Corporate Life #4 Director's Commentary




I like Zombies, what can I say? Who doesn't? Ever since watching Dawn of the Dead and playing Resident Evil video games, I've had a healthy obsession with them, so of course naturally we needed a Zombie in Corporate Life.

Help me in welcoming Dave the Zombie to the wonderful world of Corporate Life. He's basically the 'nice guy' at the office. Everyone has one of those 'nice guy' friends, you know the one I'm talking about. He's the guy you ask for favors all the time such as covering your ass when you make a mistake, or grabbing you a coffee when you're too lazy to stand up from your seat. I like nice guys. I'm not one myself, but I like them.

So Megan Fox, what can I say about her? If anyone deserves to get eaten, it's her. I know what you're thinking you perverts. Anyways Tyrone did a hilarious job in capturing Megan Fox's head. Funny funny stuff, but that's because I wrote it. Hahaha.

No go and do something productive, like telling your friends about us.

Peace!

Happy New Years!!!!

Yeah yeah yeah, I know, I've been falling behind. The holidays have caught up to me but with a New fantastic year ahead, Tyrone and myself are ready to rock and roll with more amazing Corporate Life strips.

Make sure you tell all your friends about Corporate Life, otherwise you might get herpes. Yes you heard me, herpes. You don't want herpes do you? You do know that it stays with you for the rest of your life.

Corporate Life 3

Ah yes, the soon to be famous Corporate Life #3. Before every post comes up on Corporate Life, I tend to show it a few lucky individuals to get a general consensus...and boy was this one all over the map.

Tyrone himself even suggested a revision to it, which in the end I agreed with. For all your viewing pleasures, here is the final strip followed by the original one.


Here we can see the punchline from the Sasquatch as being 'My penis is bigger than yours"...random yes but it's all in the name of character building for our big furry friend. You'll get to see more of him in the near future and his obsession with his member.

Okay here was the original proposed strip.

When I first wrote the original cartoon, I thought it was funny, but apparently not everyone else shared my sense of humor. I guess I'm the only one who finds clubbing a baby seal with an appendage funny. Tasteless humor, yes and guaranteed to spark controversy to all those animal rights activists out there.

And as always here was the original and spectacular hand drawn piece of art.





Well that's a wrap everybody. Until next week where we promise you.....ZOMMMMBIES!

Corporate Life #2


Here it is, Corporate Life #2. Basically I wanted to establish the Ninja in an office setting so I thought why not start off with a job interview. Now I don't know about you guys, but from my work experience, Human Resources are always the most screwed up people. Go figure seeing as how they are the ones that interact with everyone. Basically for the Ninja, the interview was simple. Kill the HR guys ex-wife and the jobs is his. Whether or not the Ninja actually does it will remain a mystery...it's one of those let the reader decide what happened type of things. Deep eh?
Okay and I know this is what you've all been waiting for, the original drawing. Notice how much more freakier the HR guy looked. Tyrone decided to clean him up a bit and make him more presentable.



Cheers everyone.

Corporate Life #1 Commentary

So the entire basis of Corporate Life #1 was to introduce the Ninja character and connect him to the readers. Oh and yes...to also have one male call another a bitch. Seriously, I don't know why but it's funny to me. Go up to the first male you see and call him a bitch. I'm laughing, aren't you?
Moving on I decided what better way to set up a scene with a Ninja than in a dojo and of course you can't have a dojo without a Master, thus the Ninja Master was born. A man with many wise words including calling his pupil a 'Son of a bitch'. Haha, funny funny.

Okay for those that have not seen it yet, here it is.

Artwork was done by Tyrone McCarthy and its fantastic as always. Here's the original just to throw it in there. I had no clue what I was doing while drawing but for some reason I had the the beard for the Ninja Master grow out of his mask. Tyrone was faithful to the source material and thus he went with the bearded mask as well. Crazy stuff.


Alright, I'm out. Peace bitches!

The Birth of an Idea

Many people have called me a lot of things. I've been called 'smart, cute, charming, conceited, idiot, athletic, french (I'm not french btw)' but the one thing I have never been called was an artist. So when me and a bunch of my buddies were sitting around brainstorming ideas for the next big money making thing (they were artists by the way) and I made the bold statement "Hey, I can draw too and make us some money", they all laughed at me.

Now there are three things you should know about me.

1) I never back down from a challenge.
2) I go out of my way to prove people wrong.
3) I always win.

So after the my buddies burst out laughing at the bold statement that I could draw the next great idea, I set out to prove them wrong. I grabbed a piece of paper and lead pencil and began furiously doodling and out came this masterpiece.

That's right, bask in this amazing glory. Every single line and detail, created with precision and care. And I didn't even need to go to school to learn how to draw (I'm an engineer). I started off with the Ninja first as the main character and basis of the comic strip. Why a ninja you ask? Well he was the easiest thing to draw...I mean look at the Ninja. He was just a mask with dots for eyes. I thought drawing a Ninja outfit was too typical so instead I gave him a dress shirt and tie, and then history was born. The Corporate Ninja! I was so pleased with myself that I gave my buddies the finger and announced that 'This is the coolest s--t since vodka and red bull" and I continued my drawing fury. Everything was flowing so naturally as I churned out a Corporate Sasquatch, Corporate Zombie, and a Corporate Vampire. My Sistine Chapel was complete!

My buddies looked at it and laughed because their brains were the size of squirrel scrotums but I looked at it and saw a million bucks....and so did one individual named Tyrone McCarthy. Now Tyrone is one of the nicest individuals around (when he's not running around calling me a dick) and he believed in this concept from the beginning. He took Corporate Life and took it to the next level with his amazing vector art skills. I started putting some stories to these wonderful creations and Tyrone finished it off and Corporate Life, the Comic was born.

So to my buddies, (fantastic individuals and great artists in their own right), once again I was right and you were wrong. Who's my bitch?
