Hey, punk! If you can read, then point your eyes at Violence Man in: Company Picnic. Remember, "Talking is for little girls."
A fine new webcomic from Evil Monkey Productions. Oop!

Pie-Eating Mayham! ... Ooo! Hot Dogs! ... Don't feed the ducks! Oh, sorry kid. ... Three day weekend!

Great strip, ColdChef. I'll have to find some time to read some more.

Consider me addicted. How do you find this stuff, ColdChef?

Miguel, my guess is he spends a lot of time googling for some common combination of words or phrases, like, say "effervescent marmoset" or some such.

His informant is a shoeshine boy.

Chef leans close as he slips Jimmy a ten-spot.

"What's the word on the street, Jimmy?"

"Online comics, Loretta."

"Don't call me that, Jimmy."

The author/illustrator, J. Norm Scott, also has a comic in EGM (a video game rag) concerning the monthly exploits of characters Hsu and Chan. It's how I originally found out about him, and have been keeping up with his work since. The Otters Halloween comic he has up at his site will always remain a favorite of mine.
