Murphy’s Law

This joke here is the reason I wanted to have the guys go around the world and do wacky things.

I knew I was going to have George constantly being a thorn in John’s side… and the ability for John’s dorkiness to screw over George was something I wanted to have happen.

When I was in college and living in an apartment with my buddy, Andy, we’d take walks to Burger King and the like…. I’d take routes that I knew had city bus stops so I could do the “I want the knife” spin to the bus route map thingy on a pole.

I laughed every time.

Andy laughed the first few times.

For whom the Bells toll

In all seriousness… this comic exists for the first three panels.

That’s the part that I find funny.

The last two panels are just explanation and a kinda funny joke at George’s expense.

When I started planning out the World Tour locations, I had the idea that Bigfoot was in the Himalayas visiting his family and there’d be some mistaken identity. I just wanted to put the guys in parkas based on their colors and have some fun… So, you get today’s comic.

There were a few different endings for it over the course of the prep work for the soul search storyline, but, realistically the joke for today is in the first half of the comic. I get that.

My sister is getting married Saturday, September 11th and hopefully a bouquet isn’t accidentally caught by yours truly in some wacky life imitating art kinda deal.

The Aghori part 2

John and George took up the Aghori monk on his offer to come to the feast.

I wanted to play around with some fire effects so I placed a campfire in the foreground and we’re seeing the sparks and glow from it. I think it kinda works. Fire is hard to get ‘right’.

Folks enjoyed the gross out on John in the last comic’s panel four, so I did it again with this one. Hope you enjoyed it too.

As a bit of technical trivia… this comic had me using the largest brush to do the line work to date. I jumped up to a 12 point brush in Photoshop. It’s part of my attempt to get a wider variety of line width into Zombie Roomie. It’s difficult to see since the comic is a dark scene, but I like the way it turned out.
