BRAND NEW Z&F Volume 4:
A little homage here to an old TV show fav: 3rd Rock from the Sun. The aliens had quite a fear of jello in that show, and the writers would work it in here and there. Seriously though, if you never saw it before, it’s some scary stuff… is it really edible? is it moving on its own? is it alive?
Book Progress:
It’s coming along quite well, people! I am finishing up the Bonus Materials section, and wrapping up the interior. Still trying to decide on what to do for the cover. I cannot wait to have this book in my hands!
Conventions 2010:
This year I am looking to expand upon Z&F by attending more cons and actually getting a table for once. So far, I have a table at Chicago’s C2E2 in April (where the books will be sold in person for the first time!), side by side with buddy Byron Wilkins of 1977. I am thinking of attending MOCCA in NY, however, it’s only 1 week away from C2E2, so that makes things tough. I will of course be attending Philly’s Wizard World in June and have a couple friends in mind to table-up with. Baltimore’s Comic Con was a blast last year and I’m all about getting a table there again. The big disappointment however is the 2nd New England Webcomics Weekend, which I attended last year and had a blast. This year it was moved to the fall, and on the exact same weekend as my wedding. All jokes about getting just married there aside, it’ll be missed, but I’m sure my party that Saturday will be ton more fun ;0)
I can barely manage jello. But when you put fruit in it…I run away too.
I think jello rates up there in the “weird food” category…
I save Jello for when I am in the hospital. It is pretty good when they won’t let you have real food.
yes, jello reminds me of having the flu as a kid, it was all I could keep down!
I was about to comment on how that’s the first illustrated jello mold (with little fruit slices) I’ve ever seen. Jello Molds scare me, and I haven’t really been able to eat jello since that time I had a classmate who was addicted to snorting it through his nose…
snorting it? ugh, I don’t blame you for swearing off it after that. Sadly, I’d be quite honored to have drawn the first jello mold in a comic, but I doubt it’s the truth.
“Incoming message from the Big Giant FRED!”
…sorry, that was lame.
it’s okay, we all have those moments. Fred has them quite often.
I can never make Jell-O properly, but I love to eat it. It does spark fear in my heart occasionally cuz I just don’t trust that jiggle. 😀
one can never trust a jiggle! lol
Come to think of it… Jello is flavored pureed bones. That IS scary.
is that… true? *jumps on google*
hahaha Very cute! and I love the jello with the ‘wubbly wubbly” lines.
I concur with Chris, I dub “wubbly wubly” as the universal sound effect for jello. *smacks gavel*
Man I miss 3rd Rock, that was such a great show. I like the picture of the cow on the front of the carton, makes me think that should be Chocolate Milk in there though. 🙂 I can honestly say I’ve had a lot of Jello in my time, but I’ve never had Jello with fruit in it. I’ve seen it, just never have been able to bring myself to eat it with fruit in it. My boys weren’t sure of Jello for a while there, my 3 yr old eats it now, but my 2 yr old is still a bit hesitant. He’ll eventually eat it, but he’s still unsure about the texture and the fact that it wiggles so much.
I’ve always wondered where the spilt milk cliche came from, and a lot of the others. I think it’s great that Fred is so innocent that he takes cliche’s like that to heart, I’m sure that’s another frustrating trait that drives Zorphbert nuts.
come to think of it, I don’t think I ever ate a jello mold with fruit either. Maybe it’s a big myth.
I too love Fred’s innocence, worked perfectly for this idea. It’s what makes him so endearing.
I too suffer from Jell-O trauma and cannot it eat. It’s this side of snot. I can’t even do Jell-O shots and I’ll drink ANYTHING once.
3rd Rock was the best. Lithgow is a terrific comedic actor with the best timing and expressions. The incoming message bit made me laugh every time!
🙂
Man, Lithgow had a tremendous amount of lines in that that were comedy gold— but only because of his delivery: overdramatic and well timed! I love trying (and failing miserably) to do impressions of him.
lol “jell-O trauma”, sounds serious!
I must be the only one who loves Jell-O, molded and all. (What’s one supposed to do over spilled Jell-O, btw?)
Also, I move that Samantha’s “wubbly wubbly” should become the universally recognized sound effect for Jell-O.
XDDDD
OoOoo..I’m such a trend setter! HAHAH
