"A Love Poem to Air-hockey"

Then silence till another challenger fells

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! Aside from a call to dispatch a corpse who choked on a turkey bone, things were pretty slow here at SJHQ. We're thankful for that AND for our gang! Especially our pal Bill McKay of Zombies vs Cheerleaders fame, for this de-composition:
Got a few short-form strips in the pipeline as we ramp up Chapter Two. Keep an eye out!
Everyone join me in wishing Bengie a happy birthday. I am nowhere near the artist he is so I will spare all of you my "pretty art." Once more round the sun brother!
If you are reading this today, there's a good chance you ventured here from Guilded Age. Welcome! Our journey starts at Intervention last September in a humble panel room. After we premiered our interactive comic style for "Innovation in Webcomics" and T Campbell showcased his Cruciverbacomics (challenge accepted!) the subject of a guest page was breached.
Peej and I jumped at the chance to portray the characters of Arkerra in the most outlandish way possible. Maybe it was the hours spent playing Super Mario Bros and Minecraft or something else we found in a cow pasture, but we settled almost immediately on the final concept "Shroom Country."
What ensued was a whirlwind of creativitude. We cashed personal favors and made deals with various devils to get the page done as soon as our own human frailty allowed. After hours of auditions, voice recording, re-takes, foley, art and animation; it's done! Not a bad holiday season.
Big thanks to everyone involved:
Greg Benge (A,W) - Gravedust Deserthammer, Shroom
Keith Lough - Music
Nina Osegueda - Frigg Akerfeldt
Jamee T Perkins - Syr’Nj
Corinne Simmers - Bandit Keynes
PJ Simmers (W) - Payet Best, Byron Hackenslasher, Shroom
Phil Kahn and T Campbell of course.
Hello SJ crew! Sorry about the long hiatus. Bengie and I took a break over the holidays to enjoy time with our families. Once that was over we hit the ground running getting our secret project finished and ready to roll out. What is that project you ask? All will be revealed tomorrow. With all of that accomplished SlackJaw will now resume it's regular schedule starting next week. Thank you all for your patience!
