While making my rounds in Alaska, it seemed like there was a faint, faint case of somewhat overbearing parents. Nothing quite as intensive as the example we have provided today, and will be providing you for the next two comics (bringing the total to three).
Since I put this up, I have been constantly questioned as to whether or not this comic was based on a real person, with an actual overly protective parent. The answer is no, no it is not. Well, I guess in a light sense, but they were not overbearing, they just had a rather ridiculous set of rules that seemed a step over to the extreme side. That’s all I am saying. Wondering if the comic is based on you? IT IS NOT. Wondering if the comic is based on someone you know? IT IS NOT. Alright? We clear? Awesome.
Now that I am secured from all potential awkward future situations caused by mistaken identity, (get over yourselves), I can begin to discuss discussion worthy topics.
First off, I apologize for the extremely late post. I got into doing some artwork for Eyeskream, and I got somewhat carried away and totally lost track of time. (Which was rather relaxing, I must say.) I don’t know if I am allowed to post this stuff here, but I will anyways, and feed your hungry, hungry eyes.
So Erik needed me to complete some pictures for the revamped donation page.
So the first one shows up if you complete a donation, Skreamie (the eyeball) thanks you.
And then if you are just a total tease, and cancel your donation, Skreamie weeps.
Look at that image! Let it soak in. I put an eyelid on an eyeball’s eye! Nuts! Well, I guess it’s just over the pupil, so it’s more like a pupillid. Besides, I think that those are some of the best hands I have ever drawn. I am aroused by just looking at them. I mean mentally. Not physically.
Next, Eyeskream is holding a contest sometime this February, and all of the members of Eyeskream are supposed to provide some kind of prize related to their webcomic. I think Good in Theory has a few solid offers for prizes, including:
-Drawn into the comic as a caricature when a throw-away character is needed.
-Free 1 of a kind (more like 1 of 3) Pillow T-shirt! That’s right you could own this amazing object! (Your size determined after you win).
-Original artwork for a print made exclusively for this contest, and the actual print itself, signed by Noah and me. It’s classy. Take a look:
To reiterate, if you win, you get a pillow shirt (to make yourself better looking), an appearance in a comic (to stroke your ego), and a signed print with the original pencils (because it’s just amazing).
So in order to score these delights, as well as some more offerings from some of the other cartoonists at Eyeskream, all you have to do is come up and draw a comic or a picture that shows the origin of Skreamie. (The eyeball guy). While this may sound intimidating if you cannot draw, I highly encourage you to give it a shot, as if it is still an awesome idea, it has a very solid chance at winning. Is Skreamie an alien from a planet of talking eyeballs? Is he just a mutant? Did he escape from someone’s head? I will post more details as they come in. The deadline is sometime in February, the 9th I think. It can be black and white, in color, 1 panel or 2000. There are no limits. So come on! I know that some talented artists read Good in Theory, so go out there and win my stuff, because you read Good in Theory, and that makes you better than anyone who doesn’t. If you have any questions, email me, comment on the blog, whatever. I will do my best to accommodate you.
So there is your “news” for the week. See you in 7.
EDIT (5:41pm): I totally, totally forgot about the blog. Got wrapped up doing art, which I will post here soon. Hang on, I am going to start writing this late blog now.
I kind of screwed myself on time, and so, as I have been doing the past few weeks, I will have a post prepared later today, for now, it is too late and I must doze.
Check this space sometime tomorrow afternoon. (Pacific Time).
