Newt Jersey #28

Newt Jersey #Sumthin

Newt Jersey is not funny anymore, but check out my blog! It's desperate, and that makes it funny. Just like a bunny trying to swim.

Newt Jersey #Late

Oh man this was late. Sorry. You can understand why - this one is autobiographical. [heck, they all are.]

Newt Jersey

Newt Jersey is reducing it's digital footprint, so that Bryan leaves less electrons behind when he dies. From now on, it's bite sized!

Interestingly, it is much easier to convert a sine wave to a cosine wave than it is to convert an awkward wave to a hair smoothout.

Follow Newt Jersey on twitter, once I figure out how to use it. Name: newtjersey.

Newt Jersey #21(?)

A list of abilities I have lost;

Making a punchline.

Developing characters.

Connecting with Strangers.

Being intelligible.

I can still play a mean game of Scrabble though.

Newt Jersey #20

Instead of one good comic this week, there are three mediocre ones. If you print them out, you have exactly half the needed panels to make a cube. What a sad cube.
Also, my friend made a documentary type thing about Newt Jersey. Check it out!

Newt Jersey #18,19

This is not nearly as mindblowing as I envisioned it. Sigh.





The anglerfish is my favorite kind of fish. Too bad I cant draw it.

Newt Jersey #17

If this makes any sense to any of you, even one of you, then I am happy.

If not, then I am just strange.

Newt Jersey #16

Tell a stranger you love them this Valentines Day. And by stranger I mean me.

Also your family. You're not lonely. Because you have them. And me.

Commentary and tomfoolery has been split into a separate page - check it out!

Newt Jersey #14

The Large Hadron Collider - I'm just the right mixture of terrified and fascinated.

Newt Jersey #13

It's been a long month, but I'm back in the swing of things - for your enjoyment/confusement: the first Newt Jersey of the tens! Two thousand and tens that is. I can only wonder what wonders this decade will hold; hover cars, hover robots, hover packs, thorium based energy on a global scale! School is just getting rolling up here in the New York, so stay tuned for some neato projects and happenings. Here's a sneak peak at what's in its nebulous stages, but sshhhhhhh (another series of short play nights similar to The Zombo Acapulco List, a radio comedy show for the purpose of spreading War of the Worlds type panic, an acoustic folk doom metal act having to do with Gnomes, and a whole bag of wonderous stuff).

I will be posting a new Newt Jersey every Tursday, so stop in and help me bake cookies. I'll let you eat some of the dough (shhhhhhhh.)

Have a beautiful new decade.

Godspeed,
Bryan

And two more. After a two week hiatus, check back Thursday for the first Newt Jersey of 2010! Happy new year, and thanks to everybody who read, and commented in person, facebook, and air mail. You make me happy.

Newt Jersey #9,10

The next two tried to not be so devastatingly sad. I hope they succeeded. The second one I owe almost entirely to a very pretty girl named Jena.

Newt Jersey #6, 7, 8

For the next three weeks comics, I decided that crushing the reader's soul was hilarious. That was an interesting three weeks for me, to say the least. It did offer me the opportunity to explore a few of my obsessions - the moon, sea monsters, and triangles. It may not be apparent, but rarely do the comics come out right the first time. Everything is drawn on notebook paper with a sharpie and a sharpie pen (which leaks like an old thermos), but I can't draw a shape to save my life, so a lot of things - particularly text, eyes and facial expressions - are pieced together on the computer. There is a paper in my desk of countless little slightly misshapen sad faced triangles on their sides. I think about it every night before I go to bed.

Newt Jersey #5

A friend of mine, we'll call her Bridget because that's her name, proposed an interesting concept - she interpereted that Newt was the name of a single character, and he just looks different every time. This blew my mind. I wish I was so clever. Instead, the characters are just whatever googlie eyed monster that comes out first (in the scripts, they are called Amon (for a monster,) and Amon and so on.) Characters inevitably emerged. The stalk-eyed, claw-handed scientist seen in this one is the oldest, and the subject of a great many page-margin doodles through the years. Is any of this interesting? Also, the phallicness of the test subject was pointed out to me after I drew it. I decided not to change it.

Newt Jersey #3

Believe it or not, most of the strips are scripted before hand. Sometimes, however, I will just start one, and hope to God I find a punchline by the fourth panel. This one just wouldn't come, so I blew a trick I had been saving - the final panel cop out slug.
