This cover was inspired by the title card for "Big House Blues." The pilot episode for Ren and Stimpy. Many things in this forthcoming short little tale was stolen from Ren and Stimpy...

Reworking of a previous strip. Still the same sick joke. This will be the last "egg" pun for a while...(maybe)

This is something totally different. I just wanted to see how it would turn out. I have mixed feelings on it. It is not nearly as "clean" as I hoped, but I'm not really an "artist." Also on a related note, I'm looking for artists.

A little inappropriate for a university newspaper, so read on with caution...

This is going to be a slight continuation from the previous post. Last week I had a few screen shots from "Bugs Bunny Gets The Boid." This week we are going to do The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror V. One of the very few Simpsons episode where you will find Homer looking like this:

Fans of The Simpsons will instantly recognize this scene from Treehous of Horror V "The Shinning." It is one of the most memorable moments from the series. My theory on why is because Homer was allowed to look crazy, he was allowed to look like an animated cartoon verses the "always on model" look you get in every episode. I think John Kricfalusi (Ren and Stimpy) said it best when he recently mentioned on his blog that The Simpsons "is perfect." I agree, it is perfect. This may explain why one of my favorite seasons of the series is the first season.

The first season just plain looks strange. The way the characters developed from the first to the second season is remarkable...and they haven't changed a bit since then. There are oddities in the first season, the characters are not 100% "on model" but this gives the first season a unique feel that no seasons since have had. I'm strictly talking from an animation stand point, there are definite staples in each season that define it, but I feel that stems more from the writing and stories. Fans of the series can tell a "2nd season" episode from a "3rd season" episode, but nothing sticks out more than a "first season" episode. I have another great example from The Simpsons of Homer being allowed to just look crazy, to really annimate. I will find it soon and post it. If anyone has some good examples please let me know or add them in the comments or something.

Love,
Doug

There is hardly anything creative about this comic. It is solely based off my love of the classic Warner Brothers cartoons of the 1940's and 50's.

This brings me to a post I have kind of wanted to do for a while. One of my favorite shorts of all time is "Bugs Bunny gets the Boid" a Bob Clampett cartoon from 1942. Bob Clampett cartoons have some of the craziest expressions you will ever see, including anything you may see in Ren and Stimpy.

These are a few screen caps from the short. Notice how Bugs starts off reading the book, and how quickly his expressions change and how crazy they look.

This probably isn't the best example, but a good one from one of my favorite cartoons. So without further ado, here it is "Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid."

This is a case where the title for this comic spawned the actual comic...which isn't as funny as the title in my opinion. Sorry.

Its often hard to judge a book by its' cover, but if the book is covered like a slut...

Now it's not my place to judge people, that's reserved for God. But it would be refreshing to see a girl in maybe a cute little jacket and maybe a cute little skirt, the real long flowie kind...

What? Don't look at me like that! So I like a well put together outfit that leaves a little something to the imagination. Is that so wrong?

This is really quite a cop out, but the comic I wanted to do is not appropriate for the news paper. Which if fine, in fact it's probably a good idea. So instead this is like a "choose your own adventure" kind of thing. If you want to see the real one I wanted to do, you have come to the right place, if not, then I hope you enjoyed your stay. Now on with the show....

This is actually a re-work of an idea I had a while ago. And is actually quite similar to the original idea. The only real change is the "punch-line" I changed the way the text reads on the cross. I'm not sure if it gets the joke across better or not.
