Birds

I've always wondered why we call bluebirds bluebirds, and redbirds Cardinals. 

It's sorta like calling some people white, and other people Asian. 

But, in the end, I'm just glad that birds aren't racist. 

Lifey.

Basically, life gets in the way. Of this blog. I hope nobody has been TERRIBLY disappointed in my lack of updates. I will have some difficulty keeping it regular throughout the next college semester, BUT, I will do my best to post once or twice a week. I have lots of comics done ready to go up.


Without further ado, I shall mention beetles, and how I like them. I like beetles. And here is a drawing. In which no beetles are visibly present. They must be ninja beetles.

Ninja beetles are ALWAYS sufficient justification for breaking and entering.

Whut.

I'm not really sure what this is, and it's not funny, and you won't like it.

Whenever I see someone jogging, I ask myself, what are they running from? Usually a safe answer is "bears".

Kevin misspelled "conscious" in 2011, the infection spread rapidly.

More retarded sketches! These are also offensive!

Lame puns!

Spider

So, this is the smaller of two American House spiders that I found this week, I haven't caught the biggest one yet, but all in due time, all in due time. They're really spectacular arachnids. And I hate them. So much.

Beetles.

Sometimes, you just gotta sit on the floor and watch the beetles. 

My friend Rueben says to tell you he likes Goliath beetles. My dad says to tell you he likes "The Beetles". However, all I have to say about beetles is: If you're going back for seconds at communion, you're probably broke.

What is that vague Cthulu-like shape in the background?

Second post for the night! To kinda make up for how lazy I was before.

Ironically, Billies mission failed because he ran out of time.

No excuses.

There is no excuse for how late this post is, but, it involves chicken nuggets, so I hope my tardiness is forgivable.

"Shortly after snuggling the Hyena, Steve realized he was missing both his legs and his 4pc chicken nuggets."

Because snuggling with chicken nuggets involved never ends well. And you should quote me on that.

Survival tip #2

It suddenly dawned on me that I didn't make a survival tip last month, nor this month either, which, is rather appalling, if I do say so myself. Water collection is THE most important survival skill. You can go a week or two without food, but you can't go even a few days without water, and you'll be functioning at lower capacity within 24 hours. 

 So without further ado, tip #2, ancillary methods of water collection.

Collecting sea water can be accomplished by distilling. To distill the salt and debris out of sea water, collect it in a metal container and boil it. Place some sort of nonporous surface, such as a slab of bark, plastic bag, trashcan lid (washed of course!) over the steam from the container. The steam will condense on the surface,  generally, and you should tilt the surface to allow the condensation to run down into a bag or water container. Some people like to distill more than once, but one time should be enough to get rid of most bacteria and minerals, water should be drunk as soon as possible after distilling so more bacteria can't grow 

Collecting muddy water can be accomplished in a similar manner, collect the water and allow it to sit for 12 hours, this lets the mud settle to the bottom. 

Second, stuff a hollow stick, log, pipe, tube with grass, sand, crushed charcoal (not ash!) sand, then grass again, in that order. 

Run the water through that makeshift filter back into a container.

Don't take the water from the settling at the bottom, as you don't want to stir the dirt back into it. 

Finally, boil the water for at least 10 minutes. Allow to cool and use as soon as possible. 

Water can also be purified with household bleach. 

8 drops of bleach per gallon of water can kill most bacteria quickly if you have to get water fast or on the run.

More important than whales.

Sometimes, when you're out hunting whales, you get horrible diseases like... scurvy, or... a unibrow.

In other news, this is not about hippos.

Hippo Week 1

Every year  sharks kill an average of 5 people. Hippos kill over 2000. Why then, is there shark week but not hippo week? Here at your friendly local alpacalypse, we'd like to fix that. I present to you, HIPPO WEEK, a week where I post things about hippos, and how they will KILL you.

To start off, hippos weigh more than three tons/tonnes, which can amount to over 8000 pounds, which is a lot of british money indeed. 

Hippos can run at over 18 miles per hour, but not for an hour. However, my guess is, neither can you, so you're still doomed.

Hippos fear nothing, especially not the contents of your fanny-pack of the flash on your digital happy snap camera. Here is a photo of hippos eating a crocodile, or at least chewing on it. 

I'd say "oh the humanity!" but thats a crocodile.

Furthermore, hippos are equipped with strong jaws, massive sharp teeth, a thick blubbery protective hide and a short temper.

That all wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the temper part. But seriously, hippos will attack for no conceivable reason. Sorta like those people on the motorized scooters at wal-mart.

Hippos: the fat blubbery killer. 

Pies!

So, you know how people say things like "that was the best burrito EVER!" Then say it again several months later with a different burrito? THAT IRKS ME.

Seriously, there can only be one "best ever" if you already decided that, no future burrito can surpass it because of the "ever" operator. If you said "That was the best burrito I've ever had!" it would be okay, but NO. Its not okay. Stop. Just stop.

Sorry Italy...

Believe it or not, these are sketches of the same man by two different sketchers™ (beat that!) who sketched the... wait, yeah.

Anyhow, the difference stems not from sketching different people, but from one sketchers profound racism towards Italians. Well, I mean, for a shoe company they do a good job, but REALLY, can you expect them to be completely equal opportunity when their motto is "beat that"? Really. Beat WHAT? Huh!? HUH!? WHO YOU TALKIN' TOO, FOO!"

-ahem-

I assure you, officer, I am not high.

Poke it til' it pokes back.

"Intending to chew on the muffin, Tina was surprised to discover the feeling was mutual."

The muffin then proceeded to lick the remaining crumbs out of the wrapper. 

Sweet dreams, muffin eaters...

Sheesh, I'll cook it already, gosh, don't have to yell.

Lookee, now I take pictures of my pictures with a picture camera!

Having begrudgingly promised Bob he would work on cooking the skewer of lamb, George went back to flaming people on internet forums. 

If a flame sits in an office chair, won't the office chair catch fire? This office must spend a lot of money on replacing office chairs. 

Aaand, Bob is kinda fat, you'd think being a flame, his metabolism would be higher.

I will be on tour again to Chicago for a week, posts will again be infrequent, so sorry, preciousssss.

Bronx.

I've been annoyingly busy, I know. Now I'm off to the Bronx for the weekend so I'll be even more annoyingly busy. Maybe I'll draw some stuff while I'm there though.

Why is it called a companion cube, when it can't even move? You tell me its my friend, you LIE. 

Its a block. With a heart on it. Gee. Thats swell. 

In other news, any comic that adds CATS instantly gains more popularity. I'm thinking I have to add some cats. Perhapes if I just say "cats" a lot, it'll help. Mmm, cats.

That Feeling.

You know that feeling where all of the sudden you just want to do some real ART? Yeah, me neither.
So, here are some trees an' shizzle I painted.

I try to think of funny things to say, but I FAIL.

Gorrillant

This, this is my masterpiece, the final creation, the greatest beast ever to clumsily peel a banana. 

I figured I'd feel accomplished by now, but mostly I feel like I just drew a bunch of animal mashups. 

BUT, 600 views today! Thank you everyone, merry christmas, and goodnight!

So... still there? Hey. Hey there.

I like your face.

A lot. 

Mhm.
