Some of the comics in the next week or two will get instructional. Welcome Heidi! She’s looking to become a new gun owner.
I won’t lie: I have a penchant for redheads. This is not to say I have a “type” of woman I prefer, but it can’t be coincidence that the majority of women I’ve found attractive have, by genes or hair dye, sported some red. Mel does her hair a cherry chocolate every few months, for instance.
It should be noted that FTF is a different setup for me and Mel. On Two Lumps, she drives and I just draw. She sends me a script, she runs the site, she manages the business. I am but a dude who draws cats – I started TL on my own, and quickly ran out of cat jokes. Mel picked up the reins and drove the comic to stardom.
Not so with FTF. This is a much more collaborative work. I came up with the storyline, for the most part, as well as the character designs. I do the art, and most of the direction is my own. That said, Mel often provides the punchline (case in point – Heidi’s last line of dialogue), and she designed the site and runs it. It’s still a collaboration – I just haven’t been THIS much in the driver’s seat since the old days of FLEM, 10 years ago. Feels good, man.
Although I am not fond of his disregard for proper ear and eye protection, I do love FPS Russia’s videos. He gets to use some killer weapons to have fun. I kind of envy him. Only a little, because I live in Texas, and I can call in favors to shoot any of the guns he shoots.
a smalltinyminiscule part of me hates you for living in ‘merica. here in Maryland, the land of the liberals, the regulations chafe like a painfully chafey thing.
For my birthday two years ago, we went out to the Ranch and, thanks to a friend’s dad who owns a gun shop that handles Class III items, got to fire full auto, suppressed, and SBS weapons for one really fine, fun day.
lucky bastard. every time i try to go to an outing like that, something happens…hurricanes, emergency surgery, power outages lasting a week. i keep thinking i’m destined never to play with the really fun toys. pardon me while i pout over here in chafey-land.
Pistachios are pretty nifty.
J, I’m guessing that you probably already know this. For those that don’t, FPS Russian, isn’t. Oleg Volk met him once, on the range. Hilarity ensued.
I tried to get involved with guns and hunting when I was a kid. Neither of my dads (dad and step-dad) would take me seriously. I’m “just a girl” and shouldn’t get my “hands dirty.” WTF?!? and due to finances, I’ve never had the opportunity in Canada’s very limited gun community. Grrrrrr…..mel is soooo HAWT! Guns, hunting, gaming…damn, Dude! You got it all! sigh…Imma jelly up here in the “Great White North.”
