The Pile, part two

The Pile 2

I’m exhausted! I’ve been painting for a week and half at the new house, tearing up old carpet, blah blah blah. In other words.. THE SUCK!

I’m taking today and devoting it entirely to artwork, some days after working all day physically, it’s hard to stay up until 2am catching up, but hey, I won’t let you guys and gals down. The busyness will pass, and so shall stand Yirmumah when the dust settles.

Man, what a bummer. I just found out Dave Cockrum passed away. Some of my own first memories of picking up a comic, were drawn by him. 63 years old….. dammit, that’s too young. I hate Death. That final ending… that bitter cold coming. The unknown. I guess maybe the “unknown” is maybe the only thing that makes it kinda comforting and not to worry about it. Young deaths are a reminder to me to live every single day doing what you love or at least trying hard. Sure, saving all that money up for security is fine, but treat yourself, god darnit. You totally can’t take it with you when you go.

Follow your heart. Dave Cockrum did.

Hey, thanks to all the sponsors below as well. I’ve kinda gotten back up to date on dates and whatnot, and I think those who sent in payments without reminders! Makes my life easier… thanks for your support!

Back to the drawing board!

    OMFG BOB GOT ACTION!!! And it doesn’t involve him crying!!

  2. Crazeyal Says:

    *blink*
    I actually think that’s something Bob would have written himself…
    I just might like the new hired help!
    *internalizes comment that it actually IS Bob*
    *realizes he was typing*

    D’OH!

  3. Crazeyal Says:

    And DAMN…

    She’s either REALLY good or it’s been a while since Bob’s had himself some crackwhore!!!

    From, my experiences, it’s usually the latter..

    er..

    I mean..

    Uh..

    Yah…

    *runs*

    -continued from previous thread…

    Well…I’m not saying I think Fayette Co. is like Mayberry or anything. I guess it’s just that crack whores tend to be an urban (as in city) ‘idea.’ is all. I’m just saying a crack whore in the leaves is more discordant than I find funny. See, now you have me using big words. Now, a crack whore turning tricks at the food court….

    But anyway…I look forward to seeing more! I’m not giving up on Yirmumah. Her BJ’s are too good and free!

    Hmm… just did a little more research. I guess if I were shooting for greater addict authenticity, it’d be more appropriate to make our fellating squatter a “meth whore”. Appears that meth, like everywhere else in the country, is the fastest growing addiction out there these days.

    Meth Whore… actually sounds funnier too. :lol:

  6. Sean Says:

    That’s odd. I was going to mention how it’s more likely that we have Meth whores down here where I live (Southern Maryland). Crack never really caught on.

    Got Meth?

  7. Wiz Rollins Says:

    Well, there ya go. I’m gonna leave it up to DJ to decide whether we retroactively edit the last two strips, replacing “crack whore” with the more accurate “meth whore”.

    The more I think “meth whore” the more I chuckle…

  8. The Castro Says:

    Does Bob ever get mad you use him in the comics still?

    That’s what I really want to know, oh and do you think he’d sue you over it?

  9. DJ Says:

    The real Bob and I have been on good speaking terms for over a year, we just never worked together. While he can’t sue me for anything since it’s not REALLY him– I imagine we could have gotten in a fist fight all these years. It’s been about … 8 years of Yirmumah now all together.

    I’ve tried to not put in his own personal life at all… the bob character is just the twisted, anti-man that everyone loves or loves to hate on.
