Monkey Squad One #1. Pages 10 & 11.

Logan getting robo-stolled in the face is one of my favorite panels of all time.

I'm gonna be honest with y'all and tell you that the President's Bunker was originally the White House. Not that I'm not familiar with the White House, I was especially bad at drawing buildings back then and I didn't have a computer with the luxury of search engines for photo references. So in my winging it, that was what I came up with. I ended up calling it the Bunker becuse it looked nothing at all like the White House. But, seriously? What kinda bunker has fucking windows all over the place and isn't underground or anything?

So, instead of talking about how shitty old Monkey Squad One is, I'm gonna talk about how awesome Monkey Squad One #8 is:

Monkey Squad One #1. Pages 8 & 9.

When superstar rapper Trik Erl Dub read page 8 for the first time he told me he didn't understand why Hell-Kitty apologized to Kojiro after she hit him with ninja stars. I figured that Hell-Kitty had respect for Kojiro as a fellow warrior and wanted him to know their fight wasn't personal. Like samurai and bushido and shit. But there's no reason the reader should know about their warrior's code. Or whatever. So, sorry everybody.

Logan fucking up some Destrobots is pretty cool.

In present day Monkey Squad One news: Issue 8 will be out on Wednesday, Nov. 23rd. I always feel like such a tool when I say stuff like "out" or whatever when it comes to describing when the next issue will be complete. It's not like it's coming back from the printers. When I'm done stapling. That's when the comic is "out".

Monkey Squad One #1. Pages 6 & 7.

These pages mark the first appearance of the Agents of S.I.S., played by my nieces Amanda, Olivia and Madelyn. Did we talk about how the characters in the comic are based on my nephews, nieces, friends and family? That's a thing. So, notice how the S.I.S. agent's costumes are all boxes with suspenders? That's because I was wicked scared to draw the Terrible Teenager's boobs. When I did this issue back in 2009, my niece Amanda was 16 or 17 and the thought of drawing her in a spandex-type super-villain outfit made me really uncomfortable. So, to avoid the whole issue I just gave the girls suspender-boxes. I'm pretty sure I avoided boobs of all varieties until issue 5.

Next week we'll formally meet Hell-Kitty and Bad-Girl and we'll see Logan kick some ass.

Thanks for reading!

Monkey Squad One #1. Pages 4 & 5.

The original draft of the first issue had Monkey Squad One fighting Dr. Doom and Lex Luthor on the moon (how bad-ass would that shit be?). But I realized there was a villain more sinister, more diabolical (than a powder-blue Nissan Stanza) than them all... my real-life best friend Joe Metro. Unlike most other characters in MS1, Joe actually looks like his comic-counterpart. All I had to do was put the mother-fucker in a lab coat and he looked liked the super-villain he was born to be. Page 5 also has the first appearance of the Death Cannon.  Speaking of which, U.N.C.L.E. Doug uses the Death Cannon to re-kill zombies in the upcoming Monkey Squad One #8! It's as awesome as it sounds. If you don't want to e-mail me for a free copy, you can wait around here until 2013 when I reprint it on this blog. That is if the dumb-ass internet is even around in 2013 and we're not all in Matrix snot-cocoons. Thanks for reading.
