Ask Not For Whom The Bub Tolls

     This comic was made around the end of 2009 and is one of my favorites. Unlike the stories in my previous comics where the plot were fairly basic and sometimes highly clichéd, the story came from different than what I had been doing. The plot is heavily based off the Hunchback's Tale from the One Thousand and One Nights collection of arabic folk tales. More specifically, it is based off The Tale of The Poor Hunchback from the two-part 2000 British/American Arabian Nights miniseries. (You can find it on netflix, and I recommend you watch it first because the references will make more sense.)
     For this comic, I basically kept the same story but replaced all the characters with my own. Tommy's doppleganger from http://bubscartoons.blogspot.com/2012/06/two-bubs-dont-make-right.html returns playing the role of Bac-Bac. The old couple is played by Bim and Harold the Paper Bag Kid (they're not gay, so don't ask). The Doctor and his assistant are played by Lucy and Tommy respectively. The chinese neighbor is played by Danielowski. And the drunk is played by Pedro.
     I watched the Arabian Nights video in my sophomore year World Hitsory class, and wrote/drew it about a year later. I even got the girlscout cutaway gag from the teacher of the same class.

A Bub In The Hand Beats Two In The Bush

Also known as "Jack Of All Bubs", I worked on this power point over the summer of 2009 (when Michael Jackson died) and finished it that September. This comic is somewhat of a low-point in all my comics, because I felt like this comic could've been so much more. The main purpose this comic was even written/drawn was to further introduce Danielowski, which, in that case, it succeeded. This is my second comic to have two dirrerent stories at once. The first story deals with Bim and Danielowski at school. The second story deals with Tommy and Harold The Paper Bag Kid in what is a homage (or rip off, if you look at it bluntly) to the Tom and Jerry cartoons. The only problem I had with this imparticular comic was that there wasn't really much of a story, even compared to my older comics. On the flip side, I felt the drawings were starting to get better and the jokes were still good, so it wasn't a total waste.

When Bubs Collide

While this may not be my worst comic, it's definately not one of my best, which I say because I'm looking back at it now, and I can safely say I would have done alot of things different with this comic than I would have back in July 2009. The plot is also pretty thin as it revolves around Danielowski hanging out with the other main characters at Bim's house... and that's really it. While there were some good parts, the story didn't really stick together.

The scene in the middle where Bim talks about whenever people use the word "not" in a question comes from my logic, if that makes any sence. I also made fun of the class of 2008 because they were the seniors during my freshmen year at high school, even though it was the summer after my sophomore year when I wrote it. So what're you doing reading this long-ass intro. Go ahead and look at this crap.

New Bub In Town

My next comic introduces Michael Danielowski, who has remained part of the main cast since. This comic, which I finished in May 2009 at the end of my sophomore year, makes fun of my old high school, and also briefly shows some of the characters' religious views.

Like Father, Like Bub

This next power point revolves around Tommy losing his memory and thinking he's his own dad, who I based somewhat off my dad (what a surprise). This comic was comlpeted in early spring 2009, hence the references to the recession and the DTV transition.
