Herald_zlm.FakeTales

And yeah,
I'd love to tell you
all my problem.

Zero Like Me #105:
Zero Romance #21:
Fake Tales of New Haven
<- Previous Comic...Next Comic->
-First Comic-

Easter Eggs: Romance 21 in Tale 3. A wacky haircut and Motion City in Tale 1. A Wii and Triforce in Tale 2.

Fun Facts: Tale 1's setting is the OC. Tale 3's setting is based on Fair Haven Elementary School. Garry is proud to live in New Haven for some reason...

This comic came about because I have too many scripts but not enough time...so we are literally cramming it all in there, aren't we? Curtain closes forever next week, on the Herald theatre at least.

They say he changes when the sun goes down...

And I can't get it started on my own.
When are you arriving?

The Herald version actually came out pretty all right.

I wanted to do more with music in my comic. I had this musical character named Justin, but since I was running out of opportunities for comics, I didn't think I'd get to use him again.

But then I thought to do multiple comics in one, like that incredible episode of Avatar, "The Tales of Ba Sing Se," so I lifted that script and plugged it in as the headliner.

It also gave me a chance to say goodbye to my first supporting character, Garry McGruder, someone who I really wanted to use more...the worst part about comicsing during college is you can concretely see what you didn't accomplish in your "life."

Baa: I've been trying to revisit every dining hall for the full dinner shift before I bite the bullet, but I'm running out of time...

TD's Saturday night, SY next Friday night, TC next Saturday, and PC...squeezed in next Wednesday? Anything to complete the world tour, even endure...ugh...college dining halls...

Gosh.

In more upbeat news, that wise latino Gerardo Manera returns in his groundbreaking Herald series, Kill All Your Friends, to salsa and sombrero his way into your heart, with another avant garbage piece, arguably not even a comic, which he entitles, "River," for some strange reason:

Quite frankly...

That hombre really creeps me out.

Or for our Canadian visitors:

That guy really creeps me oot.

Eh?

Herald_zlm.BlightFellowship

That baby-mama drama has got to stop.

Zero Like Me #44
Zero Romance #7:
Blight College Years Pt.1 -
Blight Fellowship
<- Previous...Next->
-First-

Easter Eggs: Harvard Crest, Romance 7 on gate, lyrical homage to Christian Bale's uncensored techno rap.

Fun Facts: Today's setting is the Women's Table area outside BK and SML. Alexis Blight is named first for a girl I met once and second for an old professor I had--woulda been Gilmore, but Blight just sounds scary and powerful and cool; "Gilmore" has that whole Gilmore Girls at Yale connotation, unfortunately.

Baa: I saw Annie Hall for my comedy history class, and it got me right in the mood for this comic.

The Herald's print edition of this comic is excruciatingly white-spacey, so I won't be posting it.

I model some of my designs after real people. Nyao's main hairstyle was designed after a girl from my sitcom-writing class, I even saw and heard her screaming about bladderball (she is loud). Alexis' design is based on a composite of people, one is a current classmate, the other is the real deal.
Speaking of real deals, how about that phony fool, jack kelly? Today's raw fish is February's unused "granpappy," which look-a like-a dis:

And he leaves us begging for less with "photo," which appears after this colon:

BUT WAIT! There's more! Forget that crusty old jack kelly, I discovered the new hotness, a young, strapping lad-tino from Sudamerica, which I believe is hispaniard for "Mexicolumbriazil."

Introducing that fiery dynamo Latino, the one, the only, THE Gerardo Manera premiering his fabulous new series, Kill All Your Friends!

He debuts with a clever contrivance called "Justin," and I just can't wait to see more from this wise Latino.

So welcome to the Removal crew, Gerardo, and welcome to the Herald family.

Now get back in your cage before you taste the back of my hand, which I assure you is spicier than any chalupa you've ever had.
