And thus ends The Posterior Effect storyline. The moral of the story? Be sure to flex your butt muscles every day so you can be victorious against bullies and win the affections of the ladies!
Godspeed, all. Godspeed.
Like many of you, I went to see the final installment of The Lord of The Rings trilogy on Wednesday night. What can I say? It certainly delivered on many levels for me. I got to see everything I wanted to see and probably more. The battle scenes were excellent. They raised the bar in terms of visual mayhem. And all those wide shots and soaring, overhead views of sweeping landscapes! It’s enough to give a cineophile vertigo!
I don’t know if I could properly dissect the many ways I enjoyed the film. Truth be told, I’m still digesting it two days later. If I spend any time thinking of it, not only do I reminisce about The Return of The King, but I also marvel at just how well made ALL three movies were. If Peter Jackson doesn’t nab the Best Director Oscar this year for the overwhelming accomplishment of his trilogy, the blood of the Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences voting block will wash the streets of Hollywood. Watching the movie makes me want to read the books.
I guess if I were to pick one thing about the movie that I loved, it has to be the army of the dead. Those guys were fierce.
Not much else to say at the moment. It’s been a roller coaster week. Saying goodbye to Movie Punks and Movie Comics in one day was quite a blow. Then there have been boring ups and downs in my personal and professional lives. Nothing negative, just not worth rehashing here. Then on Sunday it’s my birthday.
Odd. I’m looking more forward to this birthday than I did when I turned 25 last year. Something about the off-years really captures my attention. I’m ready to celebrate. I’m looking forward to the holiday.
Have a great weekend, everyone.

I realized that as I was working on today’s comic, I hadn’t prepared an incentive sketch for everyone to view when the voted for Theater Hopper at buzzComix. By the time it had occurred to me, it was well past midnight and Tom’s sleepy-time.
So instead of drawing a whole new sketch, I half-assed it and reinterpreted panel 3 of today’s comic. Click on the link if you’re interested. It’s the first full color incentive sketch I’ve ever done. It’s a movie one-sheet for an upcoming action picture starring Cami and Charlie.
Gotta tell you it feels good to move the action outside of that bathroom. Now that Cami and Charlie are free from their confines, we’re one step closer to resolution and a return to more topical humor in the strip.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve enjoyed bringing Charlie into the mix. But just as I felt I was repeating myself at the end of 2004, I’m starting to feel like I’m repeating myself in this longer storyline. Look over the last three strips. There’s a dramatic dramatic Dragon Ball Z Super Sayin moment in all three of them. I guess in more highbrow art circles, they would call that “a triptych”, but I’m just ready to go back to fine-tuning my strengths.
Doing this storyline was like working a different set of muscles. Let’s say the deltoids. But I’m ready to start working my biceps again because that’s what gets the ladies talkin’! The biceps or the pectorals. Oh! Oh! Or the glutes! The glutes!
Anyway, we’re winding things up. I wanted you to know that.
I’ve been really excited for this weekend because Cami and finally buckled down and said, “That’s it! We’re seeing all the Best Picture nominees this weekend and that’s final!” We’ve already seen Ray and The Aviator. This weekend we’re planning to see Million Dollar Baby and Sideways.
I know, I know. If you comb through the last few blogs and were given a nickel for every time we said we were going to see these films, you’d

So here’s the follow up to the cliffhanger I left you with on Friday – the continuation of Tom’s misadventures after sharing spoiler information about Zombieland on Twitter.
Friday’s comic was based on real-events. Things from this point on are entirely fictional. I felt compelled to share that just in case anyone was confused.
In case you happen to be new to the site, this isn’t the first time the Nerd Police have slapped the irons on Tom. Their first appearance was WAAAAYYYY back in 2005 when Jared rats him out for confusing Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy with Doctor Who. Much hilarity ensues.
I had been looking for an excuse to bring the Nerd Police back, even though the characters undergo no development in any way, shape or form. They’re just a couple of nameless thugs with horn rim glasses and I like ’em that way! The concept is funny, at least. Well, funny to me, I guess.
Anyway, not much else to talk about with this comic except to say stay tuned for Wednesday’s comic and watch where the story line goes.
In the meantime, be sure to listen to The Triple Feature movie podcast live tonight at 9PM CST over at TalkShoe.com
We took last week off after my hard drive crashed and Gordon had a biopsy taken off his tongue which left 5 stitches in his mouth. Good times!
But this week I know we’ll at least be talking about Zombieland and probably more. Also, I know that Joe just got back from Baltimore Comic Con this weekend, so maybe he has some stories to share about that.
So be there to listen LIVE at 9PM CST. Participate in the live chat, ask us questions and even get on air with us (if you are so inclined.) We hope to see you there!
