It's not the thought that counts...

Sketchy Girl

Here is a cartoon I once drew in a birthday card for a girl I liked ages ago (champas socialist will know who since at the time I wouldn't shutup about her). Looking at it now it is a real wonder she never went out with me.....it probably had something to do with the poem on the inside of the card...a story for another time. The character sketchy girl is LOOSELY based on the aforementioned girl who was quite the raver (BTW sketchy is slang for how you feel after a "big night out" if you get my drift). The last panel was on the inside of the card. Read the comic down then across.







Incidently various Sketchy Girl merchandice (Clothing, mugs, journals, mousepads AND a version of this comic on a card (comes in packs of six)) and also a Keeping It Surreal Baseball Jersey can be purchased at my online shop at:

Holy crap, I've sold out to the man! Don't worry back to my usual wackiness after I get a heap of uni work out of the way.

Hehe...cute...I'm going to look at your stuff at cafepress, too. Glad to see you posting again...and if the male character in the card is designed to resemble you...well, then there's quite a good chance that you're a complete hottie...hahahaha

Thanks Texas, "cute" from you seems to have as many meanings as Aloha, on this occasion I chose to take it as a complement (on the other hand Slinky still hasn't recovered from your last cute comment, but he's a whiny little dick). Well the male character does resemble me a bit (I'm slightly more 3 dimensional and way less gay looking)...I'm way hotter of course...actually the jury is still out on that, I've got nothing to back that up except wishful thinking
Here's a pic for comparson:

It would be pretty cool if someone actually bought something from my store, I wasn't really expecting to earn much from it (and haven't as yet) but I thought there might be some interest. I've been thinking of setting up a T-shirt business for a while so I though cafepress was a good way of feeling out the market. I'd like to have more choice over the designs (and prices) than cafepress gives me.

Don't get too excited about me posting, as I said I have a heap of uni stuff to do, I was just procrastinating by posting this.

P.S. If you do decide to buy a top post us a pic, I wanna see what they look like on a real person.

Aw...the pictures won't show up for me. I'm sure it would be funny, though.

I think you growed up - you look much older than I remember

Oh wait...it's fixed. Heh. Certainly is a wonder she didn't say yes.

You're just lucky you don't look like the guy in the drawing...

No sketchy girl flags at your store?

Well that was the general idea behind growing the goatee, however there was a girl who thought I was only 17 at the start of last year and that was with the goatee. Though I'd like to think I actually do look older I think it's mostly the photo.

Oh wait...it's fixed. Heh.

Geocities went down for a bit.

Yeah it's a total bloody mystery isn't it

Yeah, he has a hint of Michael Jackson before he turned white, it's a bit disturbing.

No. no flags, I could do posters, hell I can even do G-strings, but not flags. It's hard to tell if your being serious.

Toblerone: Hehe...yeah, it was a good cute...hmmm...as in "I liked that, it made me chuckle" kinda cute.

I haven't placed my order yet, but I'll keep you posted when I do, and I'll be sure to post a pic when the shirt comes in. I think selling the t-shirts and goodies is a brilliant idea.

And wow...you are a hottie! You have an awesome smile (oh, and I agree...less gay looking, hehe).

Thanks, as long as it isn't a "you have a very small penis" sort of cute!

No pressure Texas, I won't considered it an insult if you don't buy anything...[irony]of course if you don't my family will starve to death and it will be all your fault [/irony]


And wow...you are a hottie! You have an awesome smile (oh, and I agree...less gay looking, hehe).


Ah shucks, I'm blushing like mad here, you've made my day. I very rarely get complimented on my looks except from people who are contractually obligated to do so. I'm sure I've said so before but you're pretty hot yourself, but I suppose Adrian tells you that all the time

Hope Orian is recovering well.

Have a nice year.

Now this made me laugh... Good one, Tobelerone. I am surprised the girl didn't go for you too. I thought making her a card for her birthday would be a great way to... erm... stoke the fires, so to speak.

I will say this, I'm just not attracted to men with beards, especially men that can grow better ones than me

Cheers,

Maso

If only her mind had worked that way.

Ha ha ha, well last time I check you weren't attracted to men full stop. Actually oddly enough she did say she didn't go for men with beards and the first time she saw me with the beard (I'd known her for 2 years without one) was on the night I gave her the card. I think by that time I'd pretty much given up on her anyway having already unsuccessfully asked her out twice.

Heh, I was joking about the flag. Come to think of it, though, why wouldn't I want to proudly display Sketchy Girl artwork on a flag post for all the world to see?

Thanks, seriously I think I'm going to use you and Texas as a reference!

My wife, prior to going out with me, was never attracted to men with facial fuzz of any sort. She didn't say she didn't like it, but she wouldn't say she did. When we started going out and up until last August, I had quite a healthy goatee. Last August, I shaved for the first time in 10 years. She couldn't stop looking at me and doing the whole double-take thing. She says shes still not sure whether she likes me 'nude' or not.

Well at least she's honest, I guess it must be extra satifying to get a compliment from her.
EDIT: changed complement to compliment to keep the pedant below happy.

"and I agree...less gay looking, hehe)."

That's just the photo I assure you.

"I am surprised the girl didn't go for you too. "

Of course this could have something to do with Toblerone's taste for drugged up sluts. Alright, well just that girl but anyway.

"complement from her."

That's compliment with an I. Please don't undo all the literacy work I will be doing when I send them onto you, you ingoramus science boffin.

Good photo btw. You're not normally nearly that good looking. Nah kidding. The goatee really works well. Oh and I like the cartoon.

I don't even know where to start....I'd put him in his place so quickly if he let me post a pick of him! (just teasing mate).

You'd think that would make them more receptive....oh wait I'm thinking of Rohypnol not Ecstacy, NOT that I would know anything about that....*shifty eyes*

Thanks, nice to see you can do both backhand and forehand compliments.

Toblerone,

"plug" away...You've written far too many insightful posts to let us rag on you for a shameless plug!

Cool, thanks a lot. Wow, I actually sold a T-shirt. I hope it is to your liking, I 've never seen the physical product so give me feeback even if it's negative (and remember the 30 day money back guarantee...I've always wanted to say that...err, actually not really).

Hehe...I hope that makes you very happy...I'm really excited about getting it. It should only be about a week (although since I'm in Hawaii, maybe a tiny bit longer).

Hahahahahaa...well, I'm not likely to give negative feedback, even if it sucks...I'll pretend like it's great...but I'm sure it will be. I mean, it's a t-shirt...what can go wrong with a t-shirt? hehe...

I just think it's a really cool idea...to sell your designs/ideas like that...I hope that other JUs will order some stuff too.
