I'm thinking I'm going to try and update twice a week.

Enjoy!

What else is there to say?
I've been enjoying stomping through the world of Sanctuary for the past week with my girlfriend.

It started out sort-of reluctantly. I think the only reason she began playing with me was just to make me happy.
I've been always going to plays, musicals, shows, etc. that she's really interested in. Which is cool. I get to break out of my shell every so often which is great. I'd never have known I enjoyed musicals as much as I do had it not been for her.
Then one day she asks me if there's anything special that I'd like to do.

All I've ever wanted was just to play games with her. I haven't played a co-op game since WoW. And that's been about 2 years ago. 
I had been playing Diablo 3 for a couple months and I thought it'd be something we would both enjoy. She enjoys zombies, demons, vampires, etc. I enjoy the level grind, item farming, and gradual difficulty curves.

So flash forward to now. She's rocking a 23 Wizard alongside my 23 Demon Hunter. I handle the numbers; gearing and socketing. She picks the spells and play-style that suits her best. I pick mine based on hers so we get the biggest bang for our buck.

I could go on and on about our adventures but there's no point.
The main theme I'm trying to get across is that I love this. One of us will get sick of playing this game at some point and it may become something of the past. But for now, I want to soak this up. The Diablo 3 effect.

Who's got two thumbs and missed last week without saying a word?

...me....

Apologies for those of you who were looking forward to cartoonish violence last week. I was celebrating-a few days in advance-my three year anniversary with my girlfriend.
It was a lot of fun doing the touristy thing in Chicago for a change.

Getting those terrible cheesy photos in the Sears Tower. Good times.

Anyway, enjoy this week's critique on traffic within downtown!

Yo, let's talk grocery shopping...

Actually let's not. It makes me sad.

Happy Sunday to you all! Both football fans and non-pig skin enthusiasts. Myself? I don't watch football willfully. If it's on I'll zone in and out. I'd prefer to be playing a game, watching cartoons, or doodling though. As far as knowing players and teams and giving a damn about the outcome, count me out.

There's probably a severe lack of testosterone in me or something. I got my fill of football in high school though.

So anywho, now that cartoon Brendan is going to fulfill real-life Brendan's fantasy of making art in to a career, time to start making jokes about a struggling artist!

HEY THAT'S NOVEL AND HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!

Sometimes, if you want something done, you have to do vicariously. Through a cartoon. On the internet.

Enjoy!

Happy Sunday to everyone!

I thought I wouldn't be able to knock one these out this weekend again. But yeah!
I did it!
With a little copy/paste action. And simple colours.

I think it works for the joke though. I'm aware of the laziness behind it but again, I've been busy. I can see a light at the end though!

I'm thinking next weekend I'll have the whole Saturday to myself so I can get back up to the caliber I expect of myself.

So yeah. Thanks to those who continue to view and stop by.
One of these days this'll be a full time career and I can focus on making the best damn comics ever!

Well, maybe not ever...

But it'll definitely be a comic!

Enjoy.

A big apology to all of you expecting a regular update.
Not only am I a week behind, I missed the Sunday deadline by a day.

So I provide to you a Labor Day sketch. 

Why so tardy Brendan?
Lately I'm in need of extra hours at work. Taking an art class at a local JuCo. Weekends also haven't been for lounging lately.

So it all added up to a couple late strips while I fall behind on my practice schedule.
Kind of hard to push myself towards an art career when I continually fall behind.

Anyone else ever have these problems?

Enjoy

Hey! It's Saturday!
So as the story continues, how do we find our heroes face-to-face?!

Wasn't Brendan in a bar? Wasn't Becky the one who was passed out? Wasn't there a bar tender being snooty? 
Behold!
My attempt at story telling!

You're clearly sitting in a chair/couch while reading this but I assure you; YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EDGE!

Ahem...

Do bear with me as I unfold some comic-world life changing events.
Well, maybe not life changing. Maybe character developing? That sounds more accurate.

Either way, a lot of this is all based on my recent anxiety problems I've been having. I figure a good way to deal with it is use the comic.

Hope it doesn't get too personal/preachy for you guys, but I'm under the impression the more personal I make this comic, the better my chances are of reaching an audience.

Risk nothing gain nothing.

POST OVER!

Enjoy!
