A video of my little girl care of Youtube. She walks for the first time on film! For all of you who don't get to see her as often as I do.

Dear denizens of the Earth,

One thing has startled me about all this debate concerning the warming of your globe. All the debate over whether or not it is a bad thing seems to have ended, we are all in relative agreement that the globe is getting warmer. It seems that now the majority of peoples are argueing over who caused it to get warm. Did humanity do it, or is it a natural process?

Who cares? We have the technology to stop it and not stopping means we die. If it is a natural process and we kill of some shit, it's better than killing off everything! Seriously, who gives a red God damn who lit the house on fire, just put it the fuck out!

I realise logic inevitably fails the human race and we need an enemy to fight befor this thing will be fixed so here it is. I did it. I am taking responsibility for global warming. I have charts, log books, 'Kris' Global Warming Scheme' DVDs... I've got it all.

Now that you have a scape goat stop destroying my daughter's future.

Sincerely,
Kris

Ride into the Danger Zone?

And so it's official. Cape Breton's newest theatre troupe is "The Danger Zone?" I've used quotations to highlight the joke in the punctuation. I won't do that often so keep up. Also future fans please remember, the title is an inquiry so intone it thusly!

Anyone wandering in from the Digital Webbing direction may remember me ranting about a shadowy prank Improv group. Likely you may not so I'll explain the evolution of The Danger Zone?.

Back in December, I severed my affiliations with Improv U over some bad water. Though my severance was honest and remained true, all bad feelings were put aside but through it Dave AuCoine misposted, or posted it remains unkown, a comment about Improv V. A legend was born.

Mocking ourselves in the process the former members of Improv U as well as about half the current members made about a weeks worth of jokes about Improv V until one day Dave phoned me from Toronto. How funny would it be if Improv V was real he asked. The plan was to continue talking about Improv V, it would become for everyone an old joke. No one outside the V would know the truth and they would wonder why we continued to rant about V. We even set up a V message board and created a V-psuedo religion involving the "essence of V" and the "power of five blades with the precision of one". The punchline was everyone else thought Improv V was a bad joke, when in fact six of us would show up at the improv competition in Wolfville in March under the name "Improv V". Finally in true WWF style we'd be the "villains" of the event. Yeah it was gonna be pretty sweet, but like all things when only one group of people know the answers, the other group of people tries to guess.

They guessed we were planning to embarrass them, and so long story short we scrapped Improv V. Why let that ruin your plans you ask? We didn't.

So there you have it, the members of Improv V have disbanded and out of those ashes has come a new idea. Many of us post V were talking and realised that there were some people who just wanted a theatre group to have fun with, as opposed to the psuedo proffesionalism of Improv U. In fact some people from U and people from neither U nor V were interested as well. We decided to form a new group called The Danger Zone? and go to the AUIC anyway.

I think it's gonna be pretty sweet chillin' at the AUIC with some of the best performers in Nova Scotia and beyond and in the meantime we get to explore some venues that currently don't get explored in Cape Breton.

We can only see where the future takes us as we venture deeper into... The Danger Zone?

Meet Bill Promo 2

Made another promo using a different colouring technique. I like this look better. Oh and James, it's the door to door organ donation techs again, in fact here is one in this promo!

And you can have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down.

Ok so comments are mostly not working. James claims to have commented on the first Bill sketch posted below, myself I posted in that same comment thread as well. You can see niether of our comments are there. Why this is I don't know so if you feel there is something you'd like to say about one of my posts email it to me, kris.doucette@gmail.com . Seriously, I like email and don't get nearly enough of it.

Anyway I'm stoked about doing Meet Bill... again. Anyone not in the know the elipsis are part of the title not my sarcasm. Series two is going to be seriously different from Meet Bill... series one.

You can see an example of the original series above. The most glaring difference is that this series will be hand drawn. The original series was more motivated by bilking money from the Caper Times than anything else. The calibre of the original series however was that of "Stick Sense" as opposed to the tripe found there now. Anyway the original Bill was also very neo-absurdist comedy, this is something I intend to carry into the new series but with a twist. The story lines in the new series will be more consecutive, also more sensible.

Basically there will be just as much nonsense but it will be surrounded by sense. If that makes sense then you'll probably enjoy.

I intend to refocus and spend most of my creative time on this. That time will be split with my daughter so expect this in the spring.

One more thing, still no liscense. Nova Scotia didn't get my application until Friday past. Yeah I'm pissed. Hopefully I'll be able to teach by March.

Meet Bill promo goes live on Comicspace.com

Just a quick promo made from the below sketch.
