Dissect My Brain in HUBY Zine #2: "The Other Guy."


Dissect My Brain rolls along with its second installment in HUBY. I really like this strip. Most people I've shown it around to before I finished it really like the way I drew the creeper. I tried to make him look like Michael Cera. Of course, I gave him that stereotypical villain moustache just to punctuate: this guy is up to no good. (Strangely enough, I think that moustache has become a fashion trend.)

While I really like this strip, I do think the whole jealousy angle is a familiar trope. I'm not really saying anything new with this one. . . I'm just saying it in the "Kevin Ng" kind of way. The whole joke of "reliable, admirable, lovable" is a re-worded joke from the show, Red Dwarf. I tried really hard to come up with something of my own, and no matter what: this was the joke that needed to be in this strip. It's not exactly the same as the joke from the show, but it's close enough.

The shirt in this strip is of "Fuzz Aldrin," which you can get at the Ex-Boyfriend shop.
I was flattered that the owner is a fan of the comic as well as my lo-budget short film,
"Who's Gotta Door, Bro."

Of course, I am a big fan of theirs, and would've never expected them to be a fan of mine.
