Johnny-Octavius

Aw jeez - realizing what year it is:
If we fucking LIVE to see 2027, the #StarWars 50th anniversary hype is going to be totally NUTS!
"George Lucas's Holy Vision" ain't the root of my personal nerdery by a #Longshot (*wink*) but even I may participate just a little for the sake of sheer celebration!

UGH.
#TFW 2020 doesn't seem that long ago (particularly since the health and political trauma of that year is still fresh in your memory) but you realize that we're officially in the dark side of the 2020s, now.
More than HALF THE BLOODY DECADE INTO IT!
I repeat: UGH.

For some odd reason, I keep forgetting that edible glitter is a thing until it’s served to me.

Happy Anniversary to the Archive (again) as well!!

The original first page of the original version of Shrimp Fried Riot circa January 2006. Octavius (my self insert) and the chibi avatar of my best friend, Jesse Dukellis. (Rest In Peace). Octavius: "Holy Crap!! I'm all chibi"! Jesse: "Dude!! I could totally KILL somebody and onluy be tried as a MINOR"!

The 10th page of "My Own Personal Apocalypse", one of the earlier reboots of Shrimp Fried Riot. Octavius in a purple shirt with a skull on it yells to the heavens while standing in front of a two-tonerd grey background. Octavius: "Awright, you stupid universe... YOU WIN!! I GIVE UP!!"

The first page of Shrimp Fried Riot: The Next Generation, featuring Octavius Jr and his best friend, Mutt.

The 20th Anniversary page of Shrimp Fried Riot, featuring various protagonists and secondaries of various versions and reboots of the comic over the last 20 years. Octavius "Ozzie" Xailenrath the 3rd, Geoffrey "Mutt" Perlmutter, Johnny Grey, original Octavius, Lucy Q, Octavius Jr, "Grandpa Octavius" (an aged-up version of the original) Milo Mannheim and his sidekick, Scorch.

There've been starts, stops, reboot after reboot.
Thru ennui, catharsis, losing my best friend & an identity crisis that'd make Mystique rage-quit!
Still
Happy Anniversary to #ShrimpFriedRiot!
I think that no matter what, I'll always return to it.
It's a piece of my soul at this point.

Part 2 of Zed Hudson's first meeting with Lord NightOwl. Zed has a few issues with being judged.

A new page of #ZedVsTheWorld after a TEN MONTH gap!
(Man, I gotta get back on the proverbial stick!)

The Webcomic Crossover & Cameo Archive - Keeping track of your webcomic characters since 14th February 2005!

Cameos from other #webcomics were reported in the #webcomic of "Zed vs. The World" by @xailenrath.bsky.social & "Weapon Brown" by Jason Yungbluth, causing updates to the #CameoArchive (crossovers.dragoneers.com)! 😎

the first page of "Zed vs. The World". Quick intros of the titular protagonist, Zed Hudson, his deceased father, the superhero known as "Hardcore", and some of Zed's various half-siblings (Hardcore got around): Kid Hardcore, Queensize, Plus, Presto and Block. Also, Zed's favorite barista, Ophelia Resnick.

Zed LOVES coffee!

Zed and his reality (Universe Gemini)'s Jenny Everywhere, Jennifer Ba Bei, and a 4th Wall break.

Zed has issues with Mother Nature. Mother Nature just has issues.

The first 4 pages of my old #webcomic, "Zed Vs The World".

Father Charles Monahan, aka "Papa Chatlie". Man of God; Monster Hunter. REEEALLY hates vampires.

The "Ups & Downs" of life are starting to (once again) become bereft of "ups".
I've taken a hiatus from #ComicFury.
I'm doing a 'soft rebrand' of my graphic arts.
I was even doing surprisingly better with the #diabetes.
Then ONE bad medical thing happened, now I'm spiralling.
When does it stop?

Back when I was more active on #BirdSite & saw a celeb's name in the dreaded right side "What's Happening" box, I feared they had died. Now, when I see a celebrity name in that box, I fear they've transformed into some stone-hearted Nu-Republican MAGA asshole with 'opinions'.

Still got 2 hours to go before midnight and I am starting to yawn.
Jeez, I'm gettin' OLD.
#BackInTheDay, during a New Year's Eve party, I wouldn't even begin to get drowsy until January 3rd!!
#HappyNewYear!

It's the final countdown - about 30 hours left in this year.
There were ups, downs and some shit went sideways. Still, I move forward. How about YOU?

Oh, Jer - I am so sorry, man.

Okay - I've just found out that there's gonna be a #Gremlins3 via a friggin' Jack In the Box commercial!
Weirder still, the release date is set for 2 years from this very day.

Chip and Eddie of Rose-Tinted World go to Spiffee Burger.

Chip and his father Jonathan discuss the modern news cycle.

Back at Spiffee Burger, Maddie Crenshaw discusses the corporate office's bizarre new products with her insomniac (and mentally unstable0 employee, Zack Davenport. Zack reacts to two of what one would HOPE are hallucinations: the avatars of Obesity and Diabetes.

The "Marshamllow Peeps" - Mallory, Tess and Daphne, go out for pizza. The counter guy gets a bit distracted by their 'prominent attributes'.

I've recently combined many of my myriad #webcomics into a shared universe.
Obviously, I'm insane and a glutton for punishment.

Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say, "Yes!"

2. and/or telling why "You'll never see this toon the same way again" because they are EXPOSING whatever mindstate or opinion that was perfectly common BACK THEN but is supposedly cancel-worthy NOW (that showed up in like ONE episode for 12 seconds), in order to "ruin your childhood"?!
Really, #WTF?

1. Why are there so many #YouTube channels dedicated to critiquing past #Cartoons, #FamilySitcoms & kids' shows via The Millennial Eye? - really stretching to showcase 'Dark, Mature Themes' and "Conspiracies supposedly Hidden From Us UNTIL NOW"?

A still from the NetFlix show 'Super Crooks' whereas one of the getaway bikes' license plates says "NOV7TH" - which is today.

Looks like I picked the exact right day to do a re-watch on #SuperCrooks!

A PKE surge of incredible, even dangerous proportions!

Coffee doesn’t make the art—you do. Coffee just makes you slightly less feral while doing it. 🐺☕

Kinda in that same vein & keeping with what Poochy was supposed to BE, I'mma cast my vote for Original Recipe Kon-El/Superboy.
The shades, shaved head/spitcurl 'do, the one earring. The leather jacket. The 'TUDE.
I mean - COME ON!
He grew and evolved & all, but Reign of the Supermen Kon?
F'in POOCHY

Leo, Olivia and Fitz dressed as Dr. Furter, Janet and Brad for (early) Halloween!

The only (proper) day of the year I can post this:

... and yet, you're still HERE.

That was MY assumption the last THREE times The Rapture "happened".
The faithful got called up, about 436 ppl outta 8 billion actually left and a few 'missing persons' reports were filed.
But mostly, nobody really noticed because we suck as a species.

I'm good.

The world sucks flaming farts. Here’s a bit of relief starring OCs from my friends over on ComicFury.com. You are not ready for…Rubbergirl vs Serpentyne!

Chip Larroquette watches the news. His father, Jonathan espouses that allowing him to do so is akin to child abuse. In this day and age, he ain't wrong!

Cat and Mouse get lost in a dark alley and are accosted by Bargus the goblin. This was a mistake on his part as Cat and Mouse turn out to be a vampire and a werewolf, respectively.

Nyx Carrion, Queen of St. Murphy's vampires, attacks Rex Riley - an interloper into her "palace" beneath the St. Murphy Cemetery. Noting the multicolored and slightly glowing fog creeping around them, she thinks that he is defending himself with a gas attack. It turns out that the "gas" is actually phantoplasm, and Rex's real weapon is the "upstairs neighbors" - cemetery ghosts from the graves above Nyx's domain!

From the pages of I Was A Teenage Super Villain, Chicago's newest superheroes: The Chicago Ultras!

Here's where I am now
3 pages from my current #webcomics:
2 from "Tales From St. Murphy",
1 from "Solid Citizens"
and one older page from "I Was A Teenage Super Villain", which I really need to get back to, at least to finish the current dangling storyline in the chapter.
