Bad Publicity

September 25th, 2009 | by DJ Bogtrotter

Posted In: Comic

And the winner of the “Bad Pun Contest” is……..

But I’d like to thank Luke Surl, Busalonium, Roy Blumenthal & Andy Brown for taking the time to enter. I think I might have had a few more entries if I’d managed to not confuse you all with a pun that only a few people would understand. Evan gets a free print of one of my cartoons for his efforts, but I hope to be able to offer them to you all (to buy), just as soon as I figure out the best way to go about this. If there are any webcomic artists who sell prints reading this, I’d love to hear any advice you might have.

I’m also planning on taking part in 24 Hour Comics Day on Saturday October 3rd. You’re supposed to produce a 24 page comic from scratch, but I think I’ll combine internet ideas and use the time to attempt the 200 Bad Comics Challenge which artists like Nedroid & KC Green have already done. I got the idea from ChannelAte and he’s already made a start on his. Any other webcomic artists fancy joining us? I’ll be on Twitter for the day and posting the results both to Twitter and my blog. Should be fun. (And given that I’m a 40+ dad with kids, I reckon mine will be more like a 16-18 Hour Comics Day)

Finally, the webcomic I reckon you should direct your seeing orbs towards this week is the delightful Cowbirds in Love.

Pirate Attack

September 18th, 2009 | by DJ Bogtrotter

Posted In: Comic

This one is in honour of “International Talk Like a Pirate Day” which is on Sept 19th, so get your ‘Arrrrr’s ready. You can find out more about it here. If you want even more pirate cartoons, you should check out the excellent webcomic Savage Chickens. He’s been doing them all week (for the same reason I believe).

As you may have noticed, I redesigned the website slightly. I’ve upgraded to Comicpress 2.8 and if you happen to run a webcomic yourself, I can thoroughly recommend it. Hope you like the look. I’m not finished tinkering yet and hope to make a few more changed when I’ve got time.

Week 2 on the Cintiq and I’m liking it more than ever. Getting to a point where I’m actually starting to like my own drawings and, as promised, I’ve even started drawing backgrounds.

Don’t forget, you can still enter the pun competition in this cartoon (don’t worry if it doesn’t make sense – it’s based on a phrase not much used outside the U.K.) Winner announced next week. That’s all for now. Toodlepip!

Truth Bomb

September 11th, 2009 | by DJ Bogtrotter

Posted In: Comic

So, this is the first comic I’ve drawn using my new (well, second hand, but new to me) Cintiq graphics tablet, which is a screen that you can draw directly onto. Have you noticed a massive improvement in my artwork? Hmm, well may be small one? Okay, so no piece of kit is going to turn me into a cartoonist overnight, but the way I used to digitally draw, using a Bamboo tablet, felt like a constant struggle. As some of you no doubt know, with a Bamboo you have to look at the screen whilst your hand scribbles away at the side and I could never quite get the hang of this. The Cintiq just feels much more natural and I’m looking forward to trying out a few new things with it.

You may also have noticed that I’ve changed the comments. I wanted to have a system where you could be notified of replies to your comments if you so desired, so I’ve installed an IntenseDebate plugin. It does make posting a comment look a bit more daunting, but hopefully it’ll lead to a bit more interaction. Let me know what you think of it.

Don’t forget, you can still enter the pun competition in this cartoon (don’t worry if it doesn’t make sense – it’s based on a phrase not much used outside the U.K.)

And finally, the webcomic you should direct your cursor at this week is The Urban Blah

I managed to goof on last week’s comic by doing a pun based on a phrase few of you had even heard of. This week I thought I’d confuse you which a sketchily drawn one that combines physics and nerd culture, because so few comics are catering to this sort of thing (XKCWho? Abstruse what?).

This week’s webcomic linky love goes out to APOKALIPS.

P.S. Despite the confusion, the competition on last week’s cartoon still stands. Add a woeful pun in the comments section and you could win a free print.

The Worst Pun In The World

August 28th, 2009 | by DJ Bogtrotter

Posted In: Comic

I feel like I’ve lanced a boil with this one. I thought of this joke a while back, but I tucked it away in my ideas folder, never thinking that I’d actually unleash such a pun on the world. However, every week when I came to drawing my next cartoon, it would squat there, glowering, daring me to finally reveal my shameful love of a good groan-inducing pun. So here it is. I’ve cleansed myself and promise not to do puns anymore. Well, not for a year at least… hmm, probably more like 6 months…. okay, okay, I solemnly swear not to include any puns in the next 10 cartoons.

So the thing is, I’ve posted the worst pun I can think of, can you do any better (or worse)? Yes, it’s COMPETITION TIME. Leave your worst puns in the comments section (don’t forgot to include your email) and the person who comes up with the worst one (as decided by me) gets a print of any cartoon from the archives. Closing date is Sept 28th. Happy punning.

Finally, if punning’s not your thing and you want some quality webcomic action, you should check out Nedroid – the Party Cat one is especially good.

This week’s webcomic top tip is Space Avalanche. Nothing else to report I’m afraid, except to say that I’m very tired.

God, the environment and armageddon? You can’t say you’re not getting value for money this week. Although, it is hypocritical of me to slag off Michael Bay and then end the cartoon like one of his films.

This week I advise that you click, observe and enjoy this link to Cat Rackham

I think all things can be reduced to either sex or death and I’m finding that these days I’m thinking more abouth the latter than the former. So, expect more death jokes.

The webcomic you should check out this week is Big Fat Whale

Ah, the joys of ctrl C & ctrl V. Where would any lazy webcomc artist be without them?

Want to hear me rambling on incoherently for half an hour or so? Well, you could ring me up and hope that I’m drunk – you’ll get a good diatribe about how people spend their time looking for continuity errors are sad pathetic losers. Alternatively you can listen to me pop my podcast cherry on episode 15 of y2cl radio.

My webcomic pick for this week is Anders Loves Maria – you need to dig through the archives to get into it, but it’s beautifully drawn & written.

Finally Vistaprint were kind enough to sponsor a link in my The Undead – A Spotter’s Guide cartoon. Check it out.
