After a week of awesome guest strips, it’s time to delve once again into this lurid MAC Universe mystery.

An adventure of such epic proportions deserved a little class on the production end, so I enlisted my buddy, the sensational Evan “Doc” Shaner to take care of today’s colors. You may also remember Evan from such guest strips as this one, such pinups as this one, such Superboys as this one, and, of course, the Doctor.

His extraordinary talents speak for themselves.

Speaking of talents, don’t forget to check out Eugene/Adam WarRock’s first single “Starving Artist” which is available as a Pay What You Want download. It’s like Curt said, “Everybody likes to talk about supporting small artists, so try to give a dollar to WarRock if you can. He’ll use it to make more songs, then you give more dollars, and this is what we call “trickle down raponomics”.”

And after you buy that you’re still in a spending mood, please buy some art from me so I too can afford to go to cons to meet you rad people AND be able to pay for food. You know the drill, but if there are any new folks here, if you’d like the original art from any of the strips, just email me at thechrishaley@gmail.com and I’ll let you know if it hasn’t been sold already and how much it’ll be. And don’t worry, I have incredibly low art self-esteem, so I’m not ripping anyone off.

Be excellent to each other and party on, dudes.

Special strip today. Words and balloons by C. and me while the little paper guys were done by our supremely excellent friend Shane McDermott. Pictures staged and laid out by Shane’s equal in supreme excellence, Lindsey Turner.

CONTEST ALERT

DRUDGE SIREN ALERT

Do up a papercraft scene with the two guys posted above and send it to me at curtofranklin@gmail.com and our totally impartial team of judges (us) will pick the three best and send out prizes!

Most ballin’ prize: A LBFA prize package including a free copy of LBFA Vol. 1, personalized with a sketch and scribblings and a comic from each of our collections, also personalized for you with some markers or whatever we feel like doing. Other junk we decide to throw in the box also included.
Sort of ballin’ prize: A sketch all did up properly by Chris and a page from my diary, randomly selected.
Least ballin’ prize, but it’s free so don’t complain: Green Day’s Dookie CD

Also, whoever sends us the worst scene will personally owe us $5 (each) as an anti-prize, so think carefully before you put tiny paper versions of us in Kama Sutra scenes.

You’ve got until midnight two weeks from now (Wed. January 27, 2010) to send in the pictures!

No doubt he is on his way to make a supersonic man or woman out of someone.

I am still accepting sketch card requests for $10, so if anyone is interested, email me.

Guest strip by Jemma Salume! Thanks for stepping in for us, Jemma!

We’re trying to put the finishing touches on this collection of our strips and this original three page comic we’re doing for it is turning out to be a lot more work than we anticipated. We want to make the book worth it since you can get most of the stuff inside it for free online. We’ll have more details about it soon, but it’s shaping up to be pretty cool.

Anyway, enough excuses.

In other news, we did an interview with our friend Jessi Reid over at Fandomania. They edited out all of our curse words. Fuck the word frak. Just censor us with #%^& next time, it’ll be alright. Regardless, thanks again for the interview!

Our friends Eugene Ahn and Chris Sims have a new comics-themed podcast going at War Rocket Ajax. Their first interview with Matt Fraction was pretty amateur hour so they spiced it up by mentioning Chris and I a whole bunch.

The plan as of now is to be back to regular strippage by Friday. Let us see how we do with that.

In this reality, Chick-Fil A is a purely Satanic venture.
