What's it been? 2 months? No excuses, just a post, and a promise to be, um... more... faithful?

Here it is, along with the answer to the "Guess the Punchline" contest. Thanks to the one man who entered... it's one more entry than I had expected.

"The Faithful" presents: Guess the punchline contest!!
So here's how it goes:
I'll give a clue about the next strip. Based on this clue, you try to guess the punchline for the new strip. (Click below where it says, "Comments" to voice your guess.)
And the Clue is...
Tonight at Yankee Stadium, the first 18,000 fans will receive a free New York Yankees plush whistle.
Anyone who can guess where this joke is headed will WIN!!
The next strip of "The Faithful" is already written and pencilled, but from one trip to Gillette to my second game at Fenway, time to draw (etc) is diminishing like Tampa Bay's playoff hopes. (...which are gone, by the way.)
Vacation is good. VIVA NEW ENGLAND!!!

#3!!
Going home for a week or two... leaving tonight. Will I have all kinds of spare time to get more done? Or will I be too busy living it up at Gilette and Fenway? We'll see.

The Faithful: Strip #2
Number two is here!! This one is about our sole victory against the Dang Yankees a couple of weeks ago.
I'm learning a lot about how long these things can take, and am still working on ways to get them done a lot faster, without sliding too much in quality.
Hopefully in the near future I will also have a home web page for Soxy and his yet-to-be-revealed pals. Right now, I think I'm scaring hosts away due to borderline copyright infringement.

It's finally happened...
Behold! The very first installment of my new webcomic: "The Faithful".
(Click picture to enlarge.)
I've been wanting to do a webcomic for a few years now (sad as that is), and what mainly took me so long was finding a topic with some staying-power. I had a lot of ideas that seemed funny, but the fire died on them all too quickly. I thought about doing something news-related, so as to always have fresh material to pull from, but that would mean
1- I'd have to watch the news (and probably care), and
2- no more watching the Daily Show until my strip was complete (so as to not be tempted to steal jokes).
The Faithful is an idea that started back in the Springtime, when the Sox were starting a new season, and the Bruins and Celtics were playoff-bound championship contenders. Unfortunately, my new job was very demanding in preparing for the summer busy season, and so "The Faithful" never made it past the phase of a few sketchbook scribblings. Luckily, only a few of those ideas were time-sensitive, and so most of them will be resurrected into future strips.
The subject matter of this first strip is a month past-due, but I had to start somewhere, and this strip does a great job setting the tone for what's to come: Sox loving, Yankee hating, and all kinds of new Red Sox slang terms can be expected to be born here ("Jason B'eh", "Chaps my Sox", etc.).
And so on August 17th, 2009, I post my first strip, about July 14th's All-Star game in St. Louis.
My expectations for postings are once per week, scheduled day to be determined. We will, like Boston, focus on Red Sox first and Pats second, but will not forget about our beloved B's and C's. Branching out from there (Boston College, New England Revolution, etc.) is unlikely. I mean come on, How much can you accomplish in one week?
