Vol 1: Hedgeclippers!

I have no clue what inspired me to give Sean hedgeclippers, but I'm pretty sure it came from an MSN convo. The "disclaimer" thing with Jose is because he showed me ponos when I was a kid. It was some art he was working on and was curious of what I thought of it. It gets worse. Some time later I was an advisor on a hentai game staff. I stand by that being actually the coolest position of my life. I don't know how many people can brag they were going to make a hentai game, but I'm (sorta) one of them. And damnit damnit damnit! I invaded Author Space again.

For those of you who don't know who Adam Sessler is, he's the hap-hazarded co-host of Tech TV/G4TV's Extended Play/X-Play. I love that show. At one point, after reviewing a game that had a character named "Dik Dik Van Dik," Dik Dik became a catch phrase for the poor man. Which is one of his many loser moments. The reason I love him so, is because I love losers like me. So, I'd naturally lurv the guy.

Vol 1: Sleeping with Rayven

In case you were wondering, yes, that TV is actually one of the monitors from Sonic the Hedgehog.

Anyway, I actually do have insomnia, and Megan actually does pass out after that much work. The long spiel that Snap goes on that you can't read is because I want'd it to look like it was important, by make Mr. T look even more important. If it's really that important to know what I said, just open the gif in an animation editor and read it yourself. Finally, the extremely related news head lines gag is sort of stolen from Family Guy, but I put my own spin on the joke.

One last thing, the intro comes from the flash series Eskimo Bob. It's pretty awesome, go check it out.

Also, don't forget that it's T's nature to toss people.

Vol 1: Mr.T v.s. Jackass Adventures

Before there was Chuck Norris, there were Mr. T versus comics, in which Mr.T was ridiculously awesome and tossed everyone he apposed. Also in these comics Mr.T would often need to weld some miraculous contraption out of scrap metal, and his van had a land speed record of Mach X. X meaning where ever he needed to be, he was there in exactly 1 second. This comic is my tribute to those silly comics.

Then again, those comics usually have the worst photoshop work ever.

Vol 1: Moving Along

For some reason, Jose was constantly broke, or low on money. I have no clue what he did for a living, or how he lost so much money, I just accepted it. This is reflected in the comic a lot, as he doesn't seem to have a job or spend any money, but he always seems to get broker and broker. Also, in my comic he was prone to breaking into song. This marks the first appearence of Mr.T too, which I use a 7 year old sprite of him to do so. Mr.T ranks in as the third coolest character, because he was never as popular as Megan or Sean.

I have no clue if he actually hurt his back fighting Rowdy Roddy Piper in the first Wrestlemania, but I have a picture of him lifting Piper on his back that I base that off of.

Vol 1: The End!

I would never do such an ending. I'm not Saint Elsewhere's genius writing staff, or Dallas's or any other freaking TV show that ended being a dream. Also, this doesn't count as the original team's first reappearance, because this is a dream. Yeah, totally saved my previous comment about not seeing them for a year.

And so, Megan makes Snap and Drew become friends again, and I officially see this as the end of Drew's emo period. I think there were several times Megan actually tried to entice us to do things using naked pictures of herself, even though we knew she wouldn't deliver so we didn't do them.

This is also one of the first time's that an ending of the comic is entirely random and unrelated to the actual comic.

Vol 1: Needs more Joe

There are times I'd rather play video games than make comics. You'll know everytime because the title of a comic will usually indicate what I wish I was doing. Anyway, Drew was never really nice to H-man, and I decided that H-man would finally try and try to strike back. At this time, Drew's emo-ness was really getting on everyone's nerves. So, again, it was reflected in the comic.

Oh, and right after Sean, Megan is the next coolest character in the comic. Why do you think they have pretty much the same color scheme?

Vol 1: Mistakes

"And people say I don't know how to talk to girls," is one of the best lines in the comic, in my opinion. It just is that funny to me. I have no clue why we were going to beat up Yu-Gi-Oh kids, or why it was such a great idea. I'm going to assume we were having a rage fest on MSN about Yu-Gi-Oh one day and I decided to put it into a comic. I also love Lerick's line about prejudicial hate. "JA-Team" comes from the title of the comic and the A-Team, which I started to watch a lot of again. I love Mr. T for those of you who don't know, but we'll see him more later. Last note, Sean says indeed a lot. I'm pretty sure he was the one that said it all the time on MSN, but it might have been Andy. I guess I just attributed it to him and made it his catch-phrase.

Vol 1: Current Events

Okay, since it's been 4 years I can probably give away some details without making him feel bad, as he's probably looking back at it and laughing, but I won't give all the details since I'd feel like I was betraying him. Essentially, there was something like a love triangle between me, him, and Megan. Something we would do during neotaku AIM chats, and becomes inspiration for our rivalry in the comic. Ultimately, Megan chose me, and he was c-r-u-s-h-e-d, but as Megan said, she didn't think anything serious of it, as we were all just playing around, but he took it serious, and he took an emo turn for a while. He still sorta acted that way, but me and him stayed friends, though he and Megan became rocky. But, the way Megan and he just are sort of conflict, so I don't know what to really say. I probably said too much just now, but whatever, you all know the back story now. Drew, I'm sorry if any of this was too revealing, but we're adults now bud, this is stuff we look back at and shrug it off with a laugh.

Also, if you noticed, Drew has a penchant for booting people (usually H-man) in the face. This was because his staple threat was to literally boot some one.

Vol 1: Coming of nazzy

The picture, by the way, was nothing really bad. It was two female characters basically just sitting together in lingerie (wow, I spelled that right) and humored me greatly. One of the girls, Luupo (regretful name, seeing as she was a wolf girl) was Kevin's main squeeze, so he'd be cross about the picture. Anyway, enough about my other loser projects, onto Sean!

Sean exhumes awesomeness. He is without question the coolest person in the comic and probably in the world. He never gets beat up, never loses, and stands at a slant. The reason he stands like that is so cool, he's fucking ITALIZIED, so there's more emphasis on him. I don't know why I let him be so cool, he just is. Period. The altercation between Sean and Drew comes from the fact Kyo was Drew's first username, and Sean refused to call him by anything else. This is also one of the few occasions I had Kris and H-man working together. Krazie later moves onto to hang out with Sean and that group and H-man becomes Lerick's comrade under Jose.

Vol 1: Danger, Danger!

Yeah... I really wish I knew about wikipedia before, so I wouldn't make stupid mistakes like KST. This is also the first mention of Sean (nazzy), who by the way, is probably the coolest character in the comic and in the world, but I'll give him the verbal sexings later. The "walks like a girl" part came from his MSN display name at the time, and I thought it was a funny slight at him. Him being Drew's arch nemisis and not Snap is probably because Sean was the only person that really got under Drew's skin without being retarded. The gift to god part is because Jose drew me sexy fan arts. Like I said, he's awesome. And the guy that appears at the end to kill Jose, is Kevin, a character from my short lived DOA fan-fiction "Casting Call." I've had him created in my head since like the sixth grade and that's probably the only media I've ever broadcasted him in, which sorta makes me sad. :\

Vol 1: Worst Comic Ever

Both titles for this comic are misnomers. It's generally pretty average. Everyone aggravates Snap, he screams, and everyone acts like the usually do. This is the first time Megan passes out. This stems from the fact that she would actually just go to sleep in random places, and becomes a running jokes in the comic. Master of the Custodial Arts is a rip from Half Baked, which is an awesome movie about stoners. Has Dave Chappelle and Jim Breuer, who looks reasonably like and acts reasonably like my stoner friend Brady (who isn't a stoner anymore, by the way). "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" is Dante's reoccurring line from Clerks, which is also awesome, but better than Half Baked. Regardless, go watch both.

Vol 1: Leonardo, New Jersey

And more Viewaskiewniverse reference! For those who don't know, Drew loved Clerks and Kevin Smith's films, and I had a fair enjoyment of them, but he influenced me towards them more. Plus, he pushed me into Tarintino's movies. I greatly appreciate him helping me find good taste in movies. Anyway, though, here appears Not Dave, me, the author, again. Not bad, I went like... 8 comics without showing up again. I regret putting in the line about not showing up a lot, because I really do pop in atleast once every ten comics. Also, I think this is only one of two times I invade "Author Space," which comes from Bob and George. The Author of that comic would occasionally appear from the top of the comic, as a way of trying to look like he's from above. That's Dave's bit, so I don't think I do it too much. I just like to be Neo-like and fly away. Last note, this is the first appearance of the JOS-cave, which becomes one of the major venues of the comic.
