Free artwork! And something about my roof on fire as a kid...
Thursday, January 20, 2005
Ok, first things first. Marco Magallanes, a newcomer in the world of comics, did a five pager for us in Western Tales of Terror #3. He is the man like you wouldn’t believe. His story can be seen here , written by the equally talented Greg Thompson.
Now, Marco, being one hell of a sport, is launching a little contest on the Hoarse & Buggy boards in which he will be giving out one free commission (PG-13, no furry porn you big, dumb freak of nature) to the H&B board member that pimps WTofT#3 the hardest. If you aren’t a member, sign up. If you didn’t tell your local comic shop to order WTofT#3 do it now. Again, if you want your commission to be furry porn, don’t bother doing either.
Separately, the weirdest thing happened the other day. I told Robin the following story:
One year, when I was a kid, I was lying on my bed with parents during the Fourth of July. A bottle-rocket flew into the window, hit our ceiling and exploded, causing our ceiling to catch on fire.
To which Robin responded, “That sounds weird.”
“No, it really happened.”
“But your ceiling looks fine.”
“It was years ago, we fixed it.”
“But it has the same old-school tin pattern.”
She didn’t believe me. I called my mom up and asked her to tell Robin about the time the ceiling caught on fire.
It never happened.
I must have dreamt it or some shit as a kid and adopted it as fact. It was pretty odd.

Unless, of course, your ACTUALLY remembering the modified memory of an alien abduction (bottlerocket was really the tractor beam) and your "parents" have been covering it up ever since...
Who _else_ could perfectly restore the ceiling? Only aliens, my friend... only aliens... - 4:41 PM

Hmmm...
Could be. I think at some point I should tell my story about 423.
I get chills just thinking about it. - 7:41 PM
