HEAT #416 – Don’t Fall Into Crowds Of People That Hate You

The title is a fact. Falling into crowds of people that hate you will be a bad time. Avoid it when at all possible. And especially don’t let a luchador dropkick you off of something into that crowd. I mean, really, you probably shouldn’t let anyone dropkick you ever, but wrestlers are crazy people.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table at the Calgary Expo Holiday Market and helped make that show far more successful than I could have imagined. That was my last show in 2016, so thanks for sending this convention season out on a high note!

Next Week: Being in that crowd of people who hate you is really not a good situation. Just ask El Bastarde. Find out the details by reading the comic early on Patreon!

HEAT #317 – Cripple Fight!

HEAT #317 – Cripple Fight!

Japanese wrestling is fascinating. There are human beings who make a living by allowing other human beings to lift them up into the air and then slam them down on their heads. A bunch of other human beings pay money to sit in a seat that has a good view of said head-dropping.

Actually screw Japanese wrestling, HUMANS are fascinating. And fucking weird.

Also, everyone should thank/eulogize Tomoaki Honma, who provided the photo reference for Richard the Lionheart landing on his neck. The photo didn’t have any information about when it was taken, but I’m guessing it was at least two years ago, as Seiya Sanada was suplexing Honma in an All Japan ring. That wasn’t information you needed to know, but it was information you deserved to know. What does that even mean? I don’t really know. At this point I’m writing some serious stream-0f-consciousness shit in this newspost.

Next Week: Countless Asians died to bring you these head drops. Figuratively.

HEAT #195 – Dead Mascots Society

HEAT #195 – Dead Mascots Society

At no point in working on HEAT, until about five seconds ago, did I ever think I would have a Dead Poets Society joke in the comic in any context. Mostly because I typically forget that movie exists until it gets brought up in classes.

I use a lot of photo reference to help me draw the moves, and sometimes finding the right reference for what I’m trying to draw is a huge pain in the ass. For example, any time I want reference for somebody standing on the top rope, I pretty much have to try to take those photos myself at live shows, because finding them online is more hassle than it’s worth. Back suplexes, on the other hand, take roughly ten seconds looking at a Japanese wrestling magazine to find references from 17 different angles. I’m pretty sure it would take less effort to find a picture of a back suplex where somebody was on fire in a Japanese wrestling mag than it took me to find reference for the Bossman Slam on WWE.com. And that’s keeping in mind that Wade Barrett’s new finisher is the Bossman Slam. Madness.

Also, if you’re in Edmonton, check out the Edmonton Collectible Toy and Comic Show on April 1st at the Shaw Conference Centre, where I’ll be hanging out with the Open Door Comics crew. Bring money and buy books.

Next Saturday: I fought the Law and I’m seriously running out of Law puns, you guys. Johnny Law is involved.

HEAT #169 – Back Drop, Back Goes Pop

HEAT #169 – Back Drop, Back Goes Pop

I wrote more HEAT scripts today for the first time in, like, a month. I’m in the mid 180s now, script-wise, and not quite as far ahead as I would like to be art-wise. And to think, I had a thirteen strip buffer not so long ago. I get two weeks off from school before I start my practicum, so hopefully I’ll be able to build the buffer back up a little bit during that time.

If you don’t get Doc’s line about the backdrop, take a look back at HEAT #92. Or just crack open your copy of HEAT Volume 1, because you’ve surely gotten your hands on a copy by now. Haven’t you? Well it’s a good thing you can order it right here.

On Saturday: If you don’t watch your cholesterol you’ll have a Hart Attack.

HEAT #92 – Dust Up

HEAT #92 – Dust Up

This page was really hard to lay out. I wanted more of an establishment of comparative position of everybody, but space-wise I couldn’t really figure out how to fit it in and still have the back drop be the focal point. The back drop was a lot easier than I expected it to be, since usually simple moves end up being more difficult to draw. Which is the line I’m sticking to until I end up having to draw a phoenix splash or something ridiculous like that. If I do, it’ll probably end up being a splash page (ba dum bum pssh!) for the sake of my sanity.

Page 93 is up next, and will be the last page of HEAT’s first year. There will be a Christmas special (which will probably go up before Christmas, since it’s done already and I probably won’t want to post it on Christmas Day), but other than that HEAT will be on a short break until early January (you’ll know the exact date when I do).

Incidentally, if anybody out there is interested in doing some HEAT fan art, send it my way and I’ll post it up on the site during my break.

On Wednesday: Apparently prison doctors are only slightly more competent than Doc Crockett.
