ABOUT TODAY’S STRIP:
I have been playing around with PhotoShop™ again and was able to create a neat background for the Pink Kitty Strip Club using a stock background layer I created and then using the Magic Erase Tool™ to create a ’see through’ window on the comic strip layer above it.  I also played around with the Lighting Effects section to make the background more ‘club’ like!  I have version 2 of PhotoShop Elements™ and have been using it for years and still find out new things almost daily.  I can only imagine what the full current version of PhotoShop™ can do.

Also, today’s strip is my first entirely digital strip – there is no original pen and ink drawing!  I used Adobe Photoshop to cut / paste and move things around to createda strip from digital ’scrap’.  I don’t much care for this method.  First, it’s not really any ‘quicker’ and second, it’s too much like ‘cheating’!!!

JOE’S B(ullshit)LOG:
Another problem with impulse control issues is that often your unable to ’see’ that your response is greatly exaggerated.  You’ll be standing around feeling completely justified while everyone else who is presumably ‘normal’ stands there with their mouths hanging open in utter disbelief at what you have done.  If you have ever been in a situation like this and your response was ’what!?!’ you may just have an impulse control problem!  In up coming strips, we’ll see how Joe’s impulse control issue causes him some serious problems!

COOL SHIT:
For the foreseeable future the Cool Shit feature will be the draft of my new book BLOOP: Irreverent ‘Toon Tales!  If you have any suggestions and / or corrections feel free to e-mail me at: joe@bloopcomic.com(credit will be given to you in the end credits of the final published version – yippy!)

NEWS FLASH: I gots me a cool ISBN number – woo hoo, almost publication time!
