Today’s buzzComix incentive sketch is nothing specifically movie-related, but rather, a full body sketch of Tom as Huggy Bear-inspired pimp, who we saw just a scant two weeks ago. People in the forums tell me he’s pretty popular, so I whipped up this sketch during a meeting at work that didn’t involve me in the least.
I’m making this the incentive sketch for today because I’m thinking about making t-shirts and this is a design that could potentially be for sale later. If you want to say you saw it during early development, click here.
I hope you enjoyed today’s St. Patrick’s Day comic. Hopefully those of you who are legal will drink responsibly on this, the greatest holiday ever invented. New Year’s Eve is probably the only other holiday that comes close in liquor consumption, but what I like best about St. Patrick’s Day is that we don’t need some symbolic fresh start to a new year as an excuse to get plastered. Instead it’s more like “What day is it? March 17th? LET’S DRINK!”
(kids under 21, don’t try this at home)
Today’s comic also marks a milestone of sorts. Today we’ve racked up 250 comics written, penned and colored by yours truly! I think I’ll probably be in greater slack-jawed amazement once August rolls around and Theater Hopper celebrates it’s 2 year anniversary, but 250 strips is an accomplishment in its own right.
Seems like anniversaries are making the rounds lately. Questionable Content just scored it’s 100th strip and Homestar Runner just logged it’s 100th Strong Bad e-mail! It’s a really good one, too. In WIDE-SCREEN! You movie lovers will appreciate that.
One last thing about the incentive sketch/t-shirt design. I’ll probably be posting more t-shirt designs to the forums, so if you want to leave your two cents about what you would like to see (as well as preview the other sketches), you can do so there.

Jared sure do love his soady-pop!
Have you guys ever tried mixing in Hot Tamales with your popcorn? It’s really good. A little bit spicy, a little bit salty, a little bit sweet. It’s like the poor man’s kettle corn.
I’m not sure where I first picked up the habit. I think it was from a babysitter that had weird taste in snack food. In retrospect, it is a little gluttonous. Popcorn isn’t good enough. It must have CANDY it in! Could be worse. I could be adding M&Ms. "Melts in your mouth" my ass!
I know today’s comic is a little ribald, what with the drinking going on in the fourth panel. But it’s not like this is the first time that alcohol has entered into the comic as a plot device. I wonder if Jared resents being characterized as a drunk from time to time? He’s actually a very respectable chap!
I want to remind everyone that I have two new shirt designs for sale in the store. The pre-sale ends Wendesday, March 8 – after which I’m going to remove them from the store so I can concentrate on getting them printed up and mailed out as efficiently as possible. If you don’t like the new designs, I brought back an old favorite!
I’m still working on the Theater Hopper: Year One book. Every time that I think I’m close to being finished, I forget about all the small details that need to be wrapped up first. Gotta go back and correct the errors Cami caught in her proof and I have to write up commentary for the photo tutorial I’m doing. I think since laying out the comics and writing the commentary for all 156 of them was 80% of the work, I keep thinking I can kick back a little bit. Last week kind of threw me off my work schedule as well, so now I have to get back on track.
It would be really great to get the cover artwork assembled and colored so I could share that with you guys. But I also have to finish doing my taxes and there’s a guy coming to the house to fix our washing machine.
It just doesn’t stop, does it folks? ;-D
