Jeffrey Rowland's OVERCOMPENSATING

Chill With Your Old Lady



Friends are good to have! Oh, did you know the Tinkle family is back in Wigu? Yeah, my "main comic" now is just called "Wigu." It it only a word, and a little boy.

Speaking of t-shirts, if you are waiting on T-shirts, I am told a fairly large shipment is going out this week.

Also today is the 10th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, which many of you may remember and I was pretty close to. I just want to remind you that there's more to be afraid of than the government wants you to be afraid of. Like, there is so much to be afraid of that there's really no point in being afraid at all. I think it is better to die suddenly and happily than old and afraid. Be happy and friendly, but watch your ass.

"Fag Hag" is an extremely unacceptible way to refer to a woman who hangs out exclusively with homosexual men.

Am I the only guy approaching 50 who reads your stuff, or are there lots of us? This is how I stay hip to the younger generation. (Now where did I put my teeth? Are you listening, Wigu?)

Hi Jeffrey, it's great to have the Tinkles back! Looking forward to lots of great comics, unless of course you die on April 23, which would be a bummer. Cheers!

He's obviously used all his weed to make that shirt.

Jeffrey I don't want you to die. Buy some chips and hang out in the hospital on saturday. You can't die when you are surrounded by doctors.

Jeffery, I think I need to have that crabs shirt. I also think I know several girls that need that Hag shirt. Sell them.

JSYK: My birthday is also the 23rd. In a way I hope you don't die since it might make my birthday kind of a downer every year. On the other hand, it would kind of rule. I could then have my Birthday Party/Jeff Rowland Memorial Party. In fact the more I think of it, go ahead and die. It'll work out.

I am approaching 47. Is that like approaching 50?

Except I don't try to stay hip to the younger generation. I figure it's their job to stay hip to me.

Jeff, I think the brush lettering on Wigu looks really awesome. I like it a lot. I agree that it's nice to have the Tinkles back, but I was also enjoying MAIS. It will be good to see Paisley Tinkle, though, because I named my cat after her. The sadness has spread to my lungs!

We have a new pope. Pope Benedictine the 16th, also lovingly refered to by some friends of mine as Pope Palpatine.

FH is not necessarily an entirely unacceptable way to refer to a woman who hangs out exclusively with gay guys. Some women take it on as a badge of pride - pride that doesn't score them many dates, but pride nonetheless. It's all up to how down she is with the irony thing.

Please feel free to assume everything based on how many fag hags I've known.

Also, I am really glad the Tinkles are back but I really hope MAiS isn't gone away forever. I think you should give up having a life at all (after you survive this weekend, so you have a life to give up in the first place) and draw OC, MAiS and Wigu, full-time. After that, you will be made to dance.

I need to get that Fag Hag shirt for a freind of mine, she'd dig it like a ditch. Also I am saddened that you did not get voted pope.

My fiance looks 65-82% more do-able with her new Joanna OC t-shirt, cheers! How come everytime the Weedmaster comes to town people complain about his eyes? Leave the guy alone, he doesn't even know we're watching...

Actually, most people die surrounded by doctors. Don't go to the hospital Jeffrey, no matter how much your guts hurt.

Making "Magical Adventures in Space" into its own comic was like making a cake entirely out of frosting.

I fear the new Pope almost as much as the Hitler Youth.

Who, after all, should be afraid of an 80-year-old "strictly conservative" ex-Nazi who calls himself a "simple, humble worker" after becoming Pope?

Having Wigu back certainly is interesting, since I first discovered JeffR's comics during the "final" 3 Wigu comics. This has certainly be a rollercoaster ride. I wonder if they will be divided up into "days" that last "years" again?

By the way, in todays OC... I don't think Baby has any pants on.

I don't think Wigu is really back. Did you not see the intro to the storyline? They're just watching a reality TV show. Those rarely last more than a season, and the individual episodes usually are only an hour.

MAiS is here to stay.

I do not trust the new Pope. Re-evangelizing Europe? Glad I'm not in Europe! tee-hee. Also, Benedictine... reminds me of Benedict Arnold. Will the new pope be a traitor to the Catholic Faith like Benedict Arnold was a traitor to the USA? *wide-eyed*

Dude, jeff, you need to do something special for tomorrow, because it's National Pot Day, 4/20, and all. I'll leave the decision making up to the man in charge.

If we're going to turn J.R. into a twenty four hour comic making machine, then I demand the return of Science Cop as well.

"Another Mystery Solved With Science!" It just sounds so cool.

I am glad that we europeans elected a new pope that is just as good as the american king, geo W bush, and am looking forward to his kicking some american ass...

I just totally challenged this Benedict guy to a match, smacked him over the head with a folding chair, and won the Pope Belt! My first act is to change Saturday to "Wildcatday" (for this week only)!

(My second act is to declare the new national anthem of Texas to be Styx' "Plexiglas Toilet")

Hey Jeff, this is Ratzo, aka Pope Benedict XVI. Listen, I gots to have one of those "girl I'm with has crabs" shirts for the new Grand Inquisitor. It'll crack him up totally. And, uh, Wildcat? That was the Vatican Janitor you hit with the folding chair yesterday. We were all wondering why you did that. Well, back to unifying all the christian churches into one. Don't forget the shirt.

Perhaps Mr. Rowland's death will be somehow related the return of the Tinkles. WIGU fans among us recall the whole situation from last year. Maybe this is the culmination of some artistic self-destructive tendancy?

Everything you post is so well written and hilarious, I do not even care what you want to draw. It's all good.

You need to make that POT shirt. I like how it doesn't really promote or put down the drug (assuming it's talking about the drug at all), it just sorta puts it in peoples' heads.

How close do you have to be to 50 to be "approaching 50"? Does rocketing away from 35 count?
