Recently Google announced its intention to digitize thousands of books in a further attempt to control everything involved with the internet. A couple of friends of mine from work speculated that within a few decades, they would more likely than not become all powerful controllers of the world. Like in the Terminator or the Matrix.
I just hope they continue to keep things simple.
What with it being the end of the semester and everything, procrastination comes to mind.
So on Sunday night, while I was trying to write a 15 page research paper that was due the next day, I thought of today's strip.
Remember, the sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
Everybody keeps asking me if I'm excited to go to Europe in January. Which of course I am.
Especially after hearing stories from Wirtz and his brother about their experiences over there.
What's not to be excited about?
Also, I had a copilot on this comic - Ella was the brain that suggested, nay, demanded the nipple in the above depiction of a French whore. I thought it was a bit risque, but she wouldn't let it slide. Ella loves her nipples.
Alright, a couple of things you may have noticed.
The comic looks oddly.... hand drawn.
Did Wheezy decide to try some sort of weird Photoshop filter to make what once looked wonderous and vector-like into hand drawn black and white-ness?
Well, no. I actually hand drew it. I normally just draw it right in Flash, but in an attempt to save time I just sketched it out and scanned it in. Lemme know what you guys think.
Anyway - this comic came about when I walked outside Monday morning. It be cold.
I've been up making a website for my CSCE 430 class since around 8.
I'm not done because I'm retardedly making it Flash.
So, needless to say I'm not going to get a new comic up for Tuesday.
BUT I did run down the entirety of my collegiate Computer Science Projects and my contributions.
Just what you guys wanted I'm sure.
It is kinda interesting to see all the different technologies I used though.
Wait wait... that's not right at all.

Man I'm a worthless pile. I don't think I've learned anything in college.
Have I mentioned that I draw all those comics in Flash?
Three good friends of mine recently qualified for the International Computer Science Programming something or another in Shanghai, China. It's kinda like the nerd olympics.
We got to thinking about how it's the classic underdog story, a group of ragtag Americans from the midwest vs. the super highly trained opposition, not a card in the deck to help them, nobody thinks they can win, etc. etc.
I thought it would make a good movie. (Props to Lincoln for sparking the idea)
To make up for the extreme laziness that has been my webcomics of late, I made it 1024 x 768.
In case any of you kids out there were in need of a desktop wallpaper.
Congratulations to Kaiser, Kell, and Lincoln. Try not to smoke too much opium over there.
Ok - so I went from 3 a week to 2 a week... and now it seems like I'm destined to post only 1 a week.
These things take some time to draw people.
I realize it's no excuse... and I'll do my absolute best to keep from sliding into the 1 a week category. And just to prove my resolve in this matter, I am not sleeping tonight until a new comic has been posted this very evening.
Feel free to AIM me during the night with disparaging / encouraging remarks.
Well, I got Halo 2 for some retarded reason, and lately that's all I've really been doing, as opposed to other people I know who continue to interact with society without the use of a 10 dollar a month subsription service and a headset.
Hopefully I can finish playing the stupid thing soon so I can continue at least going to classes, otherwise I'm gonna have to figure out a way to get paid for playing Xbox and drawing the occasional comic.
That'd be sweet.
Ooooo - the comic's below the post today. Neat-o.
So, yesterday I went to the Post Office to get my passport, and as I handed over my birth certificate, driver's license, social security card, and credit card, it occurred to me that for the briefest of moments a large balding man, who was obviously displeased with his job and undoubtably in government enforced therapy so as not to snap and bring an AK-47 to work one day, had every piece of concrete evidence I existed in his possession and should he want to, he could easily destroy the proof that I am indeed alive and a citizen of this country.
As lamentable as that may be for the next four years.
Needless to say it unnerved me a little bit.
Sorry, no Wheezy originals in this post. Just wanted to tell you to be on the look out for Guest Comics from prominent figures from around various areas of my life.
Also, some links to other webcomics (and syndicated comics) I enjoy perusing.
In order of how I check them.

So, in one of my classes there's a guy who sits in the front, always answers questions and asks questions and volunteers for stuff. So already, I don't really like him. Nobody should be that interested in what's going on. Lately it's gotten to the point where the teacher asks if anybody else would like to volunteer.
But on top of that, Friday, the kid pulls out a pair of knitting needles and starts knitting during class. He's still staring at the board, paying attention, but he's knitting.
I can only imagine he's making it for the professor in an attempt to get a good grade, which is kinda understandable in a weird overachiever sorta way, and wants to make sure she knows he actually made it. Or maybe he's just a huge tool. Well, he's a huge tool either way.
I'm trying to release comics on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday calendar, and needless to say I missed Monday.
While I doubt anybody cares, for some reason I felt the need to explain.
This weekend rocked me hard.
Great time. Thanks to everybody that enjoyed the weekend with me.
Also, I had to finish yet another BK game for work. You're welcome to take a look at it, although it's not particularly entertaining or interesting. It's a "Lites Out" rip off - except instead of turning everything off you're supposed to turn everything on.
I feel like that statement should lead into some sort of sex joke, but I can't think of anything.
Anyway - you can find the game here, and be sure to look for a new comic Wednesday.
I'm pretty sure I already told this story to every person I know, but in case you hadn't heard it, the above scenario actually occurred between two Menards employees, one of which was my friend.
He was the one reading the magazine, not the one asking the questions.
Just keep that in mind next time you ask a Menards employee for help with your deck or beer bong or whatever it is you're trying to build.
On a technical note - when you click on the link to the comic, most web browsers will automatically scale it down to fit in the window. My comics aren't meant for that kind of containment. If you're using Mozilla just click on it again, it such bring it to actual size. If you're using Explorer click the little icon thingy in the lower right hand corner to do the same.
These comics are meant for more than 800x600.
In case anybody actually wanted to make any comments, I changed my blogger settings so that anybody can do it, not just registered Blogger users - that seemed kinda facist to me.
Uh, that's it I guess.
So, my buddy got Lasik surgery this past week - but only on one eye. His parents' insurance apparently only allows for so much spending on this sorta thing per year, (I'm a little vague on the details), which means he gets one eye fixed in 2004 and one fixed in 2005.
I tried to convince him to get a monacle, but apparently that isn't "socially acceptable" enough.
I say, if it's good enough for Uncle Pennybags it's good enough for me.
Anyway, the drawing happened after I read his away message that said "Getting steroids for my eye".
Well, I decided to start a blog - mainly because it was the easiest way I could think of to post web comics. Plus I just really like jumping on band wagons of any type.
I've still got a closet full of parachute pants from when MC Hammer was big, in case anybody is interested.
So I'm gonna start posting them as I finish them. Hopefully they're funny. If not - oh well. It's still better than homework or work.
First one is in the post above.
