#136 - A Fair Trial

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

Update: Well, this is late, late, late.

This is probably something that is going to be happening every once and a while over the next couple months.

With the baby, my day job (which takes up 12 hours a day), and the lettering gig I’m working on, I have next to zero time for Hate Song. This is not to say that I’m giving it up, not even close, it’s just to say that I might end up missing an update every couple of weeks. I’m gonna try my damndest to not let that happen. I hate missing an update more than you do, trust me.

*******************************

Dudes, I am not going to lie to you.

Right now I am drunk. Really, really drunk. I got as much of the comic done as I could, but there comes a point where you gotta realize that you are too drunk to draw (let alone colour and scan).

Sooo…today’s strip will be uploaded (all proper like) sometime later today, when I am less drunk.

We’ll all just pretend that this is just an excercise in seeing the process of my comic creatin’ ways. We’ll also pretend that I didn’t piss my pants and we’ll also have enough respect so as to not shave off one of my eyebrows as I’m passed out on the floor in a pool of my own vomit(or someone else’s, who knows?) .

p.s. Vodka (because I know you were gonna ask).

    The professional drinkers drink!

  2. Brandon Says:

    One of the most acceptable excuses I’ve evr heard from a webcomic.

  3. Lurpy the Pirate Says:

    Good call dude. On the stopping drawing thing, I mean. Not the vodka thing. Vodka’s fucking terrible.

  4. Ronaldo Says:

    I must agree with Brandon… It’s damn tiring to get all those “oh im not good” “oh my pc is broken” and alike excuses. Say that you are drunk/don’t care a shit for updating/have the head stuck in the toilette and can only take it out by hiring a mechanichal giraffe to flush it already!

  5. Sam K Says:

    Good call on the vodka!

  6. HockeyZombie Says:

    That’s pretty impressive for being vodka drunk. Kudos, libator.

  7. Saladin Says:

    Ah, the joys of being a responsible new parent. I salute you!

  8. DaveyP Says:

  9. justin Says:

    i was wearing scrubs and i got a boner and everyone laughed except one girl who dragged me to the other room and fucked me on the floor

    i stuck it in her pooper

    p.s. beer and rum

    pp - a shot of vodka with a beer chaser is called a kopstot, polish for headbutt
    the more you know

    @ Justin:

    it’s 1) a DUTCH thing, 2) spelled kopstOOt and 3) with genever, not vodka. Maybe they call it different in Poland, damn thieves.

    Nag nag nag ;) .

    Greetings from Amsterdam, Holland.

  11. ninehearts Says:

    you know just cause they call it russian water doesn’t mean you
    drink it like water…

  12. rafael Says:

    i remember the first time i got really drunk with vodka. i couldn’t drink it again for over six or seven months. it was a good way to celebrate my 17th birthday though.

  13. Debbie Says:

    My boyfriend just introduced me to this comic, and already you remind me of people I know and love. I can’t really speak from experience because I have never been drunk enough to piss myself, but I congratulate you for being honest, and doing whatever the hell you feel like.

  14. jack Says:

    Congratulations! I’ve never been piss-drunk.

    How many bottles did you have? ^^

  15. Ravnos Says:

    “you know just cause they call it russian water doesn’t mean you drink it like water…”

    Unless you’re Russian, hence the name.

  16. Jamie lynn Says:

    oh sweet sweet vodka… reminds me of my tequila drinkin days.. anywho do what makes ya happy

  17. bhaal Says:

    justin - whatever this means, it’s certainly not Polish.

    Caracalla - Greetings from one of the thieves, Szczecin, Poland. How can a person from a seemingly very civilized and tolerant country be so ignorant?

    ah btw the comic is truly terrific, I’m going to raise a glass or five to the author tommorow - keep it going!
    And if you think you’re really tough, try rectified spirit with a few drops of petrol and a spoonful of sugar - a traditional drink that’s likely to ultimately alter your views on drinking ;) Cheers, Simon

  18. Bill Says:

    wow, 17 comments on one comic..is that a record? oh crap…this makes 18! congrats on the enebriation, good way to celebrate fatherhood…i hope you tied a few back for your lady since she cant have any (unless she chooses not to breastfeed, then she can go nuts).
    p.s. i hope someone gives you space at that convention, i wanna see a filth hole comic of jamie watching you give some guy head…i’m sure itd be humorous

  19. CindyY Says:

    shit, i just bought two bottles of vodka today.

    had no time for drinking though…

    =C

  20. moxie Says:

    i dig it, really i do. kind of a fill in the comic kinda thing.

  21. rj ireland Says:

    Passing out in your own vomit is so passe. Now some one elses vomit, that’s ART. Beautiful art with chunks of carrot in it.

  22. irgeek Says:

    ya. I feel your pain. I was too drunk to read this anyway. Paying for it now :-/

  23. Joker540 Says:

    i loved the comment about getting drunkk in scrubs and fucking the girl in the arse….

    i was susposed to do some painting today, but my roomate is downstairs breaking up with his girl friend… lol she is wailing like a banshee

  24. Earl Madness Says:

    …Was it potatoe vodka distilled from the scrapings behind a fastfood resturant mixed with watered gin and the small ink drippings of a fauly 409 Limited Edition Inkjet printer?…Becasue i bet ten rubles then that you got jipped on the price. thought someone hacked the site for a second I saw today’s.

  25. Brien Says:

    bhaal, are you telling people to poison themselves. It sound like you want people to poison themselves.

  26. dave Says:

    i ain’t been able to drink vodka since i split a handle of nikolai with one other person 5 years ago. also, the other person was a girl, so i had more of it than she did.

    ‘course, i’ve had similar morning-after results from drinking entire bottles of cheap whiskey, and me and whiskey still get along just fine. thus, whiskey is superior to vodka, and you should be drinking excessive quantities of that instead.

  27. nicoe Says:

    What is it with diluting your poison with alcohol? I just read in this Mia Couto novel about mixing a drop or two of battery acid in with your xidiba ndoda (apparently “the most virile spirit” — whatever, he’s Mozambiquian, and the whole thing was in Portuguese).

    First time I got drunk on vodka, I puked out of my nose on my friend’s lawn, and the grass never grew in that spot again.

  28. Pastie Says:

    Hey! as a newbie to this site - linked over from Orneryboy - gotta say Love the strips! Vodka is nice but if you add Red Bull (or any other high caffine derived drink) tastes so much better and you dont get the hang over the next morning..
    Congrats on the baby -

  29. Raven Says:

    Well well well
    Someone can’t hold the booze

    TRy absinthe,80% alcohol!

    That crap doesn’t even get me shitfaced..

    I wanna be drunk too!

  30. JC Says:

    “you know just cause they call it russian water doesn’t mean you drink it like water…”

    Unless you’re me.

  31. JC Says:

    Vodka is weak.You want something hardcore?.Try the often underrated Sake,soon to be appearing as the active ingredient in explosives everywhere.

  32. Don Eddie Tomlinsoni Says:

    “Passing out in your own vomit is so passe. Now some one elses vomit, that’s ART. Beautiful art with chunks of carrot in it.”

    Why is it that vomit ALWAYS has chunks of carrot in it, even if you’ve consumed nothing but beer and donner kebabs for days before-hand? This has always confused me.

    And yes, whoever it was that said it, whiskey is FAR superior to vodka. It’s like comparing Budvar to Budweiser (or a stir-fry to 3 minute noodles)

  33. Fred Grisolm Says:

    C’mon, gimme a break - whiskey better than vodka? Well, maybe it’s a matter of taste. Personally, I don’t like whiskey. Could never get into it.

    If we’re going on proofs, they’re the same, aren’t they? So, how is vodka weaker than whiskey?

    In regards to sake…I’ve had it, but am not really much of a fan.

  34. Bryce Says:

    I have to say that I am a fan of whiskey, however nothing beats a good vodka. I think the problem is, in North America at least, that most people generally try smirnoff before any other type of vodka. Personally, I’d rather drink paint thinner… same burn as smirnoff with more effect from the paint thinner.

    If anyone gets a chance, try Wyborowa Vodka. It’s probably the smoothest vodka I’ve tried since Stolichnaya(also very good).

  35. VaginaSpelunker Says:

    TEQUILA.

    … and weed.
    But I figured that went without saying.

    HOORAY.

    Cheap scrubs set
    My mom always goes to my auntie’s house for monitoring her blood pressure and since she’s already 63 years old. She needs to have a blood pressure monitoring even for monthly checkup or at least twice a month. My cousin is a 20 years old nursing aid student and because of that she has stethoscope with her. She always brings it if she’s on school or on duty for her on-job training in a medical hospital. When on duty, she wore a scrubs set and because she only have one. She requested her mom to buy her one. And yes since my auntie got an internet connection just last week. We help her find cheap scrubs set and we found it! For Unisex Single Pocket Top/1 Pocket Pants it only cost $9.99 which is very affordable compared to the last one that they bought that cost $20.00 and the quality is not good. Well, the quality is good and they all have the different kinds of uniform and you choose the color you want order that you will surely love to buy. My auntie has decided to buy 3 pairs on them plus a set of medical clogs that the nurses today loves to wear.

    And what’s good in this company is that you can order their product online at http://www.cheapscrubset.com or http://www.medicalscrubset.com or http://www.qualityscrubset.com call them in their toll free number or even fax them if you want. You can send them email if you want. Plus companies can buy the as many as they want for their nurses to have a uniform color and they also can choose on the sizes they like. And I am pretty sure that they can have discount on the items they bought. So visit the site and start ordering.
