Poor, poor, Sean

Hi, it's BCN. Just to let everyone know that Sean will be out for awhile. His computer is DEAD, D-E-A-D, DEAD. It's a shame too, he just got his internet back up. I will be going and checking it out this weekend, so hang tight for alittle bit until we bring his computer back to life, and he gets back to work on photoshop.

A Completely Arbitrary Milestone..

Internet's down, I'll put it up proper once I have the means at home.. Until then, you can find the comic on the deviantart page here

It's been a long time. Too long. Sorry folks I've had a rough week the fnal straw of which being my internet is again not working (I'm typing this at my parents' house, which explains why it's not up on the website). But I found out something regarding the comic. I work best in the hours that I'm usually at work. That explains why I've been so sporatic on the comic lately. yesterday, after fiddling around with the third and fourth panels all day, I finished the fourth and fifth panels in record time for me lately and not only that but did all the lettering before ten in the morning. So maybe I should set aside that time on my days off from 11PM to 8AM.

But on to the festivities! Pop the confetti and throw the champagne, Same Apartment finally reached one HUNDRED comics. It took awhile longer than I thought, but we finally reached three digits. Yes folks this is why Proto Gar is so angry. It also took a bit of time, but I finally brought Same Apartment under the huge umbrella of webcomics that have their creators charicatured in the comic. In the second panel, that's me (in the orange), John (my brother the writer, in blue), and as a third bonus reference to one of the comic series that helped pave the way for a bigger webcomic BCN, the third creator of S'mores Force.

Again, sorry for the lateness folks, I can't promise no late comics in the future, but I hope that more often than not we'll actually have an on time quality product. Speaking of the future, I've also got something in the works, something hopefully big. Here's to more of Gar, Posey Mort and Mac, and of course the fifth character, the Same Apartment.

The end of double digits..

It is finally done. I haven't slept in about 24 hours, but it's done.

Some explaining must be done. Originally about three years ago (this October actually), I made up Same Apartment with my brother and it was a random little comic starring a cat named Gar and a rabbit named Posey. We thought up a couple of comics and characterizations and we came to the conclusion that Gar would be the random zany guy and Posey would be the serious straight angry character. Sound familiar to anyone?

Anyway, what we started to realize was that it was pretty much exactly like many other video game comics out there. Sure there's nothing inherently wrong with that but we wanted to make it different. And so on the last of the comics with double digits, we harken back to a simpler time when what we now call PROTO Gar and Posey were just a simple duo making fun of video games.

This and the next comic are a sort of bridge into the 100s and so it'll continue next week. Both comics though have a reference to my other comic projects that lead up to Same Apartment, ones that though short lived, helped me learn the skills needed to put a polished comic together. See if you can find the references here.

That's the end of double digits peoples.

Make Mine Marvel..

Got the comic up on a Saturday!

For those of you who haven't seen it, this is how the Hulk movie ends. So, SPOILER ALERT!!

Nah, I wouldn't do that to you. This is the sequel to Spidersnot. I planned to do more of these by now, but it's seldom that a good gag reared it's ugly head. I only wish I had one for Iron Man, but since I didn't know much about Iron Man, well you get the idea..

Anyway, I wholeheartedly liked the thing. Hulk is a huge green hulking beast. True to form Ed Norton was fantastic. I'd recommend it. Five big green swollen fingers up.

Jeepers Boobies..

Hey what do you know! I finally remembered to put the blog post up with the comic. Too bad it's like five days late you're saying I'll bet. But I digress

Here you are folks. I was worried about this one for a long time. But I think that in those final panels it came through. It needed that splash panel on number four. It's definitely one of my more colorful comics. And yes that's what I thought about Speed Racer. I don't care what you say, I liked it.

Yes Posey has a Jeep. What did you think she was going to have (no really I want to know.. maybe you have an easier car to draw in mind)? I've mentioned that she has a car before (I think it was in one of the December comics). She has officially a 1992 Jeep Wrangler. The reason for that involves that she moved out of her parents' house with her meager belongings. She needed something that she could potentially live in for a while.

I'm not sure where the guy came from. Maybe he's the Telemarketer Guy going through a mid life crisis. And apparently picking up an indistinct accent.

I hope you enjoy. And as to why it was so late.. I have but this to say.. Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie.

Last two posts again..

Number Ninety Five:

It's too bad of the work related problems keeping this comic late. It's one that I probably would've gotten done early if I got my normal days off. But such is life.

Someone said this to me at work last month. He said that his grandfather pulled him aside one day and said this to him..

I'll admit that it sounds a bit different than I usually go with on Same Apartment, but come on, you gotta admit, it's a funny story. I wasn't sure exactly how to go with it, but then it came to me. Why not have Gar's grandfather tell it to him? Gar's grandfather would be from a different generation he can say stuff that say, Posey wouldn't.

Actually thinking about that, Posey wouldn't want to meet this guy..

Hehe, fart jokes.. It was only a matter of time..



Number Ninety Six:

Yep another doodle comic. But hey it's better this time since I filled the page this time. And it's early..(on Deviantart at least..) And look! It's Posey.

Some notes about this one:

Posey with the bag there. That's Posey before she met Gar and Mort and started living in the house. She lived in her car for a couple of weeks around the city. I really should do a comic about that one day..

I hope someone gets the Spiderman reference there..

Posey seems to be a Burnout addict. I got Burnout 3 and it's very addictive. I'm not sure if she drives that way in real life, but she may get road rage from time to time.

The others are just random doodles that I made of her, except the little badly drawn one with no color. That is one of the earliest drawings of Posey. Yay!



I've gotta end these six in the morning updates..
