New comic up.
But before I talk about that, I'd like to advertise
Campfire Comics. It's been a long time coming, and I'm glad I've finally got the ball rolling. What is it? Well... Check it out. Lots of information over there.
Now, about the new comic... It's not really very funny, but I've been meaning to draw it for a while. I know that Poonheads is usually pretty crazy and nonsensical... It's been getting more perverted and more bizzare since its inseption three years ago. Especially towards the end. Hell. The last few comics alone have had more testicals in them than most comics have during their entire run.
So, I guess this comic is a far cry from what we've seen recently. No balls at all. Not even much of a punch line. But that's okay. This comic is what Poonheads is
really about.
Friendship.
Sure, sure. That may sound cheesy and a little queer, but it's a fact. Since its beginning, Poonheads has been about the friendship between the title characters. No matter what kind of crazy things happen to them, they stick together. They joke about each other, but it's all in good fun. Whatever happens... whatever disagreements occur, the friendship never fades.
The comic is, and always has been, an exagerated reflection of our real selves. Our friendship, however, is not exagerated.
Thinking back, until the Poonheads, I had no real friends. There were people I enjoyed hanging out with, whom I thought were friends, but when it came down to it, they really weren't. This newest comic is based on a true story. It was during this excursion that I realized what friends really were, and that the Poonheads were truely my friends.
Google "Friends will be Friends" by Queen. That song pretty accurately sums it up. In my opinion, anyways.
My step dad, when he's not being an asshole, is a pretty wise man. He once said to me, "If a man's got one good friend that he can count on in life, he's doing good." I've got more than one good friend, so I guess that means I'm doing really good.
Until next time...
