COD Killer

This week's cartoon is another example of one of those ideas I'm not %100 sure anyone will find funny but I did it anyway so screw it. But you know what? That was one of the liberating things about doing this blog when I first started, the fact I can create what cartoon I want and whatever I find funny. It's always a bonus when everyone else loves them of course, I won't deny that, I love it. But I've often had this worry before and some of those ones I've thought no one would like have ended up being some of my more popular cartoons. Plus at least now I've got another reason to justify all those hours I burned playing Black Ops 2. This is also me venting frustration that as a 'mature' gamer I often get my ass handed to me by punk kids. Gamers all love to make fun of the fact that most of the people who are really freakin' good and play Call of Duty games a lot, for some reason do tend to be quite young. Knowing that, was also another reason I came up with this idea.

Oh and sorry if I stole your screenshot of Black Ops 2 whoever you are, I pretty much just used Google image search and found a screenshot I liked and plonked it in there. Mind you, good luck actually still being able to identifying it though.

On a plus, my pageviews are steadily on the increase and getting nice and healthy! So big cheers to everyone who reads this blog, you're all awesome! Keep it up and please help me spread the word so I can get even more!

Alrighty, gotta go, see you soon!

Thumb Resting

So of late I seem to finally getting into a kind of groove when it comes to cartoon ideas that relate to what I've been doing that week, which is nice. Can you see where this is going? Normally I'm a FPS (First Person Shooter, for all you non-geeks) player on my PC but my good mate Ben has been hassling me to play the new Call of Duty on my Xbox with him. In the end he just bought me the game for my birthday and now I'm crazy hooked on it....damn it. Which leads me to my story, so Ben and I with some mates were planning on a big session one night last week. That day I was out shopping and I was using my phone for something and, which being a touch screen phone, I was using my thumb which was getting sore and I seriously thought for a second "Maybe I should stop using my phone to rest my thumb for tonight". And that was it pretty much, I then thought up this idea, done.

Anyway, that's all for me this week, I'm really tired as I was up most of last night (I'm actually typing this up Sunday night) with a sick child, so I'm going to be.

See ya!

Cow Tipping

Hello! So as I type this it's about 10:30 Sunday night and after being woken up this morning at about 5:45 or so by my 2 boys, I'm pretty tired. Just finished off this cartoon, so I think I'll keep this one brief so I can go to bed....

Brainstorming the other night and found a note that simply said "Cow Tipping" and thought I'd give it a go. Now my first thought was cow tipping at a restaurant or something, but I thought that's probably been done before and after a quick Google search I found that was the case. Quite a lot of other cartoonists had done something similar, which was pretty much about cows tipping or not tipping. So I thought I'd look at it from another angle and think of some other types of  "Tips" and being the gamer that I am, I very quickly came to the good old game 'tips'. And you know what else? I freakin' hate these guys who 'back seat game' on you and tell you what to do while you're playing. Especially you know what you're doing, ahhh!

Anyway I'm going to bed, good night....
