What's it all about, Alfie?

I suppose there's the offhand chance that some new visitors may be showing up round these parts via Zuda, looking for the sitch, the lowdown, the whonow and the whatnow.

So if you're new and on the hunt for more Untrue Tales and extras and background info and the like, please allow me to direct you to the Untrue Tales website, at which you'll find a bunch more salacious stories to calm your comic jones:

www.untruetales.com

We've also got a gallery over there with sketches and banners and all manner of knickedy knacks:

Fun for the whole family. In the meantime, I'll be posting some new doodles and sketches from The Compliment right here on the blog every day or so, in an attempt to capture your oh so fleeting attention, dear reader.

Here's one now:

More later!

It's On!

 The 2008 Zuda invitational is up and running!

It's gonna be an exciting month. For me anyway. I don't harbor a hope in happy heckfire of winning this darn thing (I'm guessing it's gonna be a bareknuckle cage brawl between The Crooked Man and Brave Ulysses. Dang, those are some really REALLY top quality comics) but I hope all you true blue unbelievers will lend a hand to give Untrue Tales at least a strong showing.

Here are a couple of nifty banner type thingies if you'd like to show your support for Untrue Tales all across the vast wastes of the interthing:

Now head on over to Zuda and vote for your favorite!

Unencumbered by updates

It's Thursday! It's update day! And yet....there is no update.

Y'see, the big Zuda Invitational thingy begins on Monday so it seems kinda silly to slap up page one of a new story and then leave it hanging for the month of July.

So you'll have to wait until Monday for a whole month's worth of new stuff served up in one dang day.

Until then, allow me to point out a couple of additions to the site that I've slyly slipped in while you weren't paying attention.

Firstly, I've added a high-falutin' introduction with musical snippets and everything.

You can check that out here:

http://www.untruetales.com/Pages/Introduction1.html

Secondly, I've slipped in the original black and white version of An Incident on 32nd Street. Check that out here:

http://www.untruetales.com/Pages/Incident32.pg1.html

You can still enjoy the full-color version of that one and others over at Amalgamated Artists:

So there you go. A veritable smorgasbord of stuff to keep you occupied during the interminable wait until Monday.

Have a grand weekend!

What to do? What to do?

It's a whole week to the big Zuda thingamaboo. The June contest is done. How to fill the days?

Well, here's a doodle:

If you're feeling bored and in the mood to help your fellow internerd, feel free to pop over to the Untrue Tales Zuda page and refresh it a few thousand times. It helps my self-esteem when the view count is boosted.

Seeya!

End of The Loop

A momentous Monday here at Untrue Tales central as the two ends of The Loop come together to form a perfect circle and all is well until Elton John starts up singing that annoying song and the host gets cranky.

Check it out before things get ugly:

This will be the last update before the 2008 Zuda invitational. Starting next Monday July 7th we'll have an all-new 8 page story up at Zuda for your consideration. So remember: vote early. Vote often.

In the meantime, back to the random sketch-a-thon:

Have a great week!

Looooooooooop

More loopy goodness rolling your way this happy Thursday:

Plus a colorful doodle:

Untrue Tales elsewhere

All aflutter about the upcoming Untrue Tale delivered complete and in one fell swoop in next month's Zuda invitational? Can't wait for July? Well... the news! It is good! Our partners in crime at Amalgamated Artists just happen to have a brand new complete Untrue Tale ready and waiting and cleverly colored by our friend and continental neighbor Mike "mpd57" Perridge. I daresay it's BOO-TEH-FUH!

Check it out:

At the link you'll also find a special version of The Trouble with Uzis colored by yours truly. I had so much fun coloring it that I have decided to NEVER COLOR A COMIC AGAIN!
Coloring is hard.

Finally, the last entry in the superhero sketch sweepstakes for the time being:
























Happy trails!
