Words of Wisdom Plus a Sneak Preview

First, that preview thingy first.

I said that I was making sort of a journal by George. It won't be what he wrote in his journal - it'll be more of a story from George's point of view. I'll release Chapter One after I finish posting my first batch of strips up here. It'll take place two weeks after the strips I just posted.

Now for those words of wisdom. Judge a book by its cover.
Let me explain. If you have a book with a cover like this:

You probably don't want to pick it up. But if you have a cool book with the main characters standing in a heroic pose, you might want to look into it.

But if the book is called "The Ewoks Join the Fight" you probably don't want to take a very close look at the  book.

So, kids, judge a book by its cover.

I am so smart.

Strips One and Two

Here are the first two Bad Boys strips I created for the blog. I have about twelve others drawn out - I just need to ink them out and I'll have a lot done.

Then I'll rip off Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and post something from George's journal. I'll make another post explaining that. We'll meet all the characters in this series of strips, except for the dog and cat.

Left to right for the blog header: Flopsy (Tom's dog), Alice, Tom, Bob (George's High-school brother), George, Gwen (George's Prechooler sister), Frank (sometimes called Demon), Mopsy (George's cat), Alex, Mike, Julie, and Caroline.

And, without further ado, here are the first two Bad Boys comic strips! First on the top, second on the bottom. Since the image goes behind the blog template, just click on it to get just the image.


Clouseau Versus Kato

Here's a fight from the movie "The Pink Panther Strikes Again".

The one with the moustache is Clouseau. That other guy is his servant, Kato. Clouseau is an completely idiotic detective. He tells his servant, Kato, to attack him at any moment so that he can hone his training skills.

And who's that guy on the floor below? He's someone who's trying to assassinate Clouseau, but Clouseau is stopping him and making it hard.

The default quality for this video is 720p - that's HD. So it'll probbly stutter the first time you play it. But if you change the quality to something less, like 240p or 360p, it's less likely to stutter.


Here's the fight:


Here's the fight. For some reason, the guy doesn't want the video embedded anywhere.

Edit: Turns out that first one was a German dub. Here's another in English. The guy who posted this one doesn't wanted it embedded anywhere either.

It's at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-7MQai2vPE&feature=related

The default quality is 360p, so, hopefully no stuttering for your computer.
