Parents.

Beavers are a pretty fascinating animal, in my books. First off, they are rodents, one of the largest in the world. They mate for life, and the kids live at home for up to 3 years, unheard of in the animal kingdom! Also, the female is the central figure of the beaver family. In hiking through the woods in my childhood home I would often see beaver families, and lodges, and the gnawed trees. The beaver is on the back of our nickel! Beavers: not just slang for vaginas.

A Special Hallowe'en Treat . . .

The first ever Scratch Animation!

poor buttercup.

So, as I'm sure you realize, I LOVE Hallowe'en. And no, I don't mean the fact that I get to dress up like a priest, I mean the good-natured part of Hallowe'en. The kids having fun, dressing up, and just the memories that I have from my childhood and the activities at school and such. I also love the general feel and "vibe" of October. And most importantly this time of year is my favourite time to draw comics. I love drawing Hallowe'eny stuffs!

run billy, RUN.

being alive has it's perks, i suppose.

This one is for my good buddy, Joey. Joey Comeau. God how he loved his candy. You'll be missed Joey.




When you eventually die.

Today is Thursday! So here is a comic for you!:

B&E?

Life can be tough.

New Scratch for today:

Hallowe'en is coming. Have you heard? I am excited. It is my favourite. This month will have a few ghosts. And probably some zombies. Consider yourself warned. If my death was unavoidable, that's how I would wanna go. Zombie ravaging. People would talk about you forever.

"Man, remember Chris?"
"Yeah. Woof. Wadda dude."
"I can't believe he got taken out by ZOMBIES."
"Yup. He died like he lived."
"Uhhh....."
"Nevermind. Pass the medulla oblongata."

Or something like that I suppose.

hugs!

New scratch up:

 

In other news, I have decided that corn on the cob, when eaten once a year, or, at least, infrequently, is SIMPLY THE BEST THING EVER. Let me paint the picture for you: fresh corn on the cob, boiled, melted butter, and some salt. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. DEElicious. When I was a kid I used to eat it like a typewriter. You know, "chomp-chomp-chomp-chomp-chomp-DING!" rotate and repeat. Those were the days. Now, I just eat it like a ravenous wolf.  

Also, have you checked out my website? It is new. And I am very happy to have one!

comics and new beginnings and such.

Hello World!

Sooo......  this begins the blogity blog of scritchity scratch.   The website launched today, Monday Sept 22, 2008, and I'm quite excited!  Please feel free to go on over and peruse the site and check out all the archived scratch comics!

Here is the beginning of chapter 4!:  

This is definitely representative of the fact that I have been MIA from doing the comic thing for awhile.  I am psyched to be back at the drawing board!  Literally!  Ha!

I'll be on the regular with Scratch, and the other comics (Cyrius, Peas, etc) will come sporadically at first, but will become regular over time.   You can also find me on facebook (Chris H, Halifax) and on livejournal too:  http://scratchcomics.livejournal.com

I guess that's it for now!
