What Were They Thinking?!

Regular Readers, a Request.

Hey all.

I’ve actually had time to do some reading lately, and am trying to “build up” some posts, I’ll likely have them up October, after the Yomim Naroyim (Days of Awe, also known as High Holidays) but before the baby is due (the Days of Awwwww).

On doing my reading I came across the second appearance of Dr. Polaris. Did I ever feature the first one here? I know I read it and clipped it before I lost the files, but it’s from a period I thought I had posted. Yet… I do not see it.

Anyone remember? He’s Jekyl and Hyde, but MAGNETIC. I can’t not use him.

This… Is Not English

I know I have my own flaws, but this sign has been driving me batty for days.

Which is actually likely a further indication of said flaws, now that I think of it…

Ok, Maybe More Than a Bit

Sorry guys, but my life continues to get more and more complicated.

The baby’s due late October, and I still have to finish painting/priming/flooring his/her room. It’s now looking like our car needs work, and we’re still getting out from under the house damage. The insurance company paid as little as possible (of course) leaving me with thousands in costs, and some repairs still pending.

I love doing the blog, but in this stress, something has to give for a bit. I need to concentrate on finding some paying writing work and selling a ton of comics.

I’m not shutting the blog down just yet, but I can’t promise that there’ll be anything resembling regular updates for a while.

Thank you to everyone who’s helped out with donations, with well-wishes, and in the case of Matt, Nick, and Jim, being awesome people withot whom WWTT would not exist.

Here’s hoping next year is better.

Give me a Bit

Switching gears abruptly, as I need a break from Metal Men.

Would have done it today, but it was my 11th anniversary, and that comes first!

Slurpalicious!

Seriously though, Eva’s just… mean.

“Why can’t you do anything right? Daddy always said you’d never amount to anything.”

Okay, maybe I’d resent women too.

Maybe I’m Being Too Harsh

typolad — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 04:00:38 +0000

You know, I’m blaming Doc for being harsh on women, but let’s look at Eva, his randomly-inserted-for-an-issue girlfriend (circa issue seven)

“Don’t worry Eva, I know you’ve slept with the other judges too!”

I think we all guessed where that pie’s going, right?

Womens!

Doc clearly patterned the Metal Men’s views on women on his own.

HA HA HA GIRLS ARE STUPID!

Nudge Nudge, Wink Wink

One of the worst attempts at innuendo, ever.

“You know what they say Doc, cold hands, no genitals, and the strength to crush you like a tiny, sexist egg.”

It’s Too Much

typolad — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 09:41:20 +0000

I should just start posting these without comment.

For the life of me, I can’t fathom why Doc is single.

Anybody Wanna Read a Comic I Wrote?

typolad — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 17:34:49 +0000

I have more posts to add, but left the files elsewhere. Sorry. Meanwhile I thought I’d share a treat (or a punishment, depending on your POV). Way, way back in 1998 I ran a comic book studio. We ended up producing two issues of a comic book for a short-lived company named Dreamrider’s Workshop (which someone has on Amazon for way too much and milehigh has for less than cover – even if they do think issue 1 was issue 7)

Anyway, one of the stories I wrote for the later issues, that never saw print, was called “A Woman’s Prerogative”. First drawn by Alex Tam (Alex, if you’re out there, say high) and then re-drawn by Jason Whitley). As no-one has shown ANY interest in publishing this in the last, oh decade, I figured I’d share it here.
