Greg is referring to an older storyline that started around here so if you need a refresher, dive into the archive.

Also, panel 2 features a fun, plushy version of Harggy, one of the stars of Nomlings. Someday, I'd love to make some Nomling plushies.  Harggy would probably be the first.  But I think this is waaaaaaaaaay down the line.

Btw, this is comic number 555 and normally, I'd try to sneak in a Kamen Rider Faiz reference somewhere in there.  But it didn't really fit for the tone of the thing.  So I drew it in there when I wrote the number on the page:

Faiz!

So here's some reposted stuff from Wednesday's update just in case you missed it:

SEPTEMBER


Schools back!  Wheee!!  Or boo depending on your feelings on school.  Meh.  Surprisingly, I only have one show in September!  September 7-8, I'll be at Baltimore Comic Con which is always hella fun.  And if that wasn't enough, Saturday night, Super Art Fight returns to the Ottobar where I will be defending my SAF Championship title!  We'll be on stage with Tribe One and Adam Warrock.  It's going to be an amazing weekend and you should fucking get your ass down to Baltimore!

The weekend of 14-15, I'll be hanging out at SPX.  Don't have a table sadly.  Nor did I figure out how to do a food truck thing which bums me out.  But I'll be there to hang out with comic friends and all that stuff so come on out and support indy comics!

OCTOBER


October 3 and 5, you can catch me at the Artisphere in Roslin, VA  as an artist in residence with the DC Conspiracy.  From August 21 to November 3, members of the DC Conspiracy will be on sight at the Artisphere to demonstrate their comics process and to promote the upcoming Spring 2014 Magic Bullet anthology.  We'll be working on pieces that will appear in the anthology so that will be fun.  You can make your own comics, too!  There will be blank comic pages around for you to comic on.  Oh yeah, there's an Andy Warhol exhibit around there, too.  So check that shit out!

MOUSE OVER



Yup, panel 4 took the longest time to draw. Ever.

PANEL 1

Ally gives Greg a stern look.

By the time Ally called me out, it was already too late.

PANEL 2

Greg and Ally sit on a couch.  Ally watches the telly, while Greg regards her.

GREG (Caption)



I quit my dream to be around more. I thought that we'd slip right back into our old, comfortable routine.

PANEL 3

Ally is introducing Greg to Annie.

GREG (Caption)



But when she introduced me as her "friend," I knew.

PANEL 4

No scene.

GREG



So I let her go...

This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
