News and that

Yes it's true! I haven't been posting and no, I don't love you anymore. I released a new mini comic which was AWFUL! The content was great, but the printing was such poor quality. After going to the Zine Fair here in Savannah, I realized that my minis were not as awesomely made as I though. In fact, they were pretty standard. That's not good enough, if you ask me. I've discontinued all of my minis and will be reprinting them in deluxe editions with color covers and including my Winter Comixtravaganza piece.

Here are the remaining strips to bring us up to date with Andy. I just stopped posting them here, but they've still been being featured in the District. I'm about to embark on a new story arc, so this should bring everyone up to speed (not that it really matters for the new arc). So here's what you missed...

ANDY'S DATE

SCORE
DEPTH

And as for Comixtravanagnza, here is the "Andy The Retard VS. Nathan Pretzelberger: Battle Royal!" I've added some corrections that I didn't spot in time for it being published. So here it is, the version you DIDN'T see that I WANTED you to see...



So now we're even, ok? Stay tuned, my pretties!

Oops!

I've been slacking off! Sorry!

ANDY'S DATE WITH MEL

It kinda sucks, this one got elongated in print to cut off my name and plug at the bottom. I don't mind that being cut off, but I'm upset about the unconstrained proportions. Ah well.

I feel like I've been doing lots of work, but have nothing to show for it!! BWARG!
Next time, I think I'll post the best of my Simpsons storyboards.

A New Andy!

Here it is! The new Andy! and good news too! Due to rising standards (and believe me, I swear I use the word rising without a TRACE of sarcasm) Andy is no longer going to be titled as "Andy The" or even "@ndy!" Nope! I am proud to announce that Andy The Retard will now be titled "Andy The Retard" and I'd like to extend my thanks to Michael Jewel for allowing it! So... nice one, there!

JAMES BELITTLES ANDY

Also, more good news! Coming at the end of the quarter will be "ANDY: YEAR ONE." It's a clear play on the fabulous graphic novel known as "Batgirl: Year One" by Scott Beatty. This new mini will be in the same half-size format pioneered in the "ANDY STRIPS" mini, which collected all the pre-District strips and is still for sale... "ANDY: YEAR ONE" collects all the strips in the district leading up to the "Catfall" stroyline. More on that next quarter.

No progress on the "Andy Comics" mini, but I really hope to be working on it again soon.

Keep watching this space!

Andy The Retard... IN 3-D!!

Oh yeah! I just finished my maquette project for Goto's Character Design And Storyboarding For Animation class! I made, of course, an Andy The Retard model, and here he is for all to enjoy!!

This is Andy before he went into the oven.
I was terrified that something might happen to him in there!!

And here he is, finished! Pupils drawn on too!!

Pretty sweet, huh? It didn't make the case though, so that's kind of a bummer... Ah well! I have a bunch more strips lined up for you lucky people, so keep your eyes on the prize and visit my blog every day! And then get your friends to do the same!!

Something... different

Here's something different. I realized that Andy makes a great Robin and thus was born...

B@MAN & ROBIN THE WALL-EYED WONDER

I welcome opinions!

26, yes please, and RIGHT HERE

ANDY HITS ON MEL

So here we go, another new Andy strip for you lucky, lucky folks! This time, Andy uses his mad skillz to pick up chicks! Too bad Mel is kind of a bitch! Will he get his ass handed to him on a shiny platter? OR WILL HE JUST GET BEAT UP? Find out next time!

I didn't submit this one yet, so it'll be a while before you'll see this in the District... Ah well!

As an important note, the strips portrayed in the "Andy Strips!" mini and the website are a different story to the ones in the District. What happened was, when Andy got bitten by the dog, instead of actually biting his arm, the dog bit through the barrier between dimensions or something like that. Sure... Then some stuff happened and everything went back in time and everyone's memory was wiped and I SWEAR I planned this from the start. (Wink.)

All joking aside, I would like to create some kind of continuity between the two... So, in an act of defiant parody, SOME DAY, I might do a story to link them and call it... INDEFINITE CRISIS! or something...

I probably never will, but I'm just speaking my mind.

Bonus Post!!

This is a new post, but the one before this is new too! Don't stop reading afterwords!
Seinfeld cartoon rough sketches!
Until next time!
