oh no! dick jokes!
anyway, new character introduction here. this is will. will likes soccer. he mingles amongst the tribes.
one thing i tried to do with these next pages is make the pivitol characters look like they are 14 year old assholes. i think i did a decent enough job. but, yes, i am fully aware of the fact that haysoose looks a lot like nickelodeon's doug. or does doug belong to disney? i seem to remember disney buying that series from nick and trying to make a failed wholsome saturday morning cartoon series out of it. i hate disney. that animation company has scarecly had an original story idea for decades. they seem to thrive off taking an existing tale and making a lame ass musical out of it. or taking skeeter and patty mayonaise and making them safer for kids than the foam covered edges that they already were.
aaaaahh…eeeee…..oooooo…killer tofu!

I had been thinking that haysoose looked like Doug, I'm glad that I'm not the only one. And as I don't care who owns the rights to it now to me Doug is a Nick show and it always will be.

The new Will looks a lot more like the real Will. I remember liking your old Will character so much that I tried to continue your Will And the Temple of Fools comic you started. I actually drew about ten extra pages to it that I never showed anyone. I miss the apple-core that was originally in Will's vomit. Jeff looks amazingly happy in that panel. The new Haysoose looks NOTHING like the original Haysoose. In fact, he looks more like Bobby B3. And a bit like Doug. You know, Nickelodian's Doug was pretty kiddified, but I remember enjoying it nonetheless; however, when Disney bought it, they turned it into a monstrosity of mediocrity. It wasn't hard to make a show like Doug likable. Disney couldn't even accomplish that. And, yeah, the original Jeff just got fatter and fatter. In fact, I believe that I drew the original Jeff comic, after Jeff drew a poorly-drawn comic featuring me in which someone told me I had a big head. Jeff had a pot-belly (which was uncommon amongst ninth graders), so I drew a crude drawing of him with his scraggly rat tail and his belly sticking out, saying 'Duh' or something. Jer felt he could do better, and he did. And Jeff grew fatter and fatter until he was as wide as he was high.

i seem to remember jeff's belly buldging out of his shirt in your books. i'm not sure how my haysoose has gone into such a uber skinny character. it slowly happened over the course of the story for no discernable reason. i mean, this latest incarnation is just ridiculously thin!! LOL!! but i like it. leave room for a doug joke or something.

Ah, the halls of H.M.King... ginger soccer fanatics... beefy flabby sidekicks skinnied down to better fit the sidekick format... I guess Haysoose was skinnier than Jeff in my comics too, but only because i drew Jeff completely obese... like morbidly.
