Happy Independence Day Everybody!! Yay for the 4th of July. Barbeques & Grillin’, Fireworks, house full of relatives…and all that jazz~

I hope that everyone’s having a great day & for a touch of patriotism, the Americans of WaM got together for a little pin-up! And Mordred counts b/c he’s a citizen. Took the test & everything since he has no plans on moving back home with the family to the good ol’ UK.

And I still love Lancelot’s freckles~ So very much.

Moving on~

Reader Participation time!!

What’s your favorite thing to do on the 4th of July? (Or if  you’re not American – your Country’s equivalent holiday/birthday!)

“And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.”

“Proud to Be An American” by Lee Greenwood

Some of you may be questioning today’s Pin-Up.

First of all, this is (of course) a request of one of the pair-a-thon winners – KGJ/CageyJay. I feel obligated to clarify this request however as KGJ did not quite ask for this.

Way back when she was first asked for what she wanted, she came up with something but I forget what it was and she came back with a replacement request that was and I quote:

“…let’s see some ‘tentacle pr0nz’: Let’s get a look at Lancelot tending his mad garden.

…er, in PG-13, of course.”

I of course laugh hysterically at the idea and went  all: Awesome. Done.

Of course today I get a second e-mail going “You know I was joking about the tentacle thing, right?”

Ha ha. No.  No I didn’t. She should have known better. And now the rest of you do as well.  You can’t joke with that sort of thing around me. I’ll draw it.

*inserts sleep deprived hysterical laughter*

I wuv you KGJ~

“Feed me, Seymour
Feed me all night long
‘Cause if you feed me, Seymour
I can grow up big and strong

Would you like a Cadillac car?
Or a guest shot on Jack Paar?
How about a date with Hedy Lamarr?
You gonna git it. ”

“Feed Me (Git It)” -Audrey II (From The Little Shop of Horrors)

Ha ha; Photoshop wasn’t cooperating. I was actually done on time for once. XD Dumb Photoshop making me five minutes late.

And so ends a Volume – Sunday? That’s right. New Volume and what should be a complete story arc (similar to the Concert Arc where all the individual chapters apply to the overall story instead of switching like this volume…)

Fun stuff.

And I need to learn Swedish. I’ve got a few wonderful people volunteering to translate for me, but it requires knowing my dialogue in advance…which never happens. So to get a translation I basically need someone around on the off chance I need them while I draw. And Wiglaf doesn’t use his Swedish that much (though I would like him to use more…)

Anyway it’s not a very reasonable request. XD Thus the problem.

I’ll end my complaining now. *pats Wiglaf* He has nothing to be jealous of for a while.

“Leave Me Alone-Stop It!
Just Stop Doggin’ Me Around

“Leave Me Alone” by Michael Jackson

Color later tonight (Wed. Night) because I’m a loser who couldn’t stop watching Transformers G1 Season 2.

Tracks & Raoul. Yes. Why was there only two episodes? *sob* Oh um, and Starscream is love. Just plain love.

Right. WAM. What you came here for. Um, return of Hissy! He makes everything better.

Ha ha…these things are starting to sound Deja-vu-ish. Ie.

“Pay close attention
Don’t listen to me from now
George’ll be flying this one
And it’s anyone’s guess how he does this
Is the right turn wrong
Universe taking me in full bloom
Fireball careful with that there
See what you made me do”

“Must Be Dreaming” by Frou Frou

Wiglaf is way too happy in that second to last panel. *bops him*

Ha ha; Lancelot is silly. And crushing way too hard. And this begins the last segment of this Volume. It’ll probably be pretty short maybe one or two more strips.

And then – then it should be something fun. That’s right. A plot. Fear it. In a couple strips.

“It used to be sugar then it turned into salt
I used to rock your world now I’m standing on a fault line
Lying naked in a hail storm in the dark
You’re my little tornado and I am your trailer park
You used to call me names too cute to repeat
Like honey bunch hairy bear and piccolo peet
Goochy goochy goo goo gaga shit like that
Now you’re after me screaming you dirty rat”

“Pet Names” by Smash Mouth

And we come to the end of a chapter. Huzzah. Wiglaf accomplished the goal stated in the chapter summary.

Friday…we’ll be joining someone else. Haven’t decided who yet. Though it’ll probably be…somebody else.

“Here I am, once again
I’m torn into pieces
Can’t deny it, can’t pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won’t get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes”

“Behind These Hazel Eyes” by Kelly Clarkson

Alternate titles for today’s strip include:

1) Oh Lord, She Lowered Wiglaf’s IQ

2) Man That’s a Dumb Joke

*cough* Um. Yeah. *runs and hides*

“Come back to us spiders
Come uncrush my hands
Let peace and beauty reign
And bring us love again, like you can”

“Spiders” by Moby

Had to work late today, and have to be in early tomorrow. That cut(s) my drawing time quite a bit as I need to turn in early. I probably could have done more than a sketch…but I’m distracted easily and I was tired. Heh.

It’ll get finished tomorrow (Friday) night.

I just had a horribly long Friday. XD I was tired and I saw a movie after work instead of doing WAM. At least I got it inked. *dies* Tomorrow’s going to be crazy catching up. XD

There. It’s in color. XD

Ha ha; Poor Lancelot. He didn’t do anything wrong. Just…in the wrong spot at the wrong time and messing with the wrong friend. *pats him*

At least Mother Nature looks out for him.

“One way or another I’m gonna find ya
I’m gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I’m gonna win ya
I’ll getcha, I’ll getcha”

“One Way or Another” by Blondie

Ha ha. Wiglaf wasn’t kidding.

Don’t mess with ‘em.

“Que pasa!, dispara!
no tengo todo el día
que la noche se acaba
nadie se reirá en mi cara.
Entiendo que tengo
lo que me merecía
y es el broche perfecto
no tengo una mejor salida.”

“Dispara” by Gonzalo Yañez (I love this song)

Ha ha. Wiglaf might be jealous. Hard to tell. My characters like to do things without permission.

They write themselves. I swear. It’s almost creepy.

Oh, and you should go check out EEComics. I drew a guest strip for them you can check out. I have all sorts of love for Bob & Eddie.

“I know who you are
The leader of lost souls
You can’t kill me
I’m immortal
I’m not afraid to die
My soul will travel on
You can’t kill me
I’m immortal”
