THE DOLLS!

Hey kids, Evan here. First off, thank you very much for all the kinds words on our Bible comic. I had lots of fun doing it, and am pestering Ryan to get another script ready for me to illustrate... We'll post more info when we're ready to sell paper copies.

Ryan was out of town for the holiday, and I was sick most of the weekend, so not much new content to post right now, however... I made a new photo-illustration on Saturday which I figured would appeal to you horror fans. Ball jointed dolls gone wrong...

THE BIBLE!

Evan and I have collaborated on countless, weirdo pursuits but this post details our first ever ORIGINAL COMIC COLLABORATION!

Check it out -- 14 pages of full color scripture as (re)told by Evan!!




click above, or here to read it.

The idea for this comic was birthed while sitting over cheese fries and Dr. Peppers at the Lucky Penny diner in SF. Something Evan said-- Jesus descending from heaven on a flaming cloud to impart the 10 Commandments?! -- cracked me up. Myself, I was raised Irish-Catholic and got a weekly dose of catechism (fire, brimstone and transubstantiation) from age 10 to 14. Evan was lucky enough to miss all that fun stuff with a non-religious upbringing: no sermons, first eucharist or bedtime bible stories. It's all junk that I take for granted, but HE DOESN'T KNOW THIS STUFF.

So we decided to have Evan retell the Bible to me, as he thought it went. I quizzed him along the way, and he patched together pieces of stories he heard over the years, along with a crazy pop culture mish-mash of Dante, Sandman and Preacher comics, and even Roman mythology. As a rule, I never confirmed or denied any of his Bible tales-- I just put down his words as... well, GOSPEL TRUTH!


We'd really appreciate any comments/feedback! It will be online for at least a week, and will also be available in hard copy for anyone interested. Maybe 3 bucks an issue? If you'd want an actual copy, leave a note or send us a message directly at samehat @ gmail.com!

PARALYSIS by HELLEN JO

FINALLY, IT HAS DROPPED!
like a demon on your chest in the night!


Hellen has finished her horror-romance comic, "Paralysis"!!
Evan and I are TOTALLY GEEKED about this comic, and from what we've seen it looks AMAZING!

According to Hellen, the details are: Forty-five 8.5"x11" pages of cringe-worthy blood, drool, and kissy-kissy. Our friend (and Internet superstar/reknowned pixelpRon master) Derek Yu also wrote a foreward for this comic... so what the fuck MORE could you ask for?

Check out some ENTICING preview pages: right here, here and here!

It's gonna cost you a measly 5 BUCKS(+$1 for shipping). That's such an awesome deal for this thick ol' floppy book, complete with a HAND-SCREENED COVER! Photographic evidence:


In summation: We can't wait to get our copies, Hellen rulez, and this comic is gonna blow up and blow your mind--- so CHECK IT OUT!

PS. POISON STRAWBERRY - CHAPTER THREE comes out on FRIDAY!

...and now for something completely different.

COMING THIS WEEK - The STARTLING conclusion to Poison Strawberry!



In other news, Evan and I are currently working on an ORIGINAL comic, and have finished 4 pages as of tonight. It's less Junji Ito, and more Sergio Aragonés-goes-to-catechism. Lots of plagues, nudity and carpentry. We'll give more details when we get a bit closer to posting it online!
