Blombo Tales #66: Inquisition |
March 27, 2009 Posted under Blombo Tales |

If you are looking for Comic #67 please see the update below.
Not much to report this time round, but I have created a Facebook Page for Blombo Tales. So if you consider yourself a fan and aren’t embarrassed admitting it then feel free to visit
You’ll also find a link on the Info tab that links to a simple application you can put onto your profile to show the latest comic.
Also a bunch of changes I made when I had webpage problems seemed to have changed the time my comics get uploaded… so while they are still Wednesday\Saturday in my timezone it is Tuesday\Friday in the US. I’ll fix this when I’m not a sleepy zombie maybe before you’ve seen this post… otherwise it will be afterwards.
Update: The change with timezones has been made… The next comic will still be up Wednesday in my timezone but if it is still Tuesday in your local time then you will probably be too early. I *think* it should correspond with midnight Chicago time but technology is a cruel mistress, with black shiny latex stretching over her sleek almost feline physique, looming above us on her stiletto heels as she strokes her predatory leather whip and growls.
Um, I think the point I was trying to make was that what I’ve planned mightn’t actually happen without me having a panic attack and having to fix something.

Blombo Tales #65: Reverse Throttle |
March 24, 2009 Posted under Blombo Tales |

Before making this comic I had packed up my Modbook all ready to be shipped back for upgrade
epair. It’s been great but the backlight has stopped backlighting, it’s still under warranty though. The only problem is that since it’s such a niche product I have to ship it back to the US (from Australia). This comic and the one before done on my trusty old wacom tablet but it seems my brain has had to readjust (or it’s just the number of human figures I’ve had to draw) so this comic took a good 2~3 hours. Hopefully I’ll improve get faster during the time my modbook is away.

Blombo Tales #64: Encounter |
March 20, 2009 Posted under Blombo Tales |

Hopefully Jayne and Eddie are beginning to look a little better in this strip. Man, introducing human characters has certainly increased the time it takes to make these comics. Not only do I have to keep the story building I can’t get away with a few squiggles anymore, I have to plan ahead to try to keep some sense of consistency with my characters. It might be hard, but a fun challenge is exactly what I need right now.

Blombo Tales #62: Vehicular Affection |
March 14, 2009 Posted under Blombo Tales |

What’s this you ask? The car can speak? Well no, she can think though and most of those thoughts revolve around Eddie.
Also: I’ve created an Information page which contains character summaries and current\past storyline descriptions to help new and current readers alike.
Update: It appears that somehow comments were broken… I’m not sure how long they were like this but I have fixed this now. Thankyou for your patience.

Blombo Tales #61: Of Muffins and Men |
March 11, 2009 Posted under Blombo Tales |

Someone is seriously going to have to do something about Eddie’s hair.
Never fear, Blombos are not pokemon. (And never tell a blombo otherwise or you will truly have a reason to be afraid)

Blombo Tales #60: Chimerical Chemicals |
March 7, 2009 Posted under Blombo Tales |

I hope you’ll continue to enjoy the new format at least as much as you did with the random strips. I knew I was taking a risk by doing this, and I truly don’t want to alienate any of you with the change… but this is the direction I feel that I should be taking Blombo Tales.
I’m still going to aim to keep this enjoyable, but maybe story-driven comics will create a slightly different kind of funny. Don’t worry though, when I think of random ideas that will not fit into the storyline I’ll still create stand alone strips for your amusement.
Yay! The seeds of an ongoing saga have just been planted.
Meet Jayne, she is a semi-studious (ie this is one of the rare times she actually studies) high-school student.
Update: Oh, I didn’t realise there might be some confusion before. Eddie is off-screen, not the little blombo. You’ll see him on Wednesday.

Blombo Tales #59: Pharmaceutical |
March 4, 2009 Posted under Blombo Tales |

The storyline begins on Saturday! Are you excited? I am excited!
Update: It looks like my host may have changed some configuration settings… If you can only see the latest comic this is why. I’ve raised a support ticket and hopefully it will be resolved soon – if not I’ll have to change the PHP to compensate.
Update: I believe this is all fixed now.
