What on Earth do we think we’re doing here?
Thanks to all that provided tips and suggestions. We are now a webcomic! We’re here to make some obscure references, we’re here to point out the blantanly obvious, we’re here to talk good movies and bad movies, video, board, and role playing games. I have a comedic theory, there’s no such thing as too far, just too sensitive. I’m sure the ladies can agree with me on that one. The characters are loosely based on myself (Matt) and Donald the Artist. A few of our random friends I’m sure will make it into the mix at some point in time as I’m lucky to be tied to more than my share of bromances with some funny individuals/miscreants.
How it came to this…
Donald and I grew up together in scenic Fontana, Ca where the major export 80 mph gusts of wind. There wasn’t a lot to do there. We played a lot of Dungeons and Dragons, Video Games, and went to the movies. During the Dnd games I would run, Donald often would draw something hilariously stupid his character did or was about to do. Fast forward to a month or two ago, he started asking me to write something funny for him to draw. Lot’s of research and encouragement from friends and girlfriends later, here we are. I’d like to thank Joel from www.Hijinksensue.com for making his experiment so readily visible and free, I can’t tell you how much it helped reading about his wins and loses on his journey through a series of tubes, that led to his his own little niche on the internet.
How can I help Don and Matt get their sticky mirth covered hands all over the internet?
Honestly if you like us, speak from the heart, gut, wang(frankly whichever organ of yours we make tingle) and post about us on some blogs, forums you frequent, your facebook/twitter. Copy nay, steal one of our strips and put it into a cleverly crafted email to friends and coworkers make sure to include a link to our site. Our work and ideas from this strip are available to you interwebs, all we ask is that you link back to us to our main page, or the page you got it from. We can’t succeed without fans genuinely talking up our webcomic.
