I know this comic has nothing at all to do with movies and for that I apologize. Well, not really. Because I’m really happy with the way this one turned out.

I feel like I kind of keyed into something with the idea of Tom and Jared breaching reality – or at least what passes for reality in a cartoon universe – and ideas just seemed to spring up from that.

I mean, if you’re familiar with the concept of the Event Horizon (or at least saw that crappy movie starring Sam Neill that shares the same name), then you’re pretty much familiar with the idea that anything could happen if you ever manage to make it to the other side. Once I started playing around with that, I had this flash where maybe Tom and Jared met their alternate-reality female doppelgangers. Because, in my mind, it made sense that if Tom and Jared from this reality were able to breach the event horizon of irony, their female counterparts from another dimension – mirroring their actions in every way (minus the Y chromosome) would have breached it as well.

It’s science.

At any rate, once you get the notion to draw your characters as women there’s no way you can turn away from it. And this is where we ended up!

So I hope you enjoyed the comic because, truthfully, I’ve got nothing else for you right now. I don’t really have my eye to the movies this weekend because there’s nothing new I want to see. Body of Lies – the title makes it sound like a movie Maddona made in the early 90’s – looks to be the big draw this weekend (although I’ve heard it’s not good and probably won’t make back it $90 million + budget).

I don’t know what’s going on with Russell Crowe lately, but there have been very few movies I’ve wanted to see him in recently despite how much I enjoy his performances. I thought he was good in 3:10 to Yuma. I saw him in American Gangster (although that really wasn’t his film and the story cheated us the big showdown between his character and Densel Washington’s character.) I feel like I have to face facts that the guy who was 100% intensity from L.A. Confidential is gone, replaced with something… doughier.

Interestingly enough, I feel the same way about Kevin Spacey. I much prefer the Kevin Spacey of L.A. Confidential, than, say the Kevin Spacey of The Life of David Gale. Kind of random, but there you have it.

Anyway, Cami and I won’t be around this weekend for movies anyway. We’re seeing Jim Gaffigan in Omaha on Saturday. I guess tickets were in such high demand, he added a second show that night. Meanwhile NOBODY EVER COMES TO IOWA! Ugh. Frustrating.

We’re really looking forward to the show, though. We’ve had these tickets since April, if you can believe it.

Alright! Closing up shop for the week! Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend! See you here again on Monday!
