Ornery Boy
OMIGOD, I have to share this, this thing of wondrous beauty and goreful joy: the marvel that is Ornery Boy. This is the link to the very first one. optimystik and I spent 2.5 hours last night reading through the ENTIRE SERIES because it is just. that. funny. It's like a recap of my entire time in TO (minus the zombies... but whatever). Zombie Walk today! (we're not going... I'm goingto learn how to crochet today!)
We went to the Veg Food Fair last night and one of the last tables we visited was Sick On Sin, a small, local t-shirt company that makes, among other fabulous things, baby/kid shirts with this on them. Which we bought, of course, in a size 4, so he could grow into it.
The woman half of the team thinks up the imagery and the man half draws it. Neat!
And then we fawned over all the little buttons they had for sale: 3 for $5. We decided to get a plain green one with 'herbivore' on it, an evil octopus, and one that said 'Flesh is for zombies'. We talked a lot about the fabulousness of zombies -- this small company makes a lot of cute little animal designs, and then makes zombie versions of those cute little animals: zombie elephant, zombie deer, zombie raccoon munching on human femur from garbage can... y'know, fun stuff! They commented that they were never sure how well the zombie merchandise would go over with any given show they're at, but it went over super well with us.
So they handed us this little postcard for Ornery Boy Comics, stashed in with all the rest of the stuff we got. I didn't see it until we got home.
Once we got home and unpacked and settled, I noticed the postcard. There was a huge tentacled monster and zombies on it, drawn in the same fashion as the t-shirts, so I can only assume it's another project for this guy. So I decided to look it up. Oh my.... Flipping back through them, it was quickly determined that this is a comic with storylines. So, of course, after the smallest was asleep, we started from the beginning. 373 pages later, we were wrung out with laughter and memories and dumbfoundedness at how awesome the writer is. Oh so very awesome.
So I had to share. Hope you enjoy! (I take no responsibility for fluids being snorted out readers' noses.)
