Jack Frost

Jack Frost

Poor Jack Frost, mistaken for a lecherous creep. I suppose that’s what you get when you gad about lurking around windows.

The personification of natural processes isn’t exactly a unique event in the history of mankind. In the realm of myth and folklore everything from deities to giants probably began its conceptual life as the personification of some natural event or object. Jack Frost is no different. Thought by some to be the bringer of winter himself, Jack Frost has been a relatively popular figure in stories for quite some time and has made his way into modern popular culture, even starring in well known Christmas movies. Other tales tell of how his job is simply to freeze standing water or to create the lovely patterns of ice you find on your windows on very cold mornings. Either way, when Jack Frost arrives, winter isn’t very far behind him.

This is a short blog post as I have final projects due and haven’t got very much time in which to finish them. I wanted to get something up for today, since I had (shamefully) missed a comic last week and would hate to repeat such miserable mistakes for two weeks running!

I hope everyone is having a nice start to their holiday vacations! For those of you out there still finishing up some work or classes, stay strong! It will all be over soon!

Master of Disguise

Oh jeez, sorry for the late update! I had the strip ready but forgot to upload it!

This is the second time a poor little old lady has been mugged in the dark in this comic. There is clearly something wrong with me.

The monster featured in this comic (also for the second time, though he looks far more menacing this time around) is the dread Popobawa. As a creature of the night, it has been known to stalk victims, terrifying the local populace in various East African cities and towns. The Popobawa, it was believed, would creep into an unsuspecting sleeper’s home through their window, and would often rape them. Hysteria afflicted these towns off and on for decades with regards to the Popobawa but they always seemed to escalate around the time of elections. It’s been thought that political factions whip up terror in an effort to push people toward voting for a specific candidate.

Though I suppose a bat-monster that rapes people is also a possibility.

Not a lot of blog post to read today as I am extremely tired and have to leave for Maryland tomorrow. As stated on Tuesday I will be at table W-33 with William at SPX. I’ve got single print comics, buttons, t-shirts, and Liz made stickers from comic panels! How exciting! I’m ridiculously nervous about the trip but I’m sure it will be good. Hope to see some of you there!

On Patroll

On Patroll

Trolls and their ilk are a troublesome lot. They ruin international efforts in infrastructure management, they are mean spirited, and worst of all, they smell awful. “But Scott,” you ask (and rightly so), “what are we to do about this problem? You, who are so wise in the ways of monsters should know!” Well I’ve got a few words for you!

I have no goddamn idea. They live under bridges, how do we even begin to get them out of there? They can hold out there forever, or need I remind you, they are trolls.

In all seriousness, trolls are rather interesting creatures to read about. Products of Norse Mythology, (as so many well known monsters and creatures are) they have been depicted as horrible monsters as well as mere interesting oddities. They have also made their way into role-playing games as a staple monster for adventurers to destroy. You know you’ve made it as a monster when you appear in the D&D Monster Manual.

There is some new fan-art up in the fan-art section! There is some artwork from Liz featuring our gnome friends from last comic and a comic I completely forgot to mention (like an idiot) by Chris S. Check them out!
