Sometimes genius happens in a toy store

So, I just wrote a story about a man and a robot. It is rad but it is not actually what I'm going to talk about. A couple days ago Keith and I went to Toronto to do our enrolment appointments at York University. It was pretty fun and I finally chose the courses I am taking (One of them is comics!). Since we had several hours until our train home was going to leave we decided to watch "Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay" and holy crap, I was surprised.

What I was expecting was a mildly funny stoner movie with a few boobies in it but overall something that you would leave the theatre and say, "Meh." Instead what I say was a super hilarious stoner movie that actually made me care for the characters. For a shitty comedy it was seriously well done. However, this is also not was I came here to talk about.

Anyways, after that Keith and I were wandering around and we entered a toy store. I heard Keith say, "Now that is what I would name a person." or something like that. I looked at what he was looking at and I found a box that said... Domino Trays. The he said, "Except it would be pronounced, Domino Tres." And thus our greatest character ever was born.

Domino friggin Tres

He's a crooked detective who plays by his own rules. We seriously began work on him right away. We have some great ideas for him and I just wanted to tell you guys where it all began. Anyways, if anymore news comes I'll be sure to post something here weeks after the fact.

You know, in hindsight, that story isn't very good.

Yes we are still doing this

Hello everyone. I'm just here to tell all my (0) readers that we are still doing this comic. Things have gotten in our way and have prevented us from getting it done fast. It will get done and you will get to read it. I thought I'd just quell some fears of us dropping the project.

Marketing is Difficult

Oh April fools, too bad the only person to read my last post was probably Keith. Anyways, now that that's over it's time to get back to SERIOUS NEWS TO REPORT! Keith printed off the poster that he made for Killing Time (you can see it here) and today we went to Goderich again to talk to the owner of the Literary Dragon to see if she would sell it. We got there just as they were closing and it turns out she wasn't there anyways. It was... some other people. So we gave them the poster and they are going to give it to Sue (the owner) and I am going to contact her to tell her what it's all about. She can't elude us for too much longer... no one can... no one.

Also, we nearly or possibly do (I haven't counted) have twenty copies of Killing Time pre-ordered. This exceeds our original goal of 15. Huptah! It should be done soon and I'm really excited to see a printed version. It also looks like we could be getting our comic known to several other comic shops due some people that we know, who know people, who knows some other guy, that has once met a person, etc. So, that's pretty wicked awesome.

Well, I could tell you a story about how I ate some spagetti today but instead I'm going to go power through some Tale of Symphonia with Keith. Bye.

I've had it with this shit!

Seriously, I think this whole comic idea was a waste of my time. I try to put as much creative effort into this comic as I can but Keith decides that everything I say is stupid. Every story idea I put out? Stupid. If he thinks they're all so dumb why doesn't he just write them himself? Well Keith, if you're reading this, here is what I think. Your drawings suck. I could do better in my sleep. You butcher every single panel. I want to continue creating comics but it is clear that I can't do it with Keith. I'm sorry to everyone who supported us but this can't go on any longer. I'm out.
Bye

Things That We Did, Some Can't Be Done

Ok, so today Keith and I went to the Literary Dragon in Goderich to see if they will sell copies of Killing Time for us. Turns out the owner wasn't there so the trip pretty much amounted to nothing. But she will be there later this week so we'll be going back and this time with a promotional poster. Progress! I also talked to Keith yesterday about my ideas for the second issue and we passed a few ideas back and forth. Who knows? Maybe this will be the first project that we actually follow through with.

Finally, Keith and I have another project in the works as well. I'm not going to say much right now but I will give one hint. Haiku. Expect updates on that soon.

Ok, that's it for now. Ciao.

The First Post!

Ok, my friend Keith told me to create a blog that I can use to give updates on our new comic "Killing Time". So I did. This also my first blog ever so you can congratulate me. I'll probably also use it to post other writings that I have done (and don't worry, there won't be any shitty poetry or junk like that) like my novel "MURDERMAX" that I have started but not finished because I am lazy.



In other news, you should go to Keith's blog also to see updates on "Killing Time".
