This is my theory, anyway.
Cesar is a man of peculiar tastes. He is really sensitive to a lot of foods, and I’ve heard him say that even the smell of vegetables makes him feel as though he is eating grass. As a result, it is not uncommon for him to pass on a lot of the foods that Jonathan cooks and go find something else to eat. Generally it is meat or rice or something. Unlike the comic though, Jonathan never takes offense, as his brother Nathan is very similar in this regard. He tends to be more considerate of everyone’s eating habits if he does cook for us all.

Catch you Monday!

Ah, what to say about this comic? Some things just aren’t meant to be, dear Internet. Because when they are there is death. Horrible, blistering, slow-roasting death.
This is the first comic I get paid for. Huzzah. I am on what is affectionately known as “Team Eisner” around the Daily Texan Comics office, which means that my comics will run Tuesday and Thursday this week, then Monday-Wednesday-Friday next week. You know how it goes. An interesting bit of news that CC told me about just before I got hired again is that the DT website might give us some free webspace. All of us comic artists. Now, most of have blogs already and it would probably only last the semester (I assume), but still. Pretty cool, right? Then you’d be able to easily access all the other comics that run in the newspaper. Naturally I would keep updating Scribble Demon too.
Another interesting tidbit: Although Smoothie Home has ended, and I know there is at least one person out there who was sad to see it go, Sammy (no Solomon this time around) has started on a brand new story called Night Tales. Basically, it is his own interpretation of classic fairy tales, and he has expressed some interest in posting them here on the Demon. I am, of course, totally okay with that. Hopefully that will happen soon.
Last but not least, Today is Ryohei Yatsu‘s birthday. He does Elysium and is a pretty cool dude. You should all go check out his comic and you know, wish him a happy birthday. I know I will.
See you Thursday. =)
I hope this strip inspires you to go and play with your pets today instead of, you know, vidya games. If you don’t have a pet, adopt one.
This is possibly the most depressing strip I’ve ever written (least funny is debatable) and I was really proud of it until Michael Bowman (of Raj and Boris) pointed out that it had some striking similarities to the old commercial for Hey You, Pikachu! As I have never seen the commercial, I can’t be sure just how similar it is. After much hesitation and deliberation, I decided to go ahead with it anyhow. Michael did offer some helpful tips to avoid any problems though. For example, He proposed that the first panel read “This new Phantom Hourglass game sure is the bomb!”, and then replace the text in the second bubble with “I think I’ll vote republican this year!” or something similar.
I may make this Sad Dog a recurring character. I’m not sure what exactly I’d do with him, but I’d like to draw him again.
