Seriously though, he never changes his name. And what’s the deal with him, anyway? Is he like immortal or what? You’d think someone would ask about that at some point.

Happy New Year!/Resolutions/Couple Of Minor Changes To the Site/A Slight Perceived Douching

Markasaurus — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 23:00:10 +0000

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?

This was an experiment in trying to simplify the process of updating, by possibly not always colouring cartoons. I don’t think it’ll stick though. They are sort of meant to be in colour.

The conclusion (for now) of the Face Explosion Man trilogy. I set up a bunch of supporting characters, who are essentially useless after this strip is over. Hurrah.

Part two of Face Explosion Man week. This is my favourite Face Explosion Man comic.

The Saga Of Face Explosion Man

Part one of the epic Face Explosion Man Week. This cartoon took soooooo long.

Watch Me Age While Blogging

I happen to know the exact time I was born, so I wrote this sentence in my twenties. No, wait…. this should be the last sentence I write in my twenties: Even a stopped clock is correct twice a day. Unless it stopped because it melted in a fire. In which case the only time it’s right about is that one time when the clock caught on fire. And here is the first sentence I wrote in my thirties: You can lead a horse to water, but once it’s there you can’t balance it on top of another horse for very long. Ten seconds, max.

That should set the tone nicely.

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.

A Haunting

In the 60′s, Johnny Cash accidentally killed about half the population of California Condors in the world. If he had succeeded, he would be one of only two individuals who had wiped out an entire species by themselves. And that’s what Johnny Cash has in common with half a cat.

A more topical version of this would be “Mortgage Defaulting.”
