Vote For Dustrotter!

I know this is a webcomic, but I wanted to ask you to vote for Kurt. He's a good friend and does this great Hawaii video travel blog called Dustrotter. Part Survivorman, part Huell Howser really fun to watch. I'm sure at least one of the three people who visit here in the next month will be willing to give five stars. Unless it's the president, some famous baseball player or one of the other 50 people I've insulted badly over the past year. Maybe I just doomed his chances of getting his own travel show by even asking..?

Five stars or don't bother!

Face Bigelow #51 - Islamaphobia

Did you miss me? No one even left one comment even though I said I wouldn't post anymore until I got one. Well, one week was all I could do without seeing this news blurb. I'll probably get myself on some sort of hit list with this one, but I guess that's the cost of freedom.

Face Bigelow #50 - Armchair Decision Maker

#50 - Never thought I would make it this far. I think I'm going to retire as this has not generated any real interest. If you like it and want me to continue, leave a comment on this (last) entry. If I get 10 comments, or I have a prolific streak I'll post at least 10 more. I'll even count a single word comment that said something like "Blechk!".

Transcript:
Big: I'm a comic artist. Many of my best comics are political.
Big: I think I know everything and I can make fun of anyone.
Victor: What would you do differently in their shoes.
Big: I'm only an armchair decision maker. I would never resort to making real decisions.
Victor: So, lots of whining with some drawings thrown in for good measure.

Face Bigelow #47 - Olympic Doping

By far one of my favorites in the recent past.

A day late on this one, sorry to no one since the traffic to this site is basically zero. I'm probably going to go back to posting once a week since I'm having trouble keeping up with it.

Also, a new change this week with a real font instead of hand lettering. I just cannot justify the time in hand lettering any longer. Hope it doesn't detract too much?

Transcript:
Big: Hey Victor. Did you see that Marion Jones admitted to doping in the olympics?
Victor: Yes. Very sad isn't it?
Big: Sad! They should lock her up and throw away the key!
Victor: Maybe we should celebrate her honesty for finally doing the right thing?
Big: Are you crazy! Lock her up! We don't want baseball players getting any ideas!

Face Bigelow #41 - Fancy Commuter

Face Bigelow #41 - Microwho?

I know I usually only post on Monday and Thursday and the Monday one is tied to the theme of #40, but this one just had too much context in today's Microsoft/Yahoo! announcement. I'm trying to figure out a better way to get my news commentary panes online in a more timely manner while still not killing myself. I still have a really good Marion Jones one that is out in the late 40's and we all know that news happened a few months ago! A learning process, but you really are going to like the Marion Jones and Baseball steroids ones that are coming.
