Last weekend, I went to a small class on how to make comics, run by Darren Close, creator of the comic <a href="https://www.killeroo.com/" target="_blank">Killeroo</a>.<br />
Today's comic was mostly done before the weekend however, and therefore doesn't benefit from anything I learned.<br /><br />Except maybe the speech-bubbles.<br />
<br />
Buying more speech-bubble mixture,<br />

The other obvious alternative for preventing school shootings is to ban school.<br />
I can't think of any other solutions.<br />
<br />
In other news, I think I just named these characters Frank and Ernest.<br />

It's my girlfriend's birthday on the weekend, so this comic is a tribute to her.<br />
Her grandmother once described her as being "tall, like a lumberjack".<br />
She is not.<br />

Happy birthday Emerald,<br />

Hello all. How was your Christmas and New Year?<br />
<br />
Mine was good.<br />
This year I had Christmas at my house. I fed 8 people.<br />
Boy are my nipples sore.<br />
<br />
I even managed to not kill my Nana with the steps in my house.<br />
I'm going to take that as a win.<br />
<br />
My new years resolution was to not have a cat land claws-out on my face at five in the morning.<br />
Unfortunately I broke that resolution the first chance I got.<br />
Now I look like an extra in a cheap gangster film.<br />
<br />
Wishing everyone a happy new year,<br />

Hi. I'm King Longburns.<br />
I like drawing animals, people, and animal-people.<br /><br />I don't like hands though. Drawing hands is a pain in the arse.<br />
It's like, I have to figure out the arms, then I have to stick a bunch of tiny, wiggly arms on the end.<br />We should all go back to flippers. That's what I say.<br />
<br />
Stubbornly refusing to go back to flippers,<br />

I don't know what it is about this white shirt and sweater vest combo, but it seems to be my go-to uniform for average, generic dudes.<br />
It's possible that, deep down, I have a secret longing to be a librarian or something.<br /><br />
Actually, yeah, I could go for librarian. That sounds pretty sweet.<br />

I've been watching Bob Ross on Netflix recently, so today's comic is made entirely of happy little accidents.<br />When I was finished, I bought a paint brush and beat it up.<br />
<br />
It's an important part of the process.<br />

It doesn't sound comfortable.<br /><br />Plus, what if they say no?<br />

You kids and your Pokemon Going,<br />
<br />
Back in my day you couldn't get lost playing Pokemon outside at night because Gameboys weren't back-lit and you couldn't see what you were doing without a light source.<br />
<br />We had to pay a man for the privilege of even trying to see an Exeggcute, only to have it run away.<br /><br />The graphics were so simple, you just had to imagine what colour the Pokemon were, because they were all made up of seven different shades of green.<br /><br />
And you try and tell the young people of today that, and they won't believe you.<br />

There's something new on the streets this week, causing gangs of youths to descend on our neighborhoods.<br />That's right. As if by the work of some insane genius, the world has suddenly been gripped by Pokemon Fever!!<br />
The symptoms include: <br />-Going outside. <br />-Meeting new people. <br />-Visiting the sites in your local area.<br />
Make sure you protect yourself and your family from this terrible evil!<br />
<br />I myself have managed to (largely) avoid this affliction by having an old phone with buttons that won't run it.<br />
<br />
In unrelated news, I am getting myself a new phone so that I can play Pokemon.<br />Wait a minute. That wasn't unrelated at all.<br /><br />Making serious plans to take over the local park,<br />~King Longburns.King Longburnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07104942375488956967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402540427358663631.post-71111789283431186172016-07-08T16:38:00.000+10:002016-07-08T16:38:23.087+10:00Duck and Cover, Under the Covers.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I did the required research for this comic, and I can assure you that the likeness to the real M.C. Escher is pretty damn good.<br />
Or, at the very least, "Oh yeah, I can see that".<br />
<br />
Because, as we all know, if there's anything that's important for humour, it's making sure that M.C. Escher kinda looks like M.C. Escher.<br />
<br />
I can also assure you that M.C. Escher had a cool hair-do that's fun to draw.<br />
Thanks, M.C. Escher.<br />

For the last few weeks my time has been divided between two things:<br />
Post-surgery care, and Total War: Warhammer. Or as I like to call it, "pre-surgery care".<br />
<br />
Those poor soldiers.<br />
Battlefield surgery is the worst.<br />
At least, it is if I have anything to say about it.<br />

<br />
So, so many bats.<br />
<br />
Hello all, and welcome back.<br />
For today's comic I drew tens of thousands of individual bats in a big cloud, coloured them all in one at a time, then I removed lines from them until the cloud looked like it was blending into one entity.<br />
That's really the only way to achieve the desired effect.<br />
<br />
It was worth it to be able to use the word portent, even if I refuse to use it correctly.<br />
Who knows though. Maybe there is a<span style="font-family: inherit;"> correct contex</span>t to use the plural "portents".<br />
This isn't it though.<br />
<br />
In other news, this Saturday I will be celebrating at the second annual King Longburns' Festival of Birthdays. There will be feasting, revelry, and a p<span style="line-height: 1.3;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">iñata/incredibly one-sided trial by combat.</span></span><span style="line-height: 1.3;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The result of last year's </span></span>p<span style="line-height: 1.3;">iñata/incredibly one-sided trial by combat is currently mounted on my kitchen wall.</span><br />

Well, I did it.<br />I both exhibited at, and survived exhibiting at Supanova.<br />
<br />
I wasn't able to post this last week, so this image ended up being exclusive to Supanova for the weekend, but I am now unleashing it on the internet for all to see.<br />
<br />
My first convention appearance went pretty well. <br />The only reason I didn't make a tiny profit is because I overspent like crazy getting everything I needed.<br />Thanks again to everyone who came by to see my display, and double thanks to everyone who bought something.<br />
It was really great to see people enjoying my work. It really meant a lot.<br />
<br />
Also thanks to all my friends and family who came by to show their support. That also meant a lot.<br />
As did the purchases that you made.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I even did a commission drawing for my brother. The request was for me to draw "the inevitable awkwardness you and I would experience after realizing we are 100 feet tall", which I think I managed to capture pretty well:<br />
