BACK FROM THE DEAD.

I'M BAAAACK WOOOOoooOOOOOoooOOO (Scary ghost noises)!
Anyways, yeah, remember that hiatus I said GD was taking?  That's over.  It's back to making comics and being tired of living!  YAYSOBSOBSOB.
Things have gotten really hectic.  A road trip happened, and then my brain tried to murder me.  All in our next batch of exciting comics!
Also, yes, I'm a horrible bug-eyed zombie now.

Giraffes.

A little something different!  So I have a list of animals I think are suspicious.  There are reasons why for each one, and today, we feature giraffes!  There are some definite layout issues, but this is the first in a series I'm starting here on General Demeanor, and it will hopefully solidify into a nice looking title.  Also, if you can't tell, I am a paranoid human being.

Let's Attack Aggressively.

So Chris and I have Contra and Contra III on the NES and Super Nintendo, respectively.  If you know anything about video games, then you know that these games are hard.  Like, insanely difficult.  Like, playing is fun, but after a while, you die so many times that it really feels like the game is punishing you for something you did.  And if anything, you probably have it coming.
What I'm trying to say is that we suck at video games.  Also, if you ever meet anyone who has claimed to beat these games without using the Konami Code, then slap them in their filthy lying mouth, because that is impossible.
Ooh, and I just found out I can ad alt text to these comics!  SWEET.

The SuperTan.

So since I'm in the sun a lot at work, I have both lost a bunch of weight and gotten a MEGA Farmer's tan.  The other employees try to find ways to combat this, but I have decided to accept that I will always have a terrible farmer's tan, especially since I have ALWAYS had a farmer's tan.

Inappropriate Cooking Methods.

SO I GOT A NEW SCANNER AND THIS IS THE FIRST PAGE I'VE EVER SCANNED FROM IT AND OMG IT'S AWESOME AND MAKES MY LIFE SO MUCH EASIER!
Okay, run-on sentence over. Anyway, I couldn't post last Thursday, even though this comic has been pretty much done for a week, because I got horribly sick and just was not up to going outside at all. Boo.
All that aside, expect comics to actually be posted on time now since I am no longer subject to the vicissitudes of a public scanner! :D

Wisdom from Chris.

I offer some of Chris' wisdom without context or comment.

More Socks.

Chris added another sock puppet on the back of Burglar Sock's head. Hobo Sock is easily impressed.
Also, sorry about GD being so erratic, lately! I'm in the middle of trying to get a scanner of my own, plus, work and life in general have been SUPER CRAZAY.

Disappointing Socks.

So an errant sock that belonged to nobody wound up in Chris' laundry once, and since it had been washed, he decided that it was safe to draw a face on it. Then he drew a face on it. It has a black toe, so it is now known as Burglar Sock.

ZACHBUTT.

So Zach is a trombone player, like Javi, and his nickname around these parts is "Zach Attack." Hell, one of his professors even named a piece of jazz music "Zach Attack," and gave him a trombone solo. It's pretty sweet.
However, the predecessor to the trombone was the Sackbut, or as I know it, "what the Trombone was during its awkward teen years." Chris saw fit to christen Zach "ZachButt."
Zach, I'm terribly sorry.

He's All Over This One.

Javi is generally proud of his appearances in the comics (In my opinion, they are the most accurate portrayal of the kind of dude he is without just straight-up meeting him in person). Sometimes he wants to be in the comic. Sometimes, he really wants to be in the comic. And sometimes, he REALLY wants to be in the comic.
Luckily, he is all over this comic.

Feeding the Music.

Me, Chris, and Javi were eating spaghetti yesterday and Javi's Beethoven sheet music was on the table. I don't know what came over him, but Javi did something UNBEARABLY CREEPY. Seriously, his face looked EXACTLY like that.

The Worst Kind of Parent.

Chris had a bag of off-brand cereal for a while called "Marshmallow Mateys," and though I never tried it, I learned that the mascot is probably the worst thing ever. Male Kangaroos don't even HAVE pouches. I agree with Chris, in that sense, but his example was...weird, to say the least.

Earth is Gross.

OKAY SO THE COMIC IS UP A DAY LATE OH MANS I'M SO SORRY.
My friend Katelyn is something of a globe-trotter and got to travel the world by boat through a thing our school does called Semester at Sea. It's a really cool thing and she came back with tons of neat stories. I can't speak for the rest of the world, odour-wise, but i feel like if the entire world smells like pee, then something is wrong. That, or Katelyn just smells pee EVERYWHERE and hasn't told us.

Nothing Odd Here, Guys.

So Sabrina's taking a photography class (she is now the only one of us in school), and related to us her idea for a photo assignment using a paper bag. We're definitely sure it makes sense. Also, that there is no such thing as a place to rent out humans for photos. Probably.

PATIENT ZERO.

So I caught a cold this weekend that hit me hard and fast. Seriously, I was down for the count. I had to work Sunday night, and I was a terrible mess. Got tired too quickly and sneezed way too much. While home, I had to put myself under quarantine for fear of infecting the entire household with my horrible plague. Turns out they all ended up fine!

Operation Market Orange.

So grey scale is REALLY HARD, especially when you only actually have two grey pens to work with. As you can see, in the above comic, there is only so much layering you can do before your page just looks like a grey pen threw up on it.
So, if I haven't mentioned it before, I work in a frozen yogurt place, and, as with all jobs, there are good days and bad days. Sometimes, though, those bad days last a WHOLE WEEK. At least I get a huge paycheck.
It mostly happened because all the new students from the college nearby (incidentally, my old school) had moved in for orientation, and the groups would come into the store for frozen yogurt. On a hot summer day, that mess hits the spot, but that entire week, our frozen yogurt machines decided to break down a lot (especially when huge mobs of customers were in the store). We made do, but it really felt like everything was going wrong faster than we could put it back together.
I've been reading Band of Brothers recently (the series is amazing and I figured reading the book would deepen my appreciation for Easy Company and its awesomeness), and the descriptions of the artillery strikes in the book kind of influenced the second panel. Essentially, it felt like the machines were just lobbing horrible things at me all the time, and I couldn't do anything about it. Not fun.

The Letters From No One (I'm Sorry JK Rowling).

At our apartment, we consistently get mail for at least four different ladies who don't live there. Unless they secretly do. In that case, where are they? WHERE ARE THEY. THEY COULD BE HIDING IN THE CLOSET WITH KNIVES WAITING FOR ME TO LET MY GUARD DOWN. Yes, that is exactly what's happening.

The Grossest Gross.

I was doing my laundry at my oldest sister's place the other day (also, this is her first appearance! YAY!), and while I was waiting for the last load to dry, we talked to my brother over skype and ate grapes. FUN!
Then she had a dare for me. A GROSS DARE. Man, it was gross. But then she let me take some cans of soda to my apartment because she is nice and I am poor.

The Mug Shot.

When I took an art class last fall, we had a self-portrait assignment. On our newsprint (like scratch paper for artists), we had to do at least 5 or 10 quick sketches. As I went on, I noticed something. Something MORTIFYING.
I look like a criminal.

The Horrors of Curiosity.

Do not go to 4chan. EVER. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, 4chan is a set of online forums where users can enjoy complete anonymity. There's forum pages about cooking, art, music, robots; you name it, there's a place for it on 4chan. EVERYTHING.
And then, there's the "Random" page, or /b/, as it is known. This wasteland of a forum is the worst part of 4chan, displaying the worst of humanity. Trolls thrive here, as do horrible abominations in the eyes of God and Man.
Seriously, 4chan is the worst ever.
