If I may quote Joe Martini (aka Martiniman from the comments) (aaka this guy), “A comic about Curt & Chris readin’ comics? Man. No one’s ever done that team-up.”
So, even though “Curt” got back from France last week, Curt didn’t get back until last night, so this is probably the last comic post I’ll do for a while.
Don’t worry, I’m sure Curt will have me back begging for scraps in my cage in the basement next to Little Richard in no time, so it’s okay.
Since this is probably the last post I’ll do for a while, I wanted to say a thing I always mean to say which is : LOOK IMMEDIATELY BELOW THE POST! THERE IS A BLOG THAT I DON’T THINK ANY OF YOU EVER NOTICE!
I also wanted to say that while I was working on this comic, I had to try to find the cover of the second All Star Superman to use in the first panel. While I tried to stay on task, I rather quickly found myself looking at scenes from the series and blubbering over how great both it (specifically) and Superman (in general) were/are.
Anyway, I had to make a thing about it to try to stop crying.
I hope you like it.

This was me last night.
No joke.
It was ridiculous.
Anyway, this whole week has kind of been off thanks to HeroesCon, so today’s strip will probably be up very late.
Possibly “tomorrow-late”.
It’s a good one though, so I’d rather put the proper time in than rush it.
Things will be back to normal next week.
Unless there’s a national holiday or something next week.
Pssh, what’re the odds of that happening though?

What am I forgetting?
I swear it’s right there on the tip of my tongue.
There’s something I’m supposed to be doing.
Man, what is it?
You may have noticed that it’s Tuesday and here it is no comic.
Sowwwie! Try to stay mad while you’re looking at that.
Seriously, Curt was draggin’ his ass all over Spain, suitcase in hand yesterday, and I was draggin’ my ass all over Tennessee trying to make it back from HeroesCon, crazy old Superman comics in hand.
These things happen when you’re out there making things happen, but fear not, the new comic will be up tomorrow just as soon as possible.
We promise.

Dear Internet,
Please stop worrying about Asterix.
Whether or not we like him, Asterix is long, long dead.
So, you know, he doesn’t really care.
That was a joke.
He cares a LOT about whether or not we like him.
He’s at home crying and wiping his eyes with his crazy ass moustache every night hoping that each new tomorrow will be the day we start liking him.
And so to make both Asterix (even though he has done nothing for us) and all of you feel better, I’m going to publicly declare that we are fans of Asterix.
And before any other European comics feel slighted, yes, we also like Blacksad, Judge Dredd, The Smurfs, Lucky Luke, and virtually every other non-American comic character.
But mostly Tintin.
Nobody gets hit in the head more than Tintin.

Every day at LBFAHQ we get hundreds of emails asking for more behind the scenes looks into the process of making “Let’s Be Friends Again : The Webcomic”.
With Curt in France, I figured now was as good a time as any to once again peer behind the curtain.
Here is a preview of tomorrow’s strip…
Pretty magical seeing the magicians at work working their magicks, eh?
Long-time LBFAns will notice that Curt’s hair is slightly different in this panel to reflect recent changes in our overall continuity.
We expect this will probably garner huge media attention from all the regular mainstream sources and have already set up a satellite link with Curt at the Eiffel Tower for our expected appearances on Larry King Live and The Colbert Report.

The strip will be late, not going up until late afternoon/early evening.
I apologize mightily and take all the blame for this delay myself.
Then I will carefully redistribute the blame into small needles and stab Chris everywhere with them while I escape on horseback from the throng of Chris fangirls.

And with that, the two best parts from Spider-Man 3 have been accurately represented at Let’s Be Friends Again (the website) in animated gif form.
Now, no one can ever say that we didn’t do that.
But the real reason I’m posting that gif, besides that it’s awesome, is because it is obviously showcasing someone who is happy about something, and that is the feeling I am trying to let you know we are feeling.
Why? Because we were interviewed about comics, our comics to get particular, by a website that we already liked even before they asked to interview us.
That website is The ISS and the interview is right here.

First and foremost, I’d like to make sure that everyone knows that the “tweedy, arrogant professor” in our (now legendary) 50th strip was our mentor/hero/friend, Joel Priddy.
What some of you who are less familiar with Joel’s work might not realize is that Joel was actually responsible for drawing the cartoon version of himself in said comic.
It was very cool of him to do it and a big thrill for me to get to have a quasi-collaboration with him again.
While we’re speaking of people being less than observant, I figure now is as good a time as any to mention that we are now bearing (and baring) advertisements.
You may notice one just to the left of what you are now reading. At the moment of my writing this it is an ad for some kind of space-wolf that is apparently great at philosophizing about design.
I have no reason to believe this isn’t the kind of thing that a space-wolf would be great at, so I just accept it at face value.
It’s not a big deal, but if anything over in that space that has now been designated for “advertising” looks interesting to you, by all means, please click upon it.
Also, the recent comments section is now located just beneath the ad in case you hadn’t been able to locate it lately.
As the guy who is mostly responsible for what the comic looks like, I’m pretty proud of the latest strip. Not because of the art itself (though I do like that), but because thanks to this strip I now realize have a great career ahead of me in interior design for preschool classrooms when this comic thing doesn’t work out.
Whoa, that thing’s getting dangerously low! I better wrap this up.
I’ll try to be less boring next time.

No comic today. Chris and I were both held up this week thus our latest piece of brilliance won’t debut until tomorrow, or Saturday for anyone reading in the future or past.
If you are reading from the past, hello from the future. Things are great here! No problems at all!

So Chris did a comic for somebody else. And he informs me of this by just sending me a link to it.
Am I mad? No. I don’t get mad. I get lawsuits.
Also, I’m mad.
So much for the bromance. So much for bros before hos. (Kevin Church, writer of The Rack, is a ho. I base this on no tangible fact, simply the direct causality implied within “bros b4 hos” that anything to harm a bro-ship is a ho.)
I remember when Chris and I first started this comic, and it was all like this
and now Chris and Kevin are all
Way to go, Kevin Church. Way to go.
