jerrie
are you planning anymore comics after you end death porn?

“Plan” is a strong word, maybe.

I do have some ideas for other comics, some adult and some not, but whether I'm actually going to be able to do them or not is up in the air. If I do anything else with Carmen and Angie, it will likely be relatively short comics compared with this monstrous project I'm working on right now. No more 300 page graphic novels for me!

A comic starring Desperado might be pretty funny El Cid, with Angie and/or Carmen as his sidekick?

That would be awful! LOL!

Well, actually, Desperado's going to (finally) catch up with the girls later on toward the end of the story. We'll see how that works out!

Actually, to pipe in on “jerrie”'s idea and suggestion:
“The continuing misadventures of Otis and his sidekick Desperado”.
Kind of like Don Quixote del la Mancha, with Otis being the dreamer and Desperado being the sane one,… up to a point.

or, Shannon, Angie, and Carmen could start a PI firm and go on misadventures

Uh, “jerrie”… I don't think its a good idea for Angie to be a “gumshoe PI”.
Remember what happened the last time she held a gun in her hands!?

I think the girls get into enough trouble without going out looking for it! :)

Hey EC,
If ya have no real set plans for future comics,.. I feel you oughta revive the “Certified Monster” pages.
That way you're not trapped in an ongoing, singular story.

As far as ongoing, continuing stories go, Death P*rn covers a pretty broad spectrum, so I'm happy to be working on it. But yeah, after I finish this monster of a tale, I will likely never attempt anything on this grand of a scale again, ever.

As for Monster, I dunno. I think it's mostly served its purpose, and I'm not a gag-a-day kind of writer. If I did revive it, I would change the format into short humorous stories.

Then again you could, in some form or fashion finish “FILTH”.
Maybe as originally intended, or better, ..explore a differing take of it now since “Death Porn”!!
Break with or against your own sense of continuity. Make it something that's exciting to you and as well "stand alone-ish“.
I still like to see ”Shannon" starring in something that explores her past or profession before having met Angie, Carmen and Darren.
As I see her, she's meant to be different than the other two girls are.
But you'll need to settle upon her facial appearance.
I loved seeing her original appearance with the facial scar by the way, thought it "sexy"… and there must be a story to that too to explore.

How did see get it and was it apart of the original “FILTH” story to tell of it??

Plus that dorky male lead character was thus far interesting enough.
You've used his model just recently in “Death Porn” as Toad's Doctor, and in one or two “Certified Monster” tales.

Yeah, if I were you I'd finish “FILTH”.
Let's hear it everybody, say to EC:
“FILTH”
“FILTH”
“FILTH”
“FILTH”
“FILTH”!!

Finish “Filth?”

Nahhh!

The story was set somewhere in between “LoveSnot” and “Death P*rn,” and basically centers around Billy the Troll leaving Angie's apartment to live with flesh-eating sewer mutants. It wasn't a great story but I had nothing better to do at the time.

As for Shannon's face, she still has the scar (it's hard to see, but it's there). And the Doctor character in Death P*rn isn't just the same model, but he's the same character. You'll notice the hand Shannon sawed off has been replaced with a rake!

Billy the Troll leaving the apartment!!!

Wow -that, seriously, was something I was thinking of about as of awhile now.
Angie's been gone for who knows what amount of time, (and its not the first time)and I myself always have wondered what he does when left alone.
What the heck does Billy do when she's gone for these periods would make a great side story tale for you to pursue.

Maybe as a subplot to "New Filth“ (the ”dirt" undermining their relationship of Angie and Carmen):
Angie and Carmen do split (as of events from Death Porn, maybe),
but after discovering Billy is gone Angie asks Carmen for help to find him
(or as an excuse to talk Carmen offers her help to find Billy)
and during this tale they make up being friends, ..but first– the rift between them gets ugly and bigger.
(Suddenly, I'm imagining this pages long “girl-fight” between them.)

If you ask me, Angie's at fault here (In addition to her brewing jealousy, as seen now). For trying to appease people and of forgetting herself (That's as a argument for Carmen's side of things??).
And that poor midget had to suffer.

I'd say, rework “FILTH” alittle if it wasn't, as you say, “all that a great story”.

el cid you mentioned that you installed comicpress. that is better than what you were using in your website? i ask because i am currently creating my own website

Comicpress is a custom setup for Wordpress blog software that basically lets you create a navigable webcomic as easily as posting on a blog… or as easy as posting here at Drunk Duck. In fact, the ease of use is one of the original reasons I came to Drunk Duck, because coding everything out in HTML on my site was such a drag. Users can also leave comments on your Comicpress comic in much the same way they do here, or on any blog for that matter.

Here's an example Comicpress comic: http://comicpress.net/comic/persephone/

So… is this “comicpress” programmy-thingy up and running yet at your “Squickism” site?? I've yet to return still.
If I don't see an immediate improvement upon the site navigation and the page uploading… then I'm gonna come back and complain to “the management”.

I don't mean to be selfish, -but if it doesn't help me why should I be so “dang happy” about it??

Wait a sec!! You had a chance to be “deliciously offensive” ..with Karen and a donkey sex scene… and you copped out, claiming it due to a "narrative interlude"!?!!
What horses#!t.
Hey, Paley,.. you could have animated it and stuck it onto a DD page.
Or does DD have rules about displaying exhibitions of unusual animal sex practices?
What?!! No “beastiality”??!!
What horses#!t!!
What the hell is our free country turning into.
Next we'll be censoring “Doctor Doolittle” from the public libraries!!

And how long till Madame Poppycock's dog gets his?! When we he have his golden moment in this comic? Cause every other freak has! If Toad didn't kill Madame Kitty we would already know if licking Toad would bring on strange hallucinations
What's that dogs name anyway???

xx,
Fastmax

The comicpress element will have its own url. Here's the first test page that's up right now: http://squickism.com/wp/

I still haven't custom-designed a template, and that will still be a ways off. More importantly, however, I've come to find out that you can't have multiple comics in your comicpress template, so I'll also likely need to install it in separate directories for each comic. Still looking into that, whenever I have free time, but for now, I'm happy to keep plugging away at Drunk Duck like I've been doing.

Oh, and the dog's name is Biscuits. I haven't forgotten about him!

Im new to the series and your comics are fantastic. I was wondering where can I find Captain Awesome's comic along with the image of carmen doin doggystyle? it was posted as a image on your update blog on your “squickism” site posted 1/15/2010?. is Captain Awesome just a character that you employ in short stories or just regular comic strips? do you have various unreleased strips of your characters anywhere posted?

Captain Awesome doesn't have his own comic; he's just a goofball character I invented for “Certified Monster.” The image of Carmen is from a strip that I later pulled out of the archives for several reasons, not the least of which that it wasn't all that funny. It's part of a two-part series. It follows a comic where a guy gets turned gay by the Gay Fairy. Carmen's trying to turn him back “straight.”

Pretty much all of my comics are already posted at http://squickism.com/comix/ already. I'm sure I missed something here and there, given all the hard drive changes I've been through, but the archive there is as close to comprehensive as can be.

now that's pretty cool…thanks alot…would you happen to have anymore of these strips that you pulled out of the archives for various reasons laying around anywhere that you could spare? would you have anymore of carmen and angie either together or separate, along with any of their cohorts?. i don't intentionally mean to be perverse but i like those kind of scenes a whole lot and you are a great artist. i like the violence a whole lot but i will be honest, im more about the sex scenes….nice scene tho and im looking forward to your future chapters and future comics. keep up the great work really!!!!

Heh heh! Nah, that was the only “blue” strip from the original Certified Monster series. I'm thinking about doing a new comic that's similar to Monster but much more adult-oriented. It'll have tons of stuff like that in it.

I have no concrete plans as to when (and if) that project's getting off the ground, though. I may wait until after I finish Death P*rn, which would mean not until 2012, and I'm thinking I may want to work with another writer.

i read what heavyheart19 said about those images and i was wondering the same thing? would u happen to have that same image of captain awesome swooping that girl up, along with the entire strip? it was off of that same image on your squickism update site that as posted 1/15/2010?. was that image part of a strip that was adult-oriented or was it a gag that was a deleted piece from Ceritified Monster? i like captain awesome character being that deranged maniac of a superhero. i was also wondering…..what's up with that image thats on batbabe's blog with her and captain awesome….its a image on this link http://batbabemx.blogspot.com/2010/03/el-cid.html…do you have the rest of that strip or deleted comic?…u gotta keep feeding us out here…YOUR FANS NEED YOU!

The strip with Captain Awesome swooping up the girl was a strip from Certified Monster. It's still there. Here's a link to that one:

Flight Hazards

Captain Awesome also appeared in an earlier strip:

Faster Than A Speeding Bullet

Nothing super-adult about either of 'em, though they do have some boobage. Certified Monster never really went beyond Skinemax-level with the adult content. It's an artifact from that fleeting period when I thought I might have a shot at going mainstream.

As for the Batbabe pic, Jessy hits me up with image and comic requests from time to time. This was just a one-page deal. A lot of fun to do, but not something I do a whole lot of. Superhero stuff is more up Jessy's alley than mine, though I do like to spoof superheroes. Oh man, do they ever deserve it!

Be sure to check out my Big Fish Story comic too, if you get a chance. It's got plenty more of my patented brand of madness in it!

u said before in your previous comments that when you finish “Death Porn” and when you start your next comic, you may want to work with another writer. i wanted to know that if that happens, would you most likely handle the plot and the storyline, rather than handling the artwork?, or vice-versa? or possibly share with the other writer doing both??….how are you with being flexible about letting another writer handle the important parts of a comic while you play shotgun? do you feel that you're the only one who feels that the way you write and make artwork can only be done by you?..i understand how this can go either way so obviously know that im not trying to instigate riffs. do you ever plan on adding new artwork to any of your previous comics that are incomplete, or maybe some leftover or unreleased bonus scenes like you've done in the past? and uuhh…..last but not least, do you ever plan to make pin-ups of any of your characters in the future?

Right now, I'd say it's almost pointless for me to be putting too much thought into life after Death P*rn. By my guestimations, I'm not likely to finish the comic before early 2012, and even then there's a lengthy epilogue that I really want to add onto it.

The project I want to do after Death P*rn is basically a straightforward comedy series made up of short (15 to 30 pages) comic stories rather than the usual hundred-plus page fare I tend to take on. It would still be very adult, and feature most of my old characters, but it would be more lighthearted than my “darker” stuff, like Death P*rn or Sex the models I used for that are long gone. I'd have to completely recreate it from scratch. As for Far From Hollywood, that was a complete story, but also part of a series of short complete stories that I never picked back up on. The epilogue to Death P*rn (if I make it) will be a continuation of that. I've also considered doing a continuation of The Big Fish Story featuring Carmen and Cody's additional adventures in Mexico. I don't plan on messing with any of those, however, until after I've finished Death P*rn.

As for pinups, I plan on going back and adding chapter break artwork to Death P*rn while I'm on hiatus. The first one will likely go up tomorrow!

***EDIT: This post deleted to make way for an even cooler one***

Just for the heck of it, here is the culmination of my mad science experiments with 3D anaglyphs. You'll need some of those red-blue 3D glasses to see the effect. Try looking at it from different angles & distances to fully appreciate the 3Dness!

wow cool animation and 3d effects El Cid! Love that Carmen!

Did you view it with 3d glasses? It's a pretty neat effect, I think. I'm really happy with it.

(some problems with the animation itself, obviously, but I was mostly doing it to try out the technique)

yeah i used 3d glasses, awesome stuff! amazing what can be done! your 3d art always amazed me, now you go and add 3d effects!I'm wondering, are you planning a fully animated cartoon with 3d in the future? seems your heading that way with this new stuff your doing.
