Comic: Ben versus The Ants

Holy Crap! New Comic!

I haven't done this in a while now (more than 9 months) so I'm a little rusty. I have the whole thing penciled out. The first 3 panels are scanned, inked and colored. Unfortunately, I only have the first panel finished, with text and everything.

But that's okay. A long time ago, I set up the site to accept comics one panel at a time. So that's how we're going to do this one. When I finish a new panel, I'll post it. When it's posted I'll throw up a new wisdom post to let you know it's been posted. This will go on until it's done.

So, check out the first panel of the newest Poonheads comic titled "Ben versus The Ants". It's in the comics section, or you can just follow this link: (http://poonheads.com/comics/Default.aspx?id=ants)

It should be exciting, so stay tuned.

XOXO

Classic Wisdom: Demon PC from Hell

Oh dear.. I'm slacking again. But there's TV to watch again! Also, Anarchy Online! And I've been working on Numbskull! No excuses, though.

This classic wisdom references this comic: (http://www.poonheads.com/comics/Default.aspx?id=9)

This is the first appearance of my demon PC. It was evil. So I replaced it. It's long gone, but I'm sure it's still up to deviant behavior in a land fill or something. Good riddance.

Demon PC from HELL

This story is entirely true. The Demon PC from Hell totally eats CD burners. It ate at least 5 different burners before it got passed down to me. I decided it was wise to not feed it a 6th. That didn't stop the Demon's reign, however. Because I didn't feed it, it decided to take over the mouse. When I would move the mouse left, the cursor would move right. When I would move it right, the cursor moved right. Up moved the cursor down and down moved it left! I couldn't figure the damned thing out!

And then it grew teeth.

So when I got my new computer, Brick, I gave the Demon to my little sister. Let her figure it out. Perhaps call an exorsist?

Anyways... Yeah... this comic is kinda lame, but I think it's funny. So this is what you guys get stuck with this week. The Poonheads slogan is "Sex Geeks and Rock n' Roll" after all... This is where the geekdom comes in, I suppose.

As far as the actual comic goes... Hmm... what can I say? The art's not too bad. At 8 panels, it's a bit longer than my average strip size, but I felt that it definately needed the length.

In other news, I finally got a decent camera, so we'll begin filming the movie fairly soon. Also, don't foget to vote if you have a few minutes. The voting button should be located along side the right side of the comic on the comic page. And give me some damn feed back! I've got an e-mail address that gets 0 e-mails and a forum that has a grand total of 3 messages that aren't me. I want to hear from people!

Okay, that's it! Later!

Classic Wisdom: Lament of a Batsplosion

I've been slacking off again. Bad Ben! And what happens when I slack? I post a classic wisdom.

Man, we haven't successfully exploded anything in years. We tried to explode a chicken on new years. But that failed hard due to my inexperience. "Next time!" I say, "Next Time!".

Back in the day, we weren't so ambitious and our attempts were more fruitful. This Wisdom references this comic: (http://www.poonheads.com/comics/?id=8)

Lament of a Batsplosion

This is based on a true story.

One evening, the Poonheads got together and were hanging out, looking for stuff to do. We had a failed art project (a paper mache bat) and we had some fireworks, both complements of Pillboy... So we went outside and blew up the bat. Well... we tried to. It didn't blow up. Because we didn't secure the explosives well enough inside the bat, it actually flew towards us. So afterwards, we used the Batsplosion as a Batarang, and it got stuck in a tree.

The rest of the night was filled with many interesting memories including a suicidal squid, torturing Mark with Mello Yello and Donovan, and sliding down the stair case on a sleeping bag. Good times were had by all.

Anyways... I was quite happy with the way this comic turned out. Good art. Good punch line. And hey... Who can't love the Batsplosion? Ain't he cute?

In other news... I've been slacking off... I've gotten hooked on Anarchy Online, so my time has been consumed by that lately and not been where it should be -- Poonheads.com. I'm sorry. But, you'll be glad to know, I've cancelled my subscription and will be atteption to devote more of my time to Poonheads. ... When I'm not devoting it to more important things like sleeping and playing Halo. And who's idea was it to make Halo NOT x-box live compatible? I'm going to have to wait until NOVEMBER for Halo 2 to play with other people, huh... until then I'm going to get sniped to death by Drew... Damn you Drew... Damn you to a Sniper Rifle-less Hell!

Ironically, I later got re-addicted to Anarchy Online and un-addicted to Halo. Recently, my AO account expired and I forgot to re-subscribe because I've been busy. That's okay, though. By the end of the year, they're supposed to switch to the Age of Conan graphics engine. I'll probably resubscribe then. So that I can become more unsocial than I am now.

Classic Wisdom: DO IT!

A couple of months into the initial run of Poonheads, I had just moved into my own apartment (and by 'my own', I mean 'with roomates') and things were just kicking into full gear. Maybe a week after that, we took a trip to A-kon in Dallas. I had pretty much gone every year since I was a sophomore in highschool, but this would be the first one the poonheads rocked together. So, when I got back, I drew this up based on our adventure. Ah, what it was to be young and naive!

References this comic: (http://www.poonheads.com/comics/?id=akon)

DO IT!

Boy... let me tell you... A-kon was a blast and this strip here pretty much sums it up fairly well. An alternate title would have been "Poonheads do Dallas" but it's too late now, to change it... Oh well.

A lot of things happened on our trip to Dallas, but when the strip began reached 12 panels, I thought I might have over done it. So I added a 13th panel just for kicks. Some things that I didn't mention in the strip are as follows:

We basically had two rooms: One room was chick type people and the other for non chick type people. In the end, we all ended up staying in the chick room cuz hey... who wants to stay in a room with all guys? That'd be gay... Pillboy crashed under the table in a giant Pillboy burrito. Also it was Seth, who you people don't know, that created our now infamous slogan of "DO IT" in the notorious Brooklyn accent. Whilest giving credit where credit is due... lets not forget to credit Aly for the Whale spooge incident.

At one point in time, I got pissed off because I had to climb 12 flights of stairs only to be greated with a "We don't like you" when I got to my friend's door... so I hung out in the stair well for a while where I met some dude from Antarctic Press.

What else? What else? Sterling cosplayed as Faust from Guilty Gear and did a damn good job of it! Hell yeah! Couldn't see for shit, but he rocked hardcore!

Also, on the way back, one of the cars suffered a blowout and did crazy things on the highway. I wasnt' there because I was in a different car. Pillboy tells me that because the spare tire was flat, they had to go to 6 different gas stations to find a working air pump before they could fix it. Crazy!

Now on to a play by play of the comic:

This would be the first comic that I've drawn in quite some time, so that art, as a whole isn't quite up to par, but there are some panels that I'm actually very happy with.

The first panel is just kind of a set up for the chaos to come.

Second Panel: On thursday, while I waited for everyone else to arrive, I rode the escalators up and down over and over, and eventually got KICKED OFF THE ESCALTORS.... After that... we repeatedly got scolded by A-kon security to "not clump in front of the escalators". So we would yell at everyone who was standing around: "NO CLUMPING". We can be such asses...

Third panel: This totally happened, and we are so hardcore.

Fourth panel: Yeah... We met Fred Gallagher who said we could use our flyer. It shows Danzig beating up Piro from Megatokyo. First of all. I LIKE Megatokyo... so quit bitching. It was a joke... Even FRED got that... but all you damned whinny MT people are all like, "This is a flyer of my favorite webcomic character getting his ass kicked... it's so not cool... I think I'm gonna go cry..." IT'S A FUCKING JOKE! COME ON PEOPLE! Christ! Fred was okay with it! You fuckers should be okay with it, too! We tried to hand out the flyers in the Megatokyo line and all the MT fans are WAY too touchy... Anyways. When we met up with Fred, we were in costume, so it's a bit not real... but you know.. that's pretty much how it happened...

Fifth Panel: We had a LONG conversation about whale spooge in a hotel room one evening. So the ocean is salty. Because of whale spooge. And if you drink it, you get whale dick, which causes your dick to swell up to the size of a VW beatle. Also, you ejaculate enough semen to fill a swimming pool. And when I let loose my Whale mating call, Pillboy thought he heard a whale cream its panties... So if ever you see me out in a boat... I'm probably trying to score with a whale...

Sixth Panel: Pillboy Cosplayed as Pyramid head and rocked hardcore. He kept talking about doing the thing that is described in the comic here... And then we met the leaf chick... The leaf chick is a chick that was wearing leafs... that's it. She was hot. Unfortunately, she was probably under age. But since we didnt' score with her, there's no problems there, right? Anyways, we gave here and here friend, the towel chick, a poonheads flyer. Pyramid Head never actually went bananas... but it's a funny story for a comic strip. And Leaf chick... if you're reading this, and you happen to be over 18... Drop me a line ;D

Seventh Panel: Using Seth's brilliant slogan... Pillboy, Joey and my brother, set out with our flyers and harassed everyone in sight. In a false New Yorkian accent, these three brave men met new people and annoyed them to death, driving my web hits up at least 3 fold. Anyone who actually came to this site because of this campaign must be crazy, and I would like to talk to them in person. Anyways... Along with the help of all the chicks in our party, they soon gave out all of our original 500 flyers, so we were forced to make an additional 160 flyers in the business center of the hotel. The chick there was really nice and helpful and not a bad looker, either. She, also, should feel free to drop me a line if she reads this ;D

Eighth Panel: We have furries... and we have people with signs... I hate them both... Then we have me with this pomade crap in my hair... so then chicks attack my hair and say I should fro it up... which I do. Then they say that it looks like I just got laid... The security gaurds already think my Poon (which is only tang and water) is alcoholic... Man... the implications of this strip are just... there are so many, and all of them would be accurate.

Nineth Panel:Someone had this brilliant idea to play Twister in the middle of the hallway... so after we got booted from the lobby, we went and played in the hallway in front of the room... Well, after a while, someone filed a complaint, and Mr. Security gaurd came up to see what was the matter. Everyone ran into the room and left Tatum to fend for herself. Of course dipshit (Joey) was still yelling "DO IT" at the security gaurd who was fairly cool about the whole thing who just told us to quite down instead of kicking us out and "STOP CLUMPING" like the kon staff would have.

Tenth Panel: Fairly self explainatory... except that the ONE piece of hentai that Sterling actually bought didn't actually contain any actual naughty pictures once he got into the shrink wrap... Irony? I think so. I just thought it made for a funny panel. We were all talking about what we would do when we finally found the Hentai booth, whilest we were on our "quest for porn".

Eleventh Panel: At one point in time, we thought about staging a publicity stunt near the Rocky Horror line in which Pillboy's pants would get stolen and flyers would fly out... but then we though he might get kicked out... So instead we went back up to the room and something similar to this happened.

Twelveth Panel: One guy doubted my ability to deliver explosions... HA!

Thirteenth Panel: Zabak... Well... he's Zabak... Zabak was all over the place. He tried to sell us, he passed out flyers, he danced, he even got strangled by that chick from Kill Bill... I have a feeling you'll be seeing more of Zabak in the future...

Now... Other stuff:

A couple of people wanted me to post links to their sites... Now if these guys don't link back to me, I'm gonna be severely pissed...
mtekbeta.com
www.starcrossd.net

There... you can't say I'm a bad guy... for a minute there I was seriously thinking about just saying Fuck it and forgetting about them... But that would be be something only a complete ass monger would do.

And in other news... I'm tired and 2 out of 3 Poonheads agree that card games suck donkey dicks*.

* The third Poonhead was not polled on this topic.

~Ben

BTW: This year will probably be the first time we don't go to a-kon. I guess a little part of me is disappointed, but it hasn't been quite as fun the past couple of years as the Poonheads have grown, matured, and acquired diversified tastes. We've just got better things to do, I supposed.

Classic Wisdom: The Danzig Show

Before the "poonheads freakout face", the main running gag was having Pillboy getting his ass kicked in every comic. Also, guest stars. And any combination there of.

This particular classic wisdom goes with this comic: (http://www.poonheads.com/comics/Default.aspx?id=7). It combines both guest stars and Pillboy-ass-kicking for the first time and sets a standard for what was to come.

The Danzig Show

One day, Pillboy introduced me to Danzig and forever changed my tastes in music.

Danzig is ultra hardcore and we were talking about what it would be like if Danzig got his own TV show... thus the title... So we decided that it would be a sitcom, in which Danzig was the crazy neighbor and beat the living hell out of a random family in every show.

Well... in this particular comic... Danzig makes a guest appearance and beats the hell out of Pillboy. In fact... Danzig gives Pillboy the longest and most severe beating so far in the comic. And Pillboy thanks him for it, because Danzig is just that cool.

If you would notice... Danzig is listed as a cast member on the cast page... What does this mean? Could it mean that Danzig will return to lay the smack down on Pillboy again? Well... we'll just have to wait and see, now won't we?

In a more artistic note, this was the first and not the last, comic in which I drew every frame by hand. I was so pleased with the results, that I decided that I would no longer copy and paste... At least not when I don't have to. I think the art came out VERY good. The only thing that is a little off... Danzig isn't that big in real life. He's only about 5'4". But he's so hardcore, I made him really huge to enhance his harcoreness.

I think that about does it for this one. I think it came out really well.

Until next time,
~Ben

Classic Wisdom: Crassmas

I finally got my new computer up and running. It's super awesome. I decided not to use it as a media center PC like I had initially intended. I can't get it all to work right with my new TV. So I'm just going to have my TV hooked up to my DVD player and my computer (in all it's blue cathode light glory) will remain a separate entity.

Now that I've got that done, I can concentrate on more important issues. No... Not the comics or the blog. Graduate School! Admissions deadlines are in mid January, so I'm going to try get all that done by then.

After that, however, I'll start updating the blog regularly again. I have a couple of good ideas for some poonheads comics, too. But mostly I'm going to try to finish Captain Numbskull. Maybe work on my other web-based projects if I get a chance, too.

All-in-all, I'm excited about the upcoming year. This year treated us all pretty well and I hope that next year will be just as fruitful.

In the mean time, I'm going to skip around a little with the Classic Wisdoms. Instead of posting The Danzig Show (which would be the next Comic/Wisdom if I was posting in order), I will treat you to Santa Crass. It goes with this comic: (http://www.poonheads.com/comics/Default.aspx?id=crassmas).

Have a Merry Crassmas!

Oh man... I am lazy and I didn't even realize that I am almost out of time this week. Christmas came and went so I had better throw up some commentary about this strip huh?

First of all, Santa Crass came along because a while back we found a Santa cap randomly at Seth's house. Who decided to wear it? Pillboy. What else was he wearing? His Crass shirt. And thus came Santa Crass.

I decided to go with a candy cane striped background not only because candy canes and christmas go hand in hand, but because the night before I colored this, Pillboy was harassing me with a candy cane. I refused to eat one, so he decided to put one in the bottom of my glass of egg nog. Bastard.

The only other thing that you may be wondering about is the Very Danzig Christmas song. I wrote that specially for this comic in about an hour. It's sung to the tune of "Deck the Halls". If you would like the entire lyrics... Well... here they are:

Deck the halls with bowels of children,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season FOR DESTRUCTION,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our Killing armor,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Troll the ancient Spell of demons,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the blazing Fires before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike our foes and join the legions,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow me in Blood and chaos,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of pain and suffering,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Death awaits all who pass here,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the beast, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
NOW LETS DEFILE ALL TOGETHER,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heathen winds and devil weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

It sorta sounds like it could be about the armys of Hell rising to the earth. But take it for what you will. Anyways. I like it better than the orginal.

No weekly Wisdom because I'm a lazy bastard and need to finish next week's comic.

Classic Wisdom: Crabs

Finals have come to a close. Graduation is still a week and a half away. I've still got to turn in my damned 480 project and I spent all evening playing with my new computer. Looks like it's time for another Classic Wisdom.

Despite the horrendous dialog, the comic that goes with this one (http://www.poonheads.com/comics/?id=6) is still one of my favorites. My step-dad is actually the one who told me about the ice pick thing. Oh, that guy!

~Ben

Crabs

This is one of my favorite comics to date.

There are many things that make this one special... This is the first comic in which we see Ben without a hat. This is also the first comic in which Pillboy does not get hurt. Ben, however, does get hurt... This should be a lesson to everyone: DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE. And yes... We Poonheads have been known to play with fire on the occasion :D

So this comic has a history...

I wanted to write a comic that developed the characters a bit more, so I figured okay... what happened after that last comic? Well... It's been a week, a lot could have happened. Since Pillboy is obviously pretty lucky with the ladies, but gets beat up all the time, I wanted to portray Ben as the character who has no luck with women... But of course all of these characters have pretty stupid luck... So Lets say Ben actually hooked up with that blonde chick. There's no way things went off well... Lets give him crabs! But that's not that funny... Let's give him crabs IN HIS CHIN PUBES... This works on many levels because many people make fun of my beard by calling it chin pubes (when in, fact it, DOES actually look like a tuft of pubic hair on my chin...).

So I was originally just going to have Sterling jump out of no wheres and punch Pillboy, but that was kind of lame... So I figured maybe I'll just have Pillboy laugh and not get punched and it will be funny because it isn't Ben's job to punch Pillboy... But that isn't enough to make a comic about...

That's when an assossiate of mine related to me the correct way to get rid of crabs... You light your pubes on fire and stab them with an ice pick. So I figured I would make my comic about that... BUT... Then I get this image in my head of my head getting lit on fire in a giant fire ball... and THAT is how this comic came to be.

Oddly enough, the thing that people tend to find most humorous about this particular comic is the tuft of hair on my chest... What can I say? I'm not a very hairy guy...

Daily bit of wisdom: Yeah... I'm lazy... no wisdom today..

Classic Wisdom: The Good Book

Dude... It's so close I can taste it. Two and a half weeks.

In the mean time, have some classic wisdom. It's a Two-for-Wednesday because this particular comic was originally split into two parts (and thus, two wisdoms).

They're about this comic: (http://www.poonheads.com/comics/?id=4)

XOXO
~Ben

Part One:

The Good Book

TO BE CONTINUED!!! How can this be, you ask!? Well... That's simple! I felt like it. Actually, had I done the whole thing in one strip, it would have been too long, so I chopped it up. Make sense? Good. Most of this and next weeks's stip are cut and paste. I drew about 2 and a half pages or so and copied and pasted and edited and copied and pasted and edited, etc. It worked out pretty nicely. You may notice that the print on Ben's shirt is different in EVERY panel. It's funny.

Also, I get asked this a lot. The blonde chick is just some chick. I made her up. She's my standard hottie. She doesn't have a name. She's just blonde. Maybe I'll call her Blondie. Or not. Anyways.

Other important notes about this strip: We are more thoroughly introduced to Pillboy's girlfriend, even though she doesn't show up until the next strip. We learn that she is Bipolar We also learn that Ben has been recording PB's sexual excapades in the "Book of Poon" and that Ben, and presumably Sterling, don't care much for Pillboy's Girlfriend.

I'm not sure if you're noticing this yet, but there seems to be a running gag of Pillboy getting punched in every strip. Wait a second... Am I explaining the jokes? Damn... I forgot I wasn't supposed to do that. Oh well. I'd better stop.

Anyways, this particular comic is more or less a set up for next week's installment. Sorry if you're disappointed. Deal with it.

If this wasn't enough fun for you, this week's wisdom is brough to you by the letter W. I created a super Photoshop tutorial about how I color David Willis's comic strip, It's Walky, in my spare time. No, I don't have his permission... But I figure he won't mind TOO much as long as I tell you to visit his website and give him money. Anyways, if you want to view my tutorial, it's in the Wisdom archives, right below this one.

~~Benabus

P.S. Don't forget to vote for me on Buzz Comics, via the button on the comics page!

Part Two:

We're Single

Well... I'm still single anyways... This comic shows just how violent Pillboy's Girlfriend gets.

More copy and pasting... I've been told that PB's G/F is lookin' pretty hot. Meh...

I like the slow motion part there when Pill boy gets punched. I like how that came out. Joey said it couldn't be done. It could have been done better, but it still was done. Ha!

I really don't have a whole lot to say about this one.

In other news... I'm writing a book. I used to write short stories and stuff. This is a novel. It's kind of cyberpunkish, but not really? It's definately sci/fi. I might post some of it here later, perhaps. It's VERY loosely based on the the song White Room by cream... it's more or less my interpretation of the song. You take White Room, throw in a bunch of other cool songs and you get my story. I like it. A bunch of my friends like it. Anyways. If every I slack off on the comic... I assure you it's because I'm writing... It's not because I'm worried about school or I got a job or a life or anything. Anyways. Later!

~Benabus

Classic Wisdom: Poon-a-vision!

Been busy, but it's almost over. Thank god.

The following classic wisdom references this comic: (http://www.poonheads.com/comics/?id=3)

Poon-a-vision

Yes! Sterling speaks! So this is also the first appearance of Pillboy's Girlfriend. No, she doesn't have a name, just in case you're wondering. Her character is based off of several people I know, but she's not really real, like the guys.

Commentary for those of you who actually read this crap: That last panel is pretty much all cut and paste from the first one. The premise of this comic, in case you didn't get the big joke about it, is that since, Ben and Sterling were bored, they peep into Pillboy's bedroom window and watch all the exciting action instead of watching TV. Because of PB's Girlfriend's mental disorder, they can never really tell what's going to happen next, so it's always great fun for them.

Fun Fact #1: You've got to love the plaid!

Fun Fact #2: Starting with this strip, the print on Ben's shirt changes in every panel.

Fun Fact #3: Popcorn is good.

Daily wisdom: Forums are open and I encourage everyone (all two of you) to start up some discussion!

Classic Wisdom: Computer Fucking Belt

Today I had to go to some crazy business thing where lots of people mingled and drank cheap liquor. It was pretty lame. Super lame, even. I got home at about 7:30. And also I have a lot of work for school and I'm really tired.

In place of something witty and well written, I give to you a bit of classic wisdom. It references this comic: (http://www.poonheads.com/comics/?id=2).

Computer Fucking Belt

Yes. I do own a belt that allows me to fuck computers. I wear it every day. It is not only a fashionable, yet functional piece of cyber-wear, but it keeps my pants up, too! The belt it self is made mainly of Industrial strength adhesive Velcro. One side has loops and the other has the hooks. There is no buckle, per say, as it simply Velcros together. In the front, to give the appearance of a buckle, I have two Zip-Linq USB cables, which I have attached via velcro to for easy detachment. Around the belt, I have several accessories, also attacted with velcro. For the time being, I have two 128 MB thumb drives and a small portable MP3 player. The MP3 player used to double as a thumbdrive, but my old one broke, and the new one does not have thumbdrive capabilities... how sad... Anyways. When I am near a USB ready computer, I can simply Zip out one of my Zip-Linq cables, attach one end to a thumbdrive, and the other to the computer. I'm all set to go! I can do anything with this sucker! I've stored files and even small programs, like WSFTP and Putty... Plus I've always got my tunes at my hip. I'm thinking of adding some other little gadgets to the belt in the near futures... anyways...

Since these cables are velcroed to my waist, just above my crotch, when in use, it gives the appearance that I am fucking the computer, which is where the belt got its name. It was originally called the GUBER belt (combined form of UBER GEEK), but Computer Fucking Belt just caught on...

But on to the Comic! I basically drew 3 drawings: Me walking up to the computer. Me fucking the computer, with Sterling and Pillboy walking up to me, and then that last panel. Then I did a lot of copy and pasting and editing to get everything nifty. Not a whole lot to say about this strip, really.

Other News: Demon, my computer, has once again become possessed. I don't know what the hell is wrong with it. It gets like this sometimes, so I've been forced to load up a copy of Knoppix and that is what I'm updating this from. If not for my Sidekick and Knoppix, I think I would die. After this post, I shall lay Demon to rest for I have aquired a new PC: BRICK. I have named it Brick because its sturdy German engineering allows it to be used as a brick when it is powered off. It's not quite as heavy as its big brother, TANK, though. It's slightly used, so I need to do some repair work on it, and hopefully it won't have the same problems Demon had.

Also if you vote for me on Buzz Comix, you can view an exclusive pre-Poonheads.com Poonheads #1 comic. It includes the elusive Taco. in a few months, perhaps I shall swap out the bonus comic for Poonheads #2... Great stuff that was!

Captain Numbskull Lives

Today I started another page of Captain Numbskull (http://numbskull.poonheads.com/), which is a bad idea because I've got a lot of other stuff that I should be doing right now.

The good news is that page 11 (the page I'm now working on) is the start of a crazy gun fight. It's fast paced and is going to be super fun to draw, and hopefully to read.

In case you're interested, I have some sketches and concept art at my dA account (http://benabus.deviantart.com/). Don't look if you don't want anything spoiled for when I get this thing finished. Though, I'm not going to ink or color any of the pages until I've got all the pencils done. So it will probably be a while.

Until next time,

~~Ben

And just when you thought it was over...

He goes and makes a new comic (http://www.poonheads.com/comics/Default.aspx?id=hotdogman). What's wrong with this guy? Is he crazy? A genius? A crazy genius? Or just a loser?

Hope you enjoy it. And also...until I get around to posting links to these on the actual site:

Friends Will Be Friends

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...

Scarred For Life

New comic. Click Here. I warn you. It's extremely not safe for work. Lots of balls.

It's based on a true story. Of course, it's been embellished greatly for a comedic effect. That is all.

Carzorthade Guest Comic

Hey all. I've not been updating as much as I'd like to. Busy with being not busy. You know. Anyways. My friend Chris over at Carzorthade has been pretty busy, also. So busy, in fact, that he's fallen prey to the "Oh yeah... I've just been busy. I'll be updating again soon. Just be patient" beast. So, I made up a guest comic for him. You can find it at his site, or here, on Poonheads.

I just made it as kind of an inside joke. Poking fun at a buddy. But I've been told that it's pretty funny on its own. Apparently, puppets are pretty funny in and of themselves. Who knew?

Mr. T vs. The Poonheads

I know I said I was going to update more often, but just as I got the motivation necessary to do so, my server starts spazzing. None of my update scripts were working for the most part of last week. And that is my excuse.

Comic News: New Poonheads comic. If you don't get it (more than usual), then you fail at the Internet and need to lurk more.

It's fall break for me, right now. I've had the past couple of days off, but I've pretty much wasted them sleeping. Not a bad thing. Just unproductive.

I haven't done much coding at all in recent weeks. The Campfire comics and my forum are pretty much on hold for the moment. Mainly because I'm lazy.

I commissioned Chris from Carzorthade to write the script for Captain Numbskull. In reality, I'm not really any good at writing stuff like that. It's got a whole different vibe from Poonheads. Its hard for me to write a coherent story.

Nothing else to report today. Later.
