Spending the majority of time sitting at a desk and staring at the goddamn computer is just about anybody. We’re all pathetic in that sense … oh, virtual support group! The caricature of your comics reminds me of the girl (Enid Coleslaw) in Ghost World, which is one of my favorite books (movies, too). I read a lot of Daniel Clowes, Jaime Hernandez and Adrian Tomine. They share some similarities in the ways they illustrate, I think.
A mate of mine has been attacked by London squirrels leaping from trees as she passed under on two separate occasions. While certainly not qualitatively the *worst* thing that could happen to someone, some amount of “why me?” is forgiveable the second time round. Sometimes weird shit happens to people for no discernable reason.
i’m pretty sure the white stains are actually tears that are showing flesh underneath said bums clothing. haha, although I had to look for myself, because that would have been funnnnny…
also, totally agree that I thought the bum was Julia in frame two. It’s ok, Julia, we know you dont really have facial hair.
As for myself, squirrels have never peed on me. But I went most of my life without having to dial 911 for any reason. All of a sudden in the last few years I’m dialing 911 all the time. I’m witnessing fires, car accidents, bike accidents and people collapsing for no reason. Two weeks ago it was a dead guy. I feel like I’m some sort of weird tragedy Zelig now.
I love the devilish expression on the bum as he plots his shotgun attack. Looks like an old timey cartoon villain that ties a damsel to the train tracks.
Oh, I hate to be a continuity Nazi, but the bumb clearly has black Fagan gloves on in panel two, then you see his bare right hand in panel three, then the gloves are back on again in panel five. It’s exactly like Charlton Heston wearing a modern wristwatch in…in…what was the name of that movie with the big chariot race?
Why do the crazed always walk around with hands reaching up, fondling the air beneath their beard? I myself wear a beard and in public strive to keep my arms hanging loosely at my side, just like it was no problem at all.
thats a good genuine question but with these comics being set in NY, i’m guessing he found it in an alleyway under pile of old porn, dead rats and syringes.
also, Julia- the commenters have spoken, we like this bum. we want you to hang out together and do wierd shit like drunkenly shout at roadsigns.

I noticed that you just have to be the kind of person who pays attention to the fucked up. Stories tend to happen when you do that.
Like this one time where I had these sandals made of elephant shit…

LOL! you should do a series of comics with this crazy drunk dude!

It’s “Merde” from the Leos Carax movie! He’s through with Japan and ready to take you on, Wertz.

It’s a good thing no one reads your comics and that you are a colossal fuck-up, or else you would have nothing to write a comic about. HAW-HAW!

Teeheee, you always make me laugh… even at your expense. D;

I smell a spin-off for Drunk, Psychotic Bum.
March 11th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Too bad the drunk psychotic bum really is just you with a beard and gnarlier brown hair. Its all in the facial expression…and the shirt.

I’m also glad he had the decency to temporarily remove his fingerless gloves when approaching you. They would have instantly betrayed his intentions.

Have you accepted Jesus as you lord and Savior? That could be your problem, or so I’m told.

I’m impressed by your dedication to sarcasm, even in the face of a gaping chest wound.

Spartacus? Is that the one you are thinking of, Jersey Frankie? Or were you being facetious?

My first thought was “My word, where did that bum find that gun?” Also, stop nitpicking, nitpickers.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
It’s obvious that the gun was in his beard.
