Trivia

The time is nigh, Comixers, so let's get down to it! Did you know?

The quietest room in the world is so quiet, you can hear your organs working.

As the name entails, the gas plant (dictamnus albus) is highly flammable, and you can light it on fire without burning the plant.

March 25 was international waffle day. Viva la waffles!

When winking or blinking, all birds raise their lower eyelids except for the owl.

The M.G.M Lion goes by the name Volney.

"GIVE ME THE WAFFLES"

What, you wanted to see the gas plant? Fine then:

  

Well, that does it for today, now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go grab those waffles before Volney gets to 'em. Comix out!

Info

Did you know? A previous comic strip of mine, before I started Comix, was about an unnamed shrew. This shrew may have been the inspiration for Shrew Glasses.

Concept art discovered

     NEWS FLASH! A scrap piece of paper was discovered tucked away in the back of the Comix archive. This scrap depicts a character that I had not known about nor invented. The character shown is named Sir Toyle, a turtle character with a top hat, monocle, fancyman's mustache, and a shell with little mustaches printed on it. The background is not very detailed, nor was it colored, so I don't know where Toytle is in the drawing. However, I do know that he is standing in front of 2 bookshelves. That is all I can decypher as of now. NOW BACK TO COMIX, ALREADY IN PROGRESS.
      "...and that's the story of how I learned to play the morin kuur. Comix out!

Creepypasta, Comix colors, and a crazy chicken

Triple! This new weekly segment covers 3 random topics, and the first is Creepypasta, a series of scary internet tales. Specifically, this part is Comix characters and their favorite Creepypastas.

Comix Moose: Ghost Moose, the story of a picture of a moose that had no moose to begin with.

Mr.Roach: Slenderman, the classic about the thin man in a suit who stalks his prey.

Shrew Glasses: Pig Day, the somewhat funny story about the one day a year when pigs can read minds. Stop it! I know you're thinking about bacon!

Now, the color portion. This time, the main 3 characters describe what color they believe they are.

Comix Moose: Russet brown.

Mr. Roach: Smokey brown.

Shrew Glasses: Dingy gray.

Finally, the crazy chicken I promised:

DO NOT ZOOM IN ON THIS PICTURE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

If that's not enough chicken-ness, you can see how long it takes for the Chicken on a Raft
to send you off at www.chickenonaraft.com

That concludes this week's Triple. Please be careful when opening overhead lockers, as items may have shifted during the flight. Thank you for flying with Comix. We hope to see you again tomorrow.

Character of the week

And we're back! Welcome to Comix! Try the bac la va! Or, better yet enjoy the character of the week, number.. ah who cares! We're going in numerical order anyways! Just...ugh.
Anyways, this week's C.o.t.w. is Spivney.

Appearance: Spivney is a floating brain with a face. He is concealed in a jar of green fluid suspended by 6 tiny legs. For a brain, he is cute.

Age: 27. (Note: Age only counts his time spent outside of a head.)

Field of work: Mergers and aquisitions.

Blood type: He's a brain. How are we supposed to find out?

Height: About 2 feet or 60.96 centimeters, including jar.

Weight: 2.87 pounds or 1.3018 kilograms without jar, about 3 pounds or 1.361 kilograms with jar.

Jar's original use: Holding toxic waste. No, that is not why Spivney is a living brain.

Cannot speak, because he is a brain.


I feel like today contained a lot of painfully obvious information, but who cares. Seriously though! Stop with the robot voice.

Trivia

Now, before I get into this week's trivia, I'd like to provide an explanation. You see, I was out yesterday because of a by-monthly meeting. Explanation over. Commencing trivia. You read that with a robot voice, didn't you?

The supreme court once debaited over the tomato. Fruit or vegetable? You decide!

Know that guy on the Quaker Oats box? Yeah, he goes by Larry.

More serial killers are born in November than any other month.

Speaking of birthmonths, February has the lowest amount of birthdays.

Have a spare trough? Turns out they make excellent goldfish tanks, with just the right size.

Aaaaannnd it's Larry.

You're still in the robot voice, aren't you? Comix out! Beep!

Info

Did you know? Comix Moose's favorite book is The Grapes of Wrath. Mr. Roach's is To Kill a Mockingbird.

Featured quote, second channel, and fine art

This week's quote comes to us from Comix Moose, and he says: "Who are you going to trust, a person you've known all your life, or your friend who occasionally is overcome by a sense of dread in the most trivial of social interactions?"

Guess which one he is.

Also, be sure to visit our second blog, Comix#2, over at http://buddie911.blogspot.com/ . There aren't many posts, but I'll try to contact my co-worker about that. Also, some grammar may be incorrect, but I can't really change that.

In addition, check out this site for some awesome illustrations by my good friend Dave: http://davidcoviello.com/  There's some awesome abstract illustrations and some people too, so be sure to check that out. Dave also thinks that the Delawarians should be ashamed. (See last week's Trivia if you don't get the joke.)


Until tomorrow, Comix out!

Character of the week

Welcome to Comix, where it's always slightly overcast! Because of St. Patrick's yesterday, now would be as good a time as ever to have number 202, Patrick, as the character of the week.

Appearance: A little green clover with 4 leaves. Sometimes seen with freckles.

Quote: "Top of the mornin' to ya!"

Height: Point 5 inches.

Weight: 1/3 pound = 151.2 grams.






Gets around by hopping, which I imagine would be hard.

Origin: Of Irish descent. Arrived at Comix when a shipload of clovers capsised. Patrick paddled to shore, and the rest you know.

Friends: Shimsham, Orileigh, and Potaytau. Yes. I made them up.

Favorite color: Puce. Hah! Thought it would be green?


As they say in Ireland... actually, I don't want to offend anyone, so I'll just say "Comix out!" and keep it at that.

Trivia

It's that time of the week once again, Comixers! Let's get right down to it! Did you know?

Caterpillars have about 4,000 muscles. Feeling inferior yet? Well, you should. We humans don't have half the amount they do!

Delaware is the only state without a national park. For shame, Delawarians.

The Twitter logo (That little blue bird) cost the company not 2, not 4, but a whopping $6.00.

Sadly, about 1 million birds die each year smashing into windows. About 4/5 of them are Angry Birds. And now, a moment of silence.   Okay moment over!

The sailfish moves faster in water than a cheetah on land.




Unfortunately, this bird has just lost his life. On that note, I call to end this segment of Comix, and I'll see you guys next week!

Comix Moose's Goldberg contraption

Okay folks! Comix Moose has requested that his contraption be featured in a post, so enjoy the verbal blueprint and mechanics.

Place worm at windowsill inside of container that is closed with only the top part open and with a string attached. Leave window open slightly enough for bird to grab worm. Bird grabs worm, pulls string attached to container, causing a pistol to burst a balloon tied to a brick that falls on an atomizer bulb, shooting perfume at a sponge that expands and lowers, pulling a string, raising the end of a board. The cannon ball on said board drops on the nose of a person that was, well, just standing there, and the string tied to the cannon ball releases the cork of a vaccum bottle, dropping ice water on a lizard on a two sided weighing scale from the grocery store. Compatible with warmer climates, the lizard climbs off of the scale, and the change in height will cause the other, sharper beaked bird on the other side of the scale to fly up and pop a balloon with a bomb attached. The bomb falls on a safe, breaking it and releasing 500 to 763 Egyptian termites. Singling out a plank of wood, the termites charge to it, but before they can, a timed spring board flings a pie at them. Some whole berries from this pie fly into your mouth. Sustenace aquired, mission accomplished.

Plush update

UPDATE! If and when Comix plush are released, wave 1 will have Comix Moose, Mr. Roach, and Shrew Glasses. Wave 2 is Epic Face, Lazer Face, Meep, and Elder Waffle. Wave 1 would release near the beginning of the year, whenever that is, and wave 2 near the mid-year.

Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Info

Did you know? Mr. Roach inexplicably regains a head every time he is decaptiated. It is unknown how long it takes for his head to regenerate, though we know that it takes 24 to 72 hours. Even though we created the concept, we have a theory. We think that he does not get a new head, but just glues the old one back on. JUST A THOUGHT!

Character of the week

Welcome to the Comix file, where our motto is: Moo. This week, I bestow upon Blewnie the rank of Character of the week.

#201

Appearance: A red balloon with a face that was obviously drawn with a permanent marker. He has 2 strings for arms.

Personality: Full of hot air. Eh? Eh? See what I did there? Also he is a little stale. Eh? Eh? Stale, as in stale air! Okay, enough balloon puns.

Height: 4 feet with string.

Weight: How the heck should we know?! Like, 2.5 pounds or something?! (Grumbling: weighing a balloon, honestly!)

Friends: Derp, Kip, Bloobeary.

Enemies: Everyone that looks like a monkey. Pretty darn judgemental for a guy that used to have no face.



Kind of looks like this.




Before we shell off, remember this: It can ALWAYS involve Doritos.

Trivia

Are you ready to rumble!? Well, we don't do that here, so tough luck. However, if you are ready for trivia, you've come to the right place.

The word ''bed" looks like a bed itself!

"James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher" is gramatically correct as a sentence.

Looking up to the left can help jog your memory.

Believe it or not, everything you've seen in a dream is something you've seen in real life.

32 years = 1 billion seconds.


That's all folks, but Monday will harken a new post and a new character. Comix out, yall! Why did I say that?

Battle update and Fanny pack

Since battle is in a random hiatus, I decided to tell you that the rules have been tweaked slightly. One character thinks of a challenge for the other character to comlete. If the opponent completes the challenge, he or she issues a challenge for their opponent. This goes on until someone fails to comply. If 4 characters remain, the semifinals go into play. Winners of each semifinal round go on to battle each other in a no holds barred battle to the finish.

Since this material may not be enough for one post, enjoy these photos from the fanny pack:

Shown here are the Manimal, a bird that can get aHEAD, lulzgator, the angry bird's plight, and the reason no one likes Phil. I do not own these pictures, all credit to their owners. Also, click them for a better view.

That's all for today, guys. Trivia is up tomorrow, so be here as we unveil 5 more irrelevant facts!

The Comix Oscars

And now, the nominees for best picture are...

Dumbour: Because love is stupid.
 Life of sai: Featuring our own Kafloom and a random tiger.
Largo: The plane movie in Florida.
Blinkoln: The movie about a guy who blinks.
Lame is Rob: Some French film.
Weirdo Lark Birdy: Surfing bird!
Sliver Dinings Platter: ......
Beasts of the Southern Mild: A movie about mild beasts!

And the winner is... Largo! Hmm. Well, I was rooting for Weirdo Lark Birdy, but we can't always win.
See you all next year! Not. See you Comixers tomorrow. Also, feel free to comment on who you wanted to win.

Sorry!

Hey guys! Before you ask where I've been, I can explain. Yesterday I was swamped with work due the next day. I had even more work today, but managed to finish in time to make this post. Rest assured that as of tomorrow, Comix will be out of hiatus. In the mean time, please enjoy this photo of a sheep that has apparantly just realized that he is dryclean only. I do not own the photo or the sheep.

Comix signing off!

Trivia

Hello, Comix fans! And now, the moment you've all been waiting for... give it up for your weekly dose of trivia! Did you know...

It has been scientifically proven that a crush only lasts for 4 months. After that, you're officially in love!

If you had 500 dollars worth of pennies and melted them down, the melted metal would be worth $1000!

For every acre of land there are more than 1 million worms. Talk about Wormo's paradise!

Farmers sometimes feed cows magnets to prevent metal particles from harming their stomachs.

If he was invited to a dinner party with the fictional characters he created, Dr. Seuss would not attend.




Shown here is a cow magnet, the specific type that cows are fed. As for Seuss, I can't blame him. I mean, you've got this giant cat-thing, some fuzzy green dude, the whozits and the whatzits... I think I've proven my point. Anyways, I will see you guys on Monday! Comix file signing off!
