He is vengeance. He is the night. He is BatHorse. This strip only exists because of a comment on Friday that I couldn’t leave Faustus without referencing the “horses of the night.” So there. Happy now? Let it not be said that you guys can’t influence the fate of my comics. Author: Christopher Marlowe / [...]
Here’s the thing about Faustus: it actually ends up being rather dull, struggling to take up space within its already meager page count. I mean, there’s just not a whole lot to it worth riffing on after a certain point. Thus, I’m cutting the fat and just jumping ahead to today’s Helen of Troy incident. [...]
Deirdre’s book is entitled “Practical Evil: Seven Steps to a More Demonic You.” I leave the aftermath of this strip to your own fertile imagination. Marlowe’s “Faustus” is actually filled with several subplots that go pretty much nowhere. I suspect this is largely because Kit figured out that he didn’t have enough material to fill [...]
It occurs to me that I never said why I was mentioning the Seven Deadly Sins. Basically, it comes down to Faustus bitching about how his absolute power is lame, and he considers returning to the light side. Lucifer himself shows up and is all, “Yeah… no.” He then parades human embodiments of the Sins [...]
Yes, the comic about “sloth” features artwork I drew in September. Hey, I thought it was funny. Author: Christopher Marlowe / Date of Publication: 1592 / Source: Wikipedia
I’m slowly creating a library of totally useless stock backgrounds. It’s actually really fun, but completely pointless. Still, at least it’s giving these talky comics a bit more variety. Additionally, the copy/paste stuff is giving me more time to work on other comics, which sounds lame if you’re only a fan of Lit Brick, but [...]
So, a recent tweet called attention to the fact that new readers may be confused about something. Thus, to clarify: I am a dude. If I’m not, at least one of you is gonna be really surprised. In the comic, Molly draws Lit Brick (indeed, the standard LB art style is supposed to be “her” [...]
Faustus’ second request makes a lot more sense than his first: he wants a wife. Sadly, Mephistophilis says it’s a no-go, as marriage is a holy act and beyond the means of the dark lord. Given the dubious sanctity of marriage these days, that’s really kind of hilarious. Author: Christopher Marlowe / Date of Publication: [...]
Alright, so it’s starting to get hard to make these strips look interesting. Which is to say, I kind of gave up. Basically, there are just entire scenes of Faustus and his new best friend talking about stuff. Now, the stuff they talk about is all ripe material for the comic, but there’s just no [...]
