enough interest first. If you'd like to own a print of this, let me know, either with email, or with comments on here or on the forum.

In other news, last night's Venture Bros. 4.1 season finale was amazing. The second half of season 4 is supposed to air sometime next Spring. Sucks to have to wait that long, but it will be totally worth it. For those of you who don't know what The Venture Bros. is, you've got homework to do.

Hope you enjoyed this wacky trip into the dreams of an artist. Until Thursday.

2009-12-10T01:37:00.009-06:00

Let's see if he haunts me now.

So ever since I started the wallpapers page, I seem to be on a bender, because I recently completed the fourth wallpaper in the section. If you haven't already seen it, here it is:

You can go here to find all the resolutions to choose from. If you didn't already know, the painting is based off of the last panel of this comic, which in turned was based off the famous painting from Rocky 3. I'm really proud of my latest painting. It turned out MUCH better than I expected it too, and now I give it to all of you for enjoyment and making your dekstop look mathematically 36% more awesome.

That's about it for now. Until Monday.

2009-12-06T22:44:00.003-06:00

The artist's worst nightmare continues.

First of all I'd like to point out that if you missed it, on Friday the Webcomics Imitating Art feature article went live on the Dallas Art News website. Scroll about halfway through the page and you'll find my piece. The MC cast in the same poses as Da Vinci's Last Supper. Also, look at the other pieces too. There's a lot of good ones.

Speaking of my art for the Dallas Art News, it's also available as a wallpaper! There are also two other wallpapers currently available to download for your desktop. I think I got most of the major screen resolutions. Oh, also, there's a wallpapers page!!!! GAH!!!! Just click on Extras at the top to get to it. Geez, I don't know why that excites me so much. It just seems like a long time coming and something I should have done a long time ago, but I was always just busy with...ya know...the comic...but no longer. I'm actually working on a fourth wallpaper that hopefully will be finished sometime this week if I can find time.

So to recap, I'm honored to have been a part of such a great article, and...WALLPAPERS!!! GAH!!! Until Thursday.

2009-12-03T02:59:00.002-06:00

I've been having trouble with fleshing out a new storyline idea I have. This is how I plan to resolve it.

Let me tell you folks, the Holidays are here with a Vengeance...I can feel it. You know when those times approach. All you want to do is lay back and relax and snuggle up with someone special...but you have all this crap to do first. You can actually feel your body slowing down. I swear, as I type this, I'm going in slow-motion. Although, it could be the sleep deprivation causing halluciantions. I'm not really sure where I'm going with this...I think I need an assistant. Or just someone to help with all the Webmaster and html stuff that I hate dealing with.

Alright folks, that's it for now. I'm off to bed. Until Monday.

2009-11-30T02:04:00.003-06:00

Batman comics are always funny.

So first off today, I'd like to send a huge thanks to @Liz_Enthusiasm on Twitter (and on the MC forums) for donating a webcam to me. Later that day, Sarah bought me a mic for the computer, and also later that day I downloaded VH Multi-Cam. With these three things combined, I can have my very own Ustream show!!! That's right, coming soon (after some testing) I will have my very own broadcast on Ustream called Mint Condition TV. It probably won't have a schedule at first other than random, but it will be me working live on the comic or any other artsy stuff. You'll be able to see what I'm doing in Photoshop in real time thanks to VH Multi-Cam, and I can switch to Webcam view and I can answer any questions or respond to any comments you guys may have via chat room on my Ustream page. It should be a lot of fun, so if you're interested then be on the lookout for it. I'll update its progress here. Oh, and don't forget to tell your friends to tune in!

Now I just need to figure out Ustream. Until Thursday.

2009-11-25T23:48:00.010-06:00

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! I don't have a whole lot to say today. As far as Ultimate Gandhi and awesome things are concerned, in the holiday spirit I give you the first ever official Mint Condition wallpaper! I think I have all the major screen resolutions out there.

800X600
1024X768
1280X1024
1600X1200

That's all for now. I'm off to stuff my face and spend time with my family and 11 month old nephew whom I haven't seen in months. Until Monday.

2009-11-23T10:07:00.002-06:00

Yes Adam is wearing a beanie.

It's astounding how much this comic is actually about me...any of my friends can attest to the fact that pretty much all I do is sit around and draw. I don't like to go out too much, because I could miss out on some good drawing time. It's true. I mean I try to have a social life, but how can I go out when staying at home and trying out my new non-photo blue pencils is just so damned tempting?! Ok, on to serious stuff. Remember when I said I would have those prints up for sale? Yeah, I'm still working on that. up to date I've been using Cafe Press and other various outside websites to handle my merch, but the prints I got made myself so I'm going to sell them directly through a checkout cart system on my site. Problem is, I don't exactly know how to set up up...hrm...so when I figure that out they will be up for sale. It's just a few prints left over from the Dallas Webcomics Expo.

Other than that, not much to report today. So...until Thursday.

2009-11-19T12:34:00.003-06:00

"The president of the United States is dead. He was murdered in the morning sunlight by a four-year-old boy..." Welcome to J.C. Hutchins' SF thriller 7th Son: Descent, a novel set in present day featuring human cloning, dangerous technologies, and "beyond Top Secret" government conspiracies. I'm letting everyone know about an exciting publication that started as an online podcast, and now is being sold in stores everywhere. And whats more amazing than a fellow internet creator bringing his works from the free digital format to the printed page, is that he's still publishing everything for free online. If you want to check this out, listen to the book for free, read it for free, or even buy the book, check out his site over here: JCHutchins.net.

I really am looking forward to the show. In all seriousness, I think it's really awesome that Seagal has been doing this for over 20 years. He's been helping out the police in the area with hand to hand and firearm combat techniques. And now we get to watch him as a police officer. FOR REAL. It's easy to make fun of Steven Seagal, but I think that's pretty awesome. However, Chin Fights would still be much better.

In other news, on December 3rd, I'm going to be featured in an article on Dallas Art News. The article will have 11 other webcartoonists create one image imitating a famous piece of art with their own art style and characters. I'm really excited about this. You can read the full article here.

That's about it for now. Until Monday everyone.

Recap of DWEX '09.

So yeah, the Dallas Webcomics Expo was a ton of fun, especially for a first year Con. They had about 100 people show up, which was their goal, so it looks like there will be another Expo next year! Yay. I talked to a lot of people, handed out a lot of cards/flyers to a lot of people, including some artists as well. I couldn't have done it without the help of Sarah and Jimmy. Seriously, they helped me out a lot. Thanks guys. Oh and happy birthday to Sarah!!! Actually, her birthday was yesterday, but I don't make a post then, so...yeah. Wish her a happy belated birthday. I have some stuff left over that I will be selling on the site, so look out for that. Oh, and I got some doodling done. I managed to belt this out that will become the very first Mint Condition downloadable wallpaper in the near future. Also might become a limited print.

That's about it for today. Thanks to everyone who came out to DWEX this year. Because of you, there will be a DWEX '10. Awesome. Until Thursday.

2009-11-12T10:15:00.004-06:00

New clothes for Jacqi.

So again I miss a news update for Monday. Again, sorry. Been preparing for the Webcomics Expo which will be this Saturday from 11am to 6pm at the Southfork Hotel in Plano, TX. Address is 1600 N Central Expy Plano, TX 75074-5798 phone number (972) 578-8555. Only 5 bucks a person to get in.

I'll of course be there. I'll be signing stuff, taking commissioned art requests, I'll be selling prints of several comics, including this one and this one, and I'll be selling several custom action figures, many of which I haven't even posted yet, but will later in the day. I'll be at (table #26). Also joining me that day will be my lovely girlfriend Sarah, and the real life counterpart to Jimmy and Nathan!!! We will all be your performing monkeys for the day.

I can't wait. This Saturday is going to be great, I can tell. Until then everyone, and as always, until Monday (news post then too, I promise!!!).

2009-11-04T21:37:00.006-06:00

I love the way panel 4 turned out. So I know I missed a news update for Monday. Sorry. I've been super busy with getting everything ready for the Webcomics Expo. Speaking of, it took 'em a while, but they finally sent me a digital floorplan of the event, complete with what table I'll be at (table #26). Click on the image below for an expanded view:

I'm really excited for this event. I can't wait. I know I won't be able to see all of you, since many of you don't live anywhere near Texas, but I at least hope to see some of you! Until Monday.

2009-10-29T01:29:00.004-05:00

If it's Halloween... So...big news today. I couldn't mention it before, because there was no confirmation, but I will officially be attending a convention as a guest!

What's the convention you ask? Why it's the Dallas Webcomics Expo. It's the first one of its kind in the area. Lots of local big name Webcartoonists will be there, including Scott Kurtz and Rob Denbleyker. Honestly I didn't know so many awesome artists lived so close to me...this will definitely be fun.

As I said before, this will be Mint Condition's first con attendance as a guest. I'll have my own table and I will be selling stuff, such as prints, maybe some tees, possibly some sample comic books before the official big book comes out, commissioned art, and some custom action figures. I haven't gotten a table assignment yet, but when I do I'll let everyone know.

Anyone who can come should. It's Saturday November 14th, at the Southfork Hotel in Plano from 11 AM - 6 PM. It's only 5 bucks to get in and it seems to be shaping up into a really fun event. Come there, show your support, come by my table and say hi (I'll have my own cardboard standie with my name, logo, etc.), and if you feel gracious enough buy stuff.

Can't wait to see everyone there. Oh yeah, and bring Diet Coke to sooth me. If you come bearing Diet Coke and peppermints I will know you mean no harm. Until Monday.

2009-10-26T10:41:00.003-05:00

Hey, look at that, the comic is updated on time. Woot.

So I was supposed to have new products with a new design ready by today, but certain things have kept it from being completed quite yet. So I'll keep working on it to get things expedited and they will be ready by Thursday at the LATEST, but more than likely it will be ready later today. So be sure to check back.

EDIT: The new shirt design is now up. You can view it by going to the store and scrolling to the bottom, or by clicking on that big ass ad under the comic. Either way it will take you here.

Enjoy some awesomeness, just in time for Halloween! Show your Mint Condition Zombie spirit!

Until Thursday.

2009-10-22T15:33:00.002-05:00

Late, but here it is.

Sorry for that...read the below news post to find out why it's late. But at least it's up on THURSDAY...ha. I woke up at 11:30 AM and started working and didn't stop until around 3:30 PM. I wish I woke up earlier, but I haven't gotten much sleep the past few days so it was actually nice.

Oh, and I'll be unveiling a new shirt design either later today or tomorrow, so check back. I think you'll all like it. It's just in time for the Halloween season, so check back soon!

Until Monday...I promise.

2009-10-22T00:54:00.002-05:00

So yeah, if you couldn't tell, today's comic is the same as Monday's...that's because today's comic isn't finished yet.

Yesterday was...well, let's say it was rough to say the least. I didn't get the comic finished on time, and I was so exhausted and burned out I decided it would be better to get some sleep and finish it in the morning than to post the unfinished, half-assed work that it is right now and call it a completed comic.

The new comic for today will be up later...today. For all of you reading this on the other side of the world, it's already tomorrow for you so it will be up yesterday...or today. Or tomorrow. I don't really know that works.

Until...later today.

2009-10-19T05:25:00.003-05:00

Five...thirty...in the morning...really...need...to get organized...

I don't want to say too much about the current storyline until it's over, but suffice it to say yes, it's back..

And look, an old friend returns. This should be interesting. I had a lot of fun doing this comic. I mean look at that serious head wound...no reference shot for that. All from pure gorey memory...I think I need help...but yeah, that's about all I'll say for this comic.

If this leaves some of you confused, then I've done my job. All will be revealed soon. Until Monday.

2009-10-12T04:25:00.000-05:00

It feels strange, yet familiar, going back to the ol' art style. Still, it feels sort of refreshed, and I feel like I'm already bringing new things to it.

I tried something new with the background. I'm trying to make it feel more organic with the comic, so I did a rough outline sketch and painted in the detail behind it in a sort of blurred effect. Not sure if it's too effective, seeing as it's in grayscale, but I think you get the jist of it. I'll be trying out different things with the backgrounds from now on, since I'm weak in that. I want to get better at drawing and rendering backgrounds. Tips, advice, or whatever would be appreciated from anyone out there whose forte is backgrounds and landscapes.

Oh yeah, and the weather really is that wacky right now...it's so annoying. Make up your MIND. I like the cold. Give me that. Not "freezing cold at night, then burning up the next morning". I can't deal with that. Stupid weather...oh well. Until Thursday.

2009-10-08T02:28:00.003-05:00

As I promised, a real comic for today. However, if you couldn't tell, it's in yet another experimental art style.

But I think I'm going back to the good ol' Mint Condition art style for Monday. I've had enough experimenting. I just needed something new to do, you know? I think it happens to every artist, where they just strive to do something different and just get it out of their system. Believe me, doing this comic, in such an unfamiliar art style to me, got my experimental phase completely out of my system. And now hopefully when I go back to the old art style I'll be refreshed and even bring in some new aspects to the art style. It took me a while to get this down the way I wanted, but I was determined to do so. Whether it's good or not is up to you to decide. Thanks to my girlfriend Sarah for giving me the idea for this joke.

Until Monday everybody.

2009-10-05T04:54:00.002-05:00

Update. Thy name is cover. Or something. I dunno. I'm writing this REALLY early in the morning as the time stamp at the bottom will indicate, so this post may not make too much sense.

Chrysanthemum.

But I digress. Yes the book is coming along. I don't have an official release date yet, and I won't just throw one out there, but rest assured that it will definitely come out before December. I know that December seems far away, and it's like "Huh? December???" but trust me...that time will go by fast. So yeah, the book will be out before the Holidays. Oh, and that Pixelated blur at the bottom IS the title of the book. But you'll have to wait to know what that is. Tee-hee.

Let's see, any more updates...hmm...oh yeah, my hand. Still not fully healed. Almost there. I think. Those stitches inside need to dissolve so I can use my finger again. I play the guitar ya know, so this sucks. Hell, the other day I hurt my finger playing AIR GUITAR. You know my hand is messed up.

That's about it for now. There will be an actual comic for Thursday. I just wanted to keep you guys updated. That, and I got REALLY backed up this weekend, so I apologize. Comic on Thursday. Promise. Until then.

Zanzibar.

2009-10-01T04:13:00.000-05:00

So, as I promised, I'm still in the experimentation mood with today's comic. It's all to help me get back to my usual 100% drawing ability...which is like...what...35%-48% of what real cartoonists can do? Kidding. Kinda.

So yeah, I had actually planned to do today's comic completely left-handed, proving to myself and everyone that my left hand (gimpy hand) had fully healed...I tried it, and after much face-grimacing I realized I couldn't. It hurt. My hand isn't fully healed. The stitches are gone, but the wound still needs to finish sealing at the top, so the edges are being held together by bandages right now. Also, the stitches inside my finger haven't dissolved yet, so I still am unable to bend my finger...without pain I mean. So yeah...not the most fun of times. But I will submit this promise to everyone reading this. You 5 know who you are...I WILL do a full comic complete with my left hand and I will work on for however long it takes until I'm happy with how it turns out.

Whether or not anyone actually likes it is still up in the air...we'll see about that.

Until Monday.

P.S. I want the new Dethklok album. I want it sooo bad.

2009-09-28T04:33:00.000-05:00

So as you can see, I did something differen't with today's comic.

This is because as part of my self-prescribed "hand therapy" I'm forcing myself to do something visually different with this week's comics. The art style in this comic is different than I'm used to and it's because it's something I've been wanting to do. This isn't a permanent change mind you, but I love experimenting and hope that you'll all want to join in. So come back Thursday for some more experimenting.

Hopefully it will also make you laugh. Until then.

2009-09-24T02:38:00.000-05:00

So the hand is still injured, which is why today's comic is just sketchy. Sorry, my inking skills aren't quite back up to 100% just yet. Still, I hope you like it.

The accuracy to my actual experience in the hospital is uncanny. Except for the crazy mad scientist doctor...he was actually a wonderfully nice elderly doctor. But the pain I experienced at the beginning of the "procedure" made me feel otherwise at first...those local anesthetics...ouch. For about 20 seconds. Then paradise. It's still sore, but it's healing quite nicely so I expect a good recovery.

But there's no way in hell I'm paying 200 more bucks for them to remove the stitches for me. I'll do it myself. Until Monday.

2009-09-21T00:50:00.001-05:00

Thanks to my friend Dim McRemnant for the guest comic. After I told him about the incident regarding my finger, he stepped in to save the day. Thanks buddy.

For those unfamiliar with Dim's work, you can check out his Webcomic The McRemnant Report. Sadly it doesn't update anymore, but you can still enjoy the archived comics. Also, for those unfamilar with the character who interrupted John, his name is Frank the Angry Wrapper and he is magnificent. I really like how he emulated my artistic style. Good stuff.

Thanks again to Dim for the comic, I hope you all liked it. Hopefully by Thursday I won't need a guest comic, so for now expect one from me. Until then.

2009-09-17T06:42:00.000-05:00

So yeah. Today isn't a comic, but instead you get a sneak peek at the upcoming printed book of Mint Condition comics. I won't say much else for now, but since I couldn't get an actual comic done today, I thought you guys still deserved something cool. So here you go. This is just a rough concept/layout, so the actual cover may and probably will look at least a little different. Oh yeah, and there's totally going to be a book. In case you didn't already know...

There was supposed to be a guest comic for today, done by my good friend Dim McRemnant, however it got pushed back until Monday. So I guested for the guest comic. And for those of you wondering why I need guest comics, I sliced open my left index finger quite badly Monday evening and had to go to the hospital to get stitches. It happened while I was working on a new custom action figure. Suffice it to say I'm in a good deal of pain, and while it wasn't on my drawing hand, it still makes certain tasks difficult to perform. So yeah...the next time someone makes fun of you for collecting or playing with action figures, just show them this:

Until Monday.

2009-09-14T07:20:00.000-05:00

The end.

So this comic was fun and took longer to complete than I had originally anticipated. I did a lot of experimenting and I like how it turned out. I just love how Jimmy's face turned out in the last panel...and now a link to a trailer of one of my most anticipated movies this year, Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day!!! I SOOOO can't wait for that movie...it's going to be about as epic as epic can get. I'm calling it right now. Boondock Saints 2 > Your Face.

Until Thursday.

2009-09-10T16:05:00.002-05:00

They just can't win can they?

Sorry for the late news entry today, I was trying to finish updating the site before posting so I could talk about it...and now...um...I can talk about it. Yeah. So, if you notice below the comic now you'll see a bunch of tiny pictures and the words "Share this comic". Those links are to various social networking sites where you can submit various items from the internet for hundreds of thousands of people to see and submit themselves. It all sounds kinda wonky when you say it like that, but trust me it's good stuff. I have links to stumbleupon, reddit, digg, del.icio.us., twitter, and facebook. Now, if you read a comic you like, just click on one of those links and share the comic on the site of your choosing! So have fun with it.

Until Monday.

2009-09-07T06:00:00.002-05:00

Let's hope Jimmy doesn't turn into a Werebusey.

In all seriousness though, this is turning out to be quite a fun storyline for me to do. I always enjoy working on comics that feature "backburner" characters, i.e. characters I don't use as much. I seem to have a crutch in 3 main characters I always use (John, Nathan, Tim) more than the others, and I hate that I rely on them so much, so I always love doing storylines like these. I can definitely guarantee more storylines featuring backburner characters in the future.

Maybe even have Jimmy and Jeremy be a duo. They seem to have a straight man/funny man thing going on for sure. Anyways, until Thursday folks.

2009-09-03T11:10:00.002-05:00

You know, it may sound like a funny idea I came up with for the comic, but alas...you can have Gary Busey on your G.P.S.

Also, don't think that the recent merger of Disney and Marvel has slipped by me. I may comment on this at some point later (once I gather my brain matter back up), or I may do a comic about it. Not sure yet. One more quick thing. Discussion for comic prints is still up, so if you haven't voiced your opinion yet, go here and do so. I haven't gotten very many comments about it, which is not what I expected, so if enough people don't want comic prints then I wouldn't be able to do them. If you're sitting there thinking "I really want one, but I don't have the time to say so" then do! Like...totally...I can't read minds (yet) so if you want one, head on over to that link and scream it from the rooftops!!! Just not in all CAPS please.

Until Monday everybody.

2009-08-31T07:23:00.000-05:00

I don't know what it is with me...second comic in a row to have a poop joke. Oh well.

So I have a proposition for all you readers out there. I'm thinking of setting up a print service on this site. That is, you can buy a print of any comic in my archive. It would be high quality, printed on semi-gloss photo paper and be 8 1/2 X 11 inches. I can't say for sure what the price for a print would be, but a rough estimate would be around 10 bucks (plus shipping). I don't want to make any plans yet or start printing any comics until I have enough interest. If anyone is interested in buying high quality prints of any comic on my site then let me know. They'll even come signed for free if you want. And depending on how things go, I may only offer a select few comics for printing, but we'll see how it goes.

That's it for now. Until Thursday everyone.

2009-08-27T07:23:00.000-05:00

I say pretty much this exact thing to my girlfriend Sarah all the time. She does not find it amusing...

In other news, Amazon recently revealed a contest they are doing. The Comic Strip Superstar contest. I've seen some people comment on it, and I thought I'd offer my two cents. Personally I think this could be a great chance for any cartoonist out there looking for exposure. On the other hand, I think anyone entering the contest should be cautious. King Features Syndicate is pretty much the go-to syndication for pretty much all the major newspaper comic strips. They're not in desperate need of new talent, so just be careful and ask yourself why they would be spending time and money to take a chance on someone new. Chances are they are just trying to gain publicity, but they're also looking for new talent and since it's a big contest that could make someone a star, they won't care about the "fine print" in the contract, and the artist might end up getting screwed.

However, you would still be getting your art out there, and if that's all you care about then by all means go right ahead. If you want to comment on it, go right ahead. For in-depth discussion on the subject go here. Until Monday.

2009-08-24T07:41:00.000-05:00

Yes that is really what Cobra Commander looks like in the new G.I. Joe movie, sans helmet-mask thingy. But all joking aside I really liked the movie. It felt like your typical random makes-no-sense G.I. Joe plot. Loved it.

In other news, it seems my Tek Jansen custom recieved custom of the week over on TNI. Check it out. Always excited about honorable mentions. I'll have a new custom I just finished posted soon, so keep an eye out.

That's about it for now. Hope you enjoyed the ass-hattery of this epic (not epic) 2-parter. Regular ass-hattery to come on Thursday. Until then.

2009-08-20T07:35:00.000-05:00

I don't know why I keep dressing Jimmy up as a woman...it's just so...funny...but really I liked the G.I. Joe movie a lot. I got so swept up in it I bought just about all the figures they released for the movie. I don't know how my girlfriend Sarah puts up with it, but damnit I love her.

I want to thank everyone for suggesting ideas for site improvements. If you were one of them, then I'm talking to you. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you're still welcome to go here and post any suggestions for how the site could improve. I also just wanted to say that to anyone who has accounts with any social networking sites, feel free to copy and paste my comics. Adding a link back to the site wouldn't hurt either. Any exposure is good exposure.

That's about it for now. Today's comic was the setup, but come back Monday when the cast of Mint Condition go see G.I. Joe!!!! Fun, eh? Until then.

2009-08-17T11:27:00.004-05:00

The Dallas Comic-Con was fantastic! Thanks to everyone who showed up to support me, and thanks to everyone who didn't me bugging them with my stickers. I got to meet James O'Barr (the creator of The Crow, who isn't really like how I portrayed him in this comic. He's actually a great guy) and I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm weird, and I got to see Barry Bostwick!!! Awesomeness.

Also, if you look to your left of this news entry, or go to this link you will notice a new video posted. It's about 4-6 hours of work in photoshop that I did condensed into about 8 minutes with a cool soundtrack playing over it to keep you interested. Go check it out.

That's about it for today kiddies. Thanks again to everyone, and thanks to my girlfriend Sarah for not letting me spend all my money at the Con. Until Thursday.

2009-08-13T01:00:00.005-05:00

You know, my girlfriend and I had this exact conversation a couple of weeks ago. She still looks at me weird...so anyway...

Just to remind everyone again, this weekend is the Dallas Comic-Con and I will be there. If you can't find me, don't worry I'll probably find you. I'll be talking to everyone. Should be loads of fun. I can't wait.

In other news, I need your help. Just follow that link and give me suggestions for how you think the site could improve. And just so you know, suggestions for future story ideas will not be read. They will be deleted from the forum so I can't accidentally read them. Sorry, I write for myself and I don't want to read any ideas that I may already have for future stories. And remember, only post suggestions on that forum. It will be easier to organize them. So anyway, hope to see you at the Con on Saturday. Until then, and until Monday for the new comic.

2009-08-10T10:58:00.002-05:00

Yep. This is how the new Ultimate Gandhi storyline ends. Plus, you get to know the name of the current storyline. I thought "Broken Parts" Was somewhat fitting. I really enjoed doing another UG storyline, but I'm SO glad it's over. It took so much out of me. Thursday will bring back the original MC cast in...you know...wackiness and geek stuff and such. So look forward to that.

Also, just a reminder, this weekend is the Dallas Comic-Con. So look for me there. I'll be the one wearing a Mint Condition t-shirt and having perfect hair. I'll also be reminding everyone on Thursday as well.

Have a great week, hope everyone isn't too pissed at me for the way the story ended, and hope to see you at the Comic-Con this weekend. Until Thursday.

2009-08-06T07:32:00.000-05:00

Umm...I'm not sure I should comment much on this one...I mean I would, but all your pitchforks are so shiny and...forky...HEY LOOK OVER THERE!!!

So yeah. This happens. No cybernetic enhancements for U.G. as someone had speculated. But it's not the end of the story. There's one more chapter to the U.G. story, so join us again on Monday for the shocking conclusion of the latest Ultimate Gandhi storyline.

Until then everyone.

2009-08-03T11:52:00.002-05:00

Yes the Guard Leader has cybernetic enhancements, and yes he totally just sma-kracked UG's arm...I told you guys this was different from any UG story before. I've never injured him before. At least not like this.

I'm still on for the Dallas Comic-Con for anyone who wants to show up and visit with me. Again, I'll be the one wearing a Mint Condition T-Shirt. Not a whole lot else to report today. Finishing up a new custom action figure I've been working on, I'll be ready to reveal that soon enough.

Again, hope everyone is enjoying the story. Until Thursday.

Bum-Bum-BUUUUUUMMMM!!!! Yep, the British Guard Leader makes his return right here. And what's? A Robotic eye??? PLOT TWIST!!! Ok, not really but you see what I mean.

I just wanted to let everyone know that my customs are still up on eBay for the next couple of hours. Just follow this link to my eBay page right now to view my customs for sale. I'm selling all of my Watchmen customs, including the 6 inch Walter Kovacs based on his look in the movie. Happy bidding! Don't let them slip away!

Join us Monday for the fight everyone (or maybe like 3, 4 people) have been waiting for! Until then.

2009-07-27T12:12:00.002-05:00

The new UG storyline is coming along nicely. I hope you're all enjoying it. I'm having a blast doing it. This is definitely turning out to be my favorite UG story. I think you'll all like how it ends, as well.

But enough of that. Thanks to everyone for their support and congratulations of Mint Condition's birthday. It really means a lot. Your continued support is what makes this all worth it. In the words of Joss Whedon: "I'd rather have a show that 100 people need to see than a show that 1000 people like to see".

I couldn't agree more. Until Thursday.

2009-07-23T16:46:00.004-05:00

Sorry it took so long in the day to post something. I've been soooo busy. But anyway, yeah here it is. 2 years of Mint Condition being on the Web, and with it I bring you a brand new Ultimate Gandhi storyline. It won't be too long, but it won't be too short either. I was excited to do another storyline featuring UG, considering I haven't done one in over a year and my art has changed a lot since then.

And now some news bulletins. One, the weekend of August 15-16 I will be at the Dallas Comic-Con. I won't have a table, but I will be walking around promoting and buying stuff I shouldn't. I'll be wearing a Mint Condition shirt, so you can't miss me if you want to meet me. Also, There are some new custom action figures up on my customs page. And speaking of customs, I'm selling a bunch on eBay right now. You may have to wait a little while for them to show up on that page though, because I just listed them. I'm selling all of my Watchmen customs, including the 6 inch Walter Kovacs based on his look in the movie.

Well, that's about it for now. I'll keep you guys updated on any new developments. Hope you enjoy the new story, and thanks for making the past 2 years more enjoyable every day. Until Monday.

2009-07-20T14:38:00.001-05:00

So now I have an internet connection at home. And digital cable. Woot. The cable just left not too long ago. So regular news updates will occur now. Hope you guys liked the storyline I set up.

Join us Thursday for Mint Condition's two year anniversary! That's right...this comic has been alive for two whole years...feels weird. But we'll talk about that more on Thursday.

Until then.

2009-07-16T00:30:00.000-05:00

So, yeah. I've pretty much settled in to my new apartment. I'm still waiting on getting an internet connection, because I'm waiting for a new computer I bought online to arrive first. I'm very excited about that. But as you can see, I'm still alive and posting. So no worries there.

The comic is still updating regularly, and I hope you're enjoying the current story. I've been wanting to include Hunter S. Thompson into the comic for a long time. No specific purpose really, I just love the thought of the kind of dialogue I can write for him.

Until Monday.

2009-07-09T15:39:00.002-05:00

So here I am, completely moved into my new apartment in Garland, Texas with my girlfriend Sarah. I'm really liking it so far as well. The apartment is already setup. We just have to wait a bit for the cable/internet to be hooked up, so for now I'm at the...public library...yikes.

But fear not, the comic will still be updated as scheduled. I'll keep everyone updated on everything. For now, I think I'm finally going to go see the new Transformers movie with my lovely girlfriend!

Until Monday.

2009-07-02T16:28:00.002-05:00

So you may have noticed some minor changes to the site today. First off I changed the size of the talkshoe badge for my internet radio show to make it fit more nicely into the design of the site. I also changed the comic navigation buttons. I wanted something that felt more...buttony. I also added a random button and a button for discussing the latest comic. When you click on "random" it takes you to a random comic from the archive. When you click on "Discuss" it takes you to a forum on my site to discuss the latest comic!

I will be trial running these buttons. Depending on the feedback I get will determine if I keep them. I like the idea of a random button, so if you like it, then speak up! The discuss button will be used to try and increase traffic to the forums which are currently "mostly dead". Well, I'm moving this weekend, so there may or may not be a news post on Monday. But there will definitely be a comic.

Until then.

2009-06-29T12:28:00.002-05:00

I'm not entirely sure what the purpose for this little two-parter is...I think I just wanted to use that "Not even sure I believe in Earth" joke...I'm feeling very blah lately and I can't explain why. I think I just have a lot on my mind right now, what with the moving and all.

Still, I won't let that get in the way of me making you all laugh. However I can make no promises on the amount of nonsense that may or may not be in my comic for the next month. But it's not like nonsense is a stranger to Mint Condition...I'm ranting now.

Until Thursday.

2009-06-25T12:03:00.003-05:00

Wow, for a moment I thought the comic didn't update today. I had to refresh the page to see it. Weird...

So big BIG news. I'm moving. The weekend of July 4th, I'm moving from my current location all the way across the state. I'm moving back to my hometown of Garland, Texas. So I'm very excited about that. I'm letting you all know that the comic will still be updating on time, I've worked ahead and already thought of that. However, my news updates may lack for a little while as I get adjusted to my new home.

Until Monday.

2009-06-25T00:30:00.001-05:00

Just thought I'd let you guys know that my Matrix customs are still up for auction. Neo and Agent Smith will be ending soon though, so act now!

In other news, I just checked my Google Analytics, and I'd like to give a shoutout to my one reader in South Africa. Hope you keep coming back! That's about all for now. Join us Monday for a follow up to today's kind of "WTF?"esque comic.

Until Then.

2009-06-22T00:30:00.000-05:00

Man, I'm just full of the callbacks lately aren't I? I don't know what's up with me, I just feel a good opportunity to do something so I do it. Plain and simple.

Of course the comic which I'm calling back to here was a while ago, but it still makes me chortle. Anyway, not much else to report. Just got some stuff I'm working on and/or trying to work out with my life right now. I'll keep you updated.

Until Thursday.

2009-06-19T15:48:00.000-05:00

That censor bar speaks for itself...

2009-06-15T14:12:00.002-05:00

Seriously, have you ever bought a Transformers figure that ever looks like it does on the box? No. There's always like, one or two parts that won't fit into the right places like they should.

This just happens to show what might come of one attempting to perform the perfect transformation. Let that be a lesson. Keep reading on Thursday to find out what happens.

Until then.

2009-06-11T00:30:00.000-05:00

And "Tasteless Humor Week" concludes with today's tasteless comic. I didn't plan for this to happen, it just kinda did. Anyway, don't judge me. I'm not a chauvenist. I don't even how to spell it. Seriously, is that spelled right? I dunno...

Anyway, I hope you're all liking the slight changes to the sight, most notably the "What's on My Mind" section, that being a Twitter feed straight from my account...again, don't judge me.

Until Monday.

2009-06-08T17:23:00.002-05:00

Ok, NOW the Twitter feed is finished. got it completely the way I want it. Nerver-wracking process, let me tell you...

So I've officially dubbed this week "Tasteless Humor Week". It starts off with today's particularly tasteless comic, and comes full circle this Thursday. See, now you're just frothing at the mouths in anticipation.

Until Thursday.

2009-06-05T15:53:00.002-05:00

Just wanted to let everyone know that Mint Condition now has a working Twitter feed! I know you're thinking "more Twitter???" but truth be told, I've been a member of Twitter long before this sudden burst of popularity. I just haven't gotten around to making a working Twitter feed on the site until now.

But I've wanted one for a while. There's a link right below the feed to my Twitter page where you can follow all of my escapades (in 140 characters or less).

Until Monday.

2009-06-01T14:19:00.004-05:00

So now you all know where I get my inspiration from. I'm really not a satanic worshipper, nor do I practice the black arts in any way, shape, or form...

As always, I just couldn't resist a good joke. A little side note: If I don't say that chant exactly right, my soul gets transported into a doll.

Until Thursday folks.

2009-05-28T11:21:00.002-05:00

I've been waiting to do this one for some time now. I've just been craving for a chance to bring back the Kool-Aid man. Ha. Still hope they don't sue me...anyway.

In other news, If you go to the Mint Condition Customs section of this site, you will see a plethora of newly uploaded custom action figures. Feel free to check out my series of 3.75 inch Watchmen customs, a custom of Walter Kovacs from the Watchmen movie, a second version of my moviestyle Hannibal King, and a movie concept for Kraven the Hunter. And those are just my latest customs. Check 'em all out!

Until Monday.

2009-05-21T00:30:00.000-05:00

Yes, the Don't Bitch if you Don't Have to Pay Foundation has returned, and triumphantly if I may add. The thought that the Foundation works as a sort of Men-In-Black type of organization seems intriguing to me...

In other news, I have some custom figures for sale on eBay. Just visit my auctions page to see. I'm selling my custom Matrix Neo and Agent Smith figures, as well as my custom Brock "Murderfly" Samson figure from the Venture Bros. If you're interested, check 'em out.

Until Monday.

2009-05-19T16:30:00.002-05:00

I was trying to go for something abstract with the background on this one. Which is why everything back there looks weird. Just trying out new ways to separate the fore from the background. By the way, anyone who has ever used one of those things before I'm sure can feel Dave's pain. Which is also pretty much everyone's pain. In other news, I'm going to be moving soon, so forgive me if there is a lack of news posts. The comic will keep updating as scheduled though. Just a head's up.

Until Thursday.

2009-05-14T09:10:00.004-05:00

As someone who has never considered himself a Star Trek fan his entire life, and someone who has never seriously watched the show before, I must say...The movie was amazing...Saw it last night, and it was phenomenal. I'm looking forward to possible sequels. However, this doesn't mean I'm a fan of all Star Trek. Not sure I could watch the show now, because the movie has a much different feel from the show.

But who knows. Maybe. Until Monday.

P.S. Don't kill me for this one, Nathan.

2009-05-11T16:53:00.002-05:00

Just a quick rundown of the Lubbock Comic Book Expo. It was a lot of fun. I've been working through the bugs found on the site (both by me and people informing me), so it should be all good now.

Thanks for all the positive comments on the new design. A lot of work went into it, and it couldn't have been possible without the undying support and patience of my girlfriend Sarah. Thanks babe.

Join us Thursday for more hilarity.

2009-05-06T22:54:00.003-05:00

Ok, so finally...here's the new site. The CG servers are running at regular capacity again, so that's good. Now...you can see there are added sections to the site. Feel free to check everything out. The store has changed, so have the forums...literally everything.

And you'll notice that banner below the comic, and the link at the top of the page for Mint Condition Customs. As some of you know, I'm an action figure customizer, so I added that as a section to the site to showcase my work. Check it out.

Oh, and I have no idea what the site looks like in Firefox, Safari, or Netscape. I use IE, so if there's any bugs at all that you notice, email me and let me know and I'll get it fixed. Until Monday everybody.

2009-05-04T18:10:00.003-05:00

So I have the problem sorted out now. That is to say, I know why my site is messing up. There's a problem with the Comic Genesis servers. Apparently some hackers tried to mess with it, and caused the whole system to crash. It's back up now, but the update system is going incredibly INCREDIBLY slow. And I have no idea when it will be fixed. Hopefully soon. So that's why there isn't a new for today, AND why the new site design isn't up. Anyway, I'll just post the new comic here, because this is pissing me off:

Click here to view the latest comic!

There will be new comic Thursday, come Hell or high water (or both in a nice steamy mix). Until Thursday everyone.

2009-05-04T10:17:00.000-05:00

Ok...apparently the comic didn't upload for today...which is weird, because I made sure it was going to upload...I think there may be a problem due to my changing of the site design. So don't worry, things will be worked out today. If you don't see a comic now, don't fret. Just check back later in the day. Until then everyone.

2009-04-30T10:02:00.001-05:00

I'm immensenly sorry for the lack of comic today. I have it half-finished, but yesterday I worked litterally from 10 in the morning until 2 in the morning (today). I decided to hold off on a new comic until Monday so I could work on the site design.

I promise you all it will be worth it. That is, if you care about a new site design at all. Some may say "whatever", but believe me you'll notice the difference when I'm finished.

So expect a new comic on Monday, and hopefully (key word) a new site as well.

Until Monday everybody. Hope to see you at the Lubbock Comic Book Expo this Saturday.

2009-04-26T19:47:00.003-05:00

This is definitely one that's been on the "idea list" for quite some time. This isn't a real study of course, but it would be excellent if this were true. I'm still working like CRAZY to get the new site up and running. I had no idea just how much goes into designing a website...Jeezy Creezy...but hopefully I'll have it up by the end of the week. If not, then it's looking like next week. Oh, and if you happen to be in Lubbock, Texas this weekend, join me at the Lubbock Comic Book Expo. It's supposed to be a pretty good size, and it's free to come in! Not onlyl that, but it's FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!!! So come on over. I found out about it too late, so I won't have a table, but I'll be walking around promoting Mint Condition. I'll be the guy with the long hair and glasses. You can't miss me. Until Thursday.

2009-04-20T13:47:00.003-05:00

Does anyone even remember the Garbage Pail Kids? How about the fact that they made a movie based on them. I don't even have any of them left, but I remember a few years ago they tried to revive it. I would see packs of them at convenience stores and whatnot. Not sure where I'm going with this. Just reminiscing I guess. Anyway, Until Thursday.

2009-04-16T10:45:00.004-05:00

For those who may be wondering, I have not seen the Street Fighter Legends: Chun-Li movie. I never planned to see it in theatres, but I might, MIGHT see it on DVD. Not sure yet. Anyway, I should actually see a movie before making fun of it, but the trailers and cast list seemed to give me all I needed. I mean seriously. The cast alone is enough to make me NOT want to see it. My dream for years has been to direct a live action Street Fighter movie that has a story closer to the anime, or the comic series put out by Udon Comics. Now THAT would be awesome. I think I can still make that a reality one day...So you can give me your thoughts on the movie, if you've seen it or not, or tell me what(or who) you would want in a Street Fighter movie. Could be fun. Until Monday.

2009-04-14T10:34:00.002-05:00

Sorry for no post yesterday. I'm super busy working on the site. But I did add something new today. If you look at the bottom of the news box (that is, use the scroll bar) you'll find a link to all past blog archives. Now you can relive (or witness for the first time) the evolution of my rantings any time you want! How...fun...anyway, until Thursday everybody.

2009-04-09T00:30:00.000-05:00

Hey everybody. This is the new news box, now with scrolling action!!! Still working out all the kinks, but this way you can see some of the previous entries too. I hope this will suffice for the time being. Still working like crazy to get the new site up. I promise I'll have it finished by the end of the month. Until Monday.

2009-04-05T20:44:00.001-05:00

Just wanted to let everyone know that that new site I was promising is well under way. Working like crazy to get everything finished and published. I'm very excited for the new site design, and I hope you all end up liking it. Oh yeah, and to find out what the hell is going on, keep reading. Until Thursday.

2009-04-02T10:27:00.001-05:00

Sorry for the lateness of the blog today. I've been so busy this week. As you may have noticed, there is some sort of navigation bar at the top of the news. This is something blogger just put in as a means to piss me off and throw off my aesthetic feel to the site. So for now we'll all just have to bear through it until I can fix it. Also, late april fools. For some reason. Until Monday.

2009-03-30T00:30:00.000-05:00

I've been wanting to do this one for a while. Just always made me laugh when I thought of it. I'm not too particularly fond of Scare Tactics. It seems too fake and probably is. Those brick walls aren't photos, they're completely rendered in photoshop, I just wanted to try something new with my backgrounds, instead of always drawing them and them looking like ass. Hope you like it. Until Thursday.

2009-03-26T00:30:00.000-05:00

This idea was originally inspired by my girlfriend Sarah, who said she always wanted to do that whenever she sees people with "homeless" or "help" signs. I completely agree, being a college student myself. I doubt it would transpire exactly as it does here, but it sure would be funny if it did. By the way, I really debated whether or not to have the homeless guy say anything in the second-to-last panel. I ultimately decided it was for the best. Anyway, until Monday.

2009-03-23T00:30:00.000-05:00

Nathan is not a fan of President Obama. I'm not sure if he'll be pissed at this comic or not, but when I thought of it I thought it was hilarious, so I suppose it will be worth it. Eh, he can take a joke. Until Thursday.

2009-03-19T00:30:00.000-05:00

Nathan is not a fan of DC Comics, even in real life. I've tried explaining to him that just because a book is published by DC doesn't mean it's like the normal DC stories. He's complicated, he is. He hates DC but loves Vertigo, which is an offshoot of DC. And yet he won't give Watchmen a try...oh well.

2009-03-16T00:30:00.000-05:00

This one is very experimental for me. This is the first time I've tried working with a rain effect in photoshop, and I think it turned out quite nicely. Watchmen is awesome. That's all there is to it. You should all see the movie, and read the book, but not necessarily in that order. And if you've never heard of Watchmen...well, you just did. So there. Until Thursday.

2009-03-12T00:30:00.000-05:00

The end...? Nah, it's the end. For now anyway. Damn that was one long storyline. Almost 3 months. Hope nobody out there got bored and stopped reading. And if you did...well you can catch back up using the archives. Oh, and fuck you. So now we can finally start the new year! Or something...I dunno. Until Monday.

2009-03-10T11:26:00.002-05:00

Yep, Adam knew this whole time. Surprised? I'm not. But that may be due to the fact that I wrote the damned thing and junk. Anyway, sorry for the late post. Been busier than usual with...damned near everything. Trying to get ahead on the comics, because I'm taking next week off. Anyway, join us Thursday for the conclusion. Until then.

2009-03-05T00:30:00.000-06:00

If you're asking how he knew where Graves would shoot so he could put the blood pack there, the answer is simple. Shut up. He's Clark Parker. Best P.I. in town and all that jazz. Also if you're asking why he has his coat on when he punches Graves, but not in the next panel, it's because he took it off to reveal what was under his shirt. It is in no way due to my lack of attention being paid at the time of creating this comic...yeah, that sounds convincing...anyway, until Monday.

2009-03-02T00:30:00.000-06:00

Oh, they'll just never get it will they? By the way, has anyone noticed that Adam is still handcuffed? He looks so pitiful doesn't he? Oh well. Anyway, remember that new site I promised you this month? Yeah...that's why I've learned never to set a date for something until you're absolutely sure of it. Which I'm not. So keep looking out for it. It should be sometime in between now and...sometime later. Until Thursday.

2009-02-26T00:30:00.000-06:00

Yep, there it is. All in its expositiony format. The entire story behind...well, this story. It's a lot to take in I'm sure. Believe me it was a lot to write, and make sure it all fit on the page. If there's any part about it, please...keep it to yourself. Just kidding. Or am I? Anyway, tune in next Monday for more goodness. Until then.

2009-02-23T00:30:00.000-06:00

If you're still unsure of who Detective Graves is, I direct you're attention here. That comic explains everything. Well it shows who he is. There's still a LOT left to explain though. But you'll all find that out shortly. Or maybe you won't? Who knows in a world where just ANYBODY could get shot? ...Until Thursday.

2009-02-19T00:30:00.000-06:00

What? WHAT?!?!?! Well...this is just...well...huh. Guess you'll have to wait until Monday to see who shot Clark Parker. In the meantime I suggest you mull it over and wrack your brains to the point of neglecting your loved ones and responsibilites only to realize you're insects in the grand scheme of the universe and that any conclusion is insignificant in this vast nothingness. But before all that...make me a sandwich. I'm hungry.

2009-02-16T00:30:00.000-06:00

You can call Clark many things, but a liar is not one of them. Plus he survived being mauled by a bear. Who knows how he got out of that mess? Now I'd like to take a moment to urge anyone out there who has not already purchased the Hulk Vs. DVD to do so. It is worth the money ten times over...even if Deadpool in the Hulk Vs. Wolverine movie was poorly written. Until Thursday.

2009-02-12T00:30:00.000-06:00

So there you have it. The origin of Clark Parker: Clown P.I. Was it exciting enough? You may answer in praises of worship. Not that I'm saying you should praise me because of the work on my comic, just in general is all. I'm a little bummed out at the moment. Perhaps I'll elaborate on why at some point in time, but I'll be fine. Anyway, until Monday.

2009-02-09T00:30:00.000-06:00

That's right. Part 1 of Clark Parker's origin. Pretty spiffy, eh? His origin will be concluded on Thursday. You can talk about what you think of his arc in the forums if you'd like or just leave a comment or...whatever really. There's so many ways to tell people what you think about stuff on these "internets" we have. I'm rambling. Don't have much of relevance to say today. Blah. Until Thursday.

2009-02-05T00:30:00.001-06:00

Again with that ongoing joke. They'll just never get it. So yes, Clark Parker has been bested. By a grizzly bear. And what's this. An origin? Yep, next week you get an origin. So I hope you like it. If not, then keep it to yourself. Or lie. Either way I'm good. On a side note, I'm selling a new Two-Face custom figure I made based on his look in The Dark Knight. If you're interested, check it out. Until Monday.

2009-02-02T00:30:00.000-06:00

That's right. I brought him back. Bet you didn't think I would, huh? Or maybe you don't remember Wickett the Bear? Interesting side note...this is the first time Clark has ever, EVER opened his eyes more than half-way. I guess something about a ravenous grizzly bear just makes you see things differently. Get it? GET IT? ...Fine. You'll laugh later though. Until Thursday.

2009-01-29T00:30:00.000-06:00

Yeah, don't worry I'm not making you wait another week for some MC goodness. I'm not that cruel...at the moment anyway. Ok, so the time has come for some announcements. First order of business: I'm awesome. Now, second order of business. I'm redoing the entire website. I'm not giving a date, I'm just informing. No idea when it will happen, but I'm hopeful to have it happen within the next month or so. Also, I have a secret project that I won't reveal until it's near completion. That is all. Until Monday.

2009-01-26T14:54:00.001-06:00

I know the comic is a little late today. I apologize. Classes have started again which means more work, plus I've started a project on the side that I can't talk about right now, so suffice it to say my time is well used right now. Thursday's comic will update as scheduled. And you'll notice I updated the Archive page (finally) for 2009. YOU'RE WELCOME. Now, about the comic...it's funny? But seriously, I think that describes pretty much any sibling relationship, don't you? Until Thursday.

2009-01-22T00:30:00.000-06:00

Clark is a true professional. He's held his arm in that same position for a long time. But he's right, enough playing around. Enough exposition. Now it's time for action. As in fighting, kicking, biting, strong language, and possibly some brief nudity. Join us Thursday for the awesomness everybody.

2009-01-19T00:30:00.000-06:00

Man I really must have something against Dave...that or I think it's funny to see people who truly care about each other treat each other so horribly. Does that say something about me? Oh yeah, that last panel is easily one of my top 10 (if not top 5) favorite panels I've ever drawn. And if anyone wants to make any WWUGD bracelets I'm all for it...so long as I get royalties. Until Thursday.

2009-01-15T00:30:00.000-06:00

Yes, I have been planning this for a very long time. Some of you even commented to me that the dude in the back of the restaurant looked like the clown P.I. from an earlier comic. I just never verified it for obvious reasons. But I bet you're wondering what else Clark was witness to. I bet you'll never be able to look at an older comic the same way again. Not without questioning something about it. Have fun with that. I'm loving working on this storyline. Until Monday.

2009-01-12T00:30:00.000-06:00

And now we're back to our regularly scheduled programming. I liked doing this one. You would be surprised how easy it is to make a completely black panel...dream come true I tell ya. Well now that we're back in the fray, join us Thursday for some good ol' exposition worthy of all the great noir stories of our time. Until then.

2009-01-05T00:30:00.000-06:00

You heard the comic. Takin' a week off. Partially so I can catch up on extra work, partially because I'm tired as hell, but mostly it's to build suspense for the inevitable story arc that's about to happen. I know...you all hate me for it...now. But I promise it's worth the wait. Until next Monday.

2008-12-31T00:30:00.001-06:00

Dun-Dun-Dunnnnn!!!! HOLY CRAP! Yep, that's how the year is ending. A cliffhanger. What's that? You don't know who the clown guy in the trench coat is? Well new readers (or old forgetfull readers) all you need is look right here. It was wayyyy back in March of this year. That's right. I made a huge call back. How does it play out you say? Well you'll have to wait...until next year. Until 2009 everybody.

2008-12-30T00:30:00.000-06:00

So yeah sketchy comic today. You know how I like doin' 'em every now and again. I wish Hasbro made figures for that movie...I haven't even seen it yet, but it looks amazing. I'll see it eventually. And don't forget everybody, there will be another new comic tomorrow on Wednesday. And from then on the comic updates as per the normal schedule. So don't forget...otherwise later you'll have to backtrack in the archives. Until tomorrow.

2008-12-29T00:30:00.000-06:00

Boy, anyone can just get hold of scrubs and labcoats these days, huh? Oh well...you've got to alleviate that hospital boredom somehow right? Don't forget everyone, there will be another new comic on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. So don't forget...otherwise later you'll have to backtrack in the archives. Until tomorrow folks.

2008-12-26T00:30:00.000-06:00

No that "doctor" bears no resemblance to any character(s) allegedly currently being portrayed by one Hugh Laurie. So, see? told you there'd be a new comic today. And remember there will be another new comic on Monday of next week another new comic next Tuesday and Wednesday. So don't forget...otherwise later you'll have to backtrack in the archives. Until Monday everybody.

2008-12-25T00:30:00.002-06:00

Alright, so technically the new comic was posted yesterday, but I had to make sure everything was going to go smoothly. I won't be able to check for the rest of the year. But anyway, here it is, a new comic. Enjoy. And remember there will be another new comic on Friday of this week. Then on Monday of next week another new comic. And another new comic next Tuesday and Wednesday. So don't forget...otherwise later you'll have to backtrack in the archives. Until...well tomorrow folks.

2008-12-24T16:03:00.002-06:00

I know I've been late as of...late. But here's how I'm making it up to you. Starting tomorrow (Thursday) there will be a new comic. Not only that, there will be another new comic on Friday of this week. Then on Monday of next week another new comic. And another new comic next Tuesday and Wednesday. So there you go. You get 5 new comics practically back to back. And the comic will update normally from now on...until it doesn't. Until then.

2008-12-19T08:18:00.005-06:00

First off, I noticed someone said "That car is fucking huge". That is because it is a van. So...there. Secondly, sorry about the weird update schedule as of late. Things have been...interesting in my life. There is no comic today, although I do have it completed I seem to have forgotten to save it to something so I can upload it. So that comic, plus a comic for Monday will go up...sometime on Monday. I promise. Lest Ultimate Gandhi devour my soul.

2008-12-15T00:30:00.001-06:00

Again proving that real life time doesn't always coincide with Mint Condition time, and confusing the characters a bit more with that reality check. So yeah, remember when Willow got pregnant again? That really seems to be the only time she shows up...I should change that. Or do something...anyway, enjoy what's surely to be a hilarious storyline involving Nathan having yet another child. Until Thursday.

2008-12-08T11:38:00.003-06:00

I hope nobody gets too literal and points out that "Pretentious Tuesdays" is taking place on a Thursday in real life. Because as we all should be aware of, the time in the comic does not always coincide with time in real life. It should also be said this comic was interesting because it was inked with a new brush pen from Sakura's Micron line that I just got. It is amazing. I'm in love with it. Where has it been all my life? That is all. Until Monday.

2008-12-04T10:54:00.002-06:00

I felt like mixing different styles for today's comic. So sue me. Now for some announcements. Things have been piling up in every aspect of my life right now. I'm focusing on my college work, because...well I don't want to fail. So that will be my priority right now. I will work my best to keep updating regularly throughout the rest of the year, but if I fall short a bit please bear with me. Thank you. Oh, and Nerf should really get started on that Nerf-Zooka.

2008-12-01T11:13:00.003-06:00

Ok so...I feel an explanation is in order. These past couple of weeks have been crazy for me. School work piling up, I had to go to a funeral, and several other instances popping up to distract me. There is no comic today. I'm sorry. It will be late. I promise the comic will be up sometime tomorrow, but for now please forgive me. Thursday will update as scheduled and throughout the rest of the year. Any questions, just leave a comment or say something in the forums. Thank you.

2008-11-24T14:45:00.002-06:00

Sorry I didn't post anything last Thursday. I had to go out of town for a funeral. I hope you enjoyed the epilogue to the Necrocomicon. I was proud of how I did that necrophiliacs eye in the second-to-last panel. And I hope you enoy towel-clad John in this comic complete with exposition for Expendable Character. Join us Thursday where I do finally do something not related to the Necrocomic. Until then.

2008-11-17T18:52:00.002-06:00

I had to give the fans a little taste of some boomstick and chainsaw action. But Jeremy does have a point...you would think they would have thought SOMETHING suspicous was going on...but I guess a horror convention is just too good to pass up. And maybe the strange setting was part of the horror ambience? Huh? You ever think of that? I thought not...

2008-11-13T09:10:00.002-06:00

Really, there was no way for us to know...and if I may say, I think the blood stain through the bandage makes it look oh so more gruesome. I'm not trying to say anything against Bruce Campbell, it's more against us for being so super-saturated with pop culture that we believe everything we see in the movies. But then again, if I wasn't that way would my comic be the way it is? Until Monday.

2008-11-10T11:10:00.003-06:00

Sometimes you have to break away from the funny and just make a badass zombie killing splash page. You know I realized, as I was doing this comic that I haven't used the term "Malevolent" since this comic, and I just couldn't let that stand. So if you want, join me in the forum and talk about all the people you've wanted to say Malevolent to, or the funniest situations you've been in to use that word. Until Thursday.

2008-11-06T09:18:00.004-06:00

If you couldn't tell by today's comic, I'm extremely happy with the election results. It may surpirse some of you, but I'm actually quite passionate about politics, and I truly believe Barack Obama to be the best man for if not saving this country, at least making it suck less. If you care, join me in the forums for in depth discussion on the topic, or just post random comments here.

2008-11-03T11:22:00.001-06:00

Yes, Expendable Character has met his untimely end. Will he return? No...I'll dispell that rumor before it even starts. But this story arc isn't over yet. Yeah, I know it's not October anymore. But this thing kinda ran away from me. So, stick with it. Hope everyone had a great Halloween. And remember, no matter who you're voting for, go out and vote tomorrow. This is the most important election of possibly this century. Until Thursday.

2008-10-30T09:15:00.001-05:00

Anyone who knows me HAD to see this coming...all my friends know that I think Bruce Campbell is a God mong men. Keep reading to find out how Bruce Campbell plays out in the comic. Have a happy Halloween everyone. Until Monday.

2008-10-27T12:06:00.002-05:00

No funny ranting today. I feel like crap, so...yeah. Stuff. Hope you like the new comic. By the way. The first one to say it gets a no-prize. What is it you have to say? Well...obviously I can't tell you that.

2008-10-23T11:55:00.002-05:00

Let me just say, that yes, the majority of people out there usually do have legs. They also have jaws. They also don't try and eat other people. So one can assume that this thing is a decaying, flesh-eating zombie, OR...a cannabalistic war vet who chewed tobacco a lot. Think about THAT one for a while...until Monday.

2008-10-20T11:03:00.002-05:00

No disrespect to the Knievel family. But I just couldn't resist this joke...and with my zombie arc, the timing was perfect. You gotta love my attention to detail in the brain matter falling from her head. Also, some more changes will be coming to the site in due time. So keep an eye out. Until next time.

2008-10-16T16:31:00.002-05:00

Are you tired of having to click back 100 times to get to an old comic? Me too. That's why I'm proud to present the handy archives page. It's a simple calendar with every comic starting in 2007 all the way until today. So as long as you know the general time a comic was published that's all it takes. Have fun with it. I feel it will help a lot with the site. Until Monday everybody.

2008-10-13T11:04:00.002-05:00

There's been some great progress in the changes to the site. With any luck, I should have the site updated completely this week. And just so you all know, with enough support I plan to bring the NecroComicon to life one day. I think it would be the best horror convention ever. The zombie thing depends on whether or not the uprising has occured by that time.

2008-10-09T09:13:00.002-05:00

So the NecroComicon story line is full under way. Hope you're enjoying it so far. And remember those changes I talked about the site undergoing? Well you will notice a new character profile in the cast page and some new links in the links page, but the bigger changes are taking longer than expected. Such is the curse of someone who is a full time student, has a day job, and is a webcartoonist. Just try and be patient with me as I get things sorted out. Until next time.

2008-10-06T11:00:00.004-05:00

A couple of things today. First off, the Repo! The Genetic Opera soundtrack is available for purchase. It's awesome. Secondly, go to this link and listen to the song Swindle by The Razorblade Dolls as many times as possible to get them on the Punisher 2 soundtrack. They're a local Dallas band and they're awesome as well. Thirdly, expect changes to the site this week. That is all. Until Thursday.

2008-10-02T09:12:00.001-05:00

Those who have been readers for a long time, remember my last year's Halloween special in the comic. Well this year is going to be even bigger for the second annual Mint Condition Halloween Spooktacular. <---Most clever name ever. And this happens to be the start of it. So keep your eyes peeled this entire month as I bring you Halloween goodness. Until Monday everybody.

2008-09-30T13:02:00.000-05:00

Well that's much better. The internet is screwy, eh? Well I got it fixed...sort of. Anywho, I hope this comic helps out anyone who might have thought I had anything against little people. I seem to always look for excuses to draw bears. Well that's about it. Join us tomorrow. Until then everybody.

2008-09-29T13:28:00.001-05:00

John is having trouble accessing his Mint Condition blog account. We are trying to find a remedy.

2008-09-22T10:57:00.002-05:00

Nathan and I actually had this conversation a few weeks ago. Although I don't think he was really talking about his reflection. Something about some new action figures or something. I think. I'm not sure. That's usually where our conversations end up. Anywho, look at his pants! I'm trying something new. You can't begrudge my artistic experimentation. Until next time.

2008-09-18T09:09:00.001-05:00

This game actually exists. I don't know if it's official, but I heard Seth Green and the others mention it one time and thought it was hilarious. The question you should be asking yourself though is how did Nathan get his boxer shorts on his head without removing his pants or getting up from the couch? Explode <----Your head. Until next time.

2008-09-15T10:57:00.001-05:00

It's no secret amongst people who know me that I'm something of a night owl. Which means the people I surround myself with are perfect, because they're pretty much the same way. Now don't ask me if Tim is being sarcastic or serious, because to be honest I can't tell myself...think about that for a while. Until Thursday.

2008-09-11T12:11:00.002-05:00

Oh Arthur...still wearing that same leather jacket...when will you ever grow up? You have to admit though, that would be a lot cooler than being able to start up a jukebox. The temptation to use that power for evil would be overwhelming...just think about it. I'm going to go take a nap. Until Monday.

2008-09-08T11:05:00.002-05:00

I've been wanting to do this for forever. I've just been waiting for the right time. I'm really happy with the way this one turned out, especially the background. It's much more lively than usual. Hope you all think the same. I'm going to try and get dry...it's raining like hell right now. Until next time.

2008-09-04T11:31:00.004-05:00

In a perfect world, this would happen on a daily basis wherever a Quiznos is close to a Subway...alas, the world is cruel and doesn't grant me such pleasures. If only I could be the instigator of a huge franchise war. Maybe someday...I'm looking at you Bed, Bath, and Beyond...and to give you a sense of how hard this comic was to produce...here it is before I started coloring or organizing the layers. In other news, happy birthday to Jacqi (yes the character) as she is 23 today. So have a good one. Until Monday folks.

2008-09-02T10:38:00.002-05:00

Ok...so. That was a hassle. Sorry about the non-update yesterday folks. I was going through some technical difficulties but now it's resolved. I usually have someone help me update this site, but...he didn't. So I found out how to do it myself (not that I didn't know before, I just didn't have the resources). So yeah here it is. And just a note...that really is how it is where I live. It's insanity...until Thursday.

2008-08-28T11:07:00.001-05:00

It's funny, because they actually used to look like that...and because, like so many of my comics, this one actually happened. Not the part about Nathan stealing comics, but the part about Adam calling him a stripper because he had only singles. This is the joy of having a group of friends...they give me all the material I need. Good times indeed...until next time.

2008-08-25T11:46:00.002-05:00

Adam likes to experiment and is detoured by nothing. He isn't really Iron Man though, but he did try to damage his own heart so he'd need a life support system like Tony Stark. Instead he just hurt himself. He's...special. But that's why we love him. With his damaging the couch and thinking of Ultimate Gandhi. Stay tuned for Thursday. Until next time.

2008-08-21T10:51:00.002-05:00

Many of you are familiar with what I'm referencing here. I won't say the exact name, but it starts with an "A" and ends with "strive Student Loans". I hate that guy on those commercials. I hate those commercials period. I hate any kind of student loan that NEEDS a commercial. They can't be trusted. I'm all about small loans from a bank. But big loans like that? Yeah you'll be in debt for forever. I can't stand it. And now that the new semesters are starting up those commercials are everywhere. Kill me now...until Monday.

2008-08-18T11:05:00.003-05:00

If you don't know who Jackson Pollock is, google him. When you see his paintings and then look at the comic again, you'll shit bricks. Lego-shaped bricks. I'm actually a fan of Lego sculpting. I've seen some pretty amazing sculptures. The best one being Stephen Colbert. Awesome. Just awesome. Until Thursday folks.

2008-08-14T10:33:00.003-05:00

It's good to have a friend like that, no? Too bad it doesn't work that way for guys. If a guy flashed the pizza delivery person, whether it be man or woman, bad things would ensue. Emphasis on the sue. But in conclusion, that is why we love Jacqi. She gets us free pizza. And if you're interested in the new movie, Repo! The Genetic Opera, you can check out its website. I can't wait. Until Monday.

2008-08-11T11:59:00.002-05:00

It's funny, cause it's true...Tim totally just learned how to play the Mortal Kombat theme on his piano. It can get old, as was alluded to in today's comic. In other news, I have a new custom figure for sale. This time it's a movie Scarecrow figure from The Dark Knight. Check it out and bid if you're interested. Until Thursday folks.

2008-08-07T11:58:00.002-05:00

I really hate that commercial. Then again, I hate most commercials. Although, they are ripe with giving me ideas for comics. It's...a conundrum. Ah well, best not to think about it I suppose. No other real news today...kinda boring. So until Monday. Have a nice weekend.

2008-08-04T16:39:00.001-05:00

Got back from vacation today. It was great to see all my friends again. I'm sad I had to leave, but I know I'll see them again. Very soon. The Dark Knight was amazing. Everything about the movie ruled, even though Two-Face wasn't done exactly right. It had perfect casting, and the writing was superb. Can't wait for the next one. Until Thursday.

2008-07-31T02:02:00.003-05:00

See? Bet you guys didn't think I'd ever explain that...but I did. So there. The vacation is going great. I'll be back on Monday, with tons of ideas for future comics. Here's something I forgot to mention the other day. My friend made this video for the Mint Condition one year spectacular! It's quite an amazing video. Makes me proud of this last year's work. I love it.

2008-07-28T15:33:00.002-05:00

Sometimes relationships are hard to maintain at a long distance...in which case the inevitable happens. But there's always a remedy for a rejected man. Bitches...and lots of 'em. That's about it for now.

2008-07-24T00:50:00.002-05:00

Yep. You read right. It's been a year. Hard to believe, eh? A year already. It's been fun. But I'm not even close to being done. So let's go another year...and hopefully many more. Thanks to all the fans and even thanks to the fans I've yet to gain yet. I just blew your minds. Well, that's about it. I'm tired as hell right now, so I think I'm going to bed. Until Monday, and hopefully next year!

2008-07-21T08:23:00.001-05:00

Yeah Jimmy is pretty much up for anything. We've abused that right many times over the years. So I'm about to head off to Dallas. I'll be gone for 2 weeks. The comics will still update as usual as well as the blog entries. So rest assured. And when I get back I'll probably have a years' worth of material. And just let me say, go see The Dark Knight. Greatest. Movie. Ever. Made. That is all. Until next time.

2008-07-17T10:37:00.000-05:00

What's this? New Character? Yep. You'll have to wait to get the full story on him...in other news, I'd like to congratulate the winners of the Brainiac and Duke Nukem customs. Also, The Dark Knight comes out tomorrow...I've been waiting for that movie since I first saw Batman Begins in the theatre. So...I'm definitely looking forward to it. Also, I'll be on vacation for the next 2 weeks starting Monday. But everything will regularly update. Until next time.

2008-07-14T11:14:00.002-05:00

It's true...look at that thing. It could put an eye out. Sheesh. Just to let you all know, my auctions are still going for my BrainI.A.C. and Duke Nukem custom figures on eBay. The bidding seems to be going well. If you're interested, check 'em out. The bidding ends Wednesday. Until Thursday.

2008-07-10T10:27:00.004-05:00

Before anyone asks, I know that "The Incredible" in the title is spelled wrong. Don't point it out. Because it's not spelled wrong, it's spelled in Dutch. Remember, John is in Belgium right now...so the title would be different. And in case anyone is interested, I'm auctioning off 2 custom figures I made on eBay. That's right, I customize just like Nathan. One is Brainiac from Smallville, and the other is Duke Nukem. If you're interested, check 'em out.

2008-07-07T11:05:00.001-05:00

Get it? Because nobody likes America!!! Haha...everybody hates us...Just in case you were wondering, that's another real photo of a Belgian city taken by Sara. Again there's no way my hands could have done the real Belgian cityscape any semblance of justice. In other news, apparently I have a 12 year old fanbase...who knew? So to Chelsea and all her friends...thanks for reading. Until next time.

2008-07-03T10:19:00.004-05:00

I know, I know, the background is cheating...but there's no way I could have done the Belgian cityscape justice with a pencil. That's a photo Sara took of the city. It's really beautiful. I was in awe of the architecture and landscape most of the time. In other news, I plan to see Hancock this weekend. Should be fun. And I'll be going on vacation later this month...but don't worry the comics will still update. Until next time.

2008-06-30T11:13:00.001-05:00

So this is it...John reaches Belgium. There's always a ton of people waiting at an airport to greet someone. And yes, Buddha H. Christ is a real deity...I think. It says somewhere in the Bible or something...anyway, that's all I really got for now. Until next time.

2008-06-26T11:11:00.000-05:00

Just so we're clear, that isn't a photo of clouds in the background...I made those in photoshop. Boo-ya. Second of all, I never threw anyone out of a plane...that anyone hasn't proven. Thirdly, I have encountered creatures on the wings of planes, and destroyed them. I am awesome. And that is all. Until next time.

2008-06-23T11:25:00.002-05:00

For those who have never been to an airport, they do make you take all of that off...it's annoying, but I suppose necessary. And now we end the teasing and finally John is off to Belgium! So stay tuned for the coming weeks to see what he does. Until Thursday.

2008-06-19T11:47:00.002-05:00

What??? Not again? Damn it Nathan, you silly billy...but yeah turns out he did it again. So this should be fun. And yes, John is off to Belgium. What will happen? Will he cause an international incident? Well...probably...but to be sure you'll just have to keep reading. In other news I woke up this morning with my neck hurting. So this day is going to suck...until next time folks.

2008-06-16T10:28:00.002-05:00

All things considered, I don't look half-bad in a dress...apparently...in the comic I mean...I've never worn a dress...ah crap. Alright, so everybody look right into the red light. What you saw was nothing more than swamp gas reflecting light off Venus...or something. Anyway, the truth is out there. Until next time. P.S. The Incredible Hulk was an awesome movie.

2008-06-12T10:31:00.001-05:00

See? I told you...it's all a part of the plan. And just to let you all know, this story arc is based on true events. Which might make today's comic even funnier since it's an actual conversation I had with her...until next time.

2008-06-09T11:06:00.001-05:00

That is practically my whole day. Or most of it, anyway. I try to do more with my day now, but um...I don't wanna. That's about all I have for now. And before you ask, yes this is part of the current story arc. I haven't broken from it. It's all a part of the plan...until next time.

2008-06-05T10:20:00.002-05:00

Boy, I really went all out on making it look like a restaraunt, eh? So now that John has seemed to royally screw up that date, where will this story arc go next? Well you'll have to keep reading to find out. In other news, some changes will be coming to the site. More about that in time. Until next time.

2008-06-02T11:11:00.002-05:00

So here it is, the start of a new story arc. Getting John a girlfriend. Will it be filled with laughably embarassing moments at my expense? Most likely. On a side note, if I could add lens flares and apply a motion blur to girls, they would be at least 10 times more awesome than they already are. Until next time.

2008-05-29T11:01:00.002-05:00

Yes, it's a rehash, but I don't care. It's hilarious and you know it. I kind of made this week movie reference week without saying anything. But I reference so many movies anyway who would be able to tell the difference? Anyway, that's about it for now. Come back Monday, I'm starting up a new story arc. Until next time.

2008-05-27T11:05:00.002-05:00

The new Indiana Jones movies was actually awesome. It made me feel like a kid again, and when a movie does that you know it's successful. That being said, I still can never resist making an old person joke. Teehee. And in case you missed it last time, my friend has uploaded a movie we made back in high school. It's pretty fun. Death or Something Like It. Enjoy. And, until Thursday, my good readers.

2008-05-22T10:43:00.003-05:00

Wacom tablets scare me. Call me old fashioned, call me poor...but I don't trust 'em. I'm too traditional to use them...for now at least. Maybe when I sell out I'll be ready to partner with the soulless machine that is...the Wacom Tablet. Also, I'd like to point out a movie I made with some friends a couple of years ago...he uploaded it to youtube. Here it is, Death or Something Like It...enjoy. And Until next time.

2008-05-19T11:00:00.001-05:00

I really shouldn't procreate. But I am curious to see what kind of evil I can spawn. And I would be nice to my kids...as long as they kept their fucking hands off my shit. I mean...that's just disrespectful. Until next time.

2008-05-15T10:34:00.001-05:00

If only college was that easy...sure it's not as hard as I expected, but it's not THAT easy...a word of advice to anyone about to start college...don't buy the textbooks. It's a ripoff. I passed this last year without buying a single book...seriously, just look everything up online. Stick it to the book publishers. That's about it for now. FIGHT THE POWER!!!

2008-05-12T11:36:00.002-05:00

We've all been there...studying until we fall asleep. It's not very fun. Oh, and if you don't get the joke then I'm not explaining it to you. Go read Dante's Divine Comedy...or else. And just so you all know, I'm really proud of the way I rendered the dream. It's a new technique I was testing out, and I'm mighty pleased with the results. Until next time.

2008-05-08T10:56:00.002-05:00

Haha, get it? Get it...? It will come to you later I'm sure. If not, then just bite your tongue really hard and you'll see what I mean. But seriously, you should go see Iron Man if you haven't already. Definitely in the top 3 Marvel Movies of all time. Oh, and be sure to stay until after the credits. That's about all for now folks, until Monday.

2008-05-05T11:35:00.001-05:00

Aaaaaand, we're back. Seems like forever since I last did a normal Mint Condition comic...I almost forgot what this site was about. Sort of. Never mind. I had a long weekend, so you'll forgive the confusion. Come back thursday for more funny stuff. Until next time.

2008-05-01T10:38:00.003-05:00

The time has come my friends...the end. I know, I'm as sad as you, but look at it this way...next week will start up the normal Mint Condition comics. I know you've missed the antics of those idiots as much as I have. In other news, go check out Kyle Robinson Customs. He's an action figure customizer and a damn good one at that. I did that comic for him on his home page! And I'm mighty proud of it. Well, Until next time folks. P.S. Stallone totally copied me*----*Stallone didn't really copy me.

2008-04-28T11:14:00.001-05:00

Well folks, it's almost here. The end. What? No, not today. Thursday is the last chapter of the story. I think you'll be pleased with the ending. For now, enjoy today's comic. I know I will. Until next time, folks.

2008-04-24T07:53:00.002-05:00

And before you ask, no it's no coincidence that the Queen's fortress just happens to look like a certain palace in England. You know the one. Stonehenge or some shit like that...anyway, we're almost finished. Just one more week to go! What will happen? Tune in next week to find out.

2008-04-21T10:21:00.002-05:00

I promised action, and action I deliver. When will these Brits learn...you can't stop Ultimate Gandhi. He can't even stop himself. He tried once, and pulled a hamstring. True story. Read your history books. In other news, today is my birthday. Yep. I'm 20 now. Officially no longer a teenager. It feels...the exact same as before. Come back Thursday for more greatness. Until next time.

2008-04-17T07:49:00.001-05:00

The moment you've been waiting for is almost here. Ultimate Gandhi and Snake versus the entire British guard! What will be the outcome? You'll have to wait until next monday to find out. As for me? I'll be the one who keeps drawing these things. Until next time, folks.

2008-04-14T10:16:00.002-05:00

What?!?!? Him again?!?!?! Bet you didn't see that one coming...I'm going to sound pretentious as hell, but I don't care. I'm proud of that last panel. It's fucking beautiful. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Tune in Thursday to see what happens next in Escape.

2008-04-10T07:45:00.001-05:00

And welcome back True Belie-uh, um, I mean...viewers. This is part 2 of the Epic Ultimate Gandhi story arc, which will thus be refered to as "Escape" for short. I really like How Snake turned out in this. It surprised me. I don't have a whole lot to say about this, because like before anything could be a spoiler. So tune in next Monday for the exciting continuation. Excelsi-ah, goddamnit!

2008-04-07T10:03:00.001-05:00

And thus begins the month-long story arc. I told you it would be awesome. I can't say much about this because I'll give too much away. But you should all have seen the movie I'm referencing here. If not, then go rent it. Now. I won't even tell you what it is. You have to work for that shit. That's about it for now. Tune in Thursday for part 2.

2008-04-03T07:51:00.000-05:00

So if you couldn't tell, this is "cheap joke week". I feel this one is at least a bit less cheap than Monday's but still pretty damn cheap. But I don't care. Come back Monday. I can't tell you much, but I'm starting a HUGE month-long story arc. That's right. MONTH-LONG. So be prepared, because the month of April is going to be jammed pack of nut-busting awesomeness. Until next time.

2008-03-31T10:22:00.001-05:00

See? Add some political humor, and use bigs words like "viscous" and you have a high-brow poop joke. They said it couldn't be done, but I said NAY!!! In other news, I'm very happy that the Iron Man movie figures are starting to hit stores...you see, I'm a geek. I think action figures are cool. Luckily, so does my fiancee. So that all worked out. Anyway, tune in Thursday for some more greatness. Until next time.

2008-03-27T07:57:00.002-05:00

My friends and I are willing to buy a DeLorean and get pulled over by a cop just to do this...now if only we had the money to buy a DeLorean. So yeah, it's another "sketch comic", because I like doing these for certain one panel strips. I think it looks cool, and I'm sure you all like to see my art au natural. But that's about it for today, so come back on Monday for some more goodness.

2008-03-24T09:40:00.001-05:00

OH NO!!! Who is this mysterious clown P.I.?!?!?! Well, just keep your eyes peeled...In other news my Spring Break was great...I got caught up on LOTS of sleep...it was wonderful. That's about it for today kids. Tune in next time, same Mint time, same Mint channel.

2008-03-17T09:57:00.002-05:00

If you didn't see that coming, then you're obviously new to the comic...so welcome. Go check out the Incredible Hulk trailer. It's awesome. And while you're at it look at the other trailers on the list as well...That's about it for today. Join us Thursday for the conclusion.

2008-03-13T07:57:00.002-05:00

And we get a Bad Boys 2 quote and we're golden. And if you couldn't tell by now, I'm not really a dog person. And for those who didn't realize this was a story arc...well surprise. That's pretty much it for today. Not a lot going on. So until next time. Oh yeah, P.S. Do you believe in Harvey Dent?

2008-03-10T10:24:00.003-05:00

I honestly don't know why I put my character throuh so much torment...perhaps subconsciously I hate myself? Hm...couldn't be. I love myself. Oh well, I'm sure one day some therapist will jump for joy at the chance to examine my head. Anyway, you guys should keep checking out Clark Parker's site. It's still awesome. Nothing much else to say...see you later.

2008-03-06T07:37:00.003-06:00

This probably sums up their relationship pretty well actually...we have fighting, arguing about comics, and of course the occasional black eye. Although from what I know that didn't actually happen, but you never know right? Well that's about all for today...Except for these awesome new Watchmen pics. I seriously think I just went poo-poo in my panties...until next time folks.

2008-03-03T09:49:00.002-06:00

Thus was the story of the birth of Nathan's child...and it's not purely by happenstance that we look like some biblical scene with the way we're all standing around her, either. I'd also like to let you know that there are new forums on the site. I got rid of the old ones...I hated them. The new ones are awesome though. They even have an arcade. So make your new account there, and have fun. Until next time.

2008-02-28T08:14:00.001-06:00

I don't really have much to say today...blah blah blah, same old crap...um...go visit Clark Parker's site and catch up on the progress of his Model city. It's awesome stuff. As for me? Well I'm only going on a few hours of sleep right now, so I kinda feel like punching a kitten. Until next time...

2008-02-25T10:30:00.002-06:00

Yeah, remember when I said Willow was pregnant? Well...there ya go. And just so you know, Nathan isn't a neglectful husband/father...he was just playing Time Crisis at the time...that's not exactly a game you just TURN OFF. So yeah...cut the guy some slack. Until next time.

2008-02-21T08:09:00.001-06:00

Man, this comic has everything doesn't it? It's got politcal humor, it's got a cleverly crafted logo for a videogame store that may or may not look like something else...and it's got that shirt phrase...god I was so proud of that when I thought of it. One of these days that WILL be a t-shirt available to buy...I'll also have another phrase especially for women. Haha. Until next time folks.

2008-02-18T10:06:00.002-06:00

Rambo was an awesome movie. Seriously, if anyone doesn't rank it right after First Blood, they're wrong. Period. God that movie was incredibly violent which is what you hope for in Rambo right? Well it certainly didn't dissapoint...Oh and in case you didn't know, there's a trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It's awesome. Until next time.

2008-02-14T08:18:00.002-06:00

Ok, not a comic technically, but I felt it was necessary that you all saw how I actually take notes for school. This is how it's been since I can remember. I doodle more than I actually take notes. And I STILL pass! What do you think of that? That's right...I'm awesome. I also wanted to showcase a different drawing style I have other than the "Mint Condition" style, which is shown by the big monster. Just wanted you guys to know a little more about me. Until Monday.

2008-02-11T10:34:00.000-06:00

It's true...Trebek doesn't have a moustache anymore. I like how Batman is so in the lead despite his buzzer being broken. Or perhaps his buzzer was fine and he was so awesome that it just broke? Truly this is a question for the ages, and one that I am not worthy of answering. In other news, check out my good friend Clark Parker's model city he's building for his Marvel action figures. It's awesome. Until next time.

2008-02-07T08:11:00.000-06:00

I don't even think modern time keeping tools can measure how long it took me to get the Alien and Predator mobs to look right. It was seriously a bitch. But I love how it turned out. And in case you're wondering, I choose Predator. Something tells me Alien is just too inexperienced. Plus I don't agree with his policies and he's against gay marriage. Fucking conservative asswipes. Anyway enough of politics. Check this shit out. I'll see you guys on Monday.

2008-02-05T08:19:00.000-06:00

Uwe Boll sucks. AVP:R sucks. This comic rules. I rule as well. That is all. Until next time.

2008-01-31T10:18:00.000-06:00

You can find out which early comic I used for this yourselves. Now onto other news. I HATE CANADA. I live in Texas. I shouldn't have to wake up to a blizzard outside my window. It's Canada's fault for sending their cold air my way. Oh and there's a new forum up right now, so don't get too attached to the current one. Dim has yet to switch out the links, but there's no harm in letting you guys know about it now. Oh and two new shirts in the store based on this comic. Until next time.

2008-01-30T12:27:00.000-06:00

Ok there is now a new shirt in the store featuring the "Foundation" logo. Enjoy.

2008-01-28T09:55:00.000-06:00

You hear that? Don't bitch if it ain't free. That's all I'm sayin'. But speaking of the "Don't Bitch if You Don't Have to Pay Foundation"...new shirt design?

2008-01-24T07:59:00.000-06:00

First of all you may have noticed the site is different. That's a huge thanks to Dim McRemnant from the McRemnant Report. Also you may have been wondering if I would do a comic about Heath Ledger's death...I won't. If it were Jack Thompson or Uwe Boll I'd be all over that. But there's nothing funny about the death of a person I respected greatly. But I hope today's comic will make you laugh and help you forget the tragic loss of a truly great actor. Until next time.

2008-01-21T10:20:00.000-06:00

I love breaking the fourth wall. I've always wanted to do a comic where the panels snap underneath somebody. Teehee. That is all. Until next time.

2008-01-17T08:10:00.000-06:00

This comic is part of a larger "message". It won't be completly gotten until a couple of weeks from now when it's finished. You'll see what I mean. But as you can tell, I'm making fun of people who bitch about Webcomics. But like I said, it will make more sense in the coming weeks. Until next time.

2008-01-14T09:54:00.000-06:00

This isn't true. Really. I made this joke in real life though. Everyone thought it was funny. I could have changed the character who said it in the strip, but I find it amusing to see my character put in awkward situations...weird.

2008-01-10T08:12:00.000-06:00

See? Told you this would be up on Thursday. So, remember when I mentioned that my friends are so great, because I hardly ever have to make up something funny for the comic? Yeah, that's true here too. What Nathan's character said? Totally true story. Just thought you should know. Until Monday.

2008-01-08T10:56:00.000-06:00

Ok now the site is back to normal. I'm really sorry for all the "technical difficulties" lately. It's not because I don't have a comic ready, because I do, it's because something keeps happening to prevent the comic from being updated. But Dim and I will do everything we can to prevent it from happening again. Thursday's comic will be up as scheduled. Until next time.

2008-01-07T12:52:00.000-06:00

Sorry about the lack of update. Technical difficulties...again...starting to get really annoying...

2008-01-03T10:55:00.000-06:00

But seriously, New Year's resolutions are pretty stupid. It's the only time of the year that anyone takes a goal even a little bit seriously. And we all know nobody even goes through with their New Year's resolution. They just think about it for the first couple of weeks of January and then fuck off the rest of the year. Ok that's enough ranting for now. I'm back and will be updating the news regularly. Until next time.

2007-12-27T14:27:00.000-06:00

Sorry for the lack of news posts, but I haven't been able to access the internet until just now. I hope you enjoyed Ultimate Gandhi Saves Christmas as much as I did drawing it. Actually I hope you liked it more, because drawing it was a bitch. That is all. Until Monday.

2007-12-20T15:54:00.000-06:00

The site is back up and the comics are updated now. There is one for today, which you can see right above this. And there is also one for Monday that was missed right here (or just click the previous comic button).Sorry for the fuck up, but I hope you like the comics. It should be fine from now on. You know, until the next time it fucks up. Until next time.

2007-12-17T14:10:00.001-06:00

I can't believe this is happening again...The comic hasn't updated today. It's more technical difficulties with the site. It will be fixed shortly and should be regularly updated from here on out. Sorry. Maybe a link to the new Dark Knight trailer will make up for it a bit? I hope so...Until next time.

2007-12-13T09:30:00.000-06:00

If you don't get the reference in this comic, you really should be put to death. That's all I have to say about that. Onto other things, there's still no confirmation about my alleged G4 Attack of the Show television mention. But knowing me, I'm just going to assume it is real. Until next time.

2007-12-11T13:34:00.000-06:00

I love call backs. Once again thank you to Sara, my wondeful fiancee for suppling the story arc. Join us Thursday for the conclusion. Until next time folks.

2007-12-06T08:30:00.000-06:00

Nathan really doesn't believe in Evolution. Never mind the mounds of evidence that seem to say otherwise. A mound of evidence he clasifies as "bullshit". But I digress. Like I said on Monday, this story arc is all my fiancee Sara's idea. She's really funny, so I'll probably look to her more for ideas. I really like working together. Now I'm just being mushy...um...I like tits? And 'gina? Yeah that does it. Until next time.

2007-12-03T14:35:00.000-06:00

Yes, Mint Condition gets their learn on by going to the museum! And I can't really take credit for this story arc. That honor goes to my wonderful fiancee Sara who gave me the ideas for each of the comics in this story arc, save the last one which will be featured next Thursday. Now I'd like to apologize for the lack of podcast shows. I've been busy and so has Dim. We'll start up again soon though. Until next time.

2007-11-29T08:34:00.000-06:00

God I'm glad that's over...big kudos to Dim for fixing the site for me. Now you guys can see the greatness that is Ultimate Gandhi. These comics were bitches to finish, but damn it's worth it. I'll be using him more and more as time progresses. Until next time folks.

2007-11-26T13:27:00.000-06:00

I have to apologize for the latest comic...or lack thereof. It seems Dim McRemnant who is in charge of running my site has not uploaded the comics for this week yet. So now I'll just show you the comic via hyperlink. And I'd also like to apologize to the British for this one and Thursday's. But if you know your history, then you should know you guys fucked with him first. And Thursday's comic should be up no problem as well as today's comic. It just may show up later. But for now. Comic time.

2007-11-21T11:42:00.000-06:00

It seems someone has informed me that my comic was mentioned on G4's "Attack of the show" roughly 5 days ago. They assured me it wasn't just a use of the term "mint condition" but they actually talked about my comic while talking about the internet. I didn't watch it so I don't know if it's true or not, but if someone could confirm or deny this for me, that would be great. If it's true...then awesome. Until Monday.

2007-11-19T16:24:00.000-06:00

I don't really draw with my right nut. I have ambidexterity of the testicles. True story. And I won't be able to post anything on Thursday so I'll go ahead and say Happy Thanksgiving right now. I know I will.

2007-11-15T08:35:00.000-06:00

We're not really that much into Hentai, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't entertaining. And no that character won't be showing up again. I'm going to have all the "throw away" characters with dots for eyes. Kinda like in Star Trek how you can tell the extras are the ones with red shirts or something like that. Damn how did I know that? I fucking hate Star Trek. Until next time...

2007-11-12T13:54:00.000-06:00

Tim hasn't had a speaking line in a while and this is what I do to him? Oh well, it's funny right? I like jokes that break the fourth wall. So expect more of those. Not in vast abundance, but every now and then. Tonight I don't know if there will be a show. It may sound incredibly annoying, but there are more technical difficulties. If we can't work through them, then there can't be a show tonight. Until next time.

2007-11-08T08:39:00.000-06:00

I'll be honest and say I'm a little jaded at modern video games. Call me old fashioned, but I miss the days when you didn't need crazy graphics to equal a good game. That being said, I am looking forward to Grand Theft Auto 4...if they ever finish the damn thing that is. In other news, go check out a new episode of The View From Hell from DIErektor X. You can view it here. You'll laugh your ass off. Until next time.

2007-11-05T13:10:00.000-06:00

Who doesn't love talking about necrophilia? Or should it be unnecrophilia? Or livingnecrophilia??? Surely a question for the ages...well there's not a whole lot to say today. My fiancee is visiting me all the way from Belgium and she'll be here until the end of December. But don't worry I'll still keep up with the comic. And there are some difficulties with the show tonight so it may have to wait until tomorrow. But check in tonight at 8PM Central time anyway to see. Until next time.

2007-10-31T11:44:00.000-05:00

What's funny is this is true. Well sort of. Adam did scream about an empty tricycle, but he was drunk so he wasn't serious. Hope everyone out there has as fun of a Halloween as I usually do, and remember...don't ever get near a clown with a chainsaw. Have a Happy Halloween, and I'll see you on Monday with a new comic, and a new episode of the podcast. Until next time folks.

2007-10-29T09:59:00.000-05:00

Ah, Halloween...my favorite time of year. Which is why there will be a Mint Condition update today (obviously) and Wednesday (Halloween) instead of Thursday this week. This is a 2-parter, so that's why I'm doing it this way. In other news, don't forget to tune in to our show tonight at 8 PM Central time over on Talkshoe or call us at (724) 444-7444 EXT. 32443 anytime during show hours. Until Wednesday folks, get ready for Halloween!

2007-10-25T08:32:00.000-05:00

Gotta love a good Reservoir Dogs reference...I know I do. In other news...actually, that's about all I got today. Except for one thing. If you watched the Scream Awards on Spike the other night, you might have caught the trailer for Repo! The Genetic Opera. If not, I suggest you click here. It's a Rock Horror Opera. Created by the director of 3 of the 4 Saw movies. And it has Tony Head (Giles from Buffy) in it. I can't wait for it to come out April 25th. Well, until next time folks.

2007-10-22T13:02:00.000-05:00

A 6-part story arc??? Damn that's epic. I'm talking epic on par with Homer. He wishes he could be as epic as I am. In other news, there will be a new episode of the McRemnant Report/Mint Condition Hour on Talkshoe. Or call (724) 444-7444 EXT. 32443 anytime between 8-9PM Central Time. Hope to talk to you then. Until next time.

2007-10-18T11:42:00.000-05:00

Needless to say, this didn't actually happen. But damn if it wouldn't have been funny...I want to say thanks to any and all who listened in on the show the other night. We had a lot of fun. Even though we talked about Zac Efron a lot. Haha. That's about it for today. I'm just enjoying my Fall Break from College. Other than that, look forward to Monday's comic for The Conclusion. Until next time.

2007-10-15T10:21:00.000-05:00

This is sort of true. It was actually Nathan's brother, but there was no Imperial March. Though there were Han and Leia figures on top of the cake. Tune in on Thursday for Part 5. And tune in tonight at 8 PM Central time on Talk Shoe and listen in on the McRemnant Report and the Mint Condition Hour. That will be our kept schedule. Every Monday at 8 PM Central time. Call in if you like, it should be a lot of fun. Until next time.

2007-10-12T14:18:00.000-05:00

Ah yes, the ever infamous bachelor party. Funny thing is he didn't really have one, but I just really wanted to see Adam drunk and pass out. In other news Dim McRemnant and I will possibly be doing our second live podcast tonight around 8PM Central time. Just go over to Talk Shoe around that time and look for The McRemnant Report Hour. You can listen in or even be a live caller if you want. It should be fun.

2007-10-11T08:17:00.000-05:00

Ah yes, the ever infamous bachelor party. Funny thing is he didn't really have one, but I just really wanted to see Adam drunk and pass out. Sure I could have done it at the wedding, but somehow it would feel inappropriate. Which I know sounds weird coming from me, but it's just how I am. In other news, I would just like to say that the new season of Heroes sucks, but Boston Legal, Smallville, and Supernatural aren't dissapointing so far. Now I just have to wait for the new season of Scrubs...anyway come back monday for part 4 of Nathan's Wedding. Until next time.

2007-10-08T10:07:00.000-05:00

With the exception of the last two panels, this is pretty much how it all went. I don't even need to make shit up. My friends' lives are hilarious enough. So that thing I said I might be going to is this year's 24 Hour Comic Day. I thought I was going, but it turns out I'm not. But Dim McRemnant will be there so you can go cheer him on. I'm not sure where it's being held yet. Somewhere in Dallas. There will be more events for me to visit I'm sure. In the meantime, I CAN'T WAIT FOR HALLOWEEN!!! That is all. Until next time.

What's This? Starting another story arc right after the last one?!?!? Why yes, that's exactly what it is. Now I'm sure some of you are scratching your heads wondering how Nathan is getting married when he apparently doesn't even have a girlfriend in the comics. Well, don't worry, all questions will be answered on Monday's comic. Oh and as for that surprise, it turns out it's not going to happen. Which kinda bums me out. Send cheerful emails. Until next time.

The Shocking Conclusion! There. Are you shocked and awed? Is your life changed forever? I certainly hope so. I decided to do this one just in pencils to give all of you a sense of what my comics are like au natural. Hope you like it. Now, If you don't know what Clash of the Titans is then why are you reading this? You should go out, rent the damn movie, and enjoy 80's stop motion skeleton goodness. Or else. In other news, there may be something special coming up, but I'm not sure, so I can't give anything away...yet. Until next time.

In case you missed it, there's Mine and Dim McRemnant's first live podcast ever. Just go to The McRemnant Report. More live shows will be scheduled and we will let you know in case you want to listen in or give us a call. Also you should check out Dierektor X's Youtube site, Of Doom Productions. He's who we talked to on the show. Funny shit. Other than that I hope you're enjoying Part 3 of the Sci-Fi Con story arc. Stay tuned for the shocking conclusion on Monday. Until next time.

2007-09-26T10:30:00.000-05:00

I usually wait for an update for the comic when I make a news post, but today I just had to say that I had my first live Podcast. You may know that Dim McRemnant from The McRemnant Report and I have our own Podcast show, but last night we did our first live show. And we had our first caller. It's a lot of fun, and I suggest you all hear it. Unless you want to be in cahoots with the terrorists. That's right. Cahoots. But anyway, just go over to The McRemnant Report, click on episode 6 on the Talkshoe applet, and have a listen. Until next time.

Part 2 of this story arc that rivals The Odyssey...ok maybe not THAT much, but I like it. Geeks out there should definitely get why Billy Dee Williams is saying what he's saying. In comic book news, World War Hulk seems to be shaping up nicely. And the new Spider-Man cartoon looks like every other cartoon these days...dumb. I miss the MTV Spider-Man cartoon. I must be one of maybe 2 people who liked it though. In other news...well there really isn't much more to say. Still trying to make those changes, which are harder than I previously thought.

2007-09-20T08:20:00.000-05:00

What could this be??? The vague start to the first story arc of the series?!?!? Why yes it is in fact. The story arc which will unfold before you in the next week, will be one of mysticism and wonder. Or it will just be an arc about us going to a Sci-Fi Con...you be the judge. On another note go to the cast page and scroll down. Ultimate Gandhi has his own bio now. Now something I'm really looking forward to comic-wise is this. Well, that's all the news now folks. Tune in next week for part 2 of this epic story arc.

2007-09-17T09:49:00.000-05:00

This one is kind of an inside joke, since they used to break up a LOT. I was trying to make fun of them and it worked. But I figured since Jacqi is Adam's on-again off-again girlfriend it would be ok to introduce her in this way. I'm pretty sure they actually like this one. Also notice the big tear and patching on the couch from, I dunno...a chainsaw? Haha I plan on keeping the continuity of the couch throughout the series. Just a fun little thing. In other news, it looks like O.J. Simpson's been arrested again...I hope he doesn't spend too much time behind bars so he can go back to looking for the real killer of his wife.

2007-09-13T08:12:00.000-05:00

What?!?!?! Ultimate Gandhi?!?!?! That's right the time has finally come for Ultimate Gandhi. Fun fact though: There are 2 Evil Dead references in this comic. If you can't guess them, you're a terrorist. Now for those of you scratching your heads and saying "What the hell is this?" Go HERE. I'll be putting up a character bio for Ultimate Gandhi very soon and plan to use him regularly in the strip. But in his own continuity of course. That's all for now, and remember Ultimate Gandhi: When he's not in meditating, he's out decimating! Oh well, I'm working on it. Until next time.

2007-09-11T14:58:00.000-05:00

I just saw the Iron Man teaser online and thought it was great. Robert Downey Jr. seems like he's going to be an awesome Tony Stark. The only annoying part was that they actually used the Ozzy song "Iron Man" in the teaser. I'm sure it won't be in the movie though. That would be too cheesy. But if you want to see the teaser yourself, go here: Iron Man Teaser 2008 is going to be a great year for comic book movies. Until next time.

2007-09-10T09:49:00.000-05:00

The introduction of Jeremy. Not much on an introduction, but I like it. A new twist on a classic. And I'm really proud of the way I drew the steering wheel going out on control in the last panel. It's all "WHOOSH!" Hehe...so other than that, not really any news right now. I have 3 t-shirt designs finished. I can't show them to you yet, but I will say one is for "Malevolent" and the other is for "Ultimate Gandhi." Keep your eyes peeled.

2007-09-06T08:17:00.001-05:00

Ah yes...I actually remember having this conversation with Nathan. Good times. He still stands firm on the subject of differentiating geeks from nerds and dorks. In other news, those clever so-and-so's over at CNN.com have just confirmed a shocking new study. Take a look for yourself http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/09/04/dating.mating.ap/index.html All I'm saying is maybe they should focus on curing cancer instead?

2007-09-04T08:18:00.001-05:00

Well that was a long weekend. Good to be back though. Hope everyone had a nice Labor Day. I have some actual news today. In a few weeks, Dim McRemnant, the Webmaster for this site, will be changing it. According to him it will be, and I quote "Even more awesome." You heard it hear first folks. Look forward to a more awesome site in the next few weeks. Until next time.

2007-08-30T08:06:00.000-05:00

This one is also a true story. No, I'm not a vampire...just a geek. Everyone knows geeks don't get too much sun, so if they stand outside for long periods of time(seconds) then they will in fact burst into flames. That's science, and you can't argue that. Now, on to news...I really don't have any. Still working on t-shirt designs. That's about it. Until next time.

2007-08-27T10:06:00.000-05:00

First off I'll say that this is based on a true story. Though it didn't end with a comic store being trashed. But knowing Adam...anyway, the second thing I'll tell you is to keep your eyes peeled for Ultimate Gandhi. That's all I'll say about that for now. Other than that I am working on different T-shirt designs. More on that later. Until next time.

2007-08-23T08:01:00.001-05:00

So here it is. The big Thursday update. This is how it will be from now on here at Mint Condition. Until I decided to update more, but I have no idea when that will be. So until then, enjoy me making fun of anime with this strip. Until next time.

2007-08-22T10:45:00.000-05:00

I hate technical difficulties...they're always so "techincal" and "difficult." Thanks to Dim for fixing the problem. This is why he takes care of the techinal stuff and all I do is draw the purdy pictures. Well Until next time folks.

2007-08-22T10:43:00.001-05:00

2007-08-21T19:56:00.000-05:00

The problem has now been FIXED! I was updating servers and got folders mixed up, that's how this problem came to be...

2007-08-21T15:23:00.000-05:00

Shit...it seems that the site for Mint Condition and the site for the McRemnant Report have fused together...probably the result of Dim McRemnant being the webmaster for both sites...I'm not sure what happened, but I'll talk to him about sorting it all out.

2007-08-20T10:08:00.000-05:00

First of all, a cookie goes to whoever can guess all the parts of the amalgamated action figure in the last panel. Secondly, there is an actual announcement I'd like to make. Starting this week Mint Condition will be updating twice a week. Mondays and Thursdays. If something happens to prevent the second update for the week you will be informed. Until next time.

2007-08-15T13:09:00.001-05:00

Hello everyone. Just wanted to let you all know that Dim McRemnant from The McRemnant Report called me up the other day to record a podcast. So if you're interested in hearing me rant about comics and stuff, go check it out. Just follow the link at the bottom of the page. Until next time.

2007-08-15T04:40:00.000-05:00

Just to let everyone know, I do believe I just made the site completely viewable on both Firefox AND Internet Explorer. We were having some trouble getting the news box to view right on IE, but I got it working. Also made it so the comments come up in a popup window, which makes it much easier to handle.

2007-08-13T10:31:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone. I just wanted to say how glad I am to have recieved so many positive comments already about the comic. Less than a week and I already have a lot of fans. I've been told "MALEVOLENT!" would make a great T-shirt. I'll keep that in mind. Well, until next week.

2007-08-10T18:51:00.000-05:00

I got a working news box on this great comic, Mint Condition. Most of the time, it'll be John talking on here, but every once and while, I'll add a news post as the webmaster if there is a new add-on to the site or whatnot. Awesome.
