So it's been nearly a month since I last posted, there was a slight delay cos I had to wait till the boys had time to show me how to update. But to be honest this probably won't be a unusual occurrence, I'll try and keep the updates to around every two weeks but I can't really promise anything, I will do my best to make them good to make up for it thought : )
Classic 30 knocks down another landmark!

Well a big thanks to all the folks who read our stuff. With the arrival of Bob and the Chaptisodes back underway with a double size issue, things are just getting better and better!
I hope you think so too, so mail us and let us know what your thoughts are - Do you like Bob? What's your fav classic? What would you have the Cut The Heroics crew do?
Writers have loads of ideas. Some work and some don't. Some seem to be a good idea, but there's nothing behind it to develop it into something good. But when there's a good idea that works and that can be developed, well you only need one of those.
If you have an idea, get it on paper. Develop it, run with it and see what it looks like at the end. It'll be awesome :)

Return of the
Chapti! Revenge of the Sode! #26!
A Month?
Updated: Thursday 11th June 2009 19:00 GMT
Ok, I haven't done anything in a month, and I sincerely
apologise. There has been a few comics to tide you until my
triumphant return, so I hope you don't hate me too much.
UPI of the day! Did you know the last numerical chaptisode was back
on 25th December 2008? Since then there has been 1 Birthday Comic, 2
filler art, 5 character intro's, 5 issue mini-series starring Biff
Kid, 7 classic heroics, 1 This is Bob, 1 Bobby Boxershorts and 1 Cheesy
Chum! BUT the main story has been put on hold for just under 6months!
Crazy! Which (despite the fact that I haven't done anything for a month)
still works out to just under a comics every week.
Anyway! Enjoy. :)

Hey, so my first ‘this is bob’ is up, I realise the
link has been there for while but genius takes time so it’s just a
sacrifice you had to make. But the waiting is over, and you can now be
rewarded with the grand opening of the ’this is bob’ page.
You might remember me mentioning when I filled in for
Jonathan so spectacularly on classics, that my cousin co-founded bob, so
big thanks and a cookie to her for letting me run with it and put it up.
It actually wasn’t my idea to put the comic up; Adam just added a link
and told me I had to put some up now cos people were expecting it, at
this point I’m not sure if he deserves a cookie, I’m going to wait and
see what the reaction to the comic is first lol.
-Amy
Now THAT is a classic
Lots of superheroes wear tights, but she has the best tights ever
Updated: Sunday 31th May 2009 12.49 GMT
I am of course talking about Chun-Li. She should be a leg model...
Bob's on the way! Yaaaay!
We've been talking about bob for a while and Amy was showing us her layout and designs and story ideas and it's all looking very strong.
Completely unrelated to the Cut the Heroics universe just like BBandCC, but the style also feels like somewhere inbetween CtH and Classic Heroics.
With a release date of "very soon", let us know what you think.
-Jonathan
Well deserved rest I
think. :)
Working hard and not at all!

How is everyone doing?
I've been pretty out the mood lately. Mostly
due to attempting to keep the site afloat in Jonathans holiday absence,
but also a few other things.
I have the pencils drawn up for the next chaptisode, and have sent on
the next set of Classic scripts to Jonathan, so we've got stuff on the
way, I just needed a little break I think.
If you want to see what I've been doing check out the filler in the
comic section. I'll be taking it down however when I do the next
chaptisode.
Take care guys,
Adam
Special
Birthday treat for my special lass.
Happy Birthday Helen! ^^
Updated: Saturday 09th May 2009 01:50 GMT
Well, this looks totally rushed, and that's coz it was! Had
to be sneaky with this one since I only got the idea to do it
today and Helen has been here the entire time.
If you look at
it that way it's impressive. :D
Anyways, birthday humour in the comic
section, and Happy 22nd Birthday to the sexiest girl alive. :D And Helen
too, lol.

Classy Classic
Super Manga Binman!
Updated: Monday
04th May 2009 22.15 GMT
How cool would it be to be a binman? Really, don't you think it'd be
awesome?
I mean, you need to work to get money, so that you can do...
Well, whatever it is you do.
But a binman gets up early, works as fast as they can, and
when all the streets are cleared they go home to spend their
money on... Well whatever it is they do!
I do stuff and I wouldn't mind getting every afternoon off to
do stuff that I like doing. It'd be awesome!
I'd maybe shower first though...
Classic 27 faces it's worst fear...
27. Half of 42 but with an extra 6.
Updated: Sunday 26th April 2009 20:25 GMT
I hope this looks ok. Took me ages to get the head (lol! The
head!). You should have seen some of the mutant reject heads
that I binned... I should have saved some of them lol, they
really were quite funny :)
Also, once it was resized I noticed you couldn't really see the clock writing, but I named the comic what it said so even the hard of hearing can read it ok.
So we've ran out of comics. I've still not written up the
next one, there are a couple of drafts but I've been so busy
they've not been finalised yet. Want to hear what I've been
doing? Ok then. - Well I've been writing up some new lessons
that I learned in Okinawa for Karate that I've got twice a week
- plus band practice too as we've got recording a week on Monday
and there are still some major beats to be written - and my
dad's computer got infected which I had to fix - and my mum
needed stuff done on her's - and my gran's computer is broke
and she wants wireless installed - plus my friends computer
broke so I need to make time for that - and I try and go snowboarding
on Tuesdays so my snowboarding buddy's prolly going to fall
out with me lol cause we didn't go last week and I prolly won't
have time this week - aaaaand my phone contract is up for renewal
so I need to investigate a new one (phone contracts are important,
so you want to make sure you get a good one) - aaaaaaaaaand
my MOT's due and I know it's going to fail, so I need to work
on that too. All that and a wee secret personal project too,
which I can't tell you about yet. Busy times.
But at the top of that list is some green tea and a movie.
Then some Chaptisode action! Ohhhhhh Yeah! It'll be awesome
:)
-Jonathan
Previous Adventures? I
suspect you've used that previously.
Whoa! Comic 42?!
Updated: Friday
24th April 2009 18:45 GMT
The
sharp eyed of the group may have noticed that the comic numbering has
jumped from #29 to #42. And I'm afraid that's NOT because I've just
uploaded 13 comics!
Basically, there has been 42 comics, and when the
number is sitting counting only chaptisodes, I feel that it doesn't look
as high as it should. A comic that is over a year old should have more
than 29 issues! Hence, I've decided to show the number of comics as the
big number, and the chaptisode number will still be written on the comic
description just below.
When I was doing this Biff Kid series, I numbered them as chaptisodes
because I didn't want to prevent my comic number from going up yet
again, but now that I'm counting comics rather than chaptisodes, I've
decided to remove the Biff Kid series from the numerically numbered
chaptisodes.
This means squat to you guys I assume, lol, but thought it might be
worth a mention. Another thing worth a mention is that it's happened on
comic 42! Not intentional, but some of you may be aware that 42 is the
answer to the universe, life, and everything, as told by Douglas Adams
in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Read it if you haven't.
Finally, I also want to dedicate this chaptisode to my cousin Colin
who died at the start of the month. May he rest in peace.

So! The new Chargrilled Squirrels demo is finished! You should all download it from myspace :)

It really is awesome. We got it back from studio the other day (thanks Martin/Ryan). So let us know what you think please :)
Anyway. First update in a while. I had a good holiday thanks for asking. Did I miss anything? Isn't Hotsquirrelz awesomecakes? I still love it!
So I want all of you to write a blog of the last 6/7 weeks and send it to me. The best one gets a jellybean!

The

I'll finish this blog soon,
short of time.
(edit: No I wont, lol.)
-Adam
HotSquirrelz.com, it's not pr0n, honest.
Have a bit of HotSquirrelz!
Updated: Wednesday 01st April 2009 19:30 GMT
So! Finally managed to get HotSquirrelz off Dave!
Click the button on the left and enjoy. Technically this is like, 50comics
updated in one click, so that should be me sorted for another couple of
years. ;)
Head over and check it out! It's pretty much a straight copy of the old
site, only it's missing a Google logo that I could amend, but can't be
bothered doing so for the 90 pages he has. :)
-Adam
It's Biff to rock a rhyme that's right on time.

The
Biff returns in his third instalment.
Jonathan is back from his
holidays, so expect the story back soon. Hoping to give him a little
time to relax over the next little while. He just returned from Japan
and Australia, so I can't really ask him to focus on anything else but
the super awesome amazingness of the two. It works for me anyways since
I really want to finish this series.

I'm so lazy. Sue me.

Hello again friends, relatives, and other appropriately named people!
I decided my Bobby Boxershorts and Cheesy Chum art was just too good to not upload as a main comic, and it has nothing to do with me not having a comic to upload. :)
Check it out! And grab it as a wallpaper below and enjoy! You know you love it. :)
-Adam
Filler time!
Bobby and Cheesy! Paper for the Walls!
Updated: Thursday

I apologise for this being clearly filler, but hopefully it will be
appreciated anyways.
I've had this fan art drawn up for a while, but I thought I'd make a
wallpaper out of it to make it a bit cooler to upload. I'm loving the
graphic anyways, so I'll probably put it on a t-shirt at one point also.
This one is for Ryan and Matthew, hope you like it, guys!
-Adam
Are you
asking for a challenge?
Who puts the BIFF in Biff
Kid?
Updated: Friday 20th March 2009 11:00 GMT
I hope you guys are enjoying the Biff Kid series! It's not as funny as the
Jonathan written chaptisodes, but I think I'm doing ok!
Amy and Helen must be getting sick of my constant emails with updates on how
I'm doing as questions on how to improve them! Thanks for the input
everyone!
This mini-series is really for me to show my love for a lot of things. I'm
trying to slip as many references into the comics as possible! Even the
comics themselves are really to show my love for characters that have since
been forgotten.
HotSquirrelz.com was one of my favourite web sites when it was up. Dave
never had access to the correct equipment or software when creating his web
comic...but it didn't matter. It was well written, hilarious, and had 10x
the traffic and fan base of my site, lol.
Jonathan's "Previous Adventures" showed that drawing ability means squat
when weighed against writing ability. And even though his characters were
just basic silhouettes, they had a certain charm to them that shined
through, and you could see how well designed they were despite it all.
Guys, these are for you.

So, I decided I might as well do a Biff Kid! He's a character I've had ideas
for for a LONG time!
Obviously I take no credit for the character as he was concocted by David
Law of HotSquirrelz.com, and even then, he incorporates elements and ideas
from the Previous Adventures section, which was written by our very own
Jonathan Gibbons.
The costume design is mostly a re-imagining of the classic style Biff Kid. I
was going to incorporate ideas from the original costume design, but as
HotSquirrelz.com has been taken down, I wasn't able to get access to it.
Head on over to the comic section and check this bad boy out. ^^
-Adam
A secondary
update for secondary people.
Hurray for fixing what is
broken!
Updated: Thursday 12th March 2009 20:30 GMT
There's two blogs today for a reason! ^^
There's been a problem with the site that has plagued me since inception. A
lot of you might not have noticed, but the site only really looked it's best
on medium (or smaller) text size, and sometimes only on Internet Explorer!
It's been very annoying, and my basic knowledge of this has prevented me
from amending the problem! But not anymore! If you still can't tell? Great!
I've did my job! There are a few minor graphical differences but at least it
should put an end to the problems. :)
-Adam
KickKing...he could if he wanted to!
He's the king of the world! Well, not really...

Well, Jonathan managed to get internet access and fired me over the
remaining character intro! Not sure if I'll still do a Biff Kid mini-series,
but I'll write up some stuff as it's not a total loss if I don't use them.
I should mention! We went to see Watchmen on Saturday, and it's had pretty
raving reviews, and a few crappy ones that have really brought it's rating
down. But go see it! It's absolutely fantastic!
With that said, read the comic! :D
-Adam
The classic is officially new!
This is Bob. Hurray for Bob.
Updated: Friday 06th March 2009 10:00 GMT
Hey so I’m Amy, Jonathan’s sister and I’m filling in for him drawing classics while he’s away having fun in the sun. You may see some slight differences in the art for classics while he’s away, mostly it amazing superiority over the comics that came before, lol seriously not really I’m just filling in and I’m totally cheating cos I’m using jonathans character drawing and just making new scenes for them so I’m pretty much skiving, but with due care and consideration of course lol. Once Jonathan comes back I will be posting ‘this is bob’ which is my cartoon, drawn by my own fair mouse and written in collaboration with my cousin Sarah Jane, so that will be something for you to look forward to lol.
