Getting What You Deserve.
Finally! That damn hobo got what he deserved!
OH! QUICK BOOK UPDATE!! - Looks like I got the e-mail alert that the books have shipped from the printer. I’m hoping they come here Wednesday or Thursday and then they are off in the mail to all of you guys– including the people waiting for multi-book orders that wanted to wait for issue 5 to come in. Thanks for being patient! I’ll blog here when they’re all sent out.
Hope everyone is enjoying the story playing out. My wife said I spent too much time on the Hobo, but I thought the pacing was right…. however she got to read ahead a little bit with the other club members and said she’s satisfied. But what the heck does she know about sequential art! BAH! heh….
Ok, so, this “Prologue” I’m writing out is a bit longer than I thought it would be. As I write things out, I feel the need to show more about the Deacon character (Drew’s Dad) so that things that are coming much later on will be really cool and you can kinda understand where this guy is coming from. I don’t want to say too much, but there’s a bit more of Deacon’s story coming your way.
I was joking around with a friend who e-mailed and said they were digging the storyline thing and didn’t miss the gag strips really at all. I told him that maybe I’ll just write out the characters complete lives, like you’ll get to see Drew as a kid, little stories that made him the jaded hermit he is today! I don’t want to make it too autobiographical or BORING. Most of those types of stories get boring after awhile. My goal with this is just to entertain you daily in a different way than just the usual IN THE TOILET material. We know I can do that. I feel kinda lucky that I don’t have any current “deals” or contractual obligations, so it allows me to NOT make with funny every day and I can experiment and try to push myself to do something I’ve been wanting to do for some time now.
Generally, I think Video Blogs are kinda gay– but I had a funny idea to comb my fro all the way out and do a “FRO-CAST” from the tiki bar. I am lacking the proper type of camera or setup to do that sort of thing though. But the term FRO-CAST makes me want to do it. Hahhaha… I won’t though. But wow— FRO CAST.

You should really copyright that name, Fro-Cast, before someone grabs it. Hell, I’m tempted to myself…:D

frocasting… shortly followed by the wave of copycats: hawkcasting, baldcasting, and up-docasting (exclusive to expensive wedding planners and their prey).
heh heh - i just substituted the word “Fro” for “Ring” in the poem of the One Ring…

Ok, DID NOT see that strip coming.

IT WAS YOU!
My train hit a guy last night and my trip turned into 3 hours of hell.
Major bad karma on you!

I didn’t see that coming, either. Good!
I don’t know about God, but that TRAIN sure sorted him out. In reverse alphabetical order of parts.

Mmmm.. Hot, fresh hobo-soup. Just the way gramma used to make!
Keep it going DJ, I’m digging the continuing story.

There was a story out of Malaysia about a guy getting killed by a train in the same spot his father was killed on 8 months prior.

Well, THAT was unexpected.
Until the Drama Llama does Hamlet, make mine Marv - er, Yirmumah!

Bitchin’ storyline, dude. Keep it up.
“Fro-Cast”…that needs to be done…!

What’s this fascination people seem to have with eating hobos? Hobo soup, hobo salsa, hobos for dinner… It turns my stomach. No matter how much I wash them, or how long they’ve been buried. Must be all the beans they eat.
“Frocast” sounds like a frizzy version of Medusa from the Inhumans. Whose arch enemy would be “Dread Locks”. Their battles are hair-raising. (Oh, great, now I can’t stop thinking of tonsorial comic book parodies. Hairdevil. Super-Cuts, strange scissorer from another planet. The Brotherhood of Evil Moussants, led by Mulleto. The Gee Your Hair Smells Fantastic Four. The Legion of Super-Hairdos, led by Hairbrainiac VO5…)

oh snap! another hobo destroyed by the jesus express. Yeah I didn’t see that coming either, I was waiting for god to fail the little kid and have him turn into the cold beer chugging athiest biker of doom. I guess that could still happen.
July 11th, 2006 at 12:38 pm
know what the last thing to go through the hobo’s mind was? his arse (joke stolen from the long way round)
July 11th, 2006 at 1:18 pm
Fro-Cast? Sounds FRO-TASTIC!!!!

Two things: I love your comic, and I might die at the Rob Zombie & Anthrax concert tonight in Omaha (well Council Bluffs, but they don’t count). $36.00 to see greatness, and be in a pit for six hours! YAAAAAAAHHHH!
