Jamie Noguchi Guest Strip

I believe I opened my inbox and exclaimed, “Are you kidding me?”

This beautiful artwork comes from Yellow Peril creator, Super Art Fight gladiator, and all-around awesome guy, Jamie Noguchi! He’s even been nice enough to create a brand spanking new character for Lobster Boy’s rogues gallery. Don’t be surprised if Cephalogirl shows up sometime in the future.

Go check out Yellow Peril. It is wonderfully drawn, cleverly written… and look! It even comes in a handy, portable analog version! Dani and I have our own copy of Back to the Grind: A Yellow Peril Collection, and we love it.

While we’re all here, I need to express my gratitude to everyone for reading these past 200 strips. Reaching this milestone and seeing comment after comment appear underneath, the cries of surprise, the hearty congratulations… I knew it already, but it really becomes apparent that I’m blessed with a deep well of the most compassionate and downright awesome family, friends, and fans that any guy could hope for.

Truly, thank you all.

We’ll have one other guest update on Friday, then pick back up with #201 on Monday.

#199 Hangover

I had to post this strip with just the flat coloring done for now. I’ll do the shading a little later on Friday. Sadly, I’ve taken this as far as humanly possible right now, and I have to get up for work in less than four hours.

Still, I’m happy with how this turned out, and I can’t wait to put up #200!

Holy Crap! Strip 200 is on Monday. Monday!!

I’m so excited. I can’t wait.

See you Monday!

#197 Parking Lot Brawl

A large portion of NJ is celebrating right now because the Giants won the Super Bowl. We both come from Giant loving households, but have no real interest in football. Really, my only interest in the Super Bowl is the numbers I have in the football pool. I may have lost in the pool at my dad’s bar, but I did win the first two quarters at our friends house tonight, which was neat. (Giants 9, Pats Zero?! Incredible! – Bill) I also really enjoyed the halftime show. I didn’t care about Madonna’s new song, but it was fun to hear the older classics, plus Cee Lo. There might have been a small group of us dancing and belting out Like A Prayer.

Also, Holy Crap The Avengers Trailer!! I can’t wait for that movie. We watched the extended version when we got home and just drooled.

#196 Shooting Gallery

I love that everyone wants to read the imaginary dissertation in Wednesday’s strip. You’re all such smarties. Our friend Chris actually came up with the title. He’s a history teacher, so he was the perfect person to come up with a fancy sounding paper. Thanks Chris.

Just in case you guys didn’t know, we will be guests at Manga Next in New Jersey on February 24-26. If you are in the area, you should come see us. We’ve never been guests at a show, so we want to make sure it’s extra awesome… and we want to meet you! What’s the point of doing a webcomic if you can’t meet the cool people who read the strip.

Speaking of conventions, we will be attending the Super WildPig Show in May. Trust me when I say this show will be amazing. Our good friend Chris is running it, with the help of our other good friends, over at Comic Geek Speak. It’s right in our backyard and it’s going to be a blast. We’re hoping to debut our first book there, so another incentive to want to go. He’s taking pre-orders for the tickets now, so if you want to go, please buy now. And if you do pre-order a ticket, you’ll be put into a raffle, with one of the prizes being a sketch from our very own Bill Ellis.

Since I’m in a pimping mood, I’m gong to throw out some links to some other friends.

The lovely and talented ladies over at Namesake are raising money through Kickstarter for their first book. They’ve already raised their goal, but this is the perfect opportunity to pre-order their book. We snagged one, and so should you.

The real life Gavin, our friend Myke, has a wrestling podcast with our other friend Erik, who was featured in Wednesday’s strip. If you dig wrestling and want to here what Gavin sounds like in our heads, check it out.

Last, but not least, you should check out our friend Tim Steven’s January Project blog that just wrapped up. As he writes in the tagline, 31 Days. 31 Songs. 31 Original Works of Writing. He’s also doing one for the month of February, with other writers, about heartaches.

I think that’s enough pimping for the day. Have a nice weekend everyone!

#191 If it Looks Like a Duck

Monday, Monday.

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. Ours was pretty good. I worked on Saturday night and Bill had his Magic game. He lostt, but I think they all had fun. And Sunday ended up being a day of work for the two of us. I was doing a freelance job, and Bill worked on the strip.

All in all, not so bad of a weekend.

And if you didn’t see, the strip was updated on Friday night.

#189 Protest Too Much

#189 Protest Too Much

I have a couple rules when it comes to this blog, don’t talk about religion and don’t talk about politics.

As I’m sure a lot of you know, being you live on the internet and all. Today is a day of internet protest, with websites blacking themselves out for the day against SOPA.

As you can see, we didn’t black our site out. We talked about it last night, but neither of us was well informed enough about SOPA or PIPA so we decided to proceed as normal.

Just in case anyone was wondering.

-Dani
(I’ve done research since then, and I’m personally not down with SOPA.)

#188 Happy Hour

Sorry about the late update folks. I’m not feeling well, and on top of it the server was down. But enough of that, we’ve updated! Yay!

Dani and I saw John Oliver on Saturday night, and he was brilliantly funny. If you have the chance to see him while he’s touring, I suggest you take it. He will make you feel ridiculous, ashamed, and proud simultaneously of being an American (if you’re an American, which I am utterly, it was unavoidable really).

Well, time to draw more stuff. Big stories to come.

#184 One Froggy Evening

Last night Bill kept pestering me to write a blog post. I write a quick one up, email it off to him, and he forgot to post it.

So for once, I’m not the one to blame for the lack of blogging. (love you sweetie)

Don’t worry, you didn’t miss much. I said that I think this was my new favorite strip, and Michigan J. Frog was always my favorite. And I was keeping it short because I was tired. We had a dance party in my house last night. AKA… I played Dance Central on the Kinect for over an hour with a friend.
