New Year = New Big Pants Format!

Yes, that’s right, this double length strip is the new format for Big Pants Mouse–more Big, more Pants, and more Mouse!

I always wanted to do the four panel strip format as a personal challenge, but I feel this format will fit Dumm a lot better. More bang for your buck!–hey, wait a minute, we give these away for free!

Man, at this rate, I’ll be doing 3 pages a week in like 5 years…

Hobo Divine!

Jamie Mason as he is known in the real world is an amazing talent!

He is currently working on his film “Full Moon Rockers” which will be completed sometime next year.

Here’s his film he did for UNICEF.

Gruss Vom Krampus! (Greetings from Krampus)

The Krampus is a type of ancient wicked demon that used to hang around with Santa in days of old. He would do Santa’s dirty work, and give a good birching to those who had been naughty. If you think I’m making this up, look here: wikipedia.

Ricky NOW on Girly.

What are you doing down here, reading an old post? Well, it’s a good thing you’re here, because Ricky’s Girly strip is finally up on Girly. Don’t make a big deal out of it. Ricky was late and therefore deserves nothing but your contempt.

The First Skadi Comic Revealed!

luke — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 08:01:16 +0000

You may have noticed some strange things about the Skadi comic above. That’s because it’s the first Skadi comic ever made (as if you hadn’t noticed the not so subtle announcement at the top of the comic)! This comic has been sitting in the comic queue, waiting patiently to be released, for nearly 8 months now. Katie and I considered it our secret shame. There’s all sorts of mistakes and weird problems with it. Yet thankfully, I think we’ve learned not to repeat most of them by now. It’s like they say, you’ve gotta break some eggs to make some broken eggs. So, here’s our very first broken egg, for your viewing pleasure, and for Katie and I’s shameful humiliation.

We have a Winnah!

Allow me to express my admiration for this incredibly prolific artist. Like an immortal, cartooning T-1000, he never stops creating, restless in his mission to become a one-man media empire.

Behold:

*His animated short MooBeard will air on Nicktoons Network Sun 12/14 at 1:30 PM Eastern Standard Time, 10:30 Pacific

*Comedy Central aired Kyle’s short “Ralph and Bichael in Ralphy Panda and the Half Baked Ditz” on their show Atom TV earlier this year.

*Kyle did the art for the Puerto Rican comic strip Kee-Kee Koki for a couple of years.

*Kyle also creates some preposterous, silly, and painfully catchy They-Might-Be-Giants-Inspired music, which I am obsessed with and listen to on an endless loop on long worknights

It would be a good idea for all of you to write to Nickelodeon and demand that they make a MooBeard series.
