80 - 81 Super-Powers!
This is just a funny little two-parter I did at work. The second is much funnier than the first, I didn't know how to end it after I started, but it concluded itself, as these things seem to do.
Torture Hammock is a "15 minute comic". Basically, someone gives a word, or a few words, as a title for the comic, then I draw the first thing that comes into head, taking only 15(ish) minutes to do each one. And it shows.

I really should have called this series, "It's just not cricket", but oh well. It was fun drawing, writing and mustache-ing this 2 parter. The 2nd is fairly unique in that I don't usually do panels like this.
It's fairly ordinary in the fact there are lots of spelling mistakes and drawing errors. Oh well, as I said it was fun to do.
Snuggles was fun to draw again too, we don't see quite enough of him according to my girlfriend. But then since I have a habbit of getting him maimed, I guess it's a good thing for Snuggle lovers and Snuggles haters alike.
I've also come to the (final) decision that I'll conclude "Torture Hammock" at 100 comics. I think it's a good run, and I think I'll want to (self)publish all 100 comics in a book with commentary at the end. At least that's the plan. I need to get to 100 first.
So with just 21ish comics remaining, I need to make a few decisions regarding the finale. Do I want to go on business as usual? Do I want to do a big story ark with dire consequences? Do I want to kill of Thadeaus? ??
Not even I know that answers to these questions, I guess we'll all find out in due time.
Both 76 - 77 would land me in a lot of trouble, if not now, in the future. I've been sitting on these for a while now, I decided just to post them regardless, because, well, I felt like it.
It's funny how I'm taking less and less responsibility for Thadeaus now, despite the fact I am responsible for drawing him, it seems like he does all of this on his own accord.
73, 74 and 75 came about becuase... Well, I wanted to draw a pig! I like the look of the this pig. I also like how our *ahem* hero gives animals cute names.
To be honest his motovations are beyond me, I've got no idea why, how or what!
Being such a tight arse and everything, I did my dad a comic. It means more, I'm sure. I want to frame the original and send it to him. Maybe not in that order though.
I've taken a sabatical for reason known only to the same people who believe that aliens took my left testical for martini purposes.
I'm back! I never give up and always seem to have the opposite problem to everyone else. I don't spend enough time on the computer and I'm forever doing my comic. Oh, and I fixed my scanner again...
So I got everything back up and running and surprised you all with a storyline! I had a backlog of comics to get up. There are still a few more, but I haven't decided if I'll put them online yet or not.
66 - Ark of Death: I did this ages ago, for a story that never happened. So instead I made it fit in with my latest story.
67 - Finally named Part 1: A long time ago I chose not to name him as it seems to stupid to name him as people might get attached. However, there has been an ever so slight development in his character. Plus I am considering using the character in a non-violent context for another comic. An alternate reality version of him is you life
68 - Finally Named Part 2: I named him a while ago (although his original last name was "O'Malley" in reference to King O'Malley of Canberran historical fame. But I chose "Cobb" instead, mainly cause it works with "Jei". Jei Cobb, Jacob, get it?
69 - Thad's Mum: A treat for people who like the now named "Thaddaeus" (or Thad)... His Mum. Also a nutbag as you can see
70 - Mum and Thad (Aged 5): He's just so damn cute! And I think he shines for admiration for his mum. Whom I'm pretty sure treated him like a solider before she was committed to "Hellview".
heheheh, this one makes me giggle every single time, even though I only did it today... I was watching David Strassman, a brilliant ventriloquist, brilliant not because he can drink water and make is puppet talk. But because he's actually entertaining and funny! Most ventriloquists don't get that at all, they thinks its all about not moving you lips...
Of course, our "hero" is in it for his own entertainment, which is why it works.
Oh. and my dad has posted comments too. So I think my identity is given away, but considering everyone who reads this either knows who I am or doesn't care, it never really mattered.
I am thinking of doing another "Parter". Parter meaning short storyline with as of yet undisclosed number of parts. I think I just invented a new word...
It will reveal never before information about our "Hero".
It is time...
This is a quicky. Still funny, but very quick to do, instead of 15 minutes, I only took 5.
The trick to this comic is never actually telling anyone that I will update by a certain time. heh. Still 64, not to shabby at all me thinks.
