Spare some change

I am doing other comics by the way.

and Happy Birthday Wendy !

I am an ideas man

On a similar note - yesterday was too big to draw a comic about but I will try.

S to the P to the X

Oh I am not gonna go making links for all those names but you can find most of them at
The Daily Grind Page.

Man, I could write about that call for hours. HUGE thanks to Sara for keeping it a secret, it just wouldn't have been the same if the others were expecting it. It was so wonderful and beautiful to speak to so many of my friends and heroes for the first time.
It upsets me that I did not speak to Dalton, Tyler, Jason and Xander even though they were also there.

Xander took this photo of Phil, Sara and Tom and Phil is totally wearing two of my badges. This excites me because I feel like I am right there with them nestled up against Phil's bosom.

You know what else I love ?
You guys had so much fun with each other that you barely mention Jeffrey Brown and Harvey Pecker were there.

Kids say the darnedest things

I am having an old skool day.
This involved getting the best of Spiderbait CD/DVD.
I feel like I am a young boy watching RAGE in the 90's again.
Remember when it was also on Thursdays ?
Old skool, dude.

Rude words

The thought of the 12 year old boy writing that and thinking it was funny is what made me want to laugh.

Time wasting measure

I've got about twice as much daily visitors since the last time I did anything like this, so anyone have any questions ?
I will answer them here instead of saying I will draw a comic about them and then forgetting.

Ive heart Katamari !

I keep forgetting to mention
this comic by Jam Torkberg.
For fans of me and/or Katamari.

Slacker

My throat is wrecked
BUT I still rang the SPX hotel of love and spoke to a bunch of my heroes !!
OH MAN !!
OH MAGGIE !
and they all had accents !
I FELT THE LOVE !!!!

LES COMIC DIGITALES

So the second year of the Non-Stop Sketchbook is WAY overdue to be printed.
The stuff was drawn so long ago I pretty much can't bear to look at it and I would feel weird bringing something like that out.
BUT I do like the idea putting about two or three years worth of journal stuff on DVD and maybe even a bunch of us recording a commentary.
Would anyone buy that ?

and Anthony Woodward of AW Comix brings I-pod comics to my attention.

Sick of it all

I'm updating even though the grind judges are at SPX along with a million other cool kids.
(you are making the internet too quiet)
Could someone inappropriately hug Jeffrey Brown for me ?

Also : I want to visit the giant pink bunny !

like Scrooge and shit

My computer sucks balls.

"did I mention that I leak ?"

Dear whoever,

Hey, I am all for alternative lifestyles.
How you live is your business and all but it is not for me.
What I am getting at is this :
I would rather not be homeless, thank you very much.

Love,
Ive

P.S.
I am just not as hardcore as John Campbell.

The Man with the Golden Eyeball !

Imagine it !



Could someone please draw me an epic battle scene in which the Axe Gang are fighting the Baseball Furies ?

Nice one, Geeza

Happy School Holidays !

How are you going to spend them ? Will you go to the zoo ?
May I please come along ?

This was meant to be a normal update but it turns out I am so sick in the head with boogers that I forgot to scan and upload the picture I've been trying to link to.

I can describe it to you though :
Glen found a boombox at the Nash and a badly drawn Terry is asking him where he found it.
Glen replies, "Where didn't I find it ?"
Then I put forward a scenario in which I am a DJ and I play my songs through a boombox while on the dancefloor. Ryan is there and his head is drawn completely wrong. Also my hair is dumb as I attempted to recapture the days when strangers told me I reminded them of Jarvis Cocker due to my glasses, messy hair and all-round girliness, but I now remember those days were pre-beard and potbelly.
And the whole thing looks like it was inked with a sticks by an idiot.

This is what webcomics were before scanners.
You'll see the real thing tomorrow.
Sorry for wasting the internets.

I don't know how long i'll be sick for but i'll try to avoid more posts like this okay ?

I get jokes.

Although it was another night at the Nash it was also a taste of life in Melbourne because all the cool kids came down.

And Talk like a Pirate Day ?
Pfft !
How about "Talk like a zombie soldier pyrate who has a flamethrower instead of a hook and a monkey for a pet who is also a soldier day." ?

some help ?

You know ye olde books with covers where the title and maybe a picture is all nice and gold ?

Is there a cheap homemade way to do such things ?

I'm pretty sure there isn't but I am hoping a rich magician is reading this and will take care of it for me.

Also not completely unrelated the gravedigger has always been called Mortimer
but he totally needs a last name and perhaps a middle initial. No puns please.

Nature's Cleanser

Ever since people became sick of webcomics with monkey/ninja combos the same people have been wondering what the next thing will be to make comics about until people are sick of them.
Some think it's going to be platypus vikings but I think Ducks that work in an office are where it's at.

Presenting OFFICE DUCK !
written by me and drawn by Grug.

I'm having computer troubles.

Here's the newspaper strip for yesterday.

and here's the final one.

Bonus : Zombie Gilligan !

Milkshakey Mistakey

I made up for it the next day with a simple banana/honey number.

I may be busy tomorrow with school and Lamplight playing the Nash so here is another :



and more fan art !

Juice bottles.

What I learnt from Nintendogs is that female dogs do not lift their leg when they go weewee.
UPDATE : I now also have a yorkshire terrier named Chico.

Just in case that doesn't count as a comic here is the third newspaper strip.

This is only lasting one week but you may be able to help.
The Geelong Advertiser (the paper that is running these) has a TXT the editor section where people SMS about crap and it gets printed.
The number is 0429 839887
Let them know what you think about them printing my stuff and how you love my comics in general.
Include your name and if I see it in there you'll get a present.

Newspaper mama.

Monday's Geelong Advertiser strip.

Tuesday's. (link now works)

Now these are far from my best work but they wanted "local humour" and I'm not actually sure what that means.

Here's what that bollard strip is all about.

My weekend.

Those question marks have not left my head.

I want to point out that all the bad scans over the past month or so are due to my current bad sketchbook that won't sit on the scanner properly. It'd all be solved if I tore the pages out but I have this thing where I can't bring myself to do that.

I have alot of catching up to do.

It was like time-travelling.





Don't forget to read the Geelong Advertiser this week Monday to Friday to see some stuff by me on the second page.

More comics about me :

I make a tiny appearance in this one by Tim Hulzier.

Mike Stevens !

I'm totally gonna name a milkshake after Phil McAndrew !

This one by Natasha is the best thing I have seen in the history of the world EVER !!!
Note : whenever Natasha links to me I get at least 400 extra visitors ! That girl is great for business.

Did I miss any ?

Thanks to everyone who made last week the best Grind week so far.

The end of draw-a-grinder week.

I had fun.

Red Right Hand.

I drew a Mike Stevens comic.
I imagine it's not very interesting to anyone outside the grind.

That beautiful bitch Jamie drew a ME comic !!

Also :
Geelong Advertiser
Next week
Monday-Friday
2nd page

Loner and a mess.

Click Natasha !



That strip will count as one for tomorrow just in case.

Funny when it's not me.

The more I think about it I realise that if I was any drunker HUGE mistakes would have been made.
Not by me though.

Daily Grind love-fest part II

I stole this idea from Tom and Jamie

I'm going to try and have a Daily Grind theme week this week.
Starting with this strip here featuring Uncle, me and DJ.

Don't believe everything that you breathe.

LOTS happened that day so I just chose the first thing. Thanks to notfoundyet for taking my poster off my hands, sorry I was all over the place.

P.S. - I believe my book is now for sale at Minotaur.

Presenting Non-Stop Rock !

You HAVE to check this out :
Tom McHenry makes me look cool !

Appearing in other peoples comics is a perk I never expected but I love it ! Reading this one made me feel like I was being parodied in Mad Magazine or some such. Except with LOVE.

How do people feel about updates that don't include pictures ?
Well too bad because that's what i'm doing right now.

Melbourne Pros :

I figure I'm at the age where I can do whatever the hell I want and change my mind later.

Souvlakis and Kebabs after dark.

Two offers to share.

Cons :

No GAA, nash, HUB, folks, cheap rent.

I like being in walking distance of friends and town.

P.S. - I am wasted and my opinions will undoubtedly change.

Wherever you live - Gimme some input !!

Pack my bags cuz I'm outta here...

I'm pretty busy and ANGRY and don't want to have to be thinking about updating so here's three to close out the week.

McChicken



You know me.



Oh, I love it.

Why I am ANGRY :



I've been thinking of doing something drastic like move to Melbourne or another country or some such. Man, if I was going to SPX this year I would try to not come back for as long as I could.
