brain vacation
Wednesday, March 4th, 2009this is a page from a new mini comic I’m working on but obviously, it’s relevant pretty much every day.
If you live in Brooklyn I highly suggest you attend La Strada’s album release tomorrow. It’ll be good, trust me. And here’s your visual funny for the day.
ps: also, Gabrielle Bell’s reading at KGB bar on friday! All this really goes against my whole “hiding in my studio” all the time but sometimes it’s good to get out.

I’ve felt like that for months. That thing is gone for good.

Aww, he’s flipping you off with a mini middle finger…that is so cute.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Hilarious. I’m really liking your comics - I only just discovered them the other week and am seriously appreciating the humour. This, I think, is genius
March 4th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Man, really nice work on all the expressions. And everything looks so clean without the bounding boxes. Kudos!
March 4th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Yeah, happens every day to me too, and the composition is cool.
March 4th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
How’d that little bastard get the saw in there?
March 4th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
ha! very funny
March 4th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
that little brain left a mess behind him!
and wait’ll he tries to take a dump — then he’ll find out how much he needs the rest of you!
March 4th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Hahahah he has an outie
March 4th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Nice!
March 4th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
Aw he should have at least cleaned up your gaping head wound before leaving.
March 4th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
this exactly how i felt during my Spanish class…
March 4th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
Sometimes it’s good to get out, but only if there’s beer at the other end.
March 4th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
A skull swinging open sounds less like “BOING!” and more like a horrible giant eating fresh cabbage.
March 4th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
Sounds right to me Mr. Douche, but boing is just so darn comicky.

oh dear lord… my FP marathon ends just days after beginning. what do you do when there’s not a ‘next’ button??
anyways:
thanks for the years of comics Julia! i know you don’t have to share, but ya do anyways and i appreciate it!
March 5th, 2009 at 5:17 am
tylam- thats exactly how I felt a few days after I started reading them a year ago. The answer is, you add a new homepage to your tabs.
I’m curious where Kid Douch gets the sound effect experience. I’m hoping its taxidermy, because the alternative is that you’re a brain surgeon, and I don’t like the idea of trained medical practicioners routinely making the sound of “a horrible giant eating fresh cabbage” by working on the box holding the soft thinky stuff.
March 5th, 2009 at 5:18 am
they should have a lighter touch
March 5th, 2009 at 10:50 am
tylam- you buy the fucking book! that’s what you do. Only about 20 of the comics currently online are in the book, the other 100 plus ones are not.
March 5th, 2009 at 11:19 am
Ima be buyin one within the next couple weeks hahah just have to budget myself right. Being poor is gay
March 5th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
julia, i’d happily buy your book and let you go on a bender with the money i’ve parted in exchange, but since you ignored my message to you on facebook you made me cry! hows that for customer service!?
March 5th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
THAT’S the reason you won’t buy the book? like I’m supposed to keep track of every single little thing on facebook out of fear of not selling books? I’m sorry, but that’s fucking retarded!
March 5th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
christ Wertz, you taken too many angry pills today? how about i stay clear of the subserviant irony and you can it with the over-the-top- uncalled-for abuse, eh? i’m sorry that it got you pissed off but i kinda thought that you wouldn’t take it that seriously what with you… being the creative force of the goddamn fart party! i’ll be in touch on Facebook, but for the sake of the normal FP fans, please leave that kinda attitude for the “i’d fuck you/ you’re hot!” dicks who deserve your wrath.
PS when i finally get the book, i want it signed!
March 5th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
point well taken! but that doesn’t mean the comment was any less retarded. Not like I don’t say retarded things all the time though so I’ll retire my finger pointing for the night.
I’m gonna sign your book with feces
March 5th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
I s it just me or is there a certain “olden timey” feel to the drawing style in this comic? Maybe Julia’s face has always had a sort of retro look and this “only the face” comic accentuates it? This one in particular calls to mind the old Japanese show “Astroboy”.
March 6th, 2009 at 2:21 am
love it! *smiley*
but why your own brain calls you a bitch! *shockedface*

Best one yet.
March 6th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
OK, now I understand. The “cute you” is really Lily Allen (same height, too!).
And you without the brain is Amy Whitehouse.
March 7th, 2009 at 2:21 am
First you show yourself watching TV in your undies, now you’re showing off your totally naked brain to whole internet! And you say you don’t like the “rude” and “pervy” comments. TEASE! TEEEASE!
March 7th, 2009 at 7:59 am
someone get that brain a towel!
“amy whitehouse” haha you made a incorrect correlation AND a typo
March 7th, 2009 at 11:18 am
>> “amy whitehouse” haha you made a incorrect correlation AND a typo
Oh, of course, I forgot that you don’t drink.
But what’s the typo?
March 8th, 2009 at 8:10 am
Note: I have never felt compelled to delete comments before, I always let them all get posted, but I woke up this morning to 6 comments about lilly allen and a link to her blog and other bullshit and jesus christ was I annoyed/bored. Do not ever do that again.
March 8th, 2009 at 9:19 am
And thus Krang was born!
March 8th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Sorry.
March 8th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
I love reading all this banter. All these people from different walks of life, different sensibilities, trying to relate to julia, and how she reacts to what they say. That facebook shit cracked me up. Winehouse!
March 8th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Hey, we were just on vacation, which is about the only time my wife buys magazines…bored on a plane, I was thumbing through Nylon magazine, I saw your review…congrats!
March 8th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
wow…Krang….that totally explains Julia’s hatred of turtles…
March 9th, 2009 at 5:33 am
Turtles are gross little slimy salmonella factories. Tortoises on the other hand…adorable.
March 9th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
[...] can’t help it. It’s the perfect day to link to this comic — my brain never functions well on a groggy gray day like this. And I’ve been tallying [...]
March 16th, 2009 at 9:54 am
I had brain surgery when I was 12 and it was exactly like this.
