Our Prom-night alternative continues, going in a somewhat strange, yet all the while enjoyable way. Who knew?

Noah’s Prom debacle certainly is interesting, so I wouldn’t be altogether incredibly surprised if the subject comes up one more time. Hopefully based entirely in fiction, as while Noah’s personal humiliation is something I usually interestedly observe, I typically don’t wish him ill fortune. We’ll see.

Noah’s post generated certain hostilities, which was completely understandable. What made less sense, was why some of this hostile energy was directed towards me. Nothing abrasive, but mostly requests to go into Noah’s text and actually change his words.

Let me clarify, I will never delete words from this blog, unless there is a compelling reason to. If I revoke a statement, I prefer to simply slash it out, or apologize for it later. It’s the same reason I won’t edit comics (except for typos). I feel like a certain piece of their historical value is destroyed if they are edited. I also will not change the words of either Joel’s or Noah’s posts, unless it benefits my own personal agenda to do so. This isn’t the first time I have received negative feedback concerning what one of my co-author’s wrote. Joel’s very first post garnered a bit of unpleasantness for yours truly.

On Tuesday night, I was going to perform my typical ritual of putting on some visual entertainment while sketching the comic. This week’s pick was the film “Cthulhu,” staying right in stride with my Lovecraftian obsession I am currently suffering from. I got incredibly tired while watching it, and decided that a nap was a preferable option instead of drawing.

I didn’t make it terribly far into the movie, but so far, it is really gay. I don’t mean that in a totally negative sense, but an alarm bell went off when an unskippable advertisement promoting strictly gay and lesbian entertainment. I am certain that such a market is a veritable bounty of prizes for those interested in such lifestyles. I am actually not someone who seeks out films where people hug and caress each other in general. Such simplistic delights do not peak my interest. I actively sought out a maddening lore of a sleeping alien god who shall one day rise and cause apocalyptic destruction and death on earth.

Nothing has “officially” happened yet, but I am fearful as the scale mounts. The protagonist has returned home and sees his ex-boyfriend, (who is now married to a woman), and if 99% of all movies have shown, they will . . . *ahem* . . . come together in a moment of weakness and abandon. This deeply concerns me, because it is just something I don’t have any need to see.

They have already had a flashback of the two engaging in a certain . . . activity, while discussing attractive women, but the simple proximity of their action is fearful.

At about this point, Noah would probably tell me that I am being closed-minded, but friends, let me tell you that Noah tolerated EuroTrip because it “appealed to the romantic inside of him.”

I am going to dedicate a small portion more of my time to this film, and I swear, if I do not see some human sacrifices or cosmic horrors soon, I shall be returning the disc to its sleeve, and we shall never speak of it again.

Also, I thought I would draw your attention to my friend Nic Covell’s comic (which he recently launched), “Media Empire.” Nic is someone I knew back in Alaska, and he contacted me about a year ago telling me he liked the comic, and asking for my priceless advice. I typically take a liking to anyone who writes to me as if I am a person who matters, a habit people drop after any kind of response from me.

Nic also crafted an incredibly entertaining entry for the Eyeskream 5th Anniversary Contest, so right away, you can tell that he is a cool dude. He was also the whiny, crying boy in the third panel of this comic.

Anyways, his comic is basically about all forms of media storage and appliances, prominently featuring a boot disk named Bootsy, and his lovable, scheming, refrigerator, TEDD. (That’s with two D’s!) It also features the soon-to-be-a-worldwide-phenomenon, “Food in Bags.” So go on over! Fresh newbie soul awaiting crushing over here.
