Happy Freakin' New Year '08

I wanted to do a special update for New Years Eve so I drew up this comic last night. I like doing special things for the holidays so I'm glad I was able to get this up in time.
Here's hoping you have somebody to kiss at mid-night. =D

So there you have it. Sam's found himself a girlfriend. Awwww.

And just when you didn't think Noise Pollution could get anymore pretentious we throw in a health dose of philosophy. What's next? A discussion of classical Greek architecture? Heaven forbid! Actually this comic was probably my favorite to write and draw out of all the strip I've done in the past month owing to the subject matter. For one, anybody who's studied Existentialism knows its next to impossible to find some one with an opinion similar to your own when it comes to either Nietzsche or Sartre; and secondly, its always been a fantasy of mine to be accosted by a beautiful indie girl, only to have her talk up some philosophy to me and then whisk me off my feet to a near by hotel room or rest stop bathroom (I'm not picky). Seeing as I'm over 6'5" and 240 pounds, I doubt there will ever be any whisking though. Also I live in Green Bay, WI; one of the great intellectual dead zones of the mid-west, so the likelihood of me having a stipulating conversation about philosophy here has about the same probability as getting struck by lighting on a sunny day. Needless to say, I wont be holding my breath.

Sorry the comic is so late btw, my computer and scanner were acting up. Otherwise I would have had them up on time.

Have a good weekend!

You Can Use A Rhyming Dictionary As Long As It Doesn't Sound Like You Are...

After reviewing the comic's archive over the weekend, I came to the startling conclusion that my handwriting is almost entirely illegible. If I didn't already know what the comic was supposed to say, it would drive me nuts trying to read it. Therefore I have made the executive decision to henceforth add the dialog in photoshop. I apologize to you loyal fans who have drudged through my horrible hand written scripts up to this point. Your suffering has now come to an end. My gift to you. Huzzah! =D

Be sure to check back this Friday to catch a very special event in Sam's character development and the introduction of a totally new lead character to the Noise Pollution cast.

Happy Freakin' Holidays!

What Really Happened to The Buffalo

You may recall that I did a strip a couple of weeks back regarding the horrible advertising campaign for Guy Richies' latest film Rock'nRolla. I bring it up becuase 1. Free time on Friday's is always a good time to page through the archive of your favorite webcomic ;) , and 2. Because I actually got around to seeing the film at the budget theater a couple of nights ago, and I have to say... It was pretty awesome. If your not doing anything this weekend I recommend you go check it out. It's defiantly more accessible then his past work, but come on, since when is that ever been a bad thing.

Have a good weekend!

ps Did you get a load of Guy's divorce settlement with Madonna? Last I heard it was up to $76 million. It's obscene!

Return of Paul The Poser

Monday's comic features the return of everyones favorite poser Paul. Paul's character is a combination of people I know in my towns scene. All of which I've compiled into a single obnoxious entity. My hope is to eventually make the character as unlikable as the people he's based on, so you can expect to see a lot more of Paul in the coming weeks.

Also, FYI, The new Dillinger Four album is quit possibly every thing you could have asked of the band and more. It rocks! If you haven't heard it yet, your missing out. Make sure to ask Santa for a copy for Christmas or you'll be the nerd in the back of the lunchroom no one will sit with for the rest of your adult life. Don't do that to your self. Get yourself a copy.

The Good The Bad and The Queenie

I actually discovered The Good The Bad and The Queen via the Henry Rollins show on IFC laster spring. The video from the performance of their first single Herculean is still one of my favorite live sets Rollins has hosted on his show.
