@$$hole!: Scheming

June 30th, 2010 | by Trevor
Posted In: web comics

While I’m away at conventions (or even sometimes at work), I wonder what goes through the mind of my cat. Sure it’s probably worse when I leave for a weekend to attend a con (like I did this previous weekend), because when I get home she becomes noticeably more cuddly.

For a while, anyway. Then she goes back to blowing me off and doing her own thing.

Waffles, I know my body pillow (which she’s turned into her own personal bed) is very comfortable, but wouldn’t you also be comfortable up on the couch draping over my lap? I could pet you…. :)

But no, she goes and does her own kitty things.

My claim to fame is that I’ve taught her how to play fetch. Sort of. She brings me her favorite toy (currently a pink plush mouse toy) and drops it near me, and then looks away. It’s her way of saying, “Oh, how did that get there? I could play with you, if you wanted to throw it…but we don’t have to.”

But as soon as I pick the thing up, she’s ready to chase it.

My cat’s quite the goof. But she’s also quite lovable.

When she’s not scheming to destroy me, of course. ;)

@$$hole!: Absent Minding

June 23rd, 2010 | by Trevor
Posted In: web comics

So I wanted to somehow make a comic about the new camera that I got. But I didn’t have a working camera to take pictures of myself…holding my new camera. Possibly making love to it. Possibly the TV gets jealous and ticked off. See, there’s like a story arc here I could make.

Just need another camera, and a person to take the pictures.

I tried to get some pictures taken this weekend, and play with the camera a bit. But Waffles makes for poor subject matter, since she moves all the time. However, I’ll be at Cyphan this weekend out in Wheeling, and the new camera will be with me. If you stop by the show, you may get the chance to appear in the comic, if you’d like.

@$$hole!: The Dreamer

June 18th, 2010 | by Trevor
Posted In: web comics

This was a guest strip that I did for my good friend Lora Innes, who does a kick-ass comic called The Dreamer for IDW (and her website, of course).

The comic is great, and the first 6 issues are collected in a trade paperback (which I reviewed some time ago). I highly recommend picking it up at your local comic book shop.

Best Buy hasn’t received the camera that I ordered yet (even though they said it would be in Tuesday night), so I wasn’t able to update with new content today. However, they now tell me it’ll be in tonight, so I plan to spend the weekend taking pictures…and writing a super-secret project.

Alright, it’s not so super-secret. It’s more Albert the Alien. Not sure what Albert is all about? Well, it’s a short story that I did for the Reading with Pictures anthology, which will be out in August. I’ll be posting some stuff about it next week, once I get my beat sheets and plot outline done this weekend.

Ambitious, I know. Especially since I just bought God of War 3 for my PS3. Don’t distract me, Kratos. I’m creating!

@$$hole!: Closing Time 3

June 16th, 2010 | by Trevor
Posted In: web comics

Many readers are probably going to be a little ticked at me for the end of this story arc, but it’s a direction that I’ve wanted to go for a while now.

I’ve been teasing about things in the works for a long time now, and answers are coming. Fun stuff in the works. I can say that I just bought my first “professional” camera. My new camera

Of course, the thing cost more than my new laptop, but that’s besides the point. I’ve needed a new camera for over a year, ever since my old one stopped working after NYCC last year. Something at security caused the yellow circuit to stop working, so the pictures all look purple. I’ve been dependent on other people’s pictures for the photo comics – which is never a fun time.

Now I can go after some other photo projects that I’ve wanted to work on for a while now. Step 1 is getting the camera, step 2 is getting the story together.

This is going to be the year of comics for me. More news to come, so keep coming back for more!

@$$hole!: Closing Time 2

June 11th, 2010 | by Trevor
Posted In: web comics

Susie and Anthony, two people who absolutely hate each other but are forced to work together – and now close together. Anthony has a party after they finish closing, so you’d think that he’d have an incentive to get out of there early. But something keeps him there. Perhaps a false sense of obligation, perhaps a false sense of authority. Who can say what goes through that guy’s head.

Right now, it’s clearly the sauce. And I don’t blame him. I also enjoy a good stiff drink.

This weekend I’m attending a post-ACEN party out by O’Hare at a forest preserve. The show was fantastic, and part of that was the people who put it on – so I’m going to hang out with them again! It’s going to be awesome! Assuming, of course, that the weather stays nice. Pictures will hopefully follow, and maybe even a comic from it.

@$$hole!: Closing Time 1

The closing time mini story arc starring Susie and Anthony. I’ve had a plan for Susie’s adventures as a barista, and this story arc is only the beginning.

I’m attending a lot of conventions this year, getting the word out about @$$hole! and my other projects in the pipeline. It’s an incredibly exciting time for me. It also makes getting the blogs out a little tricky, and there will be some changes for this site in the coming months. Good changes, I think.

@$$hole!: Insecurities

June 4th, 2010 | by Trevor
Posted In: web comics

Being in the dating pool again, there are a lot of insecurities – especially since I hadn’t had the time to work out at all since last year. While these are legitimate fears, they’re hardly to the extreme that you take them in satire like this.

That said, I’ve started scouting for a gym in my neighborhood. Which would be much easier to find if I were a woman. Because there’s like 4 women-only gyms within walking distance of my place. And maybe 2 that allow men.

I don’t think a wig will get me in, either, but that could be a fun basis for a comic….

###

In other news, remember that awesome convention I went to a month back called ACEN? Well, I attended opening ceremonies to some 1,000 fantastic people, but only had the picture to go with it. Well, doing a quick google search of myself, I found someone who was cool enough to take video of my quick little speech.

It really was a fantastic weekend, and I’m already looking forward to the next show: Cyphan, June 25-27. It’s going to be another rocking time, and I hope you all come out to say hi.
