Beach Ants
antcomics on Nov. 11, 2007
Still plugging away on the 2008 Antcomics Calendar…this is the June drawing. I may get these all done by the end of December yet!
That's one reason the updates are more frequent these past few weeks. Normally, I only update weekly, but I am sort of panicking about getting all 12 months drawn before the end of the year. It's so much closer than it seems…(O.O)
Anyhow. Fitz and a couple of others have mentioned the lack of girls in Antcomics…yeah, I got some female characters in the works, don't worry.
And here the Ants hit the beach in hopes of attracting some ‘hot babes’….well, we'll see about that…
This is comic 49, and as promised, #50 will be a break from these calendar pictures for a BIG 5-0 FANART EXTRAVAGANZAAAA! You guys who have kept coming back, kept leaving comments, interviewed me–drawn fanart –been faithful readers—you will be appreciated. You know who you are!!
So here is a bit of hot fun in the summah-time with our Ant-buddies…no one wore a thong, thank heavens….

Great stuff yo! I'm really diggin' the style. Kind of makes me think of some classic MAD stuff. Brett Ed Comics p.s. the crab is so cute.

I think it's safe to assume if you see someone with a cool painted stripe on their face they're probably a rockstar....or else a navajo indian maybe...

Fitz: It's okay--you can just call me The Queen of Missed Updates...I do it all the time. :o) And yes, the beach...ahhh. One of the greatest places on earth!
Fitz at 12:52PM, Nov. 13, 2007
GAH! I missed it again! But oh well, here I am :) That's a great one. Brings back the long forgotten memories of Da Beach. Damn, I haven't been to one in a looooong time. And what a bunch of likeable, chicken-legged ensemble the Ants are. I think I'd fit in :) And I can't wait to see The Big 50!

Guys, thanks for the comments. You keep me going and going like that bunny we all know. I would love to respond to each and every one of you each time, but sometimes I don't get around to it. So don't let your feelings get hurt...I lurve all o' ya! It's true!! Corey: Heh...yep! And thanks again, buddy. Brock: Thanks...coming from you that is really a big compliment!! Yeah, the crab was an afterthought--and a good one apparently. He's been a huge hit! dgriff: Yeah..well, they are Brits. And you know how pale Brits are! Hehehe. spAng: Agreed. TheMidge: Thanks so much! I am so glad I put the crab in! dantheman: Muchas Gracias! crocty: Actually all the crab had to do was read the thought balloon :o) Comic characters get NO privacy, I tell ya! ChamKid: I dunno what made me put 'da beach'. Probably some cartoon show I saw as a kid. It just seemed funnier than "THE Beach." :) ncbadd: True, that! I hadn't really thought about it but...yeahh! Ersatz: I bet you would! :D (But just the other day Fitz said it would scare him to see Marco in a bikini so I didn't want to scare poor Fitz). :op And the socks/sandals thing: That is inspired by this neighbor guy I used to have when I was a kid: He would mow the lawn shirtless, with jams on, white socks and rainbow colored sandals. True story, swear!!
Ersatz at 8:41AM, Nov. 13, 2007
P.S. Oh no! Socks with sandals! Social faux pas alert!
Ersatz at 8:40AM, Nov. 13, 2007
Awwww, but I was DYING to see Marco in a pink thong (with skiddies). Can't wait for the humongo numero fiftyo.... o.

Cool. Ants who bring their own Picnic lunch!
Chameleon Kid at 7:27AM, Nov. 13, 2007
And I thought I'd seen everything! :D Dere's da beach! And dere's da sand! And dere's da ANTS! Ah, great job...they look spiffy in their beach wear. ;)

That mind reading crab just makes it hilarious! And I can't WAIT for the 50th strip!
