Often times I feel like this for the first hour or so at work. What follows for the next several comics is an actual conversation between me and my brain.

Brain is a dick.

I may not seem like it, but I am a big baseball fan. And the one player I grew up loving to watch play is Ken Griffey Jr. I am sad to see him go.  I mean look at these stats, they are amazing! (stats are from Baseball-Reference.com) Let us not forget that he is number 5 on the all time career home run list with 630. And he did it WITHOUT steroids.

I love poop jokes.

Nothing like a good STD joke riddled with sarcasm and MTG references.

Today is Momma Horsley’s birthday! She turns 59 years old! My mom gives me a lot of inspiration (for life, not the comic) and has always agreed to NOT read my comics so she could continue to love me. She has read a few and recently I gave her permission (after nearly 7 years) to read the comic if she wanted to. She didn’t. BUT she still get’s an HBD comic!

Jonathan Burley of Alternative Conversations did up this lovely guest comic for me. He also posted to his site here

And the conclusion to the comics that I stole from Alternative Conversations

Confused? Go back two comics and read the write up.

Want to see the original? click here

And here is part two of the comics I am stealing from Alternative Conversations.

The the original here.

Go back one if you want an explanation of WHY I am doing this.

Whats this? A STOLEN strip? Yup. It is. Well, technically not because Jonathan Burley gave me permission. How did this happen? Read the following conversation between Jonathan and me. The original comic can be seen here at Alternative Conversations. More will follow.

[4/16/2010 10:06:52 PM] John Horsley: yeah.
[4/16/2010 10:07:02 PM] John Horsley: I havn’t been in a very comicy mood recently
[4/16/2010 10:07:06 PM] John Horsley: that and my buffer is GONE
[4/16/2010 10:07:12 PM] Jonathan Burley: why, something wrong?
[4/16/2010 10:07:16 PM] John Horsley: so I’m doing them the night before they go up, which I HATE doing
[4/16/2010 10:07:26 PM] John Horsley: new job, full time school schedule and shit
[4/16/2010 10:08:19 PM] Jonathan Burley: ah yeah that’d do it. i only had a buffer twice in my comic career
[4/16/2010 10:08:34 PM] John Horsley: I usually have a week or two buffer ahead of me
[4/16/2010 10:08:38 PM] John Horsley: right now, I have zero
[4/16/2010 10:08:41 PM] John Horsley: well, I take that back
[4/16/2010 10:08:47 PM] John Horsley: I have some Sergeant Blinky comics all done and ready
[4/16/2010 10:09:48 PM] Jonathan Burley: hmm and taking a week off would probably be out of the question lol
[4/16/2010 10:10:20 PM] John Horsley: I’ve thought about it man
[4/16/2010 10:10:28 PM] John Horsley: but I haven;t missed an update in…forever
[4/16/2010 10:10:44 PM] Jonathan Burley: you could do….here’s an idea:
[4/16/2010 10:11:10 PM] Jonathan Burley: come up with a multi-panel comic, right? but only put one panel of the comic up a day
[4/16/2010 10:11:32 PM] John Horsley: thats a good idea
[4/16/2010 10:11:36 PM] John Horsley: stretch it out
[4/16/2010 10:11:41 PM] Jonathan Burley: then you could stretch one comic for a week…yeah lol
[4/16/2010 10:11:47 PM] Jonathan Burley: suspense
[4/16/2010 10:28:02 PM] Jonathan Burley: lol
[4/16/2010 10:56:06 PM] Jonathan Burley: you could always come up with a mini-series from an idea too. those go pretty fast if you’re short on an idea. like http://www.altconvos.com/?p=588 and the two after it
[12:14:59 AM] Jonathan Burley: so what do you think of a mini-series? you could do your own stranded on an island set lol
[12:15:11 AM] Jonathan Burley: lots of possibilities there. coulda made mine longer
[12:20:31 AM] Jonathan Burley: alright, i’m gonna take off for a few hours to relax since i’ve done my homework. then probably bed
[12:20:36 AM] Jonathan Burley: got a doctor’s appointment tomorrow :\
[12:20:57 AM] John Horsley: lol
[12:21:07 AM] John Horsley: maybe I’ll just steal yout island idea
[12:21:13 AM] John Horsley: do the EXACT same comics
[12:21:16 AM] John Horsley: with my characters
[12:21:23 AM] Jonathan Burley: haha you’re a creative dude. you could easily make your own
[12:21:54 AM] Jonathan Burley: i don’t mind sharing ideas though. you can use zombie week too if you want :\
[12:22:14 AM] John Horsley: yeah, but it would make me laugh to no end to just take your comic and literally PASTE one of my characters over it and change NOTHING else

This is a hint to anyone, you give me permission and I will do it. That and a good challenge. I love challenges. Like your mom.

I’ve been sitting on this drawing for MONTHS. I think it was finished back in November of 2009. I drew the base of it, then my buddy Zach at work did some detail to it then I put it in photoshop and colored it. I think it looks pretty. I hope the joke comes across. I honestly didn’t mean it to be an ass sex joke, it just sort of happened.
