“WHO SET OUT TO LEARN”
King Ferd is SUCH a downer, gahhhh.
:throws maps on the floor:
“and inexpensively make your home unattractive”
If you’re planning on making your home unattractive, Horse recommends opening several (or all) windows for ventilation.
My ORIGINAL idea involved an interior decorator walking around pointing at things and saying “Poop. More poop here. Make this poop,” etc etc. And installing a toilet made OUT OF poop.
One day…one day I’ll get to draw such a toilet.
“Your abs”
A) Yo bro, what’s up?
B) Not much, just workin’ my babs.
A) Cool bro, bab it up.
B) Hells yeah, babbin’ ain’t easy.
:fistbump:
:scene:
“YOU LIKE TO PAY?”
This comic is RISQUE! Right? There’s a bra in it, I think.
That thing she’s holding in the third panel, right?
hey where are you going
“Expert s opinion on how to prevent your children from unexpected dog”
After the initial shock of finding his son transformed into a dog, Henry was actually pretty cool with it.
“Brutal Attorney”
I drew the first strip months ago, but always held onto it — knowing deep down that Horse might have meant a different sort of “brutal.” I mean, the first attorney was a dick and all but the second attorney doesn’t mess around. Except literally in visceral messes.
Also: Bow-ties are cool.
“sleep is a recipe”
I PROMISE there are some decidedly less-morbid strips coming up, you guys.
Eesh!
“Bird”
I’m curious as to how many people had the same reaction to this comic as those birds did.
OH, another Gawker article ran featuring the guy that created @horse_ebooks. He’s pretty proud of how well Horse has been received (for a spambot). Enough so that his site boasts “As seen on The New York Times and Gawker blogs,” but links to the NYT post about my comics. LULZ.
“The plan was to get to the Danube River at night, and fully dressed swim across to Yugoslavia, after that, cross the border between”
Anything is possible these days (with magic)!
I put up a little poll on twitter and the horse_eComics facebook, asking:
“If you suddenly found yourself astride a flying unicorn,
what would you exclaim?”
Here are some of the replies:
Holy Shit, Anne McCaffrey was right!
To the comic book store!
Dreams DO come true!
HI HO SILVER BLOOD
KOWABUNGHOLE
Holy flying unicorn balls
Mathematical!
Upon my Honor!
Tiger Butts!
(Haha, I see that someone is an Adventure Time fan.)
“FIRE SKY BAR CHUCKLE SKY BUNNY BAR SKY CHARMER SKY DIAMOND DOLL SKY SKY SKY SKY SKY SKY SKY SKY SKY SKY SKY”
I don’t even
“tree netting, tree shading, gopher”
I always knew they were up to no good.
But then again, birds ARE delicious.
NOTE: Yes, I KNOW that all the cool kids are watching Avengers right now but I’ll post a comic anyways. <3
In preparation for Free Comic Book Day (2012), I’ve assembled all original horse_eComics artwork for sale! I was asked to take part in a local comic book signing / panel, so that should be fun.
Q: “Hey, what’s it like to draw comics based off of a spambot’s tweets?”
A: “HORSE IS REAL, SILENCE.”
Though I don’t have a book out yet, I’ll be handing out random prints of strips to people. And I’ll have these originals for display/sale.
Also, I’ll be making it out to SDCC in July, hopefully with horse_eComics SHIRTS in tow.
DETAILS:
The FCBD signing in Lafayette is at And Books Too, on Johnston St. from 11am-2pm.
The comics panel is across town at the South Regional Library past the mall on Johnston St. from 3pm until we bring the house down.
There will be an impromptu Drink & Draw get together afterwards, probably at Pete’s Burgers but maybe at Johnston Street Java. Just to hang out and draw. All are welcome!
