| New Comic |
[Mar. 22nd, 2006|10:08 am] |
For those of you who are not on MySpace, here's a little note to let you know that I have a new comic I am drawing which can be found here. It's called "Ennui", and it's primarily about a lazy, rich bastard named Nathan and his interactions with various friends and family members. It takes place in the exhaustively researched and meticulously detailed era known as Old Fashioned Time, and it's pretty funny and nasty and completely unlike "Mythocorp" in virtually every way.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
Thanks. |

Am I the first person to use one blog service exclusively to bitch about another one? Hmm...
Check out this message:
"Blogs are temporarily disabled while we fix some database probs. We took them offline at 2:30pm PST on Wednesday, and we expect them to be back up by 6:00pm tonight. Thx."
What's really funny about this is that it's actually 11:00am PST, and it's a Tuesday. So, when exactly should the blogs be back up? I was blogging like a madman not half an hour ago (you've got to take advantage of MySpace's little windows of realiability).
I haven't had a love/hate relationship this intense with a service since the glory days of posting "Mythocorp" on KeenSpace. |

As much as I love many aspects of MySpace, the site appears to be run by monkeys. For instance, today I can't even log in. Once again, I'm venting here, because to vent over there would require me to actually log the fuck in first. |

--is very cool, and there's a lot I like about it, but it seems there is a different feature that doesn't work on any given day, and it's ridiculously fucking SLOW. I'd vent my frustration on my actual MySpace blog, but I can't seem to read it right now.
I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with nothing ever working the way it's supposed to.
NOTHING.
EVER. |

I've got blog over at MySpace now, which promises to be a bit more fun than anything I've done here on LJ, so head on over there if you want the full "Kevin Wolf Experience" (and who wouldn't?). |

I don't know why I have this LiveJournal. I'm not exactly the "sharing" sort.
I actually had a couple paragraphs written about my creative frustration, but I erased it, because, really, who gives a good Goddamn if I'm having a hard time drawing a comic page?
Happy St. Patrick's Day, everybody!

I was just mercilessly deafened, beaten up, and sonically spooged upon by the gods of rock known to this mortal plane as Guitar Wolf. This show is the most intense thing I have ever seen in my life. If you love the rock, and these guys come to your town on their North American tour, do not pass up the opportunity to see these guys in their natural element. I've been a big fan of them on record for years, and to see them live is without parallel.
Such beautiful noise... |

| On the subject of "Spamalot" |
[Mar. 8th, 2005|11:36 am] |
Jaster brought it up in a comment on my last post, and I correctly guessed that it was a money-grubbing musical version of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". I've now done some investigation of this thing, and was shocked to discover that the original cast includes David Hyde Pierce, Hank Azaria and Tim Curry. No slouches, there.
I'm still highly skeptical of this thing, since Eric Idle, the mastermind behind it, has done virtually nothing of value since the day he penned "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" for "Life of Brian" (and is anybody surprised that he's apparently managed to shoehorn that song into "Spamalot"? Anyone?).
(Whoops, I'm sorry, I forgot that Gilliam threw him a bone and cast him as Berthold in "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen", which he was admittedly hilarious in. There's ONE THING!)
Eric Idle seems like a nice guy...in fact, with the exception of Cleese they all seem like pleasant chaps...but stop reliving your glory days, Idle! Give us something new! Do you want to be known for the rest of your life as "the guy who wrote the 'Nudge-Nudge' sketch"? |

Did you ever see "The Rutles"? Did you wonder how Eric Idle managed to con tons of celebrities into appearing in something so phenomenally unfunny?
Well, he's done it again.
Is there a Python alumnus doing anything worth a shit right now?
Besides Terry Gilliam? |

As you know, I hate most quizzy-type things, but this one seemed clever enough to give a shot:
Amusingly enough, I have no idea who that guy who is supposedly my best friend is. I do appreciate having Minnie Driver as my nemesis, however. |

Here's a picture of Lola and her unnamed best mate spending some quality time at his flat.
Those crazy kids!
Gotta get a name for that guy, plus tweak his looks a bit...he's indistinguishable from almost any surly goateed webcomic slacker. Then again, there are so many real people who look like that. |

..."The Office" fucking rules. If you haven't caught it on BBC America, make sure you get the DVD, because it is funny, funny shit. I'd put the episode in which David Brent single-handedly destroys the customer service training seminar in my top twenty funniest TV moments ever. |

Work is going well on my new comic project, "The Stroll". I have main character now, which is always a good place to start. Her name is Lola, and she's essentially the punky hooker I posted earlier, except she's not a hooker anymore.
She's just a poor, lonely hottie in the big, bad city.
I just drew a pretty good picture of her, but it's porny so I'm not going to post it. You'll just all have to wait until the comic's going full bore for the porny-ness.
Bummed about HST. Not enough to cry, but that guy was an original, and those don't come down the pike just any old decade. |

It was only a matter of time before Robin Williams played a retard.
Depending on your personal taste for this sort of tripe, I'd suggest having either a hanky or a vomit bag handy. |

Finally saw "Battle Royale" last night. While it was a cool little movie in many ways, and the casting was spot-on, it doesn't hold a candle to the awesomeness of the book. Plus, they totally screwed up the ending, going for some typically Japanese weirdness rather than the intense suspense of the novel.
The characters of Mitsuko and Kazuo, the two main antagonists, were wasted. Kazuo, a very intriguing character in the book, was changed to just a random phsychopath, and if you've ever read the book, you'll be as shocked and disgusted as I was that his speech about flipping a coin was left out. In fact, he had no dialog at all. Mitsuko faired fairly better, and was appropriately played by one of the most beautiful Japanese actresses I've ever seen.
Oh, yeah...this thing was chock full of Japanese beauties.
(Note: When I say, "book", or "novel", I'm not referring to the manga, which I haven't read.) |

If you like funny, non-sequitur comics about beavers and lizards, then this is the strip for you. Check it out.
Funny, random stuff to be found there. |

Hey.
Pretty well moved into the new house, now. Work's been going pretty good. I get to find out in a couple weeks if I get the raise I justly deserve or if I get jacked in the ass.
I've been half-ass working on a new idea for a comic (not a strip, probably), this one called "The Stroll". It's about a notoriously sleazy stretch of asphalt in some anonymous inner city where anything's for sale. It will involve prostitutes, pimps, pushers, grifters, violence and hard-core sex. There will also be quite a lot of desperate, gallows humor.
A pretty far departure from "Mythocorp", which I'm declaring dead for the third (fourth?) and, barring a miracle, last time.
Here's a couple sketches of surly hookers that got me started on this whole thing. They will both probably appear as characters in one form or the other, although probably only the second one will actually be a hooker.
The punk chick:
The cowgirl:
Let me know what y'all think while I go back to mad sketchin'.
Damn, those are big images! Sorry, dial-up users! |

Since I've been out of the loop for awhile, I just found out, not two minutes ago, that Star Trek: Enterprise, a show I haven't watched since the early second season, has been cancelled.
I'm so happy.
Perhaps a new series will come along some time years hence that will wash the bad taste of this ill-conceived waste of airtime out of our collective mouth. |
