A Comic Is Spoken About Here

So it seems my latest comic is up. I apologize again for making so few comics so far this year. Hopefully, I will catch up on them as the months go on. I think I've only done two in 2005. But this last one took about 2 weeks to make, from the moment I made up the plot to the moment I scanned it all in and sent it to Jeremy. Of course, some of that time was spent mapping out Unicorn Valley in a fairly detailed way, and then creating a scale version of it in Sim City 4. But I viewed all of that as very essential work, so that I could get the overhead scene of the town in the first panel as accurate as possible. And now, all future scenes of Unicorn Valley will only get more and more accurate and detailed because I plan on making more and more maps. For some reason. I understand that it's kind of weird, but I am enjoying myself.

Speaking of "kind of weird" and "enjoying myself," I must say that this last comic is one of my favorites so far. The plot was developed in a haze of rambling to Trev while listening to a song by Ministry. It seems that if I were to make a song while being influenced by "N.W.O." this is the comic I would make. I thought it was a kind of silly plot that wouldn't amount to anything and would CERTAINLY not be interesting or funny enough, but I decided to try it anyway. Also, Trev said that I should make it just to prove it can be done. And you know how I am when I've got something to prove.

Some of you may remember XV being in that one comic with Frizoo and the Aye-aye. He claims to have died in that last scene, where the centipedes spill out of his head. I have decided that it was wrong to kill of XV so quickly, so it has been officially decided that he was being melodramatic when he said "I die." He was really saved and stitched up at the area hospital, and can be seen in the background of one panel, playing chess with Tiny Fortune and sipping a coffee. He has a scar on his head where the aye-aye got him, and that scar will probably remain for some time.

I just wanted to let you all know what was going on and if anyone had noticed, now they won't suspect that they had just seen his ghost playing chess and relaxing.

This comic introduced many new characters, and many older characters had their little cameo appearances. Worthy of note is Mark, who shouts that the Devil is to blame. Our friend Mark recently decided that he had not been represented in my comics enough at all. He demanded some time be made for him, since his last known appearance was when the old woman had wet herself and the surrounding elevator. Poor Kyle. ... Actually Kyle is the guy who shouts about the dragon flying out of the window. His face is partially obscured by his arm, so I didn't know if you could tell.

Also, Chickendad and Kagamoto were to be seen at the end, helping to end the story. I really do enjoy those characters a bunch. They were finally reunited with their other friends, who were originally seen in that 3-armed man comic. For those of you who enjoy trivia: the cowboy is named Don Spur, the Puritan is named Goodie Pinstripe, and the little short lady is named Madam Hammer. They are all petty criminals of some variety or another, and their stories are interesting ones.

While drawing this comic, I had plenty of time to sort out histories, character relationships, and the like. I'm not sure if any of you can tell, but I have the whole little comic world in my head really frighteningly detailed and set. In fact, I like to think that Unicorn Valley exists there in my head, and runs on its own. My comics are just random little windows looking in on some of the more bizarre happenings.

It's probably going to help further my ultimate insanity somewhere down the line.
