Jacen- "Marty the Fly" -FINISHED- Longreach QLD

[jacen_c]

Greetings one and all.

It's 10:49am in down town freezing frickin cold Longreach, I'm wearing a Bomber's beanie (still on a high from the adreline fueled one point win last night- yah Essendon), fingerless gloves (so I can still open my Pepsi Max cans and grab a hand full of Peanut M&M's- the unofficial sponsor of my 24hr comic) and I have my trackie dacks tucked into my socks, bogan style!

Let's rock and roll.

Once again I shall use all of Friday and Saturday's magic words, together with the three random words I have selected from my pocket dictionary this morning- namely:

Persiflage (which I believe means banter)
Conk
Tegument (a natural covering of (part of) an animal body)

I'm also going to try and give a shout out to Mandy who is having a birthday tomorrow and I'll probably try to plug my webcomic Monstar (the second best thing to 24hr comics people!). In the words of the Mighty Boosh, "Come with me now on a journey through time and space....

Just a quick note to say that Jacen is eligible for prizes as he had to bow out of organizing this year.
The only people technically ineligible for all prizes are Troy and myself (and not being in Aus. now, I'm ineligible anyway).
Mark Selan, Gary Chaloner and Liz Argall are ineligible for the grand prize as they are part of the judges panel this year.

Just wanted to get that in up front so there's no question.
Go Jacen!

Go Jacen, Go!

Ooo... Marty McFly!... I mean Fly, hmm... Will Zombie Jesus make an appearance???

[maggie]

Well I guess my comment about being eligible is moot now. LOL
But I'm still happy it's a monstar comic!!!

Fear not Maggie- It's not a Monstar comic- that was just a cheap gimmick to start me off. Here's page two:

Having a few technical problems connecting. Here's the next few pages (I also realised when I scaled the earlier pictures I didn't use Smart Resize- will redo them later if I have time):

AH! God bless the lovely black page.

Nice work so far, Jacen. I'm chuckling all over the place.

[antains]

I can vouch for breachy chuckling.
Fantastic use of space, Jacen.
And your fly!
If this was the mature section, I would be using expletives to describe how much I want your fly in my comic.

Thanks folks. Perhaps I should have done an "All in the Dark" issue- 24 pages of black and called it "Smell the Glove". Here's another page:

I'm back, baby! Computer seems to be working again- I can once again logon and post- here's a few more pages. Past the point of no return now- in the words of Bon Jovi: "Whoa, we're half way there, whoa yeah, living on a prayer":








Getting very cold now at the computer- may spend more time in front of heater drawing and do scans in bulk (3 or 4 pages at a time). Computer will be on if anyone wishes to Skype chat, but no sleep and 24 pages makes Jacen go CRAZY!
