GAG COMICS, THEN ITOS, AND THEN, AND THEN,
Thanks to everyone for the supportive feedback lately! After finishing up the Bible, we've been taking it easy and working on some other things for a little while (like um... holidays! video games! and... OUR JOBS?!).
BUT!
We're getting back in scanlation mode, and have been digging up some really radical stuff to post over the next few weeks. Replies to my post about what to put up next were great... and JEEZ!, all over the place. So we decided to just post what we felt most interested in reading ourselves right now.
We're hoping to be able to have something for everyone in the next few months. Right now, the current plan is for some Koji Aihara gag manga, followed by the Junji Ito short story I mentioned. But fear not! We're going to work on Kago, Umezu and Maruo too!!
CHECK BACK-- A NEW STRIP WILL BE POSTED IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS!
PS: Evan just got a copy of Maruograph II last week. It's SO BEAUTIFUL! He'll probably post about it soon :)

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!
