I don’t plan to make a habit of posting videos, but this one was too rich.

=====UPDATE=====

To give you some context for the piece mentioned in the video, here is the site for the main push, Hip Hop Government, and here is a local rapper, Dooney Da Priest, on whose site you’ll hear the upbeat zinger Pull Your Pants Up. Even better, it autoplays!

And finally, here is a PSA poster submitted by loyal LOLZer, Matt from NC. Thanks, Matt.

This marks an experimental phase for LOLZIES!!1@!. I don’t mean “experimental” in that pretentious way it is often used, which is as a substitute for the honest sentence, “No one understands my flights of esoteric fancy.” What I mean by “experimental” is that I’ll be experimenting with various tools (pen nibs, brushes), character design and story lines as I try to make a move toward the traditional methods of cartooning. I have a little too much digital in my life right now, so this will be good for me in several ways.

One other reason is my looking a little bit into the future for LOLZIES!!1@!. If I ever wanted to print a collection of my comics for sale, I would be in a real pickle because of the limited license I have on all the stock photos I buy each week. But if I illustrate them myself, I own them entirely and can print as many as I like (which will really only be one copy for my parents and one for my wife).

Anyhow, here we go. Thanks for reading.

Love,

Charlie
