In an effort to get my brother to draw on a more regular basis, the two of us have started a daily jam strip. My brother was so proud of today's effort that he asked me to post it here. Sorry.

that first one's really scary .. what's that man supposed to be .. a sausage or an umbilical cord or a worm or something? Twisted stuff .. but I like it.

My brother has to do at least one panel a day, and so far he's exceeding that. So, until he gets bored with it, it's daily.

Thanks for the kind words, and we are getting a kick out of this, but these strips are really kind of horrible. We draw them as quickly as possible, alternating panels so nothing makes sense. And we use Pigmas. Brrrr.

When asked, my brother admitted that he didn't know what that thing in the first strip was. I also asked him why it says Man on the thing's t-shirt. He told me that he had to put something there.

It's probably the weirdest comic I've ever seen; I just adore it.

Has it finished? Will we never find out what Learn Happy meant? Or what happens to Roy the Floating Head on his journey through this strange and bizarre land you and your brother have created? Now that you have changed the whole taste of ham for a generation forever, is that it? Has Barbelith lost it's strip? Your public demands answers!

On a serious note, I do miss it.

We finished a third tier to the story, but my brother didn't have time to ink the last panel. I'm in Montreal on vacation, so I don't know when we're going to have a chance to finish it. I imagine we'll continue to use the dinosaur character in further works, because he makes us all glowy.

That head, by the way, is famed comedian Sinbad.

Never heard of famed comedian Sinbad, sorry. Enjoy your vacation. Am looking forward to the next installment.

Salute to Good Burger is the most touching exploration of male bonding rituals that I've ever seen.

Wow, facking brilliant stuff! Genius! There must be more, and soon! I'd actually pay cash money for this sort of thing, (if I had any).

Hey everyone! I'm still in Montreal, so you won't see the third tier for another week yet. Grant, my brother has been hassling me to start a website, so it's bound to happen. Again, when I get back.

Thanks for all the kind words. My brother checks here every so often, and he's always pleased to hear nice things. I'll hassle him to post his "Man-Ninja" drawings as soon as possible.

Now that I have a pen-brush, I'm fucking unstoppable! More to come!

A couple of buddies of mine started a jam strip like that a year or so ago and now they are sindicated with two compilation books out. Keep it up.
