I hope that the cardboard cut out jokes aren't lost on anyone. If it's really all that confusing, I suggest you visit this comic . You see, Pigeoncat does not operate under the normal fluctuations of time - I can't believe I've been doing this comic for two years and I only have 35 issues to show for it! Seriously though, it's coming back. It's just hard when you're changing your shit all the time - you know, like your home, your career and your whole method of thinking.

So, temporarily, I am working in DC before I gallivant off to San Francisco. The cool part about my job? I get to work on my comic while I answer phones at a law firm. The not cool part about my job? I get to answer phones at a law firm. I'm truly blessed that I have such a stunning imagination (har har) or else I'd truly perish of boredom. It was SO stellar today that I actually got two comics done. I might even get another one done tonight, or maybe work on my goddamn music blog for once.

33. The remixes are pretty exciting!

Some things got done today. It felt good. Things beside the comic, I mean. Man. Counting down the hours and the seconds!

While I really enjoy the wacom (pronounced WHACKEM har har) tablet, seeing as my printer/scanner doesn't work, it doesn't make it easy to get over the nature of Things Getting Super Pixelated when I get that detailed. I mean, I guess it could be fixed but that would mean that I would be working on really big files and my laptop hates photoshop enough as it is, seeing as I am usually running other giant programs (iTunes, I am looking at you, you goliath).

I think if I had EFP, I would trade it for telekinesis wherein I would make things move to me faster and quicker from long distances. Like food. Man, would I appreciate some food right now. I really really would. I may not get my wish granted, but a girl can dream, yo.

There's a dash of irony going on in Headville Comics lately, and that's that... neither Pigeonhead nor Cathead have appeared in the latest five comics. Don't worry, that is about to change. I have not forgotten about Mouthy, either. Everyone just has to wait their turn.

It's supposed to snow like mad crazy bunny rabbits here today. I don't think I like the sound of that too much. That'll keep me further and deeper trapped in. But then I'll make another comic. Which that's good, right? Oh well. I have the next ones planned out anyways, it's those goddamn bodies that are so hard to draw!

(Also. Now the headphones are fixededed.)

I don't think I will have this powerful of an output for too too much longer - ideally, I want at least a new one each week - but once I leave this town, things will be differenter and for the better.

Now, for those of you who are like, "Who is Heidi Montag?!" and you really don't like copying the link from the title, here we go: She is making an album, her boyfriend is scary, and you can watch her be really fake here.

You know how you've got something on your mind and you really want to say it but you feel like you've got to wait forever to get it out? That's what this comic is about. Not only was I jumpy (and sleepless) to make this comic happen, but those two kids have been thinking about romancing with each other for so long, it's ridiculous. And Heidi Montag showed up, too, for good measure (how stupid / great is The Hills? It's the most vapid entertainment I can think of, unless you count being braindead). But Orlando... poor Orlando... (pssh, not really, right? DJ Schmaltz knows who Justice is AND thinks that the Fake Blood remix of Bonde Do Role is hardly "off the shelf"). And lastly:

Check out the color version of the second panel.

Some of you expressed confusion as to why the badger comic jumpstarted the new onflux of Pigeoncats. Well you see, the idea was that it's been a while since you last saw a Pigeoncat, and Wallace was acting as your re-entry tour guide. And also? Badgers are pretty phenomenal animals. And they are going to be playing a bigger role in the remainder of Pigeoncats.

But yeah, what bed are Hilary and DJ Schmaltz on?

Yeah... It's been nearly six months since I made a Pigeoncat. It's not like I didn't have ideas, but the depression of being in Maine with no musical outlet has gotten to me... so severely that I am failing school, consequently changing my major, and transferring to San Fran Academy Of Art. I feel like now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, it's getting easier to conceive of drawing for fun. And believe me... I have some good plotlines coming up, so keep checking every few days!

Hi folks! This is the long awaited return to the world of Pigeoncat. This is a break from the norm and, while I'd love to do all of the other comics like this, it's not only hard to find people to cooperate and pose, but it takes a lot of time. I also need to buy a better tripod.
Thanks to Tyler McPhee, Ben Rush, Claire Blanke and John Enkosky and BIG HUGS OF LOVE to Leona Dalphond who contributed their bodies. That sounds gross!
Also, yes, the size of the font is REALLY SMALL, which is due to the presentation size of this piece. 25Pigeoncat was meant to be a six foot banner - and it was/is - but that's why the font is so small. So it would be worth your time, if you like me, or if you like giggling, to check out the sizes of the other panels zoomed in on flickr. Now that I have this up, I guarantee a return to normal format and more chuckles. HOLLA!

24. Can you find Mike, Calvin, me and Pattie?

And I'm starting to feel more empathetic to Orlando and DJ Schmaltz is getting more and more snobby. But now that I have this huge one done, I can get on with the plot. Trust me, it's going to be good.

I was really tired today but then I got obsessed with finishing this comic and now it's 4 a.m. and I have to be awake in 5 hours. I'm not very nice to myself. But at least I had this to listen to, even though this might have been cuter. But now it's time for me to scoop up my goofy cat and go to bed.

I like the smiley face method better than the *#%* method because punctuation marks should not be squandered. Man, if you haven't eaten beef in over a year and you're starving at 1 a.m., don't go to Denny's and have a philly cheesesteak!

Which is what you normally do? Yeah. But it does work, trust me. Now, onto the archived drivel: For my 17th birthday, the only thing I asked for was a pinata. So I was super excited, on one hand, that I got TWO! but a little peeved that all of the other people were stupid enough to buy me something else. So. When your friend tells you that they want a pinata, THEY WANT EVERY LAST GODDAMN PINATA IN THE WORLD.

I'm excited that Orlando and Hilary are both featured in this comic - that hasn't happened it what seems like years. Years, kids. Time is not linear in Headville - it's roundedly triangular (triangular has lines, P.S.)
There's also a random blue tinge to this comic, so I hope you enjoy that. Oh, the joys of CMYK saving. Oh, the joys of being awake at weird hours leading to strange bloggings.

Would you want to live in a place called Headville? At first, I didn't think that this name would be an appropriate one for these characters, but because it was so obvious and dumb, I kept it.

I hope that you get the pun. And Pigeonhead is, by the way, a rock pigeon. But that's so obscure that I don't think I will do a pun on that.

No one really cares, but I think I did a good job on Cathead's jeans. IT'S THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE EVER SEEN BELOW THEIR WAISTS!

Also, I have two more already made after this comic, but I'm not posting on the blog because I have some unfinished ones that I want make first because they continue the story of Pigeonhead's newfound rapping desire. Feel free to check the other ones out at flickr, though.

Oh, in case you're not up with the K-Fed ref, yo, I can jog your memory.

Introducing the Hilarycorn. And the Mouthy rainbow. Those colors, by the way, are some of the different aura colors that you can have, according to a really cool aura book that I have (which is nothing like this, but that's OK). I'm a magenta and if you want to know what you are (damn this is so PR), you can look at it here.

Some notable things going on here, the first:

Hilary Duff. Why am I obsessed with her against all logic? It's a question that plagues everyone, especially when I wear this
to school. I think some people took me seriously, but if you know me, you understand that I LIKE IRONY because it's SO IN right now.

The other things is concerning Cathead's dress: the brush is my cat Asimov's face. You can see other pics of him on Flickr.
