.. the 'Spaze Caze' comic has been up for awhile now..however i'd not announced it just cuz i wanted to make sure he was working as well as he could ..well i think now we're ready..



.."during one of the great wars of the 'tanks vs. the invaders' (Commencing scince 1978 A.D.) .. a lone ship drops off a solitary invader well beyond Roswell and from any governments'and medias' knowledge of such supposed conspiracies..the schizophrenic alien known only as the 'Spaze Caze' ..is abandoned amoungst the inhabitants of earth to fend for himself at his own devices. If left behind for his own protection or for something far more insidious, nothing is clear...for even Spaze does not know his true origins. One thing is clear..it's very difficult to adjust to the planet known as Earth. Despite his disposition in his new home..Spaze Caze tries to adjust. As if it wasn't hard enough being a schizo in the galaxy.. inner space and outter space,is there room on Earth for the 'Spaze Caze' ?? Interstellar schizophrenia.. --"



.. the invasion starts here !!..


.. i will try to make a comic as often as i can. Due to time constraints and demand on the web,Mikey's TMNT, and Real life ..i will announce new comics on !!terrible2z and on Mikey's TMNT as new episodes are produced.. ENJOY !! any feedback is welcome !!

Two Years... and 100 strips later...

When I started Dribble for Kids, or D4K for short, I never expected us to surpass comic number 50, let alone reach 100. I guess I didn't see my art being that good to continue, but, I had fun doing it. And with that fun, and thanks to the suggestion of my best friend Nate, (known to some of you D4K-readers as Kidsplinter...) I took some free-time and drew a comic, which soon evolved (and when I mean soon, I mean as in, very slowly...) into the basic three or "basic trio" of characters as you know them today. Nick, the loveable manchild (is there any better way to really discribe him?), Nate, the straight guy to Nick's antics, and the woman of the trio, Ashley. If you asked me back then, in the first ten strips or so, my "claim to fame" for D4K was the Road Rage joke, and the fact that the only big storyline is Nick likes Ashley. Soon, more as gags and comments on my friend, Drew's message boards and website, Drew was then added into the mix, adding a sarcastic brand of humor, that really snowballed what D4K soon became. The final "straw that broke the camel's back" in terms of the evolution of D4K, was a character I created in 6th or 7th grade, named Charlie the Dog. A rip of Mother Goose & Grimm's "Grimmy", Charlie was a character I debated adding in, but... I tried it out. And from there... the comic began to take form.

No longer was Nick just the loveable manchild. He was actually a pretty smart guy when he applied himself. Nate wasn't just the straight man anymore. His cynical views became very obvious, and despite being more of a pessimistic person, he was a very good and loyal friend. Ashley still hovered back and forth, trying to qualm whatever beef Nate had with Nick over lord knows what. Drew for some reason couldn't take the sweater off, Nate found he had a brother, Jimmy, who he tries to get fired but only gives himself the pink slip in the process, and I could go on and on. Dribble For Kids has grown tremendously, so much, that there are characters I didn't even mention that have played huge parts. So where does that leave us today? Two Years... and 100 Comic Strips Later... and yet...

Here we are.

While I know the 100th comic isn't really a comic per se, I loved the image too much to discard it as a voting image. And it really shows the direct progress of D4K over the last two years and 100 strips. I've had this under my belt for WAY too long(two months or so?), and yet, I'm still giddy about this image. When I drew it, I realized that while drawing Penny, Jimmy, and anyone else is.... nice I suppose, I also knew that, the characters that had shaped D4K during this process upto comic 100 was really the five principle characters, Nick, Nate, Drew, Ashley & Charlie.

And so... with the 100th comic strip, comes a bit of odd news. Usually when you hit a milestone (again, this depends on what you may yourself, refer, to as a milestone) you keep going. Me on the other hand, as I have mentioned before, I am taking a sebactical from Dribble For Kids for a few weeks or so. While really I am not completely taking time off, (I am actually using the time to get 3 pages ahead of everything, that way I am a page or so ahead every week) I will be posting some cool voting image stuff, that way you can really scope out SOMETHING for visiting the site. Which leads me to the new voting image! From the vaults of D4K, I thought I'd throw out a groovy image I did for Matt & Justin over at www.rwwr.com or, Reasons Why We Rule for those who don't know the title. ;-) If you check out the website and it's design, you might "get" the first panel's joke or so. But I digress. Check it out by voting at BuzzComix.net!!

But wait, what about the Prolouge Pages 1 and 3? Well, have no fret. You can see the the 3 pages via the links below, which will be up for a bit until page 1 of issue 3 begins, as it leads up to The Lord of the Sweaters!

I mentioned on the update for comic 99, I would do a contest, well, I decided that here on out, every paycheck I get, 25 bucks is going to a "contest" fund, which will procure DVDs, posters and other cool stuff, some D4K swag, others cool cartoon shows like Futurama, Simpsons, or Samauri Jack, etc, just so I can give them away!! Trust me, the grande prize pack will kick so much ass, you'll even be surprised. But no frets to the runner ups cos the prize packs for you guys will rock too!! ;-)

With everything that had to be said, said... I now leave you all with some parting words till 3 weeks or so. To my un-official writing staff who, while help me shape the comic strip, yet are never really in the same room together, Nate, Jimmy, and to Drew, Ashley and anyone else... thanks for being my muses and being good and dear friends, and supporting the comic, same goes to my mom and dad who also, while at times not verbally admit they read the comic, continue to let me use their pc and garble it's memory up with my comic strips. For Mikey, putting up with my comic when it at times and for a long period didn't have ANYTHING to do with the TMNT yet, he still let me host the updates on your site.... To all you reading this right now... I thank you as well. I wouldn't be anywhere without anyone reading it, supporting it, (even hating it) and commenting on it.

And last but not least... A big thank you to Nick, Nate, Ashley, Drew, Charlie and the rest of the D4K gang... thanks for being interesting enough in my mind to keep this comic going!! Until issue 3 and the Lord of the Sweaters gets a'goin....... ENJOY!

..you spin me right 'round,baby right round..like a ninja,baby..
TMNT Mini-DVDs eps are headin' to Targets and 7-11 stores all around..
.. so sez TV Shows on DVD..!!

June 15 sees the release of 3" Mini-DVD Singles that are priced at $3.99 each, and are going to be sold at Target and 7-11 chain stores among others, according to a recent print issue of Video Business magazine. Funimation will release a first wave of 4 singles, each carrying an episode from one of the following: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), Sonic X, DragonBall GT, or Yu-Gi-Oh! A second wave of four releases is reported to be coming next quarter, in the Fall.

None of the content will be unique: the pictured disc up there shows that the episode included is "Tales of Leo," an episode that can already be found on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Volume 6: Shredder Strikes Back. The other discs are similar, so if you already own the full-size edition, don't knock yourself out trying to track these down.


.. but still it's a neat little collectable if ya wanna shell near 4 bucks for the silly disc..
..but yeh.. odds are if you already have the big TMNT volumes.. don't sweat about it.. and if ya do sweat.. i recommend a 'Brain Freeze' from those ever so tastey 7-11 Slurpees !!

Being that I'm doing something on Drunk Duck with a contest in a way, it's made me realize I should do a contest now. So I'm gonna spend an extra wad of cash, and create the Dribble For Kids Prize Pack. Now, I'm not sure when I plan to... "unleash the contest" and list the prizes off, but when I do, it will be cool. I'll throw some DVDs of some cartoons in there, and some rad D4K stuff. With that said...

For those confused... about what he was dreaming about... go ahead, and click on "VOTE", with the BuzzComix logo on it, and you will see page 3 of 3 of the "Prolouge Pages". IF you'd like to see Prolouge Page 2 of 3, go ahead and go back to the archives and click on comic 88. Page 1 is lost forever to you out there, but no fret. I will restore the image online when comic strip 100 comes up, so you can get the full effects of the pages.

Now, onto the comic. As you can tell, this leaves us all with an interesting twist in the overall relationship between Nick & Penny. If you'd like to really to guess how they ended up having... um... you know, look closely. I gave you one... simple hint. It's not... very.. upfront or straight forward, but... the last few strips may help further add to the hint of how it happened. Till next week....

Enjoy!

"Sunrise... Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset. Swiftly, fly the years...

That statement means a lot to me right now, so much that, despite my dislike for Fiddler on the Roof, the song's statement rings true almost, too very much to NOT name the comic the title of the song of the same name.

As this being 1 more comic comic 100, plus a bonus page, as in Prolouge Page Number 3, When it came time to write the last few comics, This one was always in my mind. In a way, it is the epitome of my growth as an artist and as a guy who does the comic strip. And it's more for that for the characters. In 2 years, close to 100 strips, we've-

Well, I'm getting a head of myself. That's the Comic Strip 100 speech.

Anyway, I fought heavily for this to be comic strip 99, but with the storyline and what not... it was not to be. So... Comic 98 will always have a place in my heart. Last week's comic was cool to me in an artistic way, and this one is no exception....

With that said, I leave you all until next week. Enjoy!

Last night, another large step for a big project I've been working on has taken place. For those who might of heard me drop it, briefly, but I am planning on releasing a Data CD, called the Dribble for Kids Digital Collection. Well, me and Nate, a.k.a. Kidsplinter, had a grande old time recording some audio commentaries for some of the comic strips, which will be featured within the "Digital Collection."

Now, the nice thing is, here is what the Digital Collection Disc One has to offer:
- A Video Introduction from the creator
- The First 50 Comic Strips
- Flash animation on the main menu of the featured character(s) which in this case, Disc One features Nick & Charlie
- Commentaries on some of the comic strips
- Hear the voices of the D4K Gang, such as Nick, Nate, Drew & Ashley!
- A special documentary, made only for the Digital Collection, called "Behind the Dribble"
- Hidden Easter Eggs such as: Audio Outtakes for the voice-overs, the original first drawn comic, sketches, and much more....

And this is something I've been secretly working on for say, about 3 months now. I got the basic code for the menus and what have you done, and we are approaching getting the rest of the code and basic special features/eggs completed or scanned in, etc, and then after that it's just a matter of time before we get this puppy up and ready to go! Now, you may be going... "wait. The first 50 comic strips??" Yes, the first 50. The first 50 comic strips will still be available on-line, thru this site, on drunk duck, but it won't have the cool bonus features and such. The price for the disc at this point is still unknown, but I'm thinking maybe 8 to 10 dollars. We'll see. In a perfect world, it'll only be 5 bucks. ;-)

With that out of the way, now onto today's comic update. When most people read the comic and go through the archives, the first thing usually is, "What happened to Ashley?" Well, I took her out of the comic strip. It was a planned move, but not too well planned. Most readers were left scratching their head and secretly going "I sorta liked her in the comic. She's not coming back tho? Bummer." And I never properly showed the effect her leaving had on Nick.

On the race to get all these story points out and in by comic 100, it's been very easy to jump the gun even more. Example: The introduction of Shepingsly and Big Guy Behind the Chair in the mid-80's. When I got everything I wanted to do, out by comic 95, I had a few comics to do what EVER I wanted until comic 98 or so. That's 2 or 3 good comics. So, I decided to give a joke, and then hit you with today's comic update, which is a serious nod and a rememberance of the character Ashley. So now, all loose ends are tied, and the setting for Lord of the Sweaters is now complete. Sorta. :-)

At any rate, enjoy today's comic, as it is one of my favorite comics I've drawn, inked. I have 5 fave D4K Comics, and this is definately in the top 5. Enjoy, and have a good weekend.

Apparently, the webhost ran into some kind of problem... All of the websites located on the same server as mikeystmnt.com had their databases disconnected somehow... The support tech I spoke with assured me that all data should be in tact, but if something is missing please repost if you can... I know there were several people on the forums when it went down (I was about to log off, myself).

At any rate, as of 2:30 am, the forums should be fully operational once again.
Thanks for your patience.

Monday, May 24, 2004

I have no idea what's going on, but all of a sudden, the server couldn't connect to the database for the forums. This just happened right now. So I'll be checking the server and the webhost for answers.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
Ah, a date with Tad Hamilton. What a decent movie. Again, I had a few gripes with it, such as the guy that supposed to get with Kate Bosworth, the kid from that 70's show, yeah, well he is more like a rarely seen/rarely felt prescense in the film, almost like a supporting character. It gets to the point where Tad Hamilton is more of the lead hero only cos we get more personal character development there.

But I digress. Besides the fact that I bought the movie for 14.95, also note that Nick's relationship with Penny isn't all roses and sunshine rays. Why would he lie to her about something like that? Maybe next update, we'll find out.

Enjoy!

I always feel if I am going too far, or if it may offend, I need to explain myself. So thus, the explination begins....

This is an extremly touchy subject for me to post on any site, but if you are easily offended, I apologize immediately. One of the things I do is look thru my archives and go, pull out certain characters that made 1 time appearances and see if I can re-use them. The character that is now named Denny was never meant to return. Specially after getting "banned" or discussed about in some circles, and even threatened to be sued, it was a character used back in the day when I was trying to find my voice. The recently deceased "Mall Monkeys" used offensive humor to get votes and readership, I was trying to do the same. But, I have curved my humor and vulgarities to a Simpsons/Futurama-like tone, and so that character and my offensive turns would remain dead.

But... under certain circumstances, and some very rude statements, I decided to bring back "Denny" as he is now called, with the ego and personality of the rude person. Look what the talentless hack is doing now, no? Anyway, sorry if it offends anyone, as I'm not trying to add fuel to a fire, let alone START a fire. That and... Denny will play an important subplot in the future of the Lord of the Sweaters Storyline.

Thanks for checking the comic out, remember that the new TMNT disc is out and Have a good weekend.

..cool news from Kazzy.

..so when ya hear the distant chimein' ..hootie-tootie tunes comin' from the dumpy Ice Cream Truck.. be sure to head out side n' make a run for the Ice Cream man has your Fave,fruity TMNTs with bubble gum eyes!!

-- 'Splint' at T-drome sez:: "..figured this was big enough news, that it needed to be posted so that everyone could see it. According to an E-Mail exchange that Drome member 'Anarchistguy' had with Dan Berger from the Official TMNT Website, the series is on hiatus until fall. Repeats will air until the unofficial 'Season 3' starts this September.

Part 2 of 'The Big Brawl' will air on on Saturday, September 11th. It still remains a Season 2 episode, but is likely being rolled into Season 3 as they felt that the cliffhanger ending of 'The Big Brawl' pt 1 worked better then what was planned for the final episode of the arc. Pt. 3 and Pt. 4 will air on Sept. 18th, and 25th.

And after that, the official Season 3 will likely begin. In my honest opinion, it's a real shame that they didn't just break after 'Rogue in the House' pt. 2. I can understand the need to end on a cliffhanger, I just wish that they had used the End of Season 2 Cliffhanger. Instead of stopping midway into a multi-part storyarc. .."
