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. :)

bob'ing for apples...that wasn't even witty!

So...this is bob!

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

-Jonathan

He's hip, get it? That's the Punchline.

He's a fake, a snake, and/or a birthday cake!

The 4th Biff Kid Komic! Just 1 more to go! :)

I'll finish this blog soon, short of time.

(edit: No I wont, lol.)

HotSquirrelz.com, it's not pr0n, honest.

Have a bit of HotSquirrelz!

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.

Biff! Sok! Kapow!

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.

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!

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.

Bobby Boxershorts and Cheesy Chum Wallpaper

This one is for Ryan and Matthew, hope you like it, guys!

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.

He can Biff with all the best of them!

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!

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

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.

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.
