Okay, I will leave the iPad alone now.
Hello. A while ago I took part in a Comic Jam at Happy Harbor, a comic shop in Edmonton, where I live. The idea for this particular one was to draw a random panel of a comic strip, then pass it to the next person. It was good times. Anyhoo, until I get to doing another one, you can see the results here. See if you can figure out which ones are mine.
First of all, Happy New Year everybody! I hope you all felt appropriately shitty this morning. I know I did. SO, my New Years resolution this year is to keep doing Deed The Inky three times a week, all year, no exceptions. To this end I am going to have to streamline things a little bit, so some cartoons will be simpler black and white affairs, like todays. I don’t think it really detracts too much and it takes like 1/4 of the time, so… yes, we will see.
In other news, during my daily perambulation around my favourite other webcomics I discovered this…
I loves me some Toothpaste For Dinner, but this is a bit rich seeing as their site doesn’t even have a links section. So yeah, not really all that surprising. How about spreading the love around a little bit there, Stretch?
Today is not a very special day for fans of Spike Milligan. It is not the anniversary of his birth or his death, or of anything significant that he did that a cursory glance at his Wikipedia page can determine. It is, however, the anniversary of him being AWESOME, in that Spike Milligan was once alive on a November 4th, and was awesome. This is of course just an awkward way of shoehorning this video into my blog. Here is the Milligan accepting a very prestigious award in 1994 at which Prince Charles personally wrote him a congratulatory fan letter. Skip ahead to 2:40 to hear him call the future King a “Grovelling Little Bastard” in front of the whole country. It’s not covered in the video, but right after this the Milligan sent Prince Charles a fax that said “I suppose a knighthood is out of the question?”
I won’t get into a whole biography here, ’cause this is just a little cosmic tip of the hat. But thanks for paving the way for Monty Python and everything that came after it (also known as just about everything in British Comedy), Spike Milligan!
Yes. So, in other news Deed The Inky is rocking out at #3 on Is It Funny Today today.
Thanks to everyone who voted for us! Subtext: there is still time for you to vote for me and my ego. Subtext to that subtext: go now and vote for me and my ego.

I had the writing at the bottom translated, and it turns out that it says “Gregg Beever Totally Thinks Stalin Is A Super Awesome Dude!” I was so shocked that I dropped all the posters I had bought strictly for the artwork. Then I got home and logged on to Twitter to soothe my nerves, and the first message I saw was “@GREGGBEEVER Hey guys, remember how awesome it was when the Tsarist Regime was destroyed by the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917? LOL I Am On Twitter.” I was apalled. This was blatant communist propaganda. It disregarded both the historical significance of the first World War and Twitter’s 140 character limit. So I propose we send Gregg Beever and, by extension, the entire communist movement a strong message. Here is what I propose – right now, Deed the Inky has 31 fans on Facebook and Gregg Beever’s Democratic Socialist Love Blog has 30. I say we vote with our Facebook accounts, the way the Founding Fathers intended.
