Well, long story short I'm a Graphic Designer. I'm pretty good at type, layouts, and business systems but horrible at illustration when using the computer, like with Adobe CS software. I'm good at drawing and painting in real life but when it comes to transferring that in a digital format I fall on my face. So I decided to try and improve my skills by making a comic... Not sure how far I can go with it though, I'm already losing ideas:

Apparently I'm too drunk, stupid and tired to figure out how to link sets with flickr and photobucket doesn't read colors off of jpegs too well. So I give up on an easy link for now.

The opti with the plug wires reminds me of the spaghetti monster.

Looks great, but I could have used more cowbell.

I identify with 003. Glad I went with the LM2 instead of the LM1.

Hah, I'm pretty embarrassed. My design work is of way greater quality. I made all these yesterday getting progressively drunk throughout the day. The Optipus is the only thing I like so far.

I just got another program specifically for pencils and inking... it translates way better than Adobe Illustrator but a WACOM is still in need.

Thanks guys.

I think the first one should be machined on a TB cover. Wood buy.

That window one is pretty good stuff. So true. At the dragstrip the other weekend they asked me to roll up my pass side window to put the number on it. I said "hopefully it will want to" and the guy said "yea I know they suck, my son has a 96"

Learn how to use the pen tool in illustrator, and there will be no need for a wacom tablet. Wacom tablets arent very accurate.
