Does your face hurt, cause it’s…
Product placement! Cha-ching!
Nice one. I wonder if they’ll understand… I don’t care. But I wonder.
I can hear it now,
Figures you’d use a “Specials” reference.
No wonder you’re such fags.
When did you get Lien airs?
All you punks and all you teds
National Front and natty dreads
Mods, rockers, hippies and skinheads
Keep on fighting ’til you’re dead.
Kilwag: 20 years ago? I did a couple Sunday inspired by watching Rising Son.
Yeah me too, (20 years ago) but I haven’t done one since… (would be funny if it wasn’t true)
Huh. I’ve seen the mutes, and the double grab mutes. I guess I haven’t been paying attention.
thats not lein..he’s punching his griptape for talking shit about his comics.
comics still suck…..good try
I read in an interview that Colin Walsh was a thread killer.
Who is Colin Walsh?
Suck compared to what? Family Circus? Aquaman? Calvin and Hobbes? Broom Hilda? Leonardo Da Vinci?
Tell us what you like so we can dismiss it with a four syllable grunt.
It’s no “Cathy” that’s for sure.
Broom Hilda. Har har
colin, your a dipshit.
if it was worth my time i’d clothesline your ass at a park.
thats not really comics. but hey, colin, grab your wee wee and go go go!

oh shit. that didnt work… ha who cares, not me
the comics are rad, but i’m not so sure about that conahan guy… 🙂
I can’t believe that you find the time (and inspiration) to do them every day.
“time to straighten right out”
I am sure MC appreciates the critique of his work from CW.
“if I want any shit out of you man, I’ll squeeze your fucking head”
How about running endless panels of hesher kids kickflipping stairsets (I think you may have done that already). Throw a bone to the manarexic pants set that seem to be confused as to why some folks still wear pads. (Ever try to knee slide without them?) Oh, wait, I forgot, the new generation of riders never bail.
Instead of Mellow Cat you could do a stereotype of today’s kids and call it “ghetto rat”.
I don’t know. I don’t care.
you all have way to much time on your hands…go skate…
hopefully i will get clotheslined today ;)……… that would be the icing on the cake after my finals are done… i’ll have my collar popped with my bad ass 70 inch longboard staight mobbin with hekka speed through the park bra! shaka!#@$
A Ghetto Rat spoof comic would/could be funny.
I read the comics page everyday at lunch and man, do I hate the Family Circus. It has never once been remotely funny. It’s just some kid saying something that is never witty or interesting. The only entertainment value is how un-entertaining they are.
AWW, GODDAMMIT!
Im starting my own series of skate-comics ala: Lettuce Bee,and uh..and this untitled strip by Cohanan.
However, one my strips is dangerously close to the posted description of “Ghetto Rat”.
In fact the previous title was even close.
Now titled “Lurking HollyWeird”(patent pending!).
So keep your db’s off! (patent pending!)
They will be run in the future on an online zine called “Wheelbite”(patent pending!) so look out.
In the meantime, no one show me up with impulsive suggestions that might usurp my creative genius,’kay?
The last thing I wanna have to do is pre-emptively copyright all my failures, no matter how unoriginal they may be. I know it seems Im asking alot but…who fucking cares? Im trying to be faceatious so enjoy it or choke on your own vomit.Or someone elses vomit. Or have someone else choke on your vomit,either way its a party!
MC, I havent figured out if there is an easy online art progam to do these or if I have to scan my artwork to files so suggestions from you could help.
I came across this today
Thanks, MC. Also, check out another zine from the homies at http://twelvepackkillers.com/ and their profile on Myspace, if you are into that sort of thing.
They have a pretty funny animated strip.
That was awesome! Haw haw!
“I read the comics page everyday at lunch and man, do I hate the Family Circus. It has never once been remotely funny. It
what ever happened to “prince valient” comics? do they still run that shit in the paper? that should be mc’s new working model for comics. jeeaahhh!
WINNER: Chompy!
“you all have way too much time on your hands…go skate…”
I beleive CW is regurgitating the exact same thing I told him a couple months back… heh!
