@$$hole!: Carl’s Birthday 20

May 28th, 2010 | by Trevor
Posted In: conventions, web comics

The Carl’s Birthday storyline wraps up today, and so I’ll have to go back to creating brand new content starting next week. I was able to get a few pages done, so hopefully it’s enough of a buffer to last me for a while before the next convention.

Speaking of my next convention, I’ll be a guest of honor at Cyphan out in Wheeling, Il (where my book was printed)! Cyphan is a brand new sci-fi show, and it’s going to have some special guests from some semi-popular sci-fi shows (cough cough Firefly cough cough Battlestar Galactica cough cough).

The guy who’s running the show just linked me to the TV spot that he produced, which will run in Chicago promoting the show during StarGate episodes on SyFy.

Cyphan takes place June 25-27 at the Westin Chicago North Shore Wheeling, IL. Be sure to check out the website and order tickets. I’ll be hosting a panel about making webcomics Friday, and possibly again Sunday.

Hope to see you there.

@$$hole!: Carl’s Birthday 19

May 26th, 2010 | by Trevor
Posted In: web comics

This story is finally gearing down (and with a less disappointing ending than LOST), with Carl’s struggle against the evil Michael Eisner culminating in action and adventure.

After this arc is done we’ll go back to regular updates with my modern artwork. I’ve spent this time mostly prepping for conventions, but I was able to work on the buffer a bit so that’s good.

I hope you’ve been enjoying this flashback story (meaning that I made this almost 7 years ago now), and I look forward to sharing new stories with you moving forward.

@$$hole! has updated, and so has my ACEN panel schedule

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

Hey gang, the people at ACEN have been kind enough to let me know some of the panels that I’ll for sure be on at this show. There may be more appearances coming, but for now I’ll certainly be at these – and you should be too!

FRIDAY
-1-2pm: Opening Ceremonies

-5-6pm: Marketing and Advertising your Comics: Doing what you love and following your passions can be hard. Trevor Mueller has two successful webcomics, The Temple of a Thousand Tears and @$$hole!, and he still works a daytime job in an advertising company. Who better to ask than him about advertising and marketing your comics?

SATURDAY
-11am-12pm: Trevor Mueller and the Panel that Shall Not be Named!: What ever shall I be talking about during this panel? Could be goofy con stories, could be writing advice, could be something embarassing that happened the night before – there’s only one way to find out!

-5:30-6:30pm: How to Create a Webcomic: Have you ever thought about starting up your own webcomic, but you don’t know where to start? This panel will cover the basics of whether or not to use webcomic hosting sites, positives and negatives of working with others, and why every comic should have a script to accompany it.

SUNDAY
-10-11am: Reading With Pictures: Guests Russell Lissau, Josh Elder and Trevor Mueller will talk about their latest exciting project, the READING WITH PICTURES anthology and the organization that bears its name. “RWP: Getting comics into schools and schools into comics…”

Ever Wanted to Punch Goofy?

April 28th, 2010 | by Trevor
Posted In: web comics

I don’t really ever know why, but Goofy has always been my least favorite Disney character. He’s unintelligent, he’s annoying to listen to, and he just kept popping up in any Disney TV show that I liked watching. Then he had Goof Troop. He would fall off cliffs and such, but would never die and go away.

To be fair, the Goof Troop movie wasn’t a bad flick. But he was still the worst part of it by far.

So in today’s @$$hole!, I got to release some frustration about Goofy. And I enjoyed every minute spent on that page.

Movie Review: Fido

April 23rd, 2010 | by Trevor
Posted In: movie review


Movie Review: Fido (2006)
Director: Andrew Currie
Cast: Carrie-Ann Moss, Billy Connolly, Dylan Baker
Plot: Fido is the classic story of a boy and his dog – only in this case, his dog just so happens to be a zombie. And not a zombie dog, but a zombie person.

Hold on, allow me to back up here. The time is Leave It to Beaver era 1950s, and the world has been over taken by the zombie apocalypse. In an effort to protect society, humanity has gathered into suburban camps with tall fences to keep the zombies at bay. However people can still turn into zombies inside the fence when they die or have accidents. Since space for graveyards is limited, the people have turned these zombies into servants, doing the undesirable jobs. To keep their human flesh desires in check, each zombie is fitted with a neck collar to suppress their hunger.

Enter Fido (Connolly), an older zombie who joins the Robinson family. Timmy, the little boy of the family, begins thinking of Fido as a pet. One day, Fido’s neck collar is damaged and he accidentally turns the old lady neighbor into a zombie. Of course, all hell starts to break loose from there and the result is one of the cutest zombie movies since – well, I don’t know when.

Fido is excellent on all fronts, from the classic Disney-esque story about a boy and his dog to the trials and tribulations of life. All under the guise of a zombie movie. The performances in the movie are very fitting. It’s the kind of movie that you don’t really want to see end.

If you like 1950s cinema, comedy, or zombie movies, then I highly recommend Fido.

@$$hole! and Temple and laptops, oh my!

April 12th, 2010 | by Trevor
Posted In: conventions, web comics

So a lot’s been going on in my world lately, and sadly I’m not able to get into details on many of the items, but there’s good news and bad news.

The bad news is that I find myself back in the job pool, hunting for work and finding an agency where my skills and experience can be utilized to their fullest. Unfortunately I can’t get into further details on this (and those who know me know that I love to rant), but for now I try to see this as a blessing in disguise. Namely, because I may have time to start reviewing movies and games again.

The good news is that I went out and bought a new laptop. Since the computer that I had been using was a work laptop (and a Mac at that, which kept crashing any Microsoft programs that I had to run every day), upon trying to turn on my old personal laptop I came to the conclusion that it was just too old and too slow for the purposes that I needed it.

The new device is father sleek, fast, and efficient. In fact, it’s technically better than my desktop computer – which is 7+ years old and I never sign it on the internet anymore. Mostly because if I ever did, it would shut down and never work again. There’s just not enough space on it for any more Windows updates, and since it’s not going online it doesn’t really need any updates.

So last week Friday another @$$hole! uploaded, continuing the adventure of Carl trying to stop the evil Michael Eisner. And today a new Temple story went live, where we see Seymour (who we know is not a fighter) getting into a scrape with some Bishops in the Capital City market streets.

This week I’m prepping for C2E2, and I’ll talk a bit more later this week about my convention exclusive print (to promote my story in the upcoming Reading with Pictures anthology), as well as my signings and panel schedule. Then next month I’ll be a guest of honor at ACEN, which is one of the most fun shows that I go to every year! Gonna be a blast!

Eisner gets serious and calls on the guards. What do evil Disney guards look like, you ask? Well, we’ll find out on Friday.

Seriously, this is probably my favorite explanation for what a villain is ever.

@$$hole!: Carl’s Birthday 1

Work’s been keeping me so swamped that I’ve fallen far behind on the comics. So to give myself enough time to play catch up, I’ve opted to update one of the first comic story arcs that I did that greatly influenced @$$Hole!

This comic was done back in college for my buddy Carl’s birthday. You’ll remember him from the Wedding story arc – the first story arc of @$$hole!

Suffice it to say, I made this years ago. And the quality certainly reflects that. But remember, it was made with love. So enjoy!
