Your studio is way rad. Easily one of the coolest looking rooms I’ve seen pictures of, and all done with very little money.

you’d better patent “Meat Gum” toot sweet!
July 12th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
lolol! i love ur comic!
johnb - fyi, it’s “tout de suite”
July 12th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Ha Ha! I really like your Non - PC comics & I love the mini panel in panel(s)!

Oh ya, your room looks like a pretty sweet place. I imagine it’s hard to leave such a comfortable cave.
Check out my former bedroom/closet/storage area in Japan:

I loved that place.
July 12th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
If I lived in a place that looked that good, I would never, ever leave.

Are your comics going to have lots of little yous poking their heads in and commenting from the gutters like a better drawn Life in Hell comic from now on?
July 12th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Ain’t said so in a while, but I loves me some Fart Party.
Your little artcave is looking quite fabulous.

I think the booze is wrong this time…
July 13th, 2009 at 5:47 am
love it. and i think it will someday be a museum. or at least, there will be a little metal plate on the front of the building that will remind everyone who will pass by, that that is where fartparty came from. Cheers to that thought

jesus - sry, should I extend a pinky when I type that?

jesus - sry, should I extend a pinky when I type that? I’m famiiar with the french derivation but chose the american bastardized version instead.
ps… you’re back already?

I live in a spider hole also.

My biggest beef is leprosy….why don’t we cure leprosy instead of making magazines about brangelina.?
mind you, i just bought a 30 dollar lipstick…and I pay 500+ a month for my car.

“Did it work?”
Hilarious! That little surprise panel made me laugh out loud at work!
You know that’s frowned upon.
July 13th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
That’s a pretty sick batcave you got there.
July 13th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
While it takes great passion and perseverance to pursue art anywhere around the world, it’s a much more daunting path in third world countries, commercially or creatively. I bet artists there would appreciate your 3.5 seconds of compassion ,-)
July 14th, 2009 at 1:02 am
Ha. Jesus loves your comic. Imagine that.
July 14th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Awesome.
July 14th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
you should get a job. You’d get paid plus Fart Party was much better when you had a job to bitch about. Leave the bitching about being poor and not working to the trustafarians.
July 14th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
I have a job you fucking asshole.
July 14th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
I love the tiny meta-commentary panels.. took me a second to get it, but it’s pretty great.. “that’s the one”.. also talking beer/hooch bottle FTW…
July 14th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
johnb - my apologies. i immediately jump upon any opportunity to be a pretentious fuck. i probably should have known that you were intentionally using the english-ified spelling, because it’s obscure enough that anyone who would know either one in the first place probably knows both anyway
to answer your other question: yea, i’m back, lol
July 14th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
Mason- God I’m sick of the “Get a job” people. They act as though jobs just fall out of the sky and aren’t difficult at all to aquire. What a dipshit.
Anyway great comic! interesting point of view. I wish I lived in a basement.
July 14th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Alright, being an artist and author is an incredibly difficult job. It is a life of constant struggle and no security and frankly I doubt that any of those commenting, myself included, has the balls to commit to that kind of life style.
Julia writes constantly, fending off lack of inspiration, lethargy, and fear to do something that I don’t see anyone else here doing, create something. So guess what mason - go fuck yourself in the ear. Julia - keep writing I truly appreciate it, and not just because your funny (which you definitely are) but because your style and choice of documenting your existence is unique, inspiring and on occasion poignant. And as soon as I get paid I will be buying your book and tossing you a couple bucks.
July 15th, 2009 at 2:44 am
What’s funny is how much writing I put out when I am squeezing hours in after work, or on lunch hour, and the inspiration I get from work and the people (far more inspiring than the folks at the art bar). When I don’t have a job my writing is sparse, laborious and uninspired. Just trying to be constructive. I miss the job comics.
“fending off lack of inspiration, lethargy, and fear” are not problems, at least for me, when i have to fight and sacrifice for the opportunity to write. When I sit around my apartment all day, then yea, writing is a constant “fending off lack of inspiration, lethargy, and fear.” But you tell me how it is, because I could never possibly understand(!)
Bohemian snobs and folks who let vice pimp their wares then act poor, those are some fucking assholes. And commentors who think they know what I’m trying to say, they suck pretty hard too.

Just following the rules of the internet…. ;p

On the meatball bubble gum thing, well:

i thought that link was just another spam link i had to delete but then i saw it was just another shitty gimmicky thing people like to buy for their ironic bathroom decorations. (read: I kinda totally want those shower curtains)
July 16th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
A large part of me realizes that absolutely nothing constructive is going to come from my responding to this, and pretty much all of me realizes that this is a waste of the time I already have precious little of but whatever, fuck it I don’t always have to be rational.
mason-
A)If you were a better writer you probably wouldn’t have a “job”.
B)I wrote out a bunch of really insulting personal comments but then I realized I don’t care enough. You are super annoying to me. I hope a bee crawls inside of your nose and stings you right up there where you wont be able to reach with creams. Or something else equally annoying but not pertinently damaging.
Maybe I should be seriously responding to your tragically ill conceived statements but I just cant seem to muster the interest.

I had a picture of that scene from the shining where Nicholsen is breaking into the bathroom on the back of my bedroom door growing up, that curtain reminds me of it. Its always fun to add little elements to frighten guests in your home.
July 17th, 2009 at 12:12 am
whoa i just read that comment like it was directed toward me and then I left a defensive comment in response and then i realized it wasn’t for me and then i was like “shit the internet is fucking retarded why am i on it” and then i ate some pizza and it was all okay
July 17th, 2009 at 2:32 am
I loved that last comment so much I peed myself.
It’s cool, though. Pee is hard to see on black pants.
Yellow pants would have been okay, but I can never find any that exactly match the color of my urine.
When will someone finally cide to think of “pee your pants boy,” huh?

Ah damn, that was the wrong thinkgeek link.
I meant to link this:

Makes a lot more sense with what my comment said, too. I R TEH STOOPID.
July 18th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Its like the futurama episode with ‘baconated grapefruit’. Who would have thought that the futurama conception of the future would be the correct one but each day we step a little closer.
July 29th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
Would you care for some salt?
Think of it this way: things could be better. You could be living in a relatively sane country such as Canada, eh, which subsidizes various artists as a matter of principle.
It was the pathetically reasonable country of Canada, eh, which subsidized the first generation of Vice magazine.
What’s that all aboot?
And to think, that could’ve been you.
No matter, you just thank the good jesus you were born in a country that’ll let you starve yourself for your craft.
Amen.

Tell yourself:
* It’s not my fault that the politicians of the rest of the world have done a more thorough job of fucking things up than “my” domestic specimens.
* It’s not my fault that the politicians have succeeded in persuading most people that the cure for all ills is more of what caused most of the ills.
