I'm Feelin' Very APE, So Let's Milk It!
It's their best album, emmmmmuhrite?
Anygulderners, O Immaculate Reader, the HMS Employees Three (Slave Daves and moi-meme) will be exhibiting for our third time at the eclectic comic gathering known as the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco this Saturday and Sunday. There's gonna be all this great stuff there which you can preview electronically here.
But more importantly, lik-uh-sed, we will be there. Sitting! Staring! Getting Hungry!
Come check us out since we'll be showing our immaculate (not as immaculate as you, scrumptious Reader, ne'er fear!) comic'd novels, PROGRAM and Liberation Sea.
For the very few of you who have not heard of these picture books with words on top of the pictures, here's a brief summary:
PROGRAM: A four volume science-fiction story about a man who can control all the cells in his body via sending his mind to an inifinite abyss and manipulating himself there*. In the last volume, he stumbled upon some lovely fellows, the Plasmads, who evolve throughout their lifespan, gaining not only new limbs and organs, but emotions, as well. There's also a cool chick named Smythe. We're hoping SyFy is reading this blog because it's right up their alley, emmmmmmuhrite?!
Liberation Sea: A seven volume war drama set in the African and Italian campaigns of Dubya Dubya Two, following a disillusioned private and his struggle to maintain his resolve amid the relentless horrors of those years. I promise, tanks explode and there's snipers and all types of fiery awesome death shit that will make you forget about said horrors and realize how awesome war is! Hey, maybe that private guy should just read this book! Meta!
We'll also be shilling the 24 Hour Comic, "The World Unseen," which you can see for you entirety and print it out for yourself, here! But if you're a Virtuous Human, you'll come by and purchase it so as to lessen the plight of these comic bookers and give a slight hope to their blatantly childish dreams.
Hope to see you there, Core Goodness of Humankind!
*Yes, there actually is masturbating in it! Meta!

Hard, Sweaty Labor-Fruits!
And naught but a week later what do we see-eth, O uncouth, swine-bred Reader?
The fruits of that papery gauntlet, the 24 Hour Comic Challenge!
I finished the 24th page around 5 a.m. making it a 17 hour comic in actuality, but I'd gotten very little sleep the night before (foresight!) and knew that I would have to work fast, lest the dread demons of Fatigue and Madness take over this handsome gentleman's even more handsome brain.
In all serious-mindedness, O lard-laden Reader, this was a particularly lovely joy for me to partake in. An invigorating experience I hope to recreate each month, but perhaps with more rest and less beer, beer, beer (hindsight!).
And here's to Matt Hales for being a cool table-sharer guy. Go forth, recess'd, depress'd Reader most patriotic, through this portal and see his wonderments!
Of course, HMS heartily thanks Leef Smith, proprietor of the fantastic Mission: Comics & Art, for being a radical fellow and housing our unwashed hides for so long. Huzzah for his portal as well, O gun-cleanin' Reader!
So much ado! (This'd better be good):
Super special thanks to mon frere, Dave, who stuck it out with me during the longest hours!
Also, thanks to Scott McCloud, because, duh.

Reach for the McClouds!
Drop your large sand o' wiches, your freezing soda jugs and your basket of fried grease fries, O Heavenly Reader! If you haven't heard from the eagles divinely and spontaneously learning to speak English and barking loud and low the News of the Century, then take your face out of that hamburger beef pie, O Masterly Reader, and read for yourself!
I have accepted that papery gauntlet, the 24 hour comic challenge!
Along with all the other beautiful, rich cartoonists I will endeavour to create and craft a full 24 page comic in 24 hours.
The event is taking place across the entire Human Civilization, but I will wrestle with that thin, unheavy gauntlet at the wonderful Mission: Comics & Art.
So, O Ghostly and Unyearn'd-for Reader, come see me put a pencil in my skull and write the comic in my own mind fluid!
TECHNICAL DATA: Mission: Comics & Art, 3520 20th St. (Btwn. Mission & Valencia)
October 3rd @ 11:00 a.m. to October 4th @ 11:00 a.m.

Humans Allowed at Superior Mammal Convention
Press your ear low, low to the ground intrepid Reader and you would still not be able to hear the ultra-hawt newz of this, the Day: Hollow Moon Studios will be attending the Alternative Press Expo (or APE, as the weak-minded truncheon carriers put it) this October!
Yes, yes, we've been there before. Yes, yes, we rocked the shit into vaporous farts. Yes, yes we made all the money to fund our android army, Robotz Gotz Shotz.
But that was under the hideous, ill-conceived ILAD Studios name! And lo, the Ancient Records of Awesome Fights shows that we, the HMS Employees Three, destroyed the malformed, but spirited Eye-Lad and smote his ruin all over the moutainside.
ANYGULDERNWAY, the Alternative Press Expo is a great con, with all types of innaresting comic folk bustling about. Plus, Jeff Smith will be there!
So come there to see us come there and see Jeff Smith.
Also, Jeff Smith!

A webcomic adventure (and wildly fail-able experiment)!!
O ho ho, my sweet Reader! Have ye kept vigil, shaking your rusty lantern into the cold, swarming darkness of this, The Internetz? Have ye yearned for an update from the wondrous handsomes known as the HMS Employees Three?
A feisty hoo-rah is now delivered to your brain for here is the tumultuous volley of The Huntress, the first Hollow Moon webcomic!
In all super crazy seriousness, my electronically-lubricated Reader, this is new, slimy waters for us here at HMS Compound. Bear with our calloused hands and burnt-out minds.
Without further (ado)!!:

Applepomme Pummels the Comix Competition!
Hey comic enthusiasts and dashing lotharios! Thought we'd showcase some work from the delightfully wonderful ApplePomme. AP is the random brain misfirings of J.A. Kordosh (under the ridiculously masculine pseudonym, Jiji.)
You won't know what to expect when reading each ApplePomme, but certainly you will have wasted precious time.
One can't help but wonder about Jiji's mental health...
... he clearly needs to sort out a few things...
... but that shouldn't prevent us from enjoying!
