Hiatus

We here at the old Yew and Me are going to be taking a bit of a break from making comics, as both of us are way too busy to comprehend, but do not fret! we will return, bigger and better than ever! It's also entirely possible we will toss in a comic or two if we have the time, but come summer, we will be back on our once a week schedule.

Over and out.

An apology

As you may have noticed, there is in fact, no comic this week. An unfortunate event as this is, do not lament! there should with all hope be something for next week. The fact is that I am in Maine, with Ash soon to join me, as we are playing a show at Andy's Old Port Pub. So if you're in the Portland area, you should come out and see us! If not we should be delivering you a fine piece of comedic literature soon enough.

A note from the artist

I too, apologize for the rampant lateness of the comic, I am, as Ash said already- quite busy. I'm currently working on a piece for a show that our friend Kohl is putting together, entitled "And the moral of the story is..." and being myself, I decided to wait until crunch time to finish things up. I will most definitely post the piece when I am done with it, if only to prove to you my extracurricular endeavors.

That being said there were a few things that I wanted to say about this weeks comic.

The first of which is that I hate the scanners in our library a great deal. I had initially planned for this weeks comic to be done in pencil, with some lovely shading, subtle nuances, soft tones, and other things that make you feel warm and fuzzy on your tender bits.

BUT ALAS! The great gods of scanning were not with us this night!

So instead I present to you a slightly different style of comic, I used India ink and a bamboo pen, and *drumroll* I colored it! but you would never know that from looking at it because once again...the scanners hate me, and do not scan in color.

I do hope you enjoy this weeks comic, however, because despite the devilry that is modern technology, i did enjoy making it. Ink has always held a special place in the shard of flint that I pass off as a heart, and I hope you enjoy its archaic simplicity as much as I do.

Over and out,
Moss

I know I know

Yes, the comic is a little late this week. We've both been really busy. Moss has been especially busy and being as he draws the comic his busi-ness tends to be our major drawback.

You'll notice that the style is new...again...

The pitch black of the ink splattered across the page brings me back to a simpler time. It reminds me of the ol' asylum. Boy, do I ever miss the Rorschach tests...

But as stated before, we are ever so busy right now. Natural Wood (our band) is going to be playing a gig up in Portland, ME. And that is "Maine" not "Me." So we've been pulling together set lists and practicing while struggling through midterms week.

So once again, I beg you for your forgiveness.

The Comic

The Creeping Moss

Hola, my fine feathered fans. I'm posting mostly for the sake of it, to lift the shroud of mystery that has been for so long draped across 1/2 of this most dynamic of duos.

I would, however like to take this time to say, as Samuel L. Jackson once did, to hold on to your butts- grasp them as you would a small Belgian midget who has just stolen your wallet. As I intend on taking you all on a lovely journey with me as I struggle with the technology of our times and eventually settle on how I want this comic to look.

Do not lament if you see things that frighten! confuse! or possibly arouse you. Just know that, like the misadventures you once had with your creepy uncle in the hall closet, it will all be over soon.

I hope he was gentle.

-Moss

The things we do for you.

I hope you're happy...

You come home with your list of demands and we bend over backward to satisfy you. Maybe you are the bread winner, the bacon bringer, but we're the ones at home taking care of the children! We're the ones cleaning the house all day! We're the ones making your metaphorical steak and potatoes! But it's never quite enough is it? Maybe tonight you'll want to try something new in bed?

Well we're tired and our dainty little feet could use a good rub!

I hope you're happy...

The Ongoing Quest for Technology

These statements are, topically, about a week late.

I'm sure, nay, positive, that we are not the first to make a point of Apple's latest endeavors, but we felt we could go a step further. Why look to past events when we can instead look to the future of the industry? To what other meaningless devices can we attach the prefix "i"? What can we expect these devices to do? And do we even care?

The answers lie within.

Here's the Comic.
