A Diversion

August 31, 2010

As I was doing the mugshots in the last comic, I started doodling a “realistic” Herman and thought, hey, why not do some more?

Long story short, I thought these looked neat, in a vaguely unsettling way, and it’s an update now. Enjoy!

    I love how Kate and Penny came out! Wow.

  2. Bah says:

    Thurman looks just a little like he’s related to Kim Jong-il. And if Herman were to die and Thurman inherit his money I have no doubt he would use it to conquer a small country and make his Rock N Roll God dream come true.

  3. DTanza says:

    I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought “Kim Jong-il.” while looking at Thimrod.

  4. Dragonizer says:

    Kate looks pretty darn good, Penny looks alright (but her eyes freak me out for some reason), but Herman and Kim Jong-Thurman… I’m going to have nightmares now. D:

  5. Dead Metal says:

    Damn they somehow give me the creeps, but that might be the 3 hours of sleep I had the last two days …..
    Still pretty cool. Well done!

  6. Baughbe says:

    Thurman better stop giving me that evil-eye or I’ll have to hex his ass.

  7. M- says:

    Damn you’re good, Alex. You should have a gallery up there at DeviantArt. For realz. My fave here is Kate, followed by Penny… and dammit, Herman & Thurman sure are fugly… I think that perhaps you went down too hard on Herman, but that’s just my opinion anyways. All in all a great job, kudos!

  8. Lor says:

    Anyone else reminded of Barney Fife when they look at Herman?
    And yeah Kim Jong-il over there is gonna give me nightmares. 0_o

  9. Mike says:

    @Lor: I’m thinking it now, and I won’t be able to stop thinking it.

  10. Jeff Weiner says:

    Out At Home trading cards! Collect `em all!

    Well, that’s how I see it…

  11. Jackie-O says:

    These are really good. I wouldn’t mind seeing this style more often, if of course you were able to.

  12. Amber Thompson says:

    I like Penny best, she’s a redhead. :)

  13. Otter says:

    The is the reason why we shouldn’t change style from caricature to realistic from one strip to another. :D

  14. Zombie-man says:

    Dude, Herman looks just like Steve Buscemi, at least it does to me . . .

    But Kate looks really pretty!

  15. Me again says:

    Took me a second to recognise Herman without his huge eyes :p

    Penny reminds me of someone. Perhaps it’s that she smiles slightly too broadly and gives people the unnerving impression that she’s about to go for their neck…

  16. Max says:

    Looking at these, it’d be hard to believe Kate would be related to Herman and Thurman.

  17. Tintzone says:

    Huh, Kate looks like me. Scary.

  18. Alex says:

    She takes after her mother, mostly. (pre-disfigurement)

    Like your style lots. Been enjoying the story too.
