An Obscure Gentlemen Banner Contest

by

When redoing the site we learned that we can have multiple banners rotate through. In doing this we sat around and came up with different genre costumes to make our characters as (up now: casual Gentlemen and superhero Gentlemen). That being said we are leaving one banner up to the fans. The banner that we choose will be created by Aaron and posted in our rotation. If your suggestion is chosen you will also win: a handsome Obscure Gentlemen mug or  Obscure Gentlemen T-Shirt of your choosing and a cameo in an upcoming comic. All just for wanting Trevor to dress up like a dildo (or whatever you would like to see him as). Entries will be accepted on http://thehistoryhacker.com/2015/03/ Facebook and the comments section below. Contest starts now and ends at the end of May.

6 X 2 Questions with Eric & Glenn The Creators of Inconsistent Comics

by

isotretinoin prescription online next day delivery  Before you is an interview with two men who delight me on a weekly basis in every sexual way possible or these two men create Inconsistent Comics, one of the funniest web comics out there. Glenn and Eric deliver humorous comics that don’t hold back in any way but carefully execute set up and punch lines flawlessly. If they think it’s funny they will create it, which always ends up with me laughing. While their name is Inconsistent Comics they are anything but. Every installment from beginning to end is consistent with greatness and jokes about tumors that I hope continue on for a very long time. While I only found this comic a few months ago it became an instant favorite of mine and I made love to their archives in no time. Never has a comic made it OK to bash baby seals as Inconstant Comics has. Find out what I mean by looking at their archives after you read this!

The OG: Give me your origin story and give it to me now!

Glenn: It all started with 12 acid hits and a bad burrito.

Eric: Of course there was the acid and burritos but I’ll honour you with the specifics. Glenn and I met in grade 3 in Ottawa and have hated each other since. While in University we had an idea, drew it up and sent it to the engineering paper (they usually beg for submissions). They printed it, we rejoiced. THEN we made another the following month (The Seal Club) and it got REJECTED. I was furious and vowed never to submit anything ever again, then we thought: “If only there was a place where we could post whatever we wanted… like ANYTHING…without getting rejected…” and that’s why we invented the internet.

6 X 2 Questions with Eric & Rob Hatefarm The Creators of Hatefarm

by

I was first introduced to Hatefarm when I was looking through some of the I Am Arg archives awhile back. They did a pretty well known comic where Arg walks in on his girlfriend and the character from Skyrim going at it. I was instantly hooked and thought, what else could these deranged fuckers come up with? I ate through their archives to find that Hatefarm is a brilliantly thought out comic that is drawn beautifully . Every week I wait to see a new comic from Eric and Rob Hatefarm, but sometimes have to wait longer since they post every other week or whenever the hell they want. If this was any other comic I would probably have lost interest but Hatefarm is different. If they posted monthly I would wait around to see what else they produce. It’s worth the wait to see well crafted jokes and art that are missing from most comics today. Hatefarm is one of my top five favorite comics and I have no doubt after you read this interview and go to their site it will be one of yours too.

 

The OG: You’re both men of varied sexual presence. What brought you two to meet and create this farm of hate?

6 X 2 Questions with Gary Cohen & Mike Shea The Creators of Mallville Rules

by

Mallville Rules is Saved by the Bell with Superheroes if Saved by the Bell wasn’t a pile of shit and had clever writing. Being a fan of comic books I have come to love these characters from their original incarnations done by creator Gary Cohen and their more recent versions with art from the great Mike Shea. I first came into the Mallville Universe when I was attacked on twitter by Mr. Cohen’s always on point humor. He smacked me in the face with his verbal genitalia and ever since then I’ve become a big fan of Mallville Rules. Listen to these two masterminds talk about their creation and how they may one day murder each other just for sport. Do yourself a favor and follow these whores in all manner of social media they hang out on.

The OG: What brought you two bastards together to create the Mallville Universe? Love or some other sordid origin story?

 

G: Well, I’ve been writing about the characters in Mallville since I was in high school. All of them are based on my childhood friends. I did Mallville solo for about 9 months. But it was just too much work. And I can’t really draw which is a distinct disadvantage.  I put an ad on Craigslist and found the most amazing artist. But that didn’t work out. So, then I found Mike.

M: I had some downtime between my MOMA retrospective and my upcoming re-paint of the Sistine Chapel so I figured I’d give this whole comics thing a shot. Gary lucked out with the timing really.

6 X 2 Questions with Colin & Brandon The Creators of TWWXD

by

To know class in comics, one needs to look no further than Twxxd.com. If you have run into the brothers Oliver on the social media landscape you already know what awesome guys they are. Twxxd is a webcomic powerhouse that does things a bit differently. Not only do they have their standard webcomic, but the brothers Oliver also create other type of webcomics on the very same site. Twxxd appeals to the nerd in all of us with brilliant takes on pop culture. I feel that these Canadian bastards write comics just for me, with each and every update making me wish that I could come up with some of their witty observations. Another treat that sets these gentlemen apart from other web comicers is their podcast. Every Monday I look forward to downloading their newest 45-minute-or-so conversation with other web comicers. After you read this interview, go to their website and download a couple of these podcast episodes and find out more about gaming culture and the webcomics you read. These guys work ethic and creativity make me proud to be a part of the web comics community.

The OG: What and why is a Twxxd? 

Colin:  The name Twxxd came from the game Gauntlet: Dark Legacy for the N64.  For those who haven’t played it, it was this horrible mindless hack’n’slash game made great by the four player co-op mode, a relatively rare thing in those days.

When a player wanted to start a new level, they had to stand on the appropriate glowing circle on the hub map.  All players had to move to the circle in order for the next level to start.  So if someone was taking their sweet time getting there, or just being a dick, the game would remind all involved that someone wanted to depart by saying something like “Green wizard is read to exit”.  Except the audio quality was HORRIBLE, so for the longest time, we thought the guy was saying “Green wizard is really Twxxd”.  It became a thing.
