Templar: Don't tell me that Scip's surprising you, here.

The son every mother wishes for, the boyfriend every woman dreads.

By the way, you really can't listen to Nick Cave for like fifteen minutes, and then try to listen to a bunch of pre-Rollins Black Flag. It's like brushing your teeth, and then drinking a big glass of orange juice. They're fine on their own, but try to line 'em up and go down the row? Blech.

And hey, VOTE SKETCHES ARE BACK! Sorry for the downtime, folks, but we're back in business. Click the thumbnails over the comic to see the new art. Two of this update's sketches are pictures of the lovely Sasha Darling, the model for Dr. Skecthy's Chicago, a monthly burlesque life drawing event I can personally recommend.

And finally, congratulations are in order for Dirk Tiede, creator of the paranormal cop thriller Paradigm Shift. He'll be spending the day getting all kinds of hitched to physicist and concertina mistress Emily Peterson, and I'm invited to their wedding, which is totally going down barbecue-and-picnic style! And if that isn't cool, I dunno what is.

I'm starting to see alot of similarities between myself and Scip. I like to think that i'm not so indesisive or such a pushover though. Weird how a tiny ginger-haired buddhist white guy like me can have so much in common with a fictional huge black bouncer buddhist. Guess its a sign of Spikes skill as awriter that i see parts of myself in the characters.

On a completely deifferent topic Spike mentioned The Go! Team on the forums recently. I just have to say that they are indeed awesome and Grip Like A Vice is my favorite song of theirs so far although Huddle Formation and Everyone's A VIP To Someone are both also great. To top it off they come from the same city as me- Brighton. Its got a large area of independant shops known as the Lanes, a large hippy culture, a huge indian style pavilion, two piers (one with roller costers and shit on it and one which is a smoldering ruin) and is the gay capital of Britain. So yeah awesome city that spawns awesome music. Like New York but small and not famous.

Would have said all this on the forum but for some reason says my email is banned when i try to register.

Whew. I'm done.

Spike, That third vote incentive sketch is excellent! Is it one of the book commissions?

This is quite possibly the least surprising revelation I've ever seen in your comic.

And I love picnic weddings, they're great. Have fun!

Carl Jung should have made the Large Black Momma's Boy an archetype. It sprouts up a lot in our society.

I'm not sure I had a favourite character before, but... I think Scip is now officially it. :-P

I dunno, I have a very good relationship with my mother. Actually, I call her more than she calls me... but that could just because I'm a chatterbox. And truthfully? I'd rather he call his mom too much than have to deal with something like my dad and grandmother. :[

It's probably wrong that I want to marry Scip, isn't it?

This has to be the funniest page yet. I'm quite literally lol-ing. <3

Lovely dialogue. Love the middle panel too. Perfect.

Is Gene the one saying "Never. EVER."? It doesn't seem to fit Ben's facial expression.
