My Personal Life
So, I am still sort of working on a very long comic. It is epic, really. Epic! But it also sucks ass, so I’m putting it aside for a while. That’s the problem with big projects. Sometimes they seem like good ideas until you actually execute them. Then they can totally suck.
Fail! Oh well. Whatever. I have wasted days and days on this shit. Here is one panel from the comic, just so you can get the flavor of it.
The biggest problem with all of this is that it has diverted my attention and kept me up late every night trying to figure out how to make the damn Epic Comic work. So I haven’t been posting to the blog enough. And when I don’t post often enough, people email me to see whether I am alive and still updating the blog. Sometimes they make smalltalk so it doesn’t seem like they’re just emailing me to tell me to hurry the fuck up and post something. A lot of people write me with questions. One of the questions I get a lot is how I do the comics.
So here is how I do the stoogepie comics.
I start with a rough sketch. It usually looks something like this.
Then I fill in a little detail, but not too much.
Then I color it in, put in the speech balloons, layer it all on a comic panel in Photoshop, do some touch-up, and — voila! — completed comic!
Sometimes people ask me very specific questions about the shit that I write on the site or stuff that I post. Like, for instance, one dude asked lots of questions about my banner ad.
Lots of questions. How did I get stoogepie.com on the chick’s belly? Did I film it and then composite it? Is the picture of the pig stock footage because I probably do not have a pig in my New York City apartment? Blah blah blah blah blah?
All I have to say is don’t fuck with my pig. Also, if you want for me to show you how to draw a perfect stoogepie.com logo on a naked chick’s belly, bring her on over. Really.
But that brings us to the personal questions. A lot of people ask personal questions, like whether I own my apartment in the middle of Manhattan and how I can afford to live here since I am just a stoogepie and what I do for a living. As for what I do for a living, I. Don’t. Know. I multitask most of my day at the office.
Just like you, I worry that one day the Man will realize that I don’t do a damn thing to make me worthy of the money they pay me. Not. One. Thing. I do spend a lot of time at the office but that’s because where I work, we have interns and they need a guiding hand.
Anyway, I will tell you about my personal life. The truth is, when I am not at the office or making comics or writing for this blog or sleeping or eating or pissing or shitting, my life is like a fucking spy novel. Full of adventure and intrigue and crazy-assed weapons and sexy but dangerous women. Actually, sometimes when I am pissing it is like that, too. But not most of the time. Anyways, my point is that I don’t talk about my personal life a lot on this blog because you can’t fucking handle it. So don’t go emailing me and asking me questions about my personal life when you are not ready to deal with the answers.
That’s all I have to say about my personal life.

Ha ha.
Very nice.
Why am I having trouble coming up with a comment?
I have no idea.
Um....
Yeah.
I have nothing.
I’m sorry.
Hmm. That last strip was a little awkward. I’m back from my week in Missouri, by the way. More about it on my blog.
Hey Zach! Thanks!
Hi Crissy! Don’t be sorry. I am hopeful that the reason I don’t get that many comments is because my blog is so mind-drainingly hilarious that it causes clinical brain fog.
Hey Jesse! Welcome back! I missed you! I’m headed over to your blog now to see what the fuck you have been up to! As for that last comic panel, your feelings say more about you than they do about the comic strip, but that’s what makes you so fucking awesome!
Nice job on Crissy’s Page. Talent. You’ve got it.
You know what? I think that’s exactly it. I’m at a loss because you pretty much say all there is to say and then I’m just like…
*crickets*
That never happens.
Just ask poor Ken.
so many questions answered, yet so many questions remain to be asked…
yes, i agree with my wife, crissy--she’s always got something to say. except to you. i would take that as a compliment.
i love the Gift of the Magi reference, btw. also, michelle is hot, you lucky dog. or is that pig? do you live with the pig? is the pig YOU? an alter-ego perhaps? i’m certainly piggish… erm, porcine i believe the proper adjective is.
this here site is the pinnacle of porcine blogs. don’t let the ratfuckers tell you differently!
I think I like it here a lot.
Hi All! Damn, I am not used to getting so many comments.
Hey Nilsa! Thanks!
Hi Crissy! I would be okay with it if you just left a comment every now and then that said “*crickets*” and nothing more. Poor Ken.
Hi Ken! The pig is just a pig like everyone has. Damn ratfuckers!
Hey Kiala! I’m glad you’re here! I like it here, too.
Amazing stuff man. Just awesome.
photoshop!
*smacks head*
that works a lot better then my MS Paint process....now I just have to learn how to use photoshop, it’s not too hard right?
Hi Chris! Thanks!
Hey Rachel! I smack my head an awful lot, too! I am kind of stoopid so take this comment with a grain of salt, but I think photoshop is a bitch to learn. I know how to do about 10% of what it does and I do not even know what the other 90% is.
funny shit...you are fucking hilarious
So Crissy gets her own comic strip AND a mention in a Stoogepie comic? I think this is almost as good as National Crissy Saves the Day Day.
Hi aznman! Thanks and thanks for stopping by!
Hey Dingo! I hope so because Schmuckytown seems to be ignoring Crissy!
Wow, this is pretty awesome.
I am just saying...make one about me.
MAKE ONE ABOUT ME.
I’m a little drunk.
Hi.
Hi Sarah! Thanks!
Hey Kiala! I’m headed over to your site right now for material. And I’m a little drunk, too. Hi!
19th!
Stoogepie, you’re a celebrity!
Keep up the good work!
Since I can’t stand an uneven number, I’ll round this off to an even 20. Keep up the good work, Stooge.
