The first HEAT guest comic is the first HEAT episode of 2014! This was drawn by my friend Johnni Kok last summer, and I finally go to the part of the story where I can post it. This guest strip came as a result of Johnni and I wanting to work on a project together, but wanting to do a short test run to make sure we could work together without driving each other crazy before diving into a full-fledged comic book project. I was initially going to have him draw one of the Classic Wrestling Moments interludes, but then he threw out the idea of a commercial – specifically, a condom ad. That idea was immediately hilarious to me, and thus Buck Hogarth’s Champion condom sponsorship was born. This is also the first page I ever lettered digitally. That was an incredibly tedious learning process. I got better, later, and was able to make the balloon tails curve.
Next Week: It’s back to the usual HEAT art style, and this time we’re backstage at Galactic Wrestling’s Main Event!
I’ve always had the feeling that the first thing that would happen when we met aliens would be us figuring out how easy it is to kill them.
Second of course would be finding out if they are screwable.
Third would be a porno.
That seems like a pretty sound series of events. The porno would also get the boom into the shot by accident like in panel 5.
