That Thing Where You Can't Come Up with a Decent Title Because It's Late and Your Brain is Shot

New Quixote Coyote:

Hey!  Mr. Skullface Man is back!

Gonna be a crazy busy week.  I have no idea how much Quixote is going up this week.  At least I got this one done.  It's a nice little strip.

Skull Ball

I had something that had to get done yesterday, so no Quixote Coyote yesterday.  But today is today, so here's new Quixote Coyote:

My gal and I love bowling.  Unfortunately, we have two problems: 1) We never have time to go, and 2) We are probably the worst bowlers to bowl in the history of bowling.  Still, it's fun.  I also like to make comics about bowling, but much like real life, I never really have the time to make comics about bowling.  I did one several years ago, and it was a hoot. 

Ten Bones

Today's Quixote Coyote Strip:

Today's strip is so weird.  But the weirdest part is that the whole "Bowling for Bones" concept came from the original Fairy Tale that inspired this arc.  How odd is that?  Them Grimm Brothers were messed up.

Legs

Today's Quixote Coyote Comic Strip:

Ah, such a silly gag today.  It's fun making silly little comics.

And We're Back

So, I've been quiet for a bit.  Yeah, I've been plugging away on some stuff that I don't really wanna show off yet.  That's been my focus.  I'm not quite done with that work yet, but I'm getting close.  And as I've been getting close, I've been thinking about how I've left poor Quixote Coyote behind, and how much I miss the little guy and his world.  So, I thought, screw it.  I'll pick back up on Quixote Coyote because my name is Joseph Morris and I make Comics.

Anyway, here's a new strip, and yes, we're still stuck in that dang Haunted House.

As I started Night Two, I kind of forgot how Night Two went in the original Grimm's Fairy Tale that inspired this arc.  As a result, I just kind of meandered around.  Which was fun, but now that I'm back on task with the strip, I decided to get back on track with the actual Fairy Tale.  Believe it or not, this whole sequence is straight up taken from the the Fairy Tale.  I mean, a half of a dude just falls down a chimney.  Which beggars the age old question:  What the crap were the Grimm Brothers on when they wrote this story anyway?

The Definition of Insanity

"You're going to drive yourself crazy with this, aren't you?" Mei said.  There wasn't judgement in her voice, just a weary knowledge of who I am, and how I operate.

"No.  It'll be fine.  I can handle it," I replied in that voice I use when I try to sound nonchalant and confident at the same time.

Sigh.

This whole "TORC PRESS COMIX!" thing was a mistake.  And it's the same mistake I make over and over and over again.  The root of the problem is my Sawmill Job, and yet time and time again I do the same things, trying so hard to create some crazy new thing to get attention, to try to break through, to provoke a response...

Sigh.

I never learn.  This was too much.  It's all too much.  I work 45 Hard Fought Hours Every Week, and I spend my weekends on the road.  I have to change my way of thinking, or I really am gonna end up working as a Janitor somewhere (no offense to any Janitors out there reading this... but if you know me, Janitorial work would probably be my personal Hell).  The focus has to be on either making it in comics somehow or finding some sort of job I can enjoy.  The focus has to be on submission work, nothing more, nothing less.

Anyway, I know it's pathetic that I'm closing up shop on TORC PRESS COMIX after a week, but I can't be focused on a Graphic Novel that only makes sense to me.  I might still be running Quixote Coyote strips on and off.  We'll just have to wait and see on that.

EDITOR'S NOTES - 1/7/16

First off, this is my first attempt at a Crossword Puzzle, so I apologize in advance.  They're much harder to come up with than they seem.

Second off, with regards to Cosmic Pulp, I am not now, nor have I ever been on drugs.  That is all.

Third off, I'm not sure whether the Action in today's Quixote Coyote makes sense or not.  The point of the strip is twofold:  1) Panda would never willingly harm anyone or anything else, and 2) Panda's so dim-witted that he doesn't really get pain.  Like I said, I dunno if the strip works or not, but it was what my Muse told me to put down, so blame her.
