Wow. If I might get personal for a minute, I must mention that things
are going awfully well for me. I was able to finish up everything that
I had to do for the quarter, I think I did decently on finals, and ALL
of my employers seem at the best very pleased with me and at the worst
very understanding. Hopefully all these benefits will trickle down to
you, the reader, in the form of more regular updates and maybe even some
new features! Won't that be nice? Have a great winter break everyone!
:^) -Lars
PS: Aren't you guys excited for Narnia
tonight??

12/3/2005
Good luck on finals everybody! -Lars

IF YOU SEE ONE HARRY
POTTER MOVIE IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE, SEE GOBLET OF FIRE. Of course, that's
coming from someone who's never read the books and doesn't intend to,
so who cares what I think? Really though, I enjoyed it the most out of
the four, mostly due to it's quirky humor. But again, some friends of
mine have thought it was the worst of the four, so you'll have to make
up your own mind.
Anyway I'm out of here, have a Happy Thanksgiving, and try not to think
about those dead Indians I've been forced to read about for two months.
Later! -Lars

Okay, it's pretty obvious at this point that something's up. Here's the
deal. Everybody (who pays really close attention to this blogginator and
has a really good memory) knows that I work at a certain panda-themed
chinese restaurant. What you might not know is that I ALSO do work
for the psychology department at my college, creating drawings to be used
as prompts in language experiments.
Currently, I am working on my biggest work order ever, for which I will
be paid the most money ever. This is what has been eating up the majority
of my free time, and why the part of my brain that draws has been too
exhausted to make comics for you guys in a timely manner.
The bad news is that I'm just over halfway done. The good news is that
the deadline for these is just over a week away, and that I'm learning
to budget my time better. So after that things should be back to normal
around here. That will be especially nice because I want to start updating
on Wednesdays. That's right, three comics a week... perfect for another
delve into continuity. We might
find out what happened with that girl
that Billy liked, or maybe I could further mock
this latest
travesty.
Ah, but I say too much.
The movie recommendation for this week is Zathura,
I saw it and it was freakin' sweet. To me the best thing about this movie
is also the worst: the characterization is very realistic. The kids are
bratty like a six and ten year old, about as smart as a six and ten year
old, and swear about as much as a six and ten year old would realistically
swear. (Which is more than you would expect in a PG movie.) The downside
to this, as Ari and Jo pointed out, is that little kids can sometimes
be annoying when they're bratty and dumb. But hopefully if you go in expecting
a realistic performance then it should be easy to enjoy the ride, and
an awesome ride it is. Anyway, I'd better stop talking before this turns
into a Russian novel. -Lars

11/7/2005
Yeah, sorry about missing a day. But hey, I was doing pretty good there
for a while right? I'll make it up to you guys somehow, really. As soon
as I have some time where it's easier to keep my eyes open. I do hope
you like today's comic though! And here are some movie recommendations
for ya:
Wallace
& Gromit: When have these guys ever not been awesome?
Elizabethtown:
A romantic comedy, but it has a brain and is mostly about life.
Shopgirl:
Steve Martin produces, stars and wrote this pseudo-comedy.
If you wanna see them see them soon cuz they're going fast! -Lars
|
|
10/31/2005
Okay, still haven't had time to work on the site, but we're nearing a
break through!
I can feel it! -Lars
|
|
10/28/2005
I finally DID see Wallace
& Gromit, and it actually was quite enjoyable. Good stuff. Not
his some of this OTHER stuff... pshaw. -Lars
|
|
10/21/2005
Well, I'm still really busy. But there's a reason that site development
has been slow, new fan art hasn't gone up, and the blogginators have been
rather sparse. I've been doing a lot of drawings for the psychology department
at my school, working a lot, and next week I have three midterms. However,
I've gotten a lot of those drawings done, so after next week things SHOULD
start clicking around here again, despite the new hours they've given
me at work. (Wow... I just realized I have two jobs... CRAZY!) But yeah,
keep comin' back and I hope you like the comics! Anyway, I've got to go
to work. See you later! -Lars
|
|
10/14/2005
Nothing to report except that I'm a little behind in everything... Just
you guys wait a couple weeks though, I got big plans or something! Maybe!
-Lars
|
|
10/10/2005
Whew, back to the randomness for a while, but we may do another story
at some point and maybe I'll have to start updating more often and I'll
also have to finish the work on the site I've been doing so I can show
it to you guys but now I gotta go to class!!! -Lars
|
|
10/7/2005
Okay I'm sick of this story so I'm just gonna rush through it. Hence,
there will be updates on Saturday and Sunday to get through the last two
comics, and then on Monday we will be back to the randomness with something
completely unrelated! Yay! :^D -Lars
|
|
10/3/2005
No blog today cuz I gotta go to class and then I gotta go to work! But
I will tell you that the new Blockheads Character's Page is halfway done!
OOOOOO! :^D -Lars
|
|
9/30/2005
Oh man, it seems like I was gonna talk about something in here today,
but I was so busy this week and so tired right now that I forgot what
it was. Oh well. How are you guys liking the continuity I been doing?
This little thing is more than half over at this point, but I'd be interested
to hear what you think about this slight departure from normalcy. -Lars
PS: See if you can spot the dangling participle in today's blogginator!
|
|
 9/26/2005
So I saw Corpse
Bride, it was pretty good. Probably the best stop-motion animation
I've ever seen from the standpoint of craftsmanship, it was worth seeing
it just for that. I actually think Wallace
and Gromit will be better though, at least, I think I'll laugh more.
Not that Corpse wasn't funny, it's just that the first half, while still
very beautiful to look at, wasn't all that funny. And you couldn't understand
the lyrics in the first song. But the second half was super funny, so
I mean it was still good.
Anyway I also got my Panda job back, so I'm doing that again, this time
on the UCSD campus. Come stalk me, I dare you. -Lars
|
|
9/23/2005
Corpse
Bride comes out today! EEEEEEEEEEEEE! :^D -Lars
|
|
9/21/2005
Did you guys notice how there's over 10,000 hits on the counter now? I
think that's pretty kickass. Thanks everybody! This is all for you! :^D
-Lars
|
|
9/16/2005
Wow... I am tired. But more importantly, I'm going to San Diego this weekend!
It's back to school for me! See y'all later! Don't have much else to say
really. Y'all better be stoked for Corpse
Bride and Curse
of the Were-Rabbit though, right? Hooray for stop-motion animation!
WOOOOOO! -Lars
|
|
9/12/2005
HEY EVERYBODY! It's great to be back! New Zealand was nice, I'll tell
you guys about it sometime. But not right now.
What I will tell you is to see Crash.
(R) It is about race-relations in Los Angeles, and I honestly think
it should take Best Picture or something. I mean it won't, but it should,
it was REALLY intense and awesome and the acting was really good. See
it.
What isn't so good is Naruto
on Cartoon Network. They basically simplified all the dialogue and
took out all the blood so that it would only appeal to kids, when it really
should appeal to all ages. It's crappy now. I mean you know how when they
intentionally make the people talk in slow, unnatural ways so that a four
year old could follow the plot? Or when the acting is intentionally bad
so that the situations won't be as intense? Kind of like the new Star
Wars movies? Like that. Also Naruto's voice sucks. They even replaced
the real awesome theme song with a new crappy one. If only there was some
way to see subtitled episodes in the original Japanese... *coughFANSUBScough*...
Or, y'know the uncut DVDs will probably have that too.
I dunno, I'll probably buy em. -Lars
|
|
8/24/2005
So I saw The
40 Year Old Virgin and it was in the same league as Wedding
Crashers, in that it was funny as hell, go see it. NOW mister! -Lars
PS: Yes, I am really going to New Zealand, and since I'm not taking my
laptop there will be no updates while I'm there. But I'll still be checking
the guestbook and my email when I can, so drop me a line won't you? See
ya!
|
|
8/12/2005
Does anybody know what good movies are out right now? -Lars
|
|
8/12/2005
Okay so I saw Dukes
of Hazzard. I would say the weak point was that a lot of the jokes
fell flat... but some of that could be just that nothing is as funny since
seeing Wedding Crashers. I dunno, I mean it's entertaining, but just nothing
groundbreaking... see it if you have nothing better to do. Umm... I guess
that's it. -Lars
|
|
8/8/2005
Because I am busy with my buddies, there will be no new blogginator today.
Except this one. -Lars
|
|
8/5/2005
Have you ever played broomball? BROOMBALL?
I played it last night for the second time. Greatest thing ever. We have
been lied to all this time... there is only one true sport, and it's name
is broomball.
Next birthday, gather 50 of your closest friends and rent out your local
hockey rink for some late night party broomball. (Official broomball has
only 12 players, but the game is much more fun with 50 or 60.) They should
have everything you need to play. (Sans a few brooms, but a few of you
can switch off. A broomless player can still kick the ball like soccer.)
WARNING: Proper party broomball is played WITHOUT skates. You WILL eat
ice.
But afterwards, you will weep with joy, and at the same time, weep with
the bitter knowledge that so much of your life has been wasted not playing
this game. But now you have been armed with knowledge! SO SALLY FORTH
MY BROTHERS! SEIZE THE DAY!!! -Lars
PS: I am so very very tired... X^O...
|

8/2/2005
I never know what to write down here anymore. But I'll tell you one thing...
I'm starting to get tired of the format of this strip... it just seems
limiting lately. I mean, has anyone noticed me trying to push the artwork
in those four little panels? I'm not saying I would ever stop doing it,
but I might need to start working on that new Stick-Man story real soon...
stretch my art-legs a little more or sumptin'.
And the format of the whole site could stand to be redone too. I think
i'm gonna dedicate some time and maybe redesign everything... make it
all more pretty and functional and add some new stuff. Gotta get started
on that now that I've gotten caught up on the rest of the stuff in my
life.
Oh, and buzzcomix is back, so we
have two vote buttons now. Much better than switching them out every time
buzzcomix goes down. Enjoy voting! :^D -Lars
|
|
7/29/2005
Whew! And there we go, five comics in one week. I'm quite tired. -Lars
|
|
7/27/2005
Sorry today's comic was late, I got sick yesterday and ended up sleeping
for nearly 14 hours, and then there was work this morning... But at least
I got my comic up before Scott Kurtz
right? Haha, take that dude. (Not that I know him, or that he reads this.)
Anyway, I also saw Wedding
Crashers [R] the other night, and I gotta say it was freakin'
awesome. That movie had everything, it's a must see. (But not for kids.)
I really did laugh the whole time though, check that out. -Lars
|
|
7/25/2005
Okay, I'm going to TRY to update every weekday this week. That's five
new comics. Last time I tried that it didn't work cuz of internet issues,
but I think I've got a handle on those now. Here's hoping! :^) -Lars
|
|
7/22/2005
Hooray for sleep deprivation! -Me
|
|
7/20/2005
 Well,
Comic-Con was great.
In addition to seeing certain import models, I also spoke briefly to Gabe
& Tycho, Scott Kurtz, and
Stephen Notley. None of them have
any clue who I am, but it's nice to rub elbows with the guys who inspired
me to start this site.
Plus I got a Flight Two book,
and got it signed by Doug TenNapel
and Michel
Gagne. Oh, and me and Brent met Bruce
Campbell. Good times. (Spike
and Mike's was a bit thin this year, but Roybertito's
killed.)
I also saw Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory over the weekend. I laughed the whole time
and afterwards I felt like I had been eating candy all day. I'm suggestible
like that. Seriously though, check that thing out, you'll love it unless
you remember who Gene Wilder is. -Lars
|

7/15/2005
REPEATED ANNOUNCEMENT: Because Brent is writing the next Stick-Man
story, all Be-in-a-Comic business
is now going to be handled directly by him. Hence, links will be changed,
and the emails you have sent me will be forwarded
to him. Those of you who have written should be hearing from him in
the next week or so. Probably.
Anyway, I guess I really don't have much else to say. See you at Comic-Con
tomorrow! If you see me, maybe I can sell you a shirt!
(I'm thinking of trying to hock them out of my backpack, hope that's kosher.)
-Lars

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Because Brent is writing the next Stick-Man
story, all Be-in-a-Comic business
is now going to be handled directly by him. Hence, links will be changed,
and the emails you have sent me will be forwarded
to him. Those of you who have written should be hearing from him in
the next week or so. Probably.
I saw a couple more of those movies, specifically War of the Worlds and
Fantastic Four. I enjoyed Fantastic
Four while I was watching it, but the more I think about it after
the fact, the more I think it was really corny. But if I had fun then
that's what matters right?
As for War
of the Worlds, it scared the hell out of me. I learned something new
about myself: I am terrified of death rays. I HATE death rays. I am using
the word "hate" about death rays here, okay? But yeah, excellent
movie, I recommend it to everybody. While you're watching that I'm going
to look into that Destroy
All Humans game as a possible cure for my unusual phobia. I heard
the Invader Zim guy does
a voice in that.
And are you kids excited for Corpse
Bride yet? I know I am! :^)
Finally, Comic-Con International
is this weekend in San Diego. Hope to see you guys there on Saturday!
Hopefully I'll remember to wear my LarsComics shirt. -Lars
|

6/26/2005
This comic is up a day early cuz I'm gonna be in Yosemite with the family
for a few days. While there, me and Brent will work on storyboarding the
new Stick-Man Story he's been writing. Of course a new Stick-Man story
means new guest appearances from real world type people, namely you! So
check out the Be in a Stick-Man Comic
page and send us an email won't you? We'll see you guys in a few days!
-Lars & Brent is right here too.
|
|
6/24/2005
There is a new Stick-Man story coming, this one being written by my bro,
Brent. I'm sure I could mention other stuff but I'm too tired right now.

6/18/2005
Sorry about the lack of updates recently folks, the past week has been
a busy time for me, what with moving home from college for the summer
and all. But don't worry, updates should now resume unimpeded, I got ideas
for several more comics and I had the presence of mind to write them down.
Anywho, it's SUMMER! Congradulations to those of you who are graduating,
and a "Party Hearty" to all! And aside from general jubilation
and beach going, summer brings us lots of MOVIES! And some of them actually
look good this year... let's take a look.
I gotta start by talking about Batman
Begins, starring Christian
Bale. I saw it a couple days ago and it was excellent. Freakin' awesome,
a contender for film of the year. Not your average Batman movie, that's
all I have to say. Go see it. I'll wait for you. Go.
Back? Okay then, moving on. The only other movies out right now
are pretty much kid movies. I just saw Howl's
Moving Castle, (also starring Christian Bale as Howl,) which was a
lot of fun if you don't mind anime, and if you can find it in your area.
Madagascar
has been out for a while... y'know, I was excited that it was coming out,
but now that it's here I have no desire to go see it... oh well. And the
only other interesting movie that is out right now is Shark
Boy and Lava Girl in 3-D. Yes, 3-D. Regardless of content,
the 3-Dness sounds like a hoot. I figure I'll go with a few friends, and
if it sucks we can make fun of it the whole time.
Oh, Mr.
& Mrs. Smith is out already too? That one went right by me. Go
check it out if you wanna see attractive people shoot their way through
a predictable plot.
Now, if you don't need to see a movie right now, and you're willing
to wait a week, Bewitched
is coming out. It looks kinda cheesy, but the chicks seem to think it's
interesting, so I dunno... maybe go with a group?
War
of the Worlds opens June 29th. GO ALIENS!
Fantastic
Four opens July 8th. I wonder how that one will be...
Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory comes out July 15th. Now THIS one looks
like fun... The movie that scared me when I was six, recreated in a scarier
way, and released in a year when I'm old enough to appreciate the candy-themed
torture of children.
Tim Burton and Johnny
Depp, keep 'em coming dudes. Edward
Scissorhands ruled. (These guys are also making The
Corpse Bride, opening September 23rd!!!)
Anyway, Sky
High comes out July 29th. I dunno, the trailer amused me.
Dukes
of Hazzard comes out August 8th! The preview cracked me up, so I'm
gonna check it out, it looks fun as hell.
And if you like scary movies, The
Skeleton Key looked pretty scary to me... that one's August 12th.
I'll go see it if somebody holds my hand.
Anyway, I'm gonna stop there... I could go on, but that Chronicles
of Narnia movie doesn't come out until winter, so yeah, stopping.
Did I leave out any good flicks? Let me know. Anyway, back to the madness
for me! WOOOOO! Summer! -Lars

6/8/2005
Wow... I must give huge thanks to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday
today!
I really wasn't expecting anything since this is finals week at my college,
but the phone calls, voicemails, emails, facebook
messages, text messages, AIM chats, myspace
comments, and even a friendster
testimonial, just kept coming. (You crazy Alek! Good lord, even an
Open Diary note? I didn't even
know you knew I still had one!) It was great that I was able to talk to
so many people even though schedules and distances were inconvenient for
pretty much everyone. Thanks you guys, you all mean the world to me. I
would actually count this birthday as one of the best I've had in a long
time, so thank you. I feel loved. :^)
As for today's comic, I'm not actually having any trouble with my computer,
it's just that I have weird thoughts sometimes. Hehe. :^D -Lars
|

6/7/2005
I'm 22 years old! :^D -Lars

6/6/2005
Y'know, I've been thinking... what if the characterization in Star Wars
was bad on purpose? I'm not some die hard fan trying to justify what I
saw here, just hear me out. There was some pretty hardcore violence in
places despite the fact that it was a "kids movie." So maybe,
maybe making the audience not care about the characters was done in order
to lessen the impact of those gruesome scenes.
Some kid would be watching, and rather than being disturbed by all that
violence, he just says, "Oh, well that isn't real, real people don't
talk like that..." I think that if the drama was played correctly,
and you actually felt the pain of the characters, the movie would've actually
been REALLY intense, y'know what I mean?
The other theory is that they used the first draft of the script and did
every scene in one take, basing their actions on the idea that acting
and story didn't matter. Rather, the movie was created for the geekier
fans of the movies, who just wanted more droids and spaceships to memorize
and crash into each other.
In any case, the effects were amazing. And I can't help but wonder...
what if someone created a movie in a world as visually fantastic as this,
but with incredible depth of character and story as well? I think that
would be a hell of a show, the possibilities with all those aliens and
droids and stuff are endless, and it "breaks my heart" to see
all those awesome things wasted by making the story take a backseat to
the effects. I'd like to see a Star Wars story that had nothing to do
with Jedi or galactic politics or whatever. Send R2 on an adventure of
his own! :^) I dunno, that's just my opinion. I've always thought that
the priority in any story should be, well, the story. Set up, conflict,
climax, y'know? But I guess not everybody feels that way. Oh well, not
my movie. I'm done.

6/4/2005
I'm trying to give these comics titles that are more clever, like in Polymer
City Chronicles. That guy puts some brilliant puns in his comic titles
and the comics themselves, I'm always amazed.
Anywho yeah, Star Trek was a great show. (I only mean The
Next Generation.) Too bad they don't make any of that stuff anymore,
but I guess the era of the character-driven space-epic is over. That's
right, I saw Star Wars 3 today.
I'm not gonna give any spoilers, but let's just say that I really enjoyed
the first 20 minutes of the movie, and as for the last 2 hours, I could
take it or leave it. It was just okay, y'know? Normally I would be really
annoyed by a movie that didn't make me care about any of the characters,
but that's just what I've come to expect from Star Wars movies today.
At least we got some good R2-D2 action in there, I swear, that
little blue droid is CARRYING those movies, all of them. And yet,
with all the horrible dialogue, they even managed to give R2 beeps and
whistles that sounded a bit forced. I don't blame R2 though, at least
his delivery was believable.
I just wish they had sent the script to me three years ago so I could've
rewritten the dialogue, cuz the script had "first draft" written
all over it. Oh well, woulda shoulda coulda. Peace. -Lars
|

6/1/2005
Sorry I'm late again folks, but at least there will still be two comics
up this week as per usual. (I hope.) It amazes me how I seem to sit on
these comic ideas for longer and longer before I use them. It's probably
cuz I have so many. A three per week schedule could be in the near future.
Anyway, in honor of today's nerd-themed comic, I believe a geek out is
in order!
WARNING: GEEK OUT IN PROGRESS...
So on Memorial Day I'm watching Cartoon Network's big summer teaser show,
where they're showcasing a bunch of the new stuff they're cooking up.
One show struck me in particular, The
Life and Times of Juniper Lee, in that it seems extremely similar
to the Disney Channel show called American
Dragon: Jake Long. I'm not a particular fan of either show, but let's
review the facts.
American Dragon is about a hapa preteen guy with a younger sister. He
is taking over the job of his grandpa, which is to regulate matters between
our world and the world of magic. He is advised by an old talking dog.
Juniper Lee is about a hapa looking preteen girl with a
younger brother. She is taking over the job of her grandma,
which is to regulate matters between our world and the world of magic.
She is advised by an old talking dog.
WHAT THE HELL?! WHY?!?!?! Is the entire animation industry based on espionage?!
I haven't seen anything this bad since A
Bug's Life and Antz
came out at the same time! In fact this is WORSE! I mean sure, Jake turns
into a dragon while Juniper does not, but COME ON! The talking dogs are
the SAME BREED for crying out loud!
You KNOW that these two shows are too similar to have ever come out of
the same studio. Perhaps great minds think alike, but not THIS much alike.
Somebody stole an idea. For shame. I think Disney's the culprit but that's
just me. Does anyone wanna place bets? Not that we'll ever know, I doubt
either of these companies wants a lawsuit. But still... wow.
Anyway the only other interesting thing is that Naruto
hits Cartoon Network this summer. It's Japan's most popular show today,
and it's NOT because it urges kids to "catch em all," it's because it
is a GOOD show with a GOOD story and AWESOME characters and drama. So
if you're not internet savvy enough to download
the 130-ish episode torrents
online, or you just can't watch anything with subtitles, be sure to tune
in, and maybe the voice-overs won't suck too bad. But I must warn you...
I've never met anyone who didn't like this show. ANYONE. Just a warning.
Peace.
END GEEK OUT.
Good night everybody! Be good to each other! :^) -Lars

5/27/2005
The comics and their randomness... Anyway, I get out of school and come back to Manhattan Beach in a week or so. So that's excellent, look for me there. I still haven't seen Star Wars 3, but I'm sure I'll get around to it. (It does not garner a link, I mean it really doesn't need the help y'know? :^) ) Also, my birthday is coming up! I'm so freakin' old! :^O -Lars
|
|
5/23/2005
Not a lot to say. I can't wait for school to be over. Be excellent to each other, kids. -Lars
|
|
5/20/2005
And so concludes our Ugly Buttkins
special. I hope everybody had a good time, and feels a little warmth
in this resolution. Does this mean this is the end of Ugly
Buttkins' adventures? Hell no.
I got some more ideas I'm kickin' around, so don't you worry. But in the
meantime, we will now return you to your regularly scheduled poop jokes.
;^) -Lars
|
|
5/18/2005
And so continues our Ugly Buttkins special that began Monday,
be sure to turn in Friday for the exciting conclusion! (For those of you
who saw this comic coming, big whoop, I did too.) Also, NEW
FAN ART! :^) -Lars
|
|
5/16/2005
Hey there kids! I bet you were wondering when it was time to bring back
good ol' Ugly Buttkins!
Well wait no longer, because this week is a there will be three comics
dedicated to the poor little guy! What will finally become of our unfortunately
named friend? Stay tuned! -Lars
PS: SUNGOD REPORT TO FOLLOW... If you remember Sungod, you weren't there. ...END REPORT.
|
|
5/13/2005
HAPPY SUNGOD! That's right, it's the day of the Sungod
Festival! As many of you know, I attend UCSD,
and today is the day of the year when all the students get drunk, wander
around campus, and try not to get arrested! Also I think Ludacris
is playing or something.
Anyway yeah, I already got my 32's! Have fun everybody! And a big thank
you to the designated drivers out there! :^D -Lars

5/10/2005
I'm really sorry for the sparse updates for the past couple of weeks everybody, these trips home are killing me. But those should be the last ones for a while, so good stuff. I need to figure out a way to make it up to you guys... Shout out to the Mira Costa Drama Department by the way, you guys friggin' rock. :^)
So I finally saw Hitchhiker's
Guide. Honestly, I think I would give it a B- at best. It's just not
the way I would've done things... They tried to do too much, and didn't
explain a lot of things enough as a result... I felt the Vogon poetry
scene was especially botched. And don't tell me that they HAD to mash
it all in cuz it came from a book, a lot of the stuff wasn't in the book,
and that led to a lot of other creative decisions that I didn't agree
with either. But oh well... visually it was awesome at least.
Anyway, I also saw Amityville
Horror. Scared the hell out of me, fun stuff. :^) I guess that's about
it, and I'll try to get a jump on those comics so there won't be anymore
late updates. Bye! -Lars

Did you guys catch the new Family
Guy and American
Dad episodes? I missed American Dad, but it's all being rerun on Cartoon
Network in the next couple of weeks anyway, so no big deal. Shoot, I
still need to see The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy too... Apparently it's doing well
at the box office.
But I'm just
so busy lately y'know? I went home for the first time this quarter this
past weekend, busy busy busy... -Lars

I got a job at everyone's favorite Panda
themed chinese restaurant! I really like it, cleaning out steam tables,
cleaning toilets, and sweeping and mopping the entire store is quite a
workout! But my favorite part is the customer service. From the thrill
of someone choosing an entrée because they liked the sample you gave them,
to the shame of losing a sale because you didn't order more of that food from the kitchen in time, the
drama of the counter is truly intense. But oh is it satisfying work, standing
around all day serving up love... I could go on. :^)
Anyway, The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy comes out on Friday, I read the book
when I was younger so I wanna check that out. Also
the new Family Guy is this Sunday
evening. I already watched it on the computer... not the impact of original Family
Guy since we already know the show, but still very funny, and definitely
Family Guy. Check it out. -Lars

WHEW! I been busy folks. You may notice that I've added some new navigation buttons and a nice little Blockhead Comics title logo.
These are just the first in a long list of changes I'm making to the site, to make a tighter, cleaner, and more professional LarsComics.
Keep an eye out for more changes in the future! (And much thanks to the people I talked to about the rollover images, your input is much appreciated!)
Anyway, what else? Haven y'all seen Bonus
Stage? That crap's hilarious, check it out. :^) -Lars

Okay, let's see... there was definitely something I wanted to talk about...
Oh yes. This weekend I saw Kung
Fu Hustle. It's awesome hilarious, go see it, it opens more widely
this Friday. Um... yeah... that's all for now, I been way tired this weekend.
Later. -Lars

If you liked today's comic and would like to learn more about eating animals,
here is an article
for you to read.
Speaking of reading material, the recent death of the pope reminds me
that I should pimp Angels
and Demons. (The book begins when the pope dies and they have to pick
a new one.) The prequel to the Da
Vinci Code, but an unrelated story, I think it's actually an even
better book. More people die. :^) So read it.
Anyway, on a completely unrelated topic, I had pizza
today for the first time in two weeks, which was really good. If I don't
eat pizza for too long I start to feel anemic, because as everyone knows,
pizza is the only food with enough energy to fuel my mighty super powers.
Yes, I have super powers. All of them. Stop asking. -Lars
PS: OMG, did I forget to mention the beautiful new
Gallery section?! I spent hours setting that thing up, go check it
out! (Even if it is just a redesign of the old Junk section.)

Well I'm finally back on track this week; got the comic up the day it
should. It's based on a true story, which is already obvious. Did you
know that I've had the same song stuck in my head for two days now? "A
New Hope" by Blink 182. Friggin' annoying. School stuff is lightening
up a little, so I've started breaking out old projects! We might see another
episode of The Pirate and the Canadian
in the nearby future. Anyway, that's all, happy Spring Break if you haven't
had it already! :^) -Lars

I seem to keep putting the comic up a day late. I gotta work on that.
Anyway, guess what? Blockhead Comics was one of this week's comic picks
at Digital Strips this
week! They do a weekly webradio show about webcomics, and they were talking
about us! (Listen
here!) Sure there was a little criticism, and Blockheads weren't mentioned
until the 20-minute mark, but they laughed, THEY LAUGHED, and that fills
me with happy! Digital Strips
will now be permanently linked from the Links page.
Outside
of that... I saw Sin
City this weekend, it was awesome! See it if you aren't bothered by
violence, gore, or heinous acts. It's rated R for a reason folks, but
if you liked Kill
Bill, then you might like Sin
City even better. Or not, I really can't say for sure. Later! -Lars

In honor of April Fools Day, I put up the comic a day late. Yeah...
Anyway
I'm back at school this week. Busy busy busy. Can you say $200 in art
supplies? Plus I broke my cell phone... blah. Anyway I've changed the
colors on the Blogginator 5000 graphic yet again, it'll probably stick
this time. Also I think we're at TopWebComics
permanently now, or until further notice. I saw the Ring Two, it was okay
but not as good as the original. I liked the cameo from Gary
Cole, it reminded me of Office
Space a little.
Anyway,
I'm still working to keep up with school and fix up the website and such.
Keep comin' down and I'll see you guys on the guestbook/forum
dealy. :^) -Lars

Well, spring break is over and I'm back in San Diego. A bunch of stuff
happened this break, I got my first cavity, hung out with my homies and
met some cool peeps. Also I got a new cell phone, but don't worry, it's
the same number. There was a toga party at some point, and apparently
I'm money and don't know it. Overall a good time.
I saw Steamboy,
it was epic in an unretarded way. See it if you can, the average reviews
you'll see are based on a different
edition of the movie. Also, BuzzComix
died again, so we have again switched back to TopWebComics.
That's strike two, we may switch permanently if this keeps up. But please
feel free to vote,
as it still makes me feel just as special. :^) Happy Easter/Spring! -Lars

Hello! WOO, SPRING BREAK! Although right now it's not that super, cuz
I'm kinda bored. But Zack and Ari helped me with that today, so that's
pretty cool. I saw Steamboy
with Ari, it kicked ass. Go see it. But yeah, I'm just kinda kickin' it
in Manhattan Beach for spring break, so be sure to give me a call or whatever.
Oh, and did you guys hear that there's a new
Tim Burton movie coming out? I'm pretty sure it is stop-motion animation,
and quite morbid. That should be friggin' sweet. I guess that's all to
say except Happy Birthday Brent! (That's my bro.) -Lars

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! Are you wearing green? I am! Yeah, I won't say
I'm drunk, but let's just say that I'm feeling very
Irish right now... Of course by the time you guys read this it probably
won't be St. Patrick's Day anymore. But it will still be time to get drunk,
because by then I will be on Spring Break! WHEE! Hopefully updates will
be uninterrupted for the next week, but there might be issues with next
Friday... We'll see what happens! Party hardy people! (Party Hearty?)
WOO! Oh, by the way, did you notice that I totally updated
the Store? Cuz I did, it's all pretty now. -Lars

So I saw Robots
the other day. It was pretty fun, not the greatest movie ever or the most
original story, but definitely a fun and funny feel-good movie with some
pretty impressive animation too. I had fun.
I really should put some more work in on this site... I've been meaning
to put up a New-Reader's page and fix up the junk
section, make it a Gallery section instead with space for Fan-Art and
such. But right now it's after 4am so time for sleep... -Lars

Omg, Robots
comes out today! I'm so stoked to see it! It's gonna have all my favorite
things! Computer animation, stupid jokes, crazy animated action, and oh
yeah- ROBOTS! Of course, our local
robotic resident has his feelings on the matter, as shown above.
As far as real life goes, I had my last class of the quarter today! That
means more time to spend drawing! As soon as I stop been way too tired
and feeling sick that is... -Lars

Whew! That Staring Contest week
sure was fun! Did you get any good staring contests in? I hope so!
Sorry for the update a day late everyone, but it's the last week before
finals and it's really hard not to slack off in just about everything,
especially with all the parties there were this weekend! Um... I mean...
I have a lot of work to do! I should
be able to get comics up on time for the rest of the quarter, but please
don't be surprised if there are any more hiccups in the next couple of
weeks. Back to writing that paper... Study hard everyone! -Lars

Whew... sorry folks, I guess I'm two days late with the update. Terrible,
just terrible. Rain and sickness and thunder and lightning, I'm exhausted.
And look at this Blogginator... it doesn't even have any title art. I
need to get right on this. Next week there will be new blockheads on MONDAY,
WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY! Hopefully that'll perk
things up! (And of course there will still be a comic this Friday
too, although I still have to draw it.) :^) -Lars
Remember
to vote!
