Comic - As You're Up: Time Like The Present

I wish I could say that this As You’re Up was in some way exaggerated, but, alas…

It really can get a little too hard to keep track of the time when you’re immersed so deeply in your work!

Brief comic this week, as I’ve been pretty busy illustrating, but have no fear—numerous comics have been scripted, each more awesome than the last, and shall be drawn when I have the appropriate amount of time to spend on them! ;D

As You're Up: Inspireption (probably be worth seeing Inception before reading this comic!)

Okay, I’m honestly guessing I won’t be the first to make a joke of this kind, but still I couldn’t resist doing it for this week’s As You’re Up!

Went to see Inception the other day, and loved it. The visuals were just plain incredible, but they didn’t detract from the plot, which itself was superbly paced. (Excellent score too, which worked well to keep it all tied together!) Definitely worth watching!

Admittedly I’m not exactly the kind of person to write a movie review, so I’ll just say this: Go See Inception right now! XD

So, apology time… I’d like to say sorry to:
a) Christopher Nolan, for the terrible face-drawingness!
b) Leonardo DiCaprio, for the same reason as above!
c) Anyone who hasn’t seen Inception, or doesn’t know what exactly it’s about, for this comic probably not making all that much sense!*

*If this is you, then you should fix that by going to see Inception this very moment!
(And if you need further reason to do so, then consider that Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were essentially warm-ups for this movie!)

As You're Up Comic: Nomination Domination

Time for this week’s comic strip!

So hey, As You’re Up has been nominated for two Smack Jeeves Awards, in the categories Best Gag-A-Day and Most Improved Artwork! Gotta say that was a very pleasant surprise!

So to anyone and everyone who nominated us, thank you so much—this strip is officially dedicated to you folks (moreso than usual)! And a hearty thanks to anybody voting for us, too!

I’m gonna suggest that you mosey on over to take a gander at the awards—not specifically to vote for us, but rather to check out all the comics that have been nominated in each category. There’s some really awesome stuff up there, some of which I hadn’t caught before; a wonderfully diverse and impassioned range of comics, which is what the Awards are celebrating!

This week’s comic revolves around that most wonderful and elegant of instruments, the Horn of a Thousand Angry Bees, the Vuvuzela!

Well, I kinda feel like I’m jumping on the vuvuzela bandwagon with this, but given the amount of requests I got to do a vuvuzela-related comic I figured, why not?

Then I drew it and realised and oh god I apologize.

I do, however, relish every opportunity to say vuvuzela; it is a satisfying word.

Vuvuzeeeeeeeeeeeela.
