Guess who found a sucker that said yes when I asked her to marry me?!? This fuckin guy. That was the easy part, because then came the mandatory 8 million photos you have to take leading up to and at the wedding. I fucking hate taking photos and yet I love my super beast fiancee—so I had to take some engagement photos recently. These are them photos.

Everytime I head out to Los Angeles I make sure to stop by certain spots to check em out and bask in the nerd glow that I’m surrounded by. This right here is one of the best comic shops I’ve ever set foot into, in terms of actually carrying mini-comics, sketchbooks and all kinds of other rad shit that you just can’t find anywhere else. This right here, is Meltdown Comics.

Here’s the loot I picked up from Meltdown. Rob Schrabs art book But I Can’t Do Anything Else, which is really amazing. Robs book Scud: The Disposable Assassin was really the first book I picked up that showed me there was comics besides shit like X-Men, Superman or Batman. It blew me away and Robs new book is no different. I was glad they had copies of it at Meltdown because I couldn’t find it in Nor Cal.

Scenes from an Impending Marriage is how did my fiancée put it “Exactly what our wedding planning is!!!” I bought it and really love this book. I’d rank it with the best thing I’ve picked up since I grabbed Orc Stain.

I also picked up Jim Mahfoods Scum Too which is a sketchbook of random drawings.

So for my mothers 135th birthday she wanted us all to head out to Disneyland to marvel at the absurdly high priced sodas,  be amazed at the sheer amount of tiny asians tourists, become annoyed at the sheer stupidity of the general public and it’s inability to walk in a straight line while doing damn near anything else. Check, Check, and check all three were accomplished with ease. Here’s some random pictures I took when I wasn’t busy dodging three foot failed abortions headbutting me in the genitals.

The Beast as a little squirt in a goofy hat. 20 years later—not much has changed.

This is gonna be my wife? Lord help me.

My nephew. He’s 32, I’m a giant

C Jr. Nephew no. 2 who apparently had to shit every time we were in line. He fucking rules.

Twin Towers of Terror.

He wanted a Kobe jersey. Instead he got a Ron Artest summer dress.

On Sunday my girl, her mom and friend Cera ran the San Francisco Marathon. They knocked out 13 miles in two in a half hours. Very well done ladies. Here’s some flicks from my journey around the track.

I might enter next year. I’ll train extra hard that way when I start the marathon I can smoke a carton of cigarettes and drink a handle of  Makers Mark.

So digging around through random folders yesterday I came across another real gem (and by gem I mean pile of shit) of a comic I had buried and forgotten about. This is circa 2005 when a group of us had decided to take a comic art class that taught us how to draw comics. As you can see by the above page, the class didn’t nothing for me and I should have stuck to drawing Johnen Vasquez rip off art. At least then people would buy my crap. The comic was part of our final where I believe we had to draw 8 pages of sequential comic work. I drew 11 or 12 but never finished the story because I have the attention span of a spider monkey on a 3 day coke binge.

So here’s two pages of this travesty for you to gasp at. The whole comic is centered around a jaunt we made to San Francisco for an extra credit assignment for this art class. I have no idea what else it’s about because I haven’t read it in 6 years or so and honestly, I’m not about to re-read this hunk of shit now.

I’ve also listed the “Soundtrack” videos to the music I was apparently listening to while drawing this. I still really like the Copeland song. VHS or Beta can suck my Blu-Rays monster penis.

I’ll post more of this on Thursday as I have another new WTD strip for tomorrow’s WTD Wednesday!
