And now - the #130s:

Of all the comics I've done, this is definitely one of my favorites. It's just so delightfully zany. I came up with a whole rationale of how the physics of this world would cause LR to explode if you popped his speech bubble, but this nice thing about the comic is that you really don't need to understand it. It's just weirdness for weirdness' sake.

I made this comic before I found out there's actually a wiki for BZPower comics, or that some people actually took the time to write a page about me. I can't tell you how flattering that felt.

The epic conclusion of the Voya Nui series, which admittedly is pretty rushed. Seems like anytime I do a series, I get halfway into it, get bored of it, and desperately try to finish it off, which I do either by not finishing it at all, or rushing the last part.

I love the fifth, sixth, and seventh panels here. I really took advantage of the atmosphere the Bionicle comics captured in those shots.

These were fun. At some point, I was getting really bored of guest star comics, so to spark my interest in them again I decided to make the Guest Star Room. And it worked pretty well...for a while. It was nice to have a setting and some easy repeating jokes (e.g, the plasma TV). And having a "standardized" setting made it easier to work with the bios the guest stars gave me; it allowed me to explore their characters a bit more than I would have otherwise. Eventually though I even got bored of the Guest Star Room, which was about the moment I stopped accepting guest stars.

I love the eighth panel. That sinister grin with the TV knocking over the lamp is just priceless.

At some point, I realized that LE wasn't sending me nearly as many stories involving Kopaka. I asked her about it, and we decided her character just wasn't that much into him anymore. So I made this comic - which just happened to fall on International Kopaka Day (less successful than Tahu day, but still a lot of fun).

The classic dilemma of Snow Days. People who have to go to school love 'em, and everyone else seems to hate them for disrupting their daily routine. I'm firmly on the relaxed, "Yay no work today!" side. I have no idea which side Jphyper falls on, but he was an easy target, so...

Have you noticed how common plasma TVs in public are these days? New school buildings will use them to show off pictures of campus, fast food restaurants put the menu on them - instead of, oh, I don't know, using a friggin' sign on the wall. Would probably save a few grand, but hey, what do I know? [/ranting social commentary]

As for the comic itself, this has all of the hallmarks of a good guest star comic. Use of unusual guest star ability, comical use of guest star's name, and harm inflicted upon comic author. It's got it all.

I live in Albuquerque, which is in the desert. It's not desert like Phoenix, it's the "high desert", which means the elevation is high, so it gets cold at night (except in the summer) and sometimes we can actually get snow in the winter. But it's still a desert, which means very little water. So you can imagine why it seems a little odd that newcomers plant lush, green lawns in front of their house and don't even use it except for decoration. [/ranting social commentary]
