on rude bastards...

the loss...

this is the 1st in a series titled:
"How El Barbudo got his beard back" by Monstee

The Sordid Truth...?

Inspired by this post over at Foot Eater's http://fishwhackerswindle.blogspot.com/2006/01/return-of-limericks.html

More Buttons

After the rush, I've had no new scripts for a couple of days, so El Barbudo gave me some suggestions for a few new banners.

Once again, remember to change the square [] brackets for anguar <> ones.

Foot Eater Asks For Help

Anyone new should look here, then here, to put this one in context

Running Totals and New Buttons

Blunt Cogs is now 2 weeks old, and already we've published lots of cartoon strips. Running total for submitted scripts that have been built and put up:

Andraste: 1
Anti-Barney: 3
Binty McShae: 6
Dr Evil Scientist: 5
El Barbudo: 3
Kim: 1
El Barbudo & Kim: 2
Foot Eater: 4
Gorilla Bananas: 2
Hungbunny: 1
Sarah Laughs: 3
Twenty Major: 1, although he's never come back to comment

Now some of you have been to El Barbudo's site, found his Blunt Cogs banner and placed it on your own sites to help promote it. So in honour of this anniversary, I have created a few more collectors edition banners, along with the code you need if you wish to place any or all of them in your sidebars.

Do remember, of course, to exchange the square brackets[] for angular ones<>

Technical Differences

This one was scripted and built by Sarah Laughs. I'm sure feedback would be appreciated

Knock Knock

With thanks to Sarah for building this one - Binty's latest. For those who might be bothered, if you look at the bottom right corner you'll see her different signature icon.

Anonymous Comments

If I ever get another stupid arsehole leaving an anonymous comment on my site slagging me off then I will just refer them to this cartoon strip. Binty, you're a genius and, to use El Barbudo's phrase, I tug my beard with great respect at you.

Capital Punishment

If you're looking for a context for this one then I suggest you follow the postings and comments on Binty's, Kim's and Anti-Barney's blogs on this topic.

Norwegian Bikini Troops

Another from the great Dr Evil

New Look

Just a quick thanks to Kim who's been working to the detriment of his family by revamping the site and creating a really cool header.

I've agreed to let him add advertising to the site to try and earn enough to buy a bunch of flowers to placate his long suffering wife who, I get the impression, isn't so enamoured with all the time he's spending here.

So click on the ads you cunts.

Written Comparisons

If you can't make sense of this, I suggest you visit Dr Maroon's site and read the ongoing installments of his Beggar's Opera

Cry for help

Hi folks,

There is no doubt that we're all having a lot of fun with this, and the scripts are coming in fast and furious. What this means, however, is that I don't have enough spare time to keep up.

What I need are a few people that use (and have a copy of) Photoshop, who would be prepared to help build the strips out of the scripts sent in.

I have created templates for the panels and the characters, so as long as you understand how to use layers, it's basically a cut 'n' paste job

If you are a bit wary about leaving your details here in front of this mad bunch of cartoon characters, then please e-mail me if you can help

For that matter, if there are any "Flash" experts out there who think they could build a character generator, like the SouthPark one, then please let me know. If this takes off, we may have to worry about copyright infringement, so I'd like a plan B option to work on.

Thanks,

Kim

P.S. Please also take the time to comment on these strips - good or bad. Everyone who's taken the time to come up with the ideas and create them and would love to get feedback. If you have to insult, then at least make it witty, or turn it into another script.

Just Say No...

Remember kids - don't do drugs!

Character Witness

This is Binty's first strip

Damien Rice

Who the fuck is Damien Rice? Is this one that's more meaningful to the Irish contingent, or am I just totally un-hip and un-happening, man?

OK Ladies...

The first strip from Dr Evil Scientist. In fact he sent me 2 scripts so I'll upload the next one tomorrow.

Cunt Face

Blood on a Finger

Here's one from Hungbunny. I was going to post it tomorrow but he claims it's his birthday, so this is by way of a wee gift to the sick cunt

Foot Eater Tries Too Hard

This is Foot Eater's first strip. Please feel free to comment/rate/insult as necessary.

Number 2

Sometimes the scripts just write themselves.

Character Profiles

These are the Characters we have so far. Post in the comments what written profile you would like to accompany your image if you don't like what I've written.


El Barbudo
Respect for men who grow beards and women who aren’t afraid of their power. Hates people who refuse to take responsibility for their own life. God is a Cunt


Kim Ayres
Ex web designer with a degree in philosophy. Trying to deal with a mid-life crisis by turning his life upside down to become a writer


Gorilla Bananas
A mature gorilla who has spent most of his youth in human society as a bemused observer


Foot Eater
A body mechanic with the social skills of a cadaver


Joke Mail
A fondness for jokes. Is responsible for more cluttered email boxes than he cares to think about.


Fatmammycat
Bouncy, morally loose and fond of kippers. She wears high heels and has delightful ankles.


Twenty Major
Says he hates zany profiles so he'd better send his own


Anti Barney
If your a purple dinosaur, you're fucked.


Binty McShae
Exporting the finer aspects of Scottish Culture to South East Asia


Dr Maroon
Fuck! I don't believe my eyes! Dr Maroon is trying to look young and boyish so the women will want to mother him. I bet he looks far more like Captain Haddock from Tin Tin in reality, only with more grey hair.


Sexy Beauty
Arty airy strumpet crumpet


Hungbunny
An argumentative little prick (hung like a bunny) with no respect for copyright laws


Andraste
Don't be fooled by that sweet smile and alluring charm: that beer glass will be smashed over your head if you take too long to pay for your candy.


Slim Lindy
Beneath every prim librarian is a bookslut waiting to get out...


Dr Evil Scientist
What's the point of having a world if you can't take it over?


SafeTinspector
He inspects tweed, burlap and hungarian lace. This is all he does, which leaves him with more free time than any robot you know


JustBreathe
When she is up she is up, and when she is down she is down.


Sarah
A photographer and a sex-a-holic; highly addicted to caffeine products; sarcastic.


Redhead
Yes I have 5 children and this is my real waistline. Want to make something of it?


Anonymous Commenter
This is the face of the annoying arsehole who thinks he's so clever by slagging off your blog while hiding his face. With thanks to Binty McShae for creating this one
