5:47 pm	I'm back, y'all Blue Moon Road is going swimmingly. You can read the first 3 pages at http://rastopopolus.deviantart.com/ , with more previews and samples coming soon. Let me know what you think!! On page 27 and counting...it doesn't sound like a lot, but it is. Expected release date: April '07 I'll keep ya posted. P.S.: The art is a tad lacking at the very beginning, i have to admit...it gets a little better after about page 10, where i started using more photo references.

12:13 am	Blue Moon Road Hey guys, Well, I've been thinking about it and I'm sorry to say Leche-Botte comics are going to be scarce this summer, as I'm putting most of my energy into my book, Blue Moon Road. The good news is, that comic is going to kick ass. For one, I'm putting five times the effort into the art and shading as I do with LB, and those of you who like a good story are in luck too! It focuses mainly on 3 people: an angsty teen, a meterosexual, and a girl-next-door, and how their relationships either drift apart or become closer together. It's all about life and love and sex and suicide and family and obsession and emotional baggage and Edward Norton. A lot of it is taken from real-life experiances, and there's quite a bit of humor in it as well. All and all, I'm liking the way it's coming together. 100% of the sketches are complete, and around 10% of the grayscale. 5 pages are formatted already, too. You can see samples from the book here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/35558307/ <--Back cover http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/35750132/ <--panel of a secondary character. it will be gray in the final version http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/35406907/ <--small panel of a 12-year-old date. awwww. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/33926024/ <-- main male characters http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/27021361/ <-- 3 textless panels, make sure to enlarge http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/21923406/ <-- angsty boy! http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/21952605/ <-- meterosexual! http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/22109428/ <-- girl-next-door! I might keep going with Leche-Botte after this book is done, but I'm not really sure I want to continue it at all, I suppose it depends on how much I enjoy the comic book process. I'll keep you posted! Current Mood: excited Current Music: new year's eve - the walkmen (9 Comments |Comment on this)

11:58 pm	#31 HOLY CRAP, A NEW COMIC?! Yep. Go read it at http://rastopopolus.keenspace.com (incase you've forgotten the url) Anyway, it's been a while. I'm going to try to make up for lost time, though. I've even started the next one. Expect quite a few updates in the next little while, kay? I'm finally feeling motivated again. So, yeah...if each panel looks really different to you, it's because i did them on separate days, sometiems weeks apart. I kept thinking I was going to quit and then picking it up again. I'm happy with how it turned out, though, and I'll keep them comin. Current Mood: mellow Current Music: New Year's Eve - The Walkmen (4 Comments |Comment on this)

4:14 pm	#29 There's a new comic up! I hope it doesn't encorage people to get all political on me 'cause I really don't know what I'm talking about. I just think those commercials are funny as hell. There's a new one where they paste Jack Layton's moustache on other people's faces and say things like "Who needs tax cuts"(without the question mark, even!) It was a riot. The Boy George thing was discovered one day when I was scribbling on a picture of Stephen Harper. I hope other people see the resemblance, because I know i do. Anyway, political cartoons should be reserved for caricature artists. Otherwise you'll just have to post dumb pictures of the person and hope nobody calls you on your laziness. Still! A picture of Harper has about a thousand times more humour than any cartoon ever could. -P Current Music: Undress for Success - McLusky (9 Comments |Comment on this)

12:21 am	#28 Okay, okay...I'm a little late. I tired to get this up by Christmas but I ended up being twenty minutes late. Damn it! Well, it doesnt' matter anyway, becaus the keenspace server is very busy and it won't be up for a while yet. Anyway, it's the shortest one ever(a measly two panels) but anyone who reads even the slightest amount of webcomics should get a kick out of it. It was actually really fun designing Sexy Christmas Outfits. I can see why these people do it. Also, did you guys notice I do lips a little differntly now? Yup. It's not that much of a change but I hope it's for the better. Everyone better have had have a merry christmas, though, despite this gross warm weather we've had aroudn here. >_< -P P.S.: Very astute readers(Patty) may haev noticed angus' ensemble is a christmas-ified version of the halloween costume he wore in grade nine(minus the safety pins.) EDIT: I can't figure out how to get the damn comic to go up! I'm not sure what's wrong...hopefully I can fix it within the next couple days. If you can't wait, just message me on MSN and i'll send it to you. Current Mood: okay Current Music: It's Oh So Quiet - Bjork (4 Comments |Comment on this)

11:07 pm	#27 New one up...I haven't made a comic about angus in a long time. I should do more, he is ridiculously easy to draw and fun to write about. I think this pretty well sums up his character. Angus was a really cute kid...a Super Reader as well. Damn, I wish the super reader shirts looked like that. They were actually an ugly gray. I just didn't feel like putting Angus in anything but a black shirt. It seemed wrong. Here's some good news: There will be new comics up on Christmas, and New Year's Day. I promise, I started work on it now. I've got lots of time lately. I'm totally back on track, and I'm not just sayin' that. Expect a lot of comic updates this christmas break...like every couple days. No foolin'. You can hold me to that. ^_^ also, I'm going to add more stuff to http://rastopopolus.deviantart.com ...so have fun. ^_^ Yeah, so, I hoped everyone enjoyed the comic. Happy holidays. ^_^ P Current Mood: awake Current Music: Whoyouknow - McLusky (6 Comments |Comment on this)

9:28 pm	#26 I've spent the last three weeks being totally lazy so I decided to devote an entire day to doing a comic so here it is. I'm exhausted. Um...yeah. I think one of the worst things about being little is nobody really listen. They just treat you like every other kid, even if you have something interesting to say, like Patty does here. Also, little kids using big words is always funny, right? Calvin and Hobbes taught us that. Oh, and, my comic book, Blue Moon Road, is coming along great. I was kinda down about it for a while(it's a lot of work) but I've got quite a few sketches done adn I'm pretty optimistic that I can have it done by the middle of next year. I'll keep yo posted! P P.S.: The keenspace server is going to take a while for my site to update so if you're reading this around the time that this entry was posted, then it might not be up for a few hours.

8:42 pm	#25 Happy Halloween! As you can see, I have a REAL comic up, instead of just some sissy "Dress Up" filler. Yup. I really went all out this time. It was a total pain in the ass to make every panel either orange or black. Those are two colors I consider quite ugly both on their own and together...so it was really frustrating. I'm not too happy with the backgroudns on this, but that doesn't really matter. Oh, about the part with the three guys in the suits...Stefan hasn't seen Pulp Fiction, Angus hasn't seen Fight Club, and i have no idea if Russell's ever seen Sailor Moon. Oh, well. I like those three things very much, and I wish I had a forth boy character in this so I could have added someone dressed up as a member of the Axe Gang from Kung Fu Hustle. That'd be sweet. I've always wanted to make a Frank costume, but I know that it would be a complete fucking hassle. The Post-Drowning Ophelia is an idea I got after reading how to make yourself up like a 'drowning victim' in the newspaper. I think it's an awesome idea, really. But, for the reasons stated in teh comic, I doubt I'll ever do it. God! Do I ever hate those cheesy-ass 'retro' costumes! Grr! I didn't even convey my hatred well enough in the strip.. The stupid suit Russell is wearing is real, and he wore it to school last year on "Retro Day", an event nobody participates in. I didn't get a hold of him to ask if I could make fun of that suit, and now i feel slightly guilty. I hope people know what I'm talking about when I say Kisses. Those things are practically world-renowned for being the candy nobody but your mom will eat. P Current Mood: okay Current Music: Needle In The Hay - Elliot Smith (5 Comments |Comment on this)

10:46 pm	#24 New comic up! Go read it, pweeease. Grr. I've had this thing finished for like a day, but my computer was messed up and I coudln't put it up. Everything seems to be fine now, though. Yeah, um. I was exactly like this as a kid...I think all kids are extremely self-centered, but oh my. I was pretty bad. If I sound down on myself in this one, I'm not tryin' to win the 'Poor Me' award or anything. Nobody wants to read a comic with a whiny self-deprecating protagonist(unless you're a Megatokyo fan). I just wanted to really drive the point home. So I'm not looking for sympathy or anything...and it's all totally exaggerated anyway. ^_^ Except, I really did do that blow-up doll thing. I'm not proud of it, but it's true. I was kind of reluctant to include it(my whole family reads this) but I coudln't think of anything else that could be that good of an example of my immaturity... My mom's kind of mad at me for this strip, i know that. ^_^ Not because of teh sex doll, but because she doesn't like me making fun of myself as a kid. Oddly, I do it a lot. Mostly because everyone else does, and I have to find a way to laugh at myself instead of getting offended like I used to. See, I was pretty much the ugliest kid in the universe, and my friends think it's hilarious. They say I used to look like an old man. I've learned to find this kind of funny as well, but when I my mom saw the drawings I ddi of myself, she made me look at all these old pictures and tried to convicne me that I was cute. It was pretty funny. Um, anyway. Have fun with this comic. It took me forever. o_O P Current Mood: sleepy Current Music: I Don't Wanna Die - The Unicorns (19 Comments |Comment on this)

11:05 pm	#23! #23 is up! How exciting! Yeah...I haven't updated in a long while. I don't even have a reason. But the important thing is that i'm back on track! I've already started on the next one. I should be back on a weekly schedual. For real this time. ^_^ So, um, it's a dumb strip, i'll admit. I just HAD to do a joke about beards sometime, though. I don't know what it is about beards! They just crack me up! Same with Patty and Stefan and probably Angus, too. I think Stefan started it. He used to draw pictures of babies with beards, and they were funny as I'll get out. I doubt anybody'll believe me, but this strip has been 90% for like three weeks. But I decided it was too stupid and then gave up on it. Then I tried to go back, but I just kept gettin' lazier and lazier. Eventually I decided it wasn't any dumber than anything I've done before, so I finished it. ^_^ Anyways, next time I haven't updated for more than two weeks, I encorage everyone to e-mail me saying "Get your lazy ass to WORK! I demand entertainment!" Okay, so I just got my first review of #23. My friend said: haha the comic is so true. Um, I'm not really sure how it's true, but I'll take it anyway. ^_^;; P Current Mood: hungry Current Music: Helicopter - XTC (8 Comments |Comment on this)

12:07 pm	Insanely Late Update Yeah...I've been feelin' pretty dead lately. I seriously need to start updating on some sort of schedual. Oh, well. I think it's funny that I have all the time in the world to do these damn comics right now, and I'm getting even less done than ever. I honestly believe too much lesuire is worse than too much work. Not that I want to go back to school or anything, but still. Even though it's not my regular characters, I thought I'd post it anyway. I think it's a pretty fun comic an you don't need to know anything about Intershadows to like it. I hope nobody will be confused by it... Last time I did a guest spot for this comic a bunch of people thought the guy in it was Angus, so. What is there to say about it...? I don't like the art in some places, but I guess I'm pretty proud of the grocery store background. That was drawn with the mouse, people. ^_^ P Current Mood: drained Current Music: Pin - Yeah Yeah Yeahs (4 Comments |Comment on this)

12:22 am	#22 #22 is up, so you should all read it! Actually I posted it yesterday but haven't gotten around to writing a journal about it. Hmm. Where should I start? Well, for one thing, I hate how I'm trying to establish Russell as the 'psycho' character and yet his title page just screams 'I have it together.' I wish I'd done something weirder for the first panel. I'd like to thank him for this comic, by the way, because honestly, I can't make this shit up. After I did the McDonald's comic I thought about doing an "Offensive Advertising" series. So I asked a few people if any companies' ad campaigns bothered them, Russell included. And he told me pretty much exactly he said in that comic. It was awesome, especially since he had no idea that what he was saying was so ridiculous. Anyway, I think this comic is kind of lazy, art-wise. But hopefully nobody else can tell the difference. ^_^ I devoted significantly less time to insanely tiny touch-ups this time around, and I think I should continue drawing them this way. See, normally I'd color them all zoomed in and end up doing little things that are almost unnoticable once you're looking at it actual size. So I didn't zoom in that much for this one. So I guess it's not really lazy; just practical. I guess the only problem is, then, is that I really rushed this one and I didn't do a double check. Right now I'm noticing that i forgot to shade Russell's face in panel 8, and Wayne's in the last panel(Wayne is my sister's boyfriend, by the way, who sent me an e-mail a while back asking to be in it. Oh, and you can give him credit for the line he's saying.)...but I guess it's not that noticeable. Still...I dunno, I'm not overly proud of this one, or anything. Ah, well. ...Gah! I'm being nitpicky! I hope you guys like it anyway! ^_^ It marks the end of the Offensive Advertising series. Next week's won't be a regular comic, I decided to do a guest spot for http://www.intershadows.com ...but don't worry! It'll still be amusing even if you're not familliar with that comic. Oh, and, about my comic book. Yeah, I stopped working on it a while ago because the pubilsher I found could only do comics with a max of 60 pages. But I found a new publisher, and there's no probelms with that one! So I'm going to start work on it again. I'm not very far at all. I mean, I wrote it and it's about a hundred times longer than I expected...so I dont' have a clue when it's going to be finished. I'll keep you guys posted, though, ok?

9:35 pm	I'm blind. Another boring entry with another boring excuse about why I can't do a comic. Yesterday, I lost my last pair of contacts and I haven't been able to find my glasses. My eyes are very bad, and it's way too hard for me to draw until I can get this sorted out. So, I can't say when the next one will be finished.

12:15 am	Deviant Art Well, it's 15 minutes past friday and if you were expecting some extra art on my site, I'm sorry. I figured that people would be there to read comics and a little extra thing in between each one might be annoying.

4:44 pm	#20 Yeeeah...it's up. Enjoy it. Oh, and I have a NEW UPDATE SCHEDUAL: Updating twice a week! Mondays: New comics Fridays: Extra Art Think I can do it? So all the Love Hina nerds such as myself probably noticed I put Naru in the lineup, in front of Russell. I find it really hard to draw anime characters, which is surprising because my style is very close to it. But I try to distance myself from anime as much as possible, because I dont' want to be one of the millions of north americans who rip it off. Unfortunately, that doesn't really work. I mean, when I registered on thewebcomiclist.com, I put my genre as "Other" because it didn't seem to fit with any of them you could select...and they went and changed it to "Manga" a few weeks later. Ah, well. Anyway the reason I don't like drawing anime characters is because they always have crazy hair. And I draw hair quite differently...I try to limit all the hairs sticking up in random directions. So I drew this Naru, and it didnt' really look like her because I didnt' add the two hairs she has sticking out of the top of her head. And it took me so long to do that because I didn't want her to look out of place... Anyway I still think she looks kind of out of place, but whatever. I wish I'd made the movie posters bigger, because you can't read the top of "Sex Appeal: The Movie." It says "Carmen Electra, Pam Anderson, Joan Rivers", just so you know. God damn, the funniest joke in the whole comic and nobody can read it! Yeah...I finished this comic at 5:00 this morning. Isn't that insane? I had it half done and I started at around 12. Anyway, when it was all finished there was something wrong with keenspace and I coudln't update. So I had to update it when I got up...which was, only a few hours ago. Heh. My internal clock is fucked. Oh, and thank you to Danica for this comic. Because I had an idea to do the whole "single frame of partial nudity" thing a while ago, but she meantioned fantastic four specifically...so it really made it a lot better. Next week: Offensive Advertising Part Four. If you're sick of this, too bad! Because it's starring Stefan and he's due for a big comeback. I dont' put him in enouch comics...Why am I giving the sexiest character the least amount of appearances? I'm breaking the first webcomic law, here! Well, that's going to change... =) -P Current Mood: sore Current Music: Stray Dog and the Chocolate Shake - Grandaddy (8 Comments |Comment on this)
