Welcome fans to Saturdays blog. I hope you all enjoyed the last Shoofly, I know I had alot of fun trying to figure out what I was going to do with it, as well as a lot of fun drawing it. I ended the comic because I just had no clue where I was going to take it, and was getting more and more ideas for another comic, the one that will be taking over pretty soon. When I fell behind on it, I thought it was going to be alot harder to keep up, since I was finding it hard to write, because I never planned it out, and I was have a hard time finding time to draw everything. But with the new one coming up, Minimum Wage, I have a story, and jokes, kind of planned out in advance, and my time has freed up a bit, as pretty much all of the people I hang out with do nothing but sleep, giving me more then enough time to work. And in Minimum Wage, Sasha will be one of the cast members. Now as far as Manny and Marty go, well I will be doing something with them, I am just not sure yet as to what that something is going to be. But as soon as I figure it out, well then you will be the second ones to know. So I will be working on MW, but until it is ready I will be giving Not @ All a five day a week schedule. So check back on Monday and see what odd things having running through my head as of late. Until then, take it easy out there people.

Howdy folks, DVid here to present the last episode of Shoofly. Now this is not a sad thing, as I said before, all of these characters will be back in some form or another. I thought since I was going to end it, I would end it with a big bang, and what is bigger a bang then ending it with Sasha saying she is preggers. So tomorrow I will kind of go into detail, or as much as I can, about what the future holds for this little haven of mine.

-DVid

Well ladies and germs, this is the last Shoofly before the big finale. How will I decide to end Shoofly, and what will become of the characters? You will have to keep coming back to see what I decide to do.

Hey there gang!! DVid here yet again. Just wanted to point out that I rushed through this one yesterday, to get it up for today. But I am very happy with the way it came out. The only thing I dont care for, and its on me, is that I cant seem to find a definitive shape and design for Justin. But that may change in the near future, something I will go into more detail on Saturday.

-DVid

I find myself rushing to get things done and out on time. Which I dont like, as I like to take my time on my work, to try and polish it as best I can. But the bright side of it, is that I am getting quicker at producing my art, and I an not at all displeased with my work, I just wonder how it would look if I did take more time on it.

As I write this I am wondering what the future has in store for Shoofly. And with this I can say that I do not know for sure. I will go into more detail when Saturday rolls around and I write my weekly update. One little note here is that I am not liking the look of that old school phone up there. Oh well, see you folks on Saturday.

Hope you all had a wonderful New Year, and are now fully prepared to get 2013 going. Im glad the world did not come to and end, however, now I must also figure out what to do with my comics. I have a few plans in mind, but now is not the time to get into them. But soon I promise.

-DVid

 

Holy crap am I tired! I hate falling behind on this comic, but at the same time I love it. This is by far one of my favorite comics that I have drawn. It was just so much fun to draw, and so much fun to plot out. I will be spending New Years day today, playing a few video games, watching a Dark Knight marathon, and most importantly, working on this comic, as I want to do everything in my power to reproduce the amount of fun and love that went into this page. Hope you all have a wonderful New Year.

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe New Year. I would say I will see you all next year, but that line seems a bit played out. So I will just say I hope we all have a wonderful 2013.

Hope this one does not come off as too weird, it really shouldn't, but I wanted to try something different with the background and captions. Also I worked like hell to get Sasha looking right, and it was damn hard to get her to look even decent. The hardest part of being an artist, to me at least, is getting the images from your head to look as good as they do on paper, so to speak. All and all, not a bad effort for another rush job, and in the end I can walk away happy with it.

 

Just a quick not for everyone. The past few strips, and even some of the future ones are going to be kind of rushed. So I am going to be cutting back on a few things, mainly the written parts of the blog, and the Sunday pinups, and maybe even the Not @ All stuff. I want, need, and think that people deserve art that had been better prepared and had more time put into it. There is more I want to say, but will be holding back for now so I can further explain some future plans I have in store.

Hey ya out there in internet land! DVid here on the day after Christmas to wish you a happy and healthy rest of the year. The presents are all unwrapped, and by now we have either stood in the a crowded area in the hopes of returning that one crappy gift that we all got. As well as playing with all the new goodies that we got. Some where in between all of that, I have found the time to do today's Shoofly comic. One that I have to admit that I rushed through. So as of right now I have no idea how it turned out as I am in the midst of fighting off the sandman as I type, so as I can put this comic up on time. Hell I dont even have a caption for this one. But the important thing is that I got it up.

And with that, I think it is time we call it a day, or night, depending on what part of the country you are on. Untill next time, I will catch ya all later.

And a merry Christmas to you all out there. I hope you have all awakened to wonderful gifts and all the things that your heart did desire. Well now that the mushy crap is out of the way let us move on to some other business. I am about to start work on the after Christmas stuff of Shoofly, and if I can ever pull myself away from my game, I will start mapping out some of next years story lines. That's right, there will be story lines. Im not going to say what I have in mind, as it can change before I put it down on paper, or computer screen as it would seem to be with me. But it is some stuff that I am hoping will gather the attention of more people so we can really start to build a much larger audience. Now before I let you all go here, I do have another Christmas poem to share, a quick one that I jotted down. Here it is.

It is here, it is here,A time of joy,
A time of cheer,
all the girls,
and all the boys,
wake up early,
to play with toys,
in the kitchen,
cooks a turkey,
cooks a ham,
for its is Christmas sir,
it is Christmas ma'am,
fill a cup,
and have sip,
pour some brandy,
and have a nip,
maybe just a slice,
of the fruit cake,
would be nice,
still in the kitchen,
dinner cooks,
turkey, beef or ham,
for it is Christmas sir,
it is Christmas ma'am.

Alright then gang, that is going to do it for Christmas with Shoofly. Sorry I did not have a funny cartoon for you, but sometimes it is damn hard to write something funny every day, as you can tell from my track record. Anyways, have a good rest of the holiday, and check on back again tomorrow.

A Merry Christmas Eve to you all out there in the internet land. This was a tough one to do today, as I have recently rented a new game that I wanted to try out before I decided to go out and buy, and the game has slowly but surely taken over my life. But I made sure to make time to do some drawing, and update this ol home of the characters of Shoofly. I also have a little poem that I would like to share with you all here today, just a little something that I jotted down for the Christmas season. A quick side note about tomorrow. See with tomorrow being Christmas and all, and me having some major trouble coming up with something cool for a Christmas comic, I drew up something that does not really tie into this story. But I still want to try and do one that does tie in. So I am going to try my hardest to come up with something extra for everyone, but if not I do have some goodies for Christmas.

And now let us end with a little Christmas Eve poem that I put down on paper for you.

Upon this wonderful night,
one is to believe,
that magic does exist,
here on Christmas eve,
For it is this night of all,
when you'll hear bells that jingle,
as fast he approaches,
him, Kris Kringle,
A man of such girth and wonder,
who will holler out ho's,
while the children slumber,
He will slide down the chimney,
a sack full of goodies,
only to stop,
for some milk and cookies.

Alright then folks, that will do it for today, check back again tomorrow for the Christmas special, and to all a wonderful night.

It's Friday, the last day of the week before Christmas. We are so close now that I can almost taste the eggnog and fruit cake. Lets get into a Shoofly comic, a quick letter to Santa, and then you can all get on with your day and get ready for the weekend.

And here is yet another letter to Santa.

Dear Santa,

I now that you are real busy this time of year with all the letters and everything. And I know that people are asking for all kinds of crazy things. But this year all I really want is for the WWE superstar, The Miz, to become the WWE champion again. I really liked him as champion and think he is a great talent for the WWE. If you can make this happen at all, I would really appreciate it. But if you can't do that, I would not mind a hot girl in a red bow waiting for me under the tree to.

- Kevin

I too would really like to see that. Well that will do if for today people, check back tomorrow for the last Christmas Not @ All comic.

-DVid

Five days to go, and as we get closer and closer, I work harder and harder to finish stuff up. It's hard to keep up on all the things that I have to do to prepare for Christmas, among those being me working on finishing up the comics for the rest of this year. And speaking of comics, lets get into some Shoofly.

And now here is another letter to Santa.

Dear Santa,

Hey there big guy. I just wanted to write to you and let you know that I happen to like big hairy guys. And I find red and white to be very sexy colors. When you stop by my house this year, I have much more then milk and cookies waiting for you. I went out and bought a sexy little, and skimpy, outfit that I think you will really like. There is more fabric in a dinner napkin then there is in my special little outfit for you. Cant wait to see you this year Santa, I will turn you from a saint into a sinner.

- Chuck

Ok, that one creeped even me out. Well folks, thats it for today, I will see you all again tomorrow.

-DVid

Six days to go until we get to open presents people! I know I am sure as hell hoping for a stocking loaded with money. Well enough about me and what I want for Christmas, lets get to the goodies with today's Shoofly.

 

And now for another letter to Santa.

Dear Santa,

I'm just going to cut right to the chase. I have been very bad this year, I know that. I have been in fights, I have taken money from my brother, and switched my sisters birth control pills with tic tacs. I shaved the cat, and I put gay porn in my dads briefcase among other things. So I know that I am not going to get anything this year. I am just writing this to tell you that I loved every minute of it, and I will continue to do it. See I figured something out fat boy, I don't need you anymore, I have parents that will buy me things to try and keep me from going too far. So you can take that lump of coal you got for me and stick it up your ass. Bite me you fat sack of crap.

- Billy "The Bad Boy"

Well that is one kid that makes me wish I was shooting blanks. Thanks for stopping by folks, I will catch you tomorrow for more of what I got, and what you want .... Shoofly.

-DVid

And we are now at seven days and counting until the big day. It is really coming up on us fast, and I am damn sure not ready. Still have plenty of presents that still need to be wrapped, as well as a few handmade items that need to be finished. What can I say, I am a procrastinator. Well enough about my failure at the holidays, lets get in on some Shoofly.

Ok, lets take a peek at another Christmas letter to ol' Saint Nick.

Dear Santa,

Hello there big guy, I am hoping that I will have lots of presents under the Christmas tree this year. But what I would really like to have this year is a new baby brother. And I know I know, you will just tell me to talk to my mom and dad, but the thing is, my dad is always away on business, and my mom just locks herself away in her room. The odd thing is that is sounds like she is shaving in there as it sounds like my dads razor. Often times she comes out of there tired and complaining about my dad. This is where you come in. See I have heard the song, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, and know that you have a reputation for this. I was hoping that if I lit some candles, left out some wine, and and put on a Barry White CD, like what my parents used to do, you could put a baby in my momma like my daddy did. Anyways, thank you in advance for taking this into consideration. And also give my thanks to Mrs. Claus for pimping you out, as my friends older brother likes to say.

-Joel

And on that note, I think its best we part ways for today. Thanks one and all for dropping by and I hope to see you all again tomorrow for more of this holiday week here with Shoofly.

-DVid

And the count down begins ladies and gentlemen. We are eight days until the big day, that awesome day where we gather with family, good ones and bad, and open presents and eat food. That's right, we are eight days from Christmas people. But before that happens, lets check in with the gang from Shoofly and see what is going on.

Well it looks like Manny may have discovered the present that Sasha got for herself. So I know I do the whole fan letters thing and all, but since we are this close to Christmas, I wanted to try something else instead. I thought it would be fun to put up some letters to Santa. Now you may be wondering how I came into possession of these wonderful treasures. Well I know a few people who wrote some letters and wanted the world to read them. So lets see what the first one has in store for us.

Dear Santa,

I have been good this year, well as good as I could be since I am a professional drunk. I did not get into too many any fights, and only drank clear liquids, granted they were of the vodka, rum, and gin variety. Now if you are wondering about that arrest for public urination, well it was not my fault, as I could have sworn that I was in a bathroom, and that the cops leg was a urinal. But now he knows the difference between being pissed off and being pissed on, just as I know the difference between life beating me down and a burly cop beating me down. But the point of all of that, was that I learned my lesson. Now to the point of this whole letter, I was hoping that I could get a new liver, as the one I am sporting seems to have seen better days, and has reached its limits in the amount of alcohol it can now take. Thank you for your time, and thank you even more if you actually read this letter instead of just putting it through the shredder like I was expecting. Have a Merry Christmas.

-Whiskey Joe

All right gang, that is going to do it for this Monday, I will see you all again tomorrow.

-DVid

Well gang, we have made it to yet another Friday, and have survived to yet another weekend. And I am betting that this week was a hard one for a lot of you, so I get the feeling that you will be looking forward to this weekend. But before we get that, watching football, playing video games, and going to parties and such, we must first get our daily dose of Shoofly. 

Ok, two quick notes about this one here today. First off, I had a blast doing this one, really putting myself to the test with it. And for the most part I liked the way it all came out except for that car that is sitting behind Justin up there. But I have never been that good at cars, but am going to have to continue to work on them. Now the second thing I want to point out here, is that there is no joke in this one today, and that is a little sign of some things to come. See, as much as I like doing the humor, which I will continue to do, I also like telling a story. So I am going to be throwing in some drama here and there to see if you people will get to care about the characters in more then just a comedy way.

Alright people, I will not keep you here any longer, I know you want to get out there and get the weekend started early. So go, have fun, live it up. But don't forget to take time out to check in tomorrow for a new Not @ All.
