NO, YOUR FACE DOES

Ten points to the first person who guesses the movie that today’s comic title is referencing.

Before I commence with the blogging, I gotta warn you, today’s buzzComix incentive sketch is probably the most disturbing thing you’ve seen from me in a while. If you don’t want to start your Monday on a sour note, DON’T CLICK THIS LINK!

I think today’s estrogen-inspired comic is funnier to me considering that Jared and I had a genuine guys-night-out on Saturday. We went to see a regional hockey game, had a whole lot of beer, then went to a sports bar and had a whole lot more beer and didn’t go home until close to 2 in the morning. So monly!

It’s sweet when the wives let us get away for a while…

Big burly action guys doing soft and fuzzy family comedies is nothing new. Schwarzenegger did it first with Kindergarten Cop. Stallone followed suit with a lesser degree with Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. Heck, even old-school action guy Burt Reynolds did Cop and A Half. So I guess it should be no surprise when action guys with a sagging career like Vin Diesel follow the same formula.

For my money, Vin should stick to doing voice-overs for giant robots.

And by the way, what narcotic was America collectively under the spell of to give The Pacifier a $30 million opening weekend? Geeze, people!

Something that I got a big kick out of was seeing Aikida back in action. I don’t know where Fenris learned his new coloring technique, but I want to steal a page from that book!

Also, I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to Bernie over at Alien Loves Predator who recently announced that he and his wife will be having twins! Congrats, Bernie!

To, what do you think of all these tough-guy actors taking roles in light comedies?

Oh you mean like Vin Diesel in The Pacifier and Tommy Lee Jones in Man of the House?

Yeah! I mean, I remember gorwing up in the 80s with kill-a-thons like Commando, Above the Law and Rambo.

Pretty soon they're gonna have The Rock in a goofball comedy about buying tampons for his girlfriend!

I know what you mean. It's kind of like that speech Brad Pitt makes in Fight Club about a generation of men having been raised by women.

It makes you wonder when society will say it's okay for men to be men again!

But first, do these jeans make me look fat?

I'm sorry. I wasn't listening. I was thinking about last night's Desperate Housewives...

In the THorum, I have a friend who posts under the handle “Beefy”. Beefy is a good guy. Beefy is musically talented. Beefy has a website. Beefy has just released an album.

It’s called “The Whitesican EP” and it’s available – FOR FREE – on Beefy’s site, right here.

Beefy wants you to know that while you can download 8 songs for free (!!!), he appreciates donations. If you donate $5, you get a 9th song added to your queue, and you get that warm ember glowing in your soul that says, “Hey, you just supported someone’s art. Good for you.”

If you’re fans at all of Albino Blacksheep, you might have seen a Flash version of “Whitesican” appears on the site. I’ll tell you right now that I have the MP3 version of this song as well as the others on my iPod right now. Another stand-out is “David’s Sister”

Why don’t you check out Beefy’s album and give it a download?

WELCOME BACK, GOOD SIR

Something I think everyone needs to know about is that Brian Carroll has returned to his web comic roots with a brand new Instant Classic story. It’s called “Brothers Donathan” and it takes place one year after the events of the Prologue and about four years before the events to take place in the “Union Forever” storyline Carroll has yet to share with us.

Brian’s been kind of having a rough time of things lately, so it’s good to see him pouring his energy into his art. I’ve always enjoyed his style and know for a fact he can run circles around the majority of web comic writers out there when it comes to plot and characterization.

All you have to do is look at the home page of the Instant Classic web site to know that Brian has some pretty lofty, long-term ambitions. There is a story with a far-reaching scope just waiting to be told. You can tell he’s thought it all out. I wish I could plan that well in advance.

Anyway, welcome back, Brian Carroll. The movie-themed web comic genre is a little less lonesome with you in it.
