Updated it again. Now to file for a restraining order...

I try to avoid basing characters on people that I know - it has failed miserably for me many times in the past, and I highly recommend that no one bases characters off their friends unless it is completely necessary. None are self-insertions, either. Most of the characters carry some of my traits (Jack the football fanatic, Sam has a more exaggerated but similar taste in music, Frank the gamer), but don't think I'm any of those characters in any way. After all, none of them are fat. XD

Jackass 3D comes out October 15th. Yep, you get to see Steve-O's nuts in 3D. Also I wish they would keep Dudesons in America consistant...

I do enjoy Futurama, though I'm not an avid watcher. My brother has all the seasons on DVD, I might steal them at some point. As for Dr. Who, not a fan. At all. I tried watching it and was completely uninterested from the get-go. Not to knock the show at all. It's pretty obvious it's an amazing show considering the following it has, but I'm not really a huge sci-fi person (I don't completely hate it, I mean I love Star Wars and Fallout 3 so that has to count for something), so some of that stuff doesn't interest me as much as others.

Since no one else is posting, I guess it does! It's sort of like becoming the mayor of a cardboard box in FourSquare (I think, I don't do FourSquare but I know you become the mayor of various places).

I think I need to modify it after, and replace Harvey Danger with Royksopp, and switch The Day I Get A Gun for Journey's Don't Stop Believing. Offspring varies from me. Sometimes they're my number 3 band, sometimes I can't stand them. It's very weird.

Anyone who follows me on Twitter knows that two of my favorite shows are Top Gear and Jackass (yes, it's not an active TV show anymore). I'm also really enjoying Community, Destination Truth, and River Monsters. I'm pretty sure my dream career is either a comicker or a crypto-hunter. Everyone wants to be an adventurer!

I misheard someone at work back in high school and thought she said something about a "jelly bean sniper". So, the name stuck, and I used it to name the coalition of the three comics that me and my friends had - Middle Man (the original name of JBS), Love Ninja, and Uncle Sunshine the Yellow Dildo (it's as graphic as it sounds. It's for some reason still up, just Google search it). But eventually the other 2 comics fell off, and it was confusing having jellybeansniper.com registered with a comic called Middle Man, so I just renamed the comic since I didn't have any readers anyways.

To #1 - I refuse to touch Twilight with a 10 foot pole. 16 year old werewolves, a high school girl who wants two people at once, no thanks. I honestly think Keanu Reeves was a better vampire, and we know how bad he was. #2 - Jelly Bean Sniper only really has 8 or 9 comics left, but I really can't bring myself to finish it because I don't want it to be over. I'm glad you liked it, but for now I'm trying to focus on Space Between to make that as good as possible. I may make a sequel to JBS because I really miss drawing some of those characters, more specifically Rex and Dark Lord Charles. But I can't do two comics at once right now, so it'll have to wait. Unless of course someone wants to pay me to do this.

I've thought about it, but right now I'm basically struggling to get the two comics done (thank you, job), but once I get my next vacation I'll probably do it.

My thinking is if people are boycotting Avatar for not having gay relationships in it when supposedly the future will be transgender, then there will be backlash for anything. I just figured I'd put that up, and hopefully save myself some nasty e-mails.

It took me a week to draw the 4th comic (well, 3rd if you don't include the title page), because I had the 3rd comic finished and would just keep opening it in awe of the fact it came out so much better than anything I did with JBS.
Now that I have a couple month's experience, it looks like dog nuts, but at the time it was awesome!

Well, I got some practice using the pen tool with the few things I did in PhotoShop with JBS. I used a tutorial on www.baka-neko.com to learn how to use it, and after doing a few comics, I'm getting better/quicker with it. Trust me, it's probably alot faster to use a tablet, but I can't be bothered to learn how to use it - the few times I tried it looked like I was having a seizure. So for me, it's what I'm comfortable with. But I doubt it will make for an entertaining ustream. And honestly, it's not THAT big of a jump for me. Ok, that's a lie. The effort isn't much bigger, and if anything it's easier in PhotoShop (it took SO LONG to shade May's hair in JBS that I actually gave up in a few and either paint bucketed it or took a sample and copy/pasted). I still draw out the entire comic in pencil first (though it's not 100% done), and use the pen tool over it after I scan it. So while you guys only see the finished, PhotoShop product, I still get the experience. It just costs less money in mechanical pencils and pens.

My favorite football team are the Buffalo Bills, which I alluded to in the blurb of comic #3. Because of that, I am biased towards all Buffalo-area teams. Sabres and the Bulls (NCAA). This is also why JBS took place in Buffalo.
The Lightning are my 2nd-favorite hockey team behind the Sabres, because they were a huge underdog (though they won the Cup in 2004, right after I started the comic).
As for other sports, I'm a Rays fan, because living in Massachusetts everyone is either Yankees or Red Sox, and I don't care for baseball, so I wanted to tick them off and root for another division rival, and the Devil Rays (at the time) were terrible.
And though I live in Springfield, MA (home of the basketball HOF), I can't stand basketball, though I will usually root for he Nuggets or Hawks because I like their jerseys.
But all in all, I'm a HUGE NFL fan. So I bleed Buffalo blue, no matter how ugly I think those jerseys are. And back in middle school I was a Packers (read: Favre) fan, but still rooted for the Bills (those were the Flutie years).
