Yes, I returneth in the time of great need!... and so on and so fourth.

Yes, my computer is well and truly fixed. It seems that some kind of ultra stealthy ninja virus had hurdled its way through my many firewalls, anti-viruses and such to allow a backdoor to my computer to be activated. Someone from my MSN contacts sent it to me, so I think it's been either my hacker-of-a-brother or one of my many enemies. Still, it allowed me to realise something.

Mr Nose, on returning from a two-week holiday, found nine emails waiting for him in his hotmail inbox. I jokingly said that I would find many more if I went away for two weeks.

I return from two days away to find 42 emails.

What can I say? Hate mail comes in numbers.

A big "fuck you" to whoever keeps on flaming me, by the way. I do what I mother fucking want.

Comic up Tuesday. Maybe.

Here at The Bastards we go from strength to strength.

Well, no. That’s a lie. We go from relatively weak to relatively weaker. The problem is that I can’t finish my comic. It’s all drawn – a hard task to complete when Josh invites everyone he fancies to my house while I’m trying to do it – but my computer decided it’s turning to Mormonism.

Either that or it’s just gone plain crappy on me.

I have Internet access on my father’s computer. That’s about as much as I can do until I fix my own. If I get it fixed.

(Sorry if the newspost isn't exactly how you want it Japs, but at least it's up ^_^)

First up, you may have noticed a little thing we call the third comic that I busted my ass on for you guys. Also, you may have noticed some differences.

Yes, we're experimenting with better backgrounds.

First up a big thumb up to Outpost for helping me out. And a bigger middle finger up to Outpost because The Bastards owns Smite Ho.

Outpost is a great guy. He was the one that helped me with the backgrounds. He just forgot to mention how it would screw up and cost me some many hours fixing. I think he's trying to eliminate competition from the inside. He's like... comic implosion.

So, yeah. Any comments will be fine. Just never mention Optimus Rhyme again. Also, this is the first time I've used one of Yosh's scripts. Not that he's a bad writer, I just didn't want to use any of his material while the comics only looked half-decent.

I'm spending tomorrow resting after three days solid work on one comic.

Sleep is for the weak.

Ciao.

Good day people.

A couple of things to say. The new guy is called Mr. Nose (we don't know his first name) and is a psychotic gamer, who may or may not be based on a real person. You'll be seeing plenty more of him.

The robot there is the all singing, all dancing Opyimus Rhyme. NOT to be confuse with Optimus Prime, character from cartoon series and toy franchise The Transformers. If I were you, I'd be praying I don't write him in another script.

I'm sure Japs has explained why the comic has been delayed a bit. We decided it would be good to experiment with different kinds of backgrounds, and he had the idea of blurring photographs. It works quite nicely, don't you think?

Later.

Hiya! Webmaster Andy here. Since keenspace is weird and won't update currently...I've decided to fix the problem (momentarily). You may click here for the first comic. Hope you enjoy it.
