Paved Paradise

I apologize not for the lateness of the comic this week, but for the prerequisite level of nerdiness you must have in order to fully appreciate it. It’s a WoW reference, and for that I am sorry. It just seemed too good to pass up, what with the new California cell phone laws in place starting this month. Leaves your hands free to do other things, like texting, typing on your laptop, putting on your makeup, shaving, putting on your clothes, taking off your clothes, taking off a passenger’s clothes, or you know, driving.

Switzerland, (not the country) one of our associate writers here at RHoM and the inspiration for the character of Eugene, is going through some rough times right now. I don’t know, nor do I particularly mind, if any of you are of any particular faith or not, but please keep Switz and his family in your thoughts, prayers, etc, be they directed at Jesus, the Greek pantheon, Qui-Gon Jinn, or whomever. I’ve known Switzerland for quite a long time, and have the pleasure of calling him one of my best friends, so my thoughts are certainly with him. Hang in there, buddy.

Well, kids, that’s it for this week. I won’t see you next week, as I’ll be gone for a bit and Artista will be in charge of putting the comic up. Don’t let her burn down the house or nothin’.

Life is very short and there’s no time for fussing and fighting, my friend,

PS Playing “Margaritaville” on Rock Band is the best thing ever.

And We Have A Winner!

Congratulations to Unicorn for winning our first ever contest! Here is her winning entry. Enjoy it! Yay!

We’re cleverly using this submitted comic to take a week off and try and get a couple buffer comics sketched as Artista is without a tablet. We’ll be back with regularly scheduled programming next week. See you all then.

Don’t ever hit your mother with a shovel; it’ll leave a dull impression on her mind,

PS We did a guest comic over at Juxtaposition Comics! Check it out!

Hello, Something Awful Forums

Howdy folks. This week’s comic is up late due to a miscommunication between the producer and the artist. My first day of work was today, and as such, I went to bed at some ungodly early hour of like, ten or so. We’ll see if we can’t get the comic up on time regardless of my new work schedule. But here it is! And a blog as well! I sit here, sweaty and gross (EW SWEAT), resisting the urge to shower in order to post a proper blog. It’s what the people demand! Although, as soon as they invent the means to smell over the internet, the people will likely be demanding I shower instead. Ah well.

So! Less than two weeks to enter our contest! Full details can be found here! Please enter! It’ll be fun, I promise!

Artista lost access to the wonderful tablet Ginger had been loaning us, so we’ve got some different art style this week. Also black and white, because black and white means fancy. Everyone knows this. Quick clarification for the comic, Wednesday hates the song “All-Star” by Smashmouth with an intense, fiery passion, while the rest of us here at RHoM love it and are prone to bursting into rounds of it in the car. Wednesday also has a special way of getting me back whenever I play All-Star, so check the comments for that soon.

And with that, dear readers, I leave you ’til next week. In the mean time, leave some comments, peruse posts past (passed?), join the facebook group, and rock out to “All-Star”. Oh, and enter the contest. Adios.

What do you hear?

PS “All-Star” isn’t actually a secret song in Rock Band. Much to our disappointment.

Sweet Mother Of…!

Happy Mother’s Day, everyone.

Love you Mom,

Phoenix

PS This is a bonus comic. Back to your regularly scheduled programming on Monday.
