So just a few short weeks away from the launch of this thing called Fuzzy Memory.

Josh updated you all al ittle on waht FM is, so let me update you a little on who I am. My name is J Horsley III and I’ve been in the web-comic game for around 5 years.

Fuzzy Memory is done completely in Illustrator based on rough sketches I do up of the panels. I think next week I might post up some sketches of an upcoming comic and talk a little about the process.

I think that’s all for me right now, I’ve got to get back to work on some FM comics before Josh hits me with a frying pan.

So as Josh said this recent election was either the greatest moment in your life, or you are a stupid hillbilly who voted for the same ol’ white man as all the other stupid hillbillies and you fuck you sister.

Was that a bit harsh? I think it might have been, let me rephrase that.

If you didn’t vote Obama, then  you like to fuck yo’ momma.

Dammit, harsh again…I can do this I swear I can…

If you didn’t vote black then you smockin’ crack! (shouldn’t that be the other way around?)

In all seriousness Senator McCain is a great man, a great politician and would have been a great president. Gov. Palin on the other hand doesn’t know that Africa is a continent, and that my friend is reason enough to not vote for them.

The republican party has a lot of fixing to do. They are out of touch with the times and run our country into a whole. As many foreign nations have said since the election of Obama “Welcome back to the world America!” The whole world was pulling for Obama and this victory, as he said, is a victory for everyone. Republican of Democrat, Independent or whatever you are be proud to voted in a non-white American to office. Prove to the world that America is better then it used to be, we are progressive to the needs of our peoples. And god dammit we have some soul, now let’s have a dance off!

That’s right, the third comic kicked my ass. Not because it was hard to draw but because I didn’t have it done in time and was up late to hit the deadline. I refuse to miss updates on this, or any other comic I do. But dammit it’s done and it looks pretty good. Oh, and so you know Josh got me the script for this weeks ago, and the next 3 as well..I’ve just been moving, playing with my kids and wife and working on y2cl, FAM, Inanimate and Skit and Skat as well as the InkSpot comics page.

So I figured I might post a little something on how I make the comics. Just a quick one since I’m tired and just finished FM4 moments from it’s due time.

First thing I do is read the extreamly wordy scripts Josh sends me.

Second I do up a sketch.

Third I put it into Illustrator and…well…Illustrate it.

Fourth I take it in to photoshop for lettering and effects.

Pretty simple process overall, just takes some time. I plan to have the original artwork I do up for sale in our future store soon that will be hosted over on The Skitish Network (the people who host us), so check back this next week for the ability to be able to purchase the origianl artwork to any FM comic that get’s posted!

Look! Up in the address bar! it’s a new URL!!! How awesome is that? We finally picked Fuzzy Memory up it’s own domain! so change your bookmarks to www.fuzzy-memory.com!

If you use the RSS or Livejournal you won’t have to change anything!

So I’m not sure if anyone realizes this but on December 4th I launched a kids web-comic called ‘The Skit and Skat Show‘ with artist JP Manzanarez.  What’s funny about that comic is there are some people that told me I couldn’t do a kids comic, to which I hope to prove them wrong. JP is drawing this comic and I am crafting the elegance of the story.

I’m not saying it’s easy, cause it’s not. That comic is probably the most challenging comic I work on right now. I mean let us analyze it for a second.

y2cl – basic dick and fart jokes weaved into crazy stories, and Jon Anderson throws down to ease my load.

Furry Animal Magic – how hard is it to make a cute animal do something gross? Honestly? besides Mike handles ALOT of the comics, I run the site and give him ideas.

Inanimate – I can bust out 15 of these in about an hour. Just ask Joe from For The Reels.

Fuzzy Memory – The harest part about THIS comic is getting all of Josh’s words into the comic. SERIOULY MAN.

But Skit and Skat I can’t make the same jokes I make else where, it shoul dbe fun! Also it’s nice to have something to show my kids! since they are not allowed to see anything else I do.

I have all the artwork done for FM6 ready to go, what I don’t have is it all placed properly in the photoshop page with the backgrounds and words put on. But it’s 2am, my computer is moving at a snails pace and I’m sleepy.

It will be up sometime tomorrow…sorry for the delay!

Sorry to say that there will be no Fuzzy Memory Strip today but there will be one on Thursday for the special Christmas Strip. I’d like to say it was planned that way, but really I got busy with family stuff getting ready for Christmas and all and forgot.

So to re-cap, no strip today but there will be a Christmas themed strip on Thursday!

So I know I missed yesterday’s comic…mostly because I forgot! BUT there IS a comic posting at midnight tonight for Christmas day tomorrow! And it’s Christmas themed! It features a new main character into the Fuzzy Memory universe! Josh and I will be adding a lot of new dynamic elements to the Fuzzy Memory world over the next few months as we develop this first story, at least I hope Josh has this worked into a story and isn’t winging it out of his ass…

Just a note letting you all know that FM8 will be up tonight. Sorry for the delay!
