Christmas Special

Sorry I ignored the comic for three weeks!  As an apology, take this double-length Christmas special.

Oops

I am double-posting next week.  Sorry for the delay.

Many Ways to Get Stuffed

Wow!  We're back to digital!  By the way, the theme for December 2015 is "Keeping Warm."

Until next week.

Formal Introductions:

Oops.  No comic this week either.  But since BLUE is going to be around more than the other new characters, I figured he deserved a welcome.

US History

'Merica, eh?

Anyways, hopefully I'll start getting my act together and draw these comics on the weekend so they'll be like, quality.

The Art of Styling Hair

I got these cool white gel pens today while shopping for some Christmas-ey fabrics.  They're a bit thick, but I'll get used to them.

Delays

Oops!  I managed to forget to draw this week's comic.  Don't worry though; it'll be up tomorrow.  In the meantime, here's something cute to look at:

This is from a different webcomic (which, alas, is on very long hiatus after a very short opening) tentatively titled "The Forest King."  It has an actual story line.

PSAT/Halloween Special

This one's for all those poor souls who toiled away at the PSAT test this Wednesday!

No ICALM This Week

     

I am a lazy and terrible person, and when I got home last night, I neglected drawing the sketch for this week's comic.  Instead, I tested out my new Copic markers.  Welp.

Anyways, here are some doodles colored with those new markers.  They're part of a project I've been writing since summer.

No Homo Sapiens (Anatomy)

And the glorious BLUE finally makes his entrance.  I feel like I meant to introduce him several months ago but could never find a good joke for him.

Also, it is October, so I stuck in a skeleton as part of a holiday marketing ploy.

Statistics and Outliers

I admit I was being lazy with the anatomy there.

Zero-Hour Jazz

At first I thought I would have to go variant this week, but I had time!  Hoorah!

I think the trombone looked better on paper, but whatever.

The Last and the Low

Ah... trombones.  Gotta love those kids.

Also, since October and November both have holidays, I have combined the two for one big theme, plus holiday comics (of course).  So, without further ado, the theme for October/November 2015 is...

*Drum roll*

We Have Love-Hate Relationships With Our Classes

Flutes Like Cookies, Not Work

Okay, the lady BIRD is based on can't throw that well either.  One time, she tried to toss an apple core into a garbage can from the stairs (which are pretty close to the garbage can), and the apple core hit the ceiling instead.

Tl;dr?  The dirty blonde is a brute with no aim.

Boop Troop

Things are less violent this week.  What a relief.

Cold-Blooded Kill

Okay, the actual guy who PIE is based on doesn't have such a good arm, but I think my point is made.

Announcement:

As Wednesday is now a day wrought with responsibility for me, I have deigned to move the ICALM update day to Thursday.  So uh... sorry about today's late notice.  ICALM 46 will be uploaded tomorrow.

Announcement Number Like, Five

So I came up with a brilliant plan to make ICALM funnier while still being totally irrelevant to the general public.  Starting with this September, each month (or two) will have its own theme/repeated gag/whatever.  Of course, with the exception of maybe holidays and the constant and necessary appearances of grief-bacon ice cream, they won't repeat annually.

Without further ado, I announce the theme for September 2015!

The Marching Band Kids Enjoy Hitting My Face

Unintentional Procrastination

By the way, those bike tires did get fixed, and the bike got a whole, great tune-up.  BUT IT COST MORE THAN THE BIKE ITSELF?!  AND THE CHAIN MAKES FUNNY NOISES?!  ERMG?!

Tires and Ice Cream - variant comic

I realized yesterday that I wouldn't have time to do all the colors and lines in digital today (the family of the friend who went off to Germany is hosting a student, and I'm showing them around), so I went with the old-school black and white. :)

Fashion STAR

Introducing STAR!

Exchange to Germany!

Today, the SANE one officially ships out to Germany for the year.  We'll miss her!

Preferred Vehicles

Because I'm uber lazy, I decided to draw the other SANE one comic later in the week.  Oops.

Clown Cream

Gaycuz keeps complaining that I don't like clown-shaped ice cream.

NOTICE:

Due to the fact that I overbooked myself during the week before a vacation, I will not be posting next Wednesday.  Instead, the comic schedule will proceed as follows:

One strip on July 16, a preview on 20, and two comics on 23.  The following week may or may not have a strip.

Ciao for now, folks!  I shall report back when I return from NYC.

Driving

Summer Sun

It's finally back!  I meant to reboot ICALM earlier, but I was busy being lazy, so I didn't.  Anyways, hopefully I'll beat whatever streak I last set and continue posting weekly at least until November.

Also, for weeks where I know I will be gone on Wednesday, I will post two strips the week before.  :)

Have a lovely summer, everyone!

Warning: More ICALM Arriving Soon

This piece of gold was in my school yearbook, and I am attempting to find a way to incorporate it into the comic.  Expect something up next week, since school is going to be OUT!

Miscellaneous

I doodled this in class the other day, and someone asked me to put it up here, so I did.
