Vegetarian burgers, episode 1 by mad_matt 6-17-05

These home-made vegetarian burgers were great, hat's off to the chef! See? Once you get over the whole cannibalism thing they're - Waht? Cannibalism? Don't worry. I made sure they were vegetarians, I went along to that campsite just down the road and found a couple of hippies that offered me grass on toast. And only a vegetarian would eat something like grass on toast, I mean come on, what the hell's that all about? So anyway, I went back there later and, uh, turned them into burgers.

There's a second episode, but somehow it's not quite as good as it was in my head.

Voices by mad_matt 6-17-05

- Hey, I'm Bill. - I'm Steve, where's the beer? - It's over there, just behind the eyes. - Cheers Excuse me, I can read minds. Did you know you have fifteen voices in your head? Oh, they're not mine, they're Jim's, I just invited them over for a party. Who's Jim? My imaginary friend.

Another one that was written as a sketch, but again, what the hey?

"Signing for Killie" episode 1 by mad_matt 6-17-05

He's signing for a football team, in case that isnt obvious. It's such an honour to sign for Killie, I'm such a massive fan, I go to all the games. Right, now this is a part time contract so you only train on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (For the benefit of the Americans in the audience i should point out that this is the real football, where you actually use your feet, and games are played on Saturdays) That's good, cos I work Saturdays. You work Saturdays? Yeah, is that a problem? Well if you're not available on Saturdays there's no point in signing you.

"Signing for Killie" episode 2 by mad_matt 6-17-05

...so they didn't want me in the end, cos I told them I worked Saturdays. But you don't work Saturdays. Yeah, but I don't want to miss the football.

Your comics have excellent set-ups. Really, they're some of the best I've seen... but the jokes just aren't funny enough, and leave the reader in a sucking void of bathos.

Work on those punchlines and you'll be an excellent stripper. Also remember that in general, the fewer words you use to get the point across, the funnier the strip is.

Soccer may be the "real" football, but it's also the "extremely boring" football.

I thought "Voices" was a good comic.

I don't want to get into an argument about football, so lets just say you're half right. "Soccer" does sometimes have long spells where nothing happens, although introducing beer to the situation makes them fly by. But there's nothing in any other sport that can compete with the beauty of seeing a thunderous looping volley from 50 yards.

And thanks for the compliment. "Voices" is the only one that came to me in comic strip form, so it didn't have the crappy long-windedness of the others.

Yes, I thought "Voices" was an especially original and funny set-up. But "My imaginary friend" was a pretty lame punchline.

The downside of psychic powers by mad_matt 6-17-05

I can't believe that guy has a union flag on his shirt. It's so obscene, it's almost hypnotic. 8 pence? a whole 8 pence for a tin of beans? What's the world coming to? I remember when ... That hot chick over there can't take her eyes off me. One kick-ass knock-knock joke and I'm totally in there. I wonder what Judas is up to. He's such a nice guy, I wish he was here to see this. How can a stick have a short end?

Another brilliant idea, and the punchline worked better this time. Although it migh've been more poignant to have butch saying nothing at the end... the title really explains it all.

Not great, and it's probably been done before, but I've said it before and I'll say it again: what the hey?

King of the brews by mad_matt 6-17-05

Is that - ? Surely not? F**k me, it is! But that's not fair. Hey Jesus, why didn't you invite me to your stag party!? That ****'s off my christmas card list.

Some funny stuff here - keep it up.

Please replace the handset, and try again.

Yeah, Voices is the best of the lot. Keep it up, and welcome to Stripcreator.

I liked Killie best. Nice start.

Why? Don't tell me you're one of these people who has to be 100% right, all of the time.

Cos if you are, then I'm very sorry, your majesty, for thinking I was allowed an opinion, it won't happen again.

I don't even know what to call these things anymore by mad_matt 6-18-05

Stripping me to my underpants was harsh... ...whipping me hurt like hell... ...that crown of thorns was uncalled for... ...and my back aches after carrying this big chunk of wood up the hill... ...but they took it too far when they put that mirror in front of me!

---
I love Family Guy more than I love taffy, and I'm a man who enjoys his taffy.

This one's based on a true story...

Please don't judge me on this, I was young foolish and in love. Okay fair enough, I'm still young foolish and in love, but at least now I know how much she hates me.

The Jesus comic was kind of lame, but "I just had to get this one off my chest" was fucking brilliant. I love it. A++.

It's good to know my misery has brought happiness to at least one person.

Your comics are getting more awesome.
Keep going and you might be better than Scyess...well up to her level. Am I gonna get hurt now?

It's funny you should say that, cos I've just hit a big creative block. I can't think of any new ideas. Any advice on how to get past this?

---

Say "Charlie Chaplin is God" 13 times and sacrifice 200 baby kittens...

And if it doesn't work you have a funny story to tell your co-workers...

It's not great but at least I've managed to come up with something today, plus there's the potential for further instalments.

Alcohol Gun, part I by mad_matt 6-20-05

Look at this cool new weapon I invented to take over Earth - it's an alcohol gun - you shoot it at people and it gets them drunk. I bet it doesn't work. It does. I tested it yesterday and it worked fine on those stupid humans. They were all completely wasted. Where did you test it? I found this nice little country to the west of britain. That explains it
