"People Hands"--My New Webcomic

[Ben Rosen]

Everybody check it out! It's about a koala bear who has human hands. Expect a page every day-ish hopefully!

It's just a joke side project, but it'd be cool if people read it--so give it a try! Stick with it over the next couple of weeks! It's fun!

Plus, it's free! Unlike Insult to Injury #3 which is still available for $4 including shipping!

[Dannñ B]

Excellent.

[Ray G.]

You are so wierd. :D

[Ray G.]

I do actually like it, though. It's just....how do you come up with this stuff? :lol:

thanks.

well, it's just a joke side project thing to keep me busy until my big summer comic project.

i saw "koala bear autobiography" on a scrap of paper full of story ideas i had, and i forgot what that was all about, so i brought it up in the christmas comics thread, and after bouncing some ideas off fleecs, i drew a koala bear guy, then realized i didn't give him paws, and the rest was history...

Fix your link in the first post is goofy... the one in your sig is not goofy... this could be another instance of me sucking at the internet.

I like the irony of the monkey asking why he has people hands when the monkey has people hands as well all be it probably robin willaims people hands but people hands non the less. Also he hides them in his pockets which is probably some deep political statment.

this also reminds me of the devil hands.

things get pretty ridiculous, ray. i don't know if you can handle it.

[Ray G.]

I can handle whatever you throw at me, boyo.

Unless there are terrorist chincillas.

[Flonk]

Nice.

Weird, but nice.

[Ben Rosen]

Psychics.

everybody else thinks this is much weirder than i do. maybe that's a sign...

[Ray G.]

Seriously, it's great. It's the rare thing that has no discernible jokes, and yet still makes me laugh like a schizophrenic hyena.

i'm glad i have the ability to do that.

[Ray G.]

In all my teasing over the concept, I want to make sure my point gets across.

You are scary talented.

It's a strange concept, but it has a very normal vibe to it, if that makes any sense. That's what I like aboot it.

[andrew french]

damn i want my i2i 3.

i know this isn't the thread, but i had to make it clear.

it's somewhere in the labyrinth of the US postal system right now. a complete guess ETA? Wednesday...or Tuesday...

[Ben Rosen]

I'm trying to think of a way to pimp this at MoCCA...

[Dannñ B]

I'm trying to think of a way to pimp this at MoCCA... Business cards. With a little picture and a link.

[Caley Tibbittz]

No people will get their hands on me in here. For I am it.:D

[Jef UK]

That cracks me up! I wonder what happens when they realize they're wearing shirts!?

[Ben Rosen]

Business cards. With a little picture and a link.

can i afford color though?

i guess b/w will have to work.

[JABSEN]

It's kinda sad that there's still a need for a "people" part of town

[Ray G.]

When will our furry brothers be accepted for who they are? :(

[Ben Rosen]

It's kinda sad that there's still a need for a "people" part of town

it's a damn shame.

[Ben Rosen]

my first completely random (i think) comment ever!

[Patton]

People hands support me when I do push-ups.
Why the hell would you do push-ups on purpose?

That's a cool logo Ben. And a pretty cool concept.

You plan to experiment at all with the panels and things? Often, when a concept is kinda weird or out there, it can get hard to make yourself do weird transitions and things but I think this could be a good place to experiment.

i've been keeping it pretty consistently safe, but that's a good idea.

and where have you been, dude?

On tour with REO Speedwagon.

[Ben Rosen]

*daps* on that.

how are the books coming?

[Patton]

*daps* on that.

how are the books coming?

eh.

[Ben Rosen]

so i realized today that there's no real conflict or whatever in the story. but it's all good. anyone who has a problem with that can make an obnoxious post on the livejournal.

[Ben Rosen]

yeah, we're on hiatus for a little bit. but i promise things get even ridiculouser.

[Ben Rosen]

we're back...weekly...

[Movie Maker]

we're back...weekly...

FUCK YEAHH!

[andrew french]

[Ray G.]

My months-long obsession with the File Room Monster is at last fulfilled.

[Scott JB]

how the hell did i miss this the first time it came around? Great stuff.

[Ben Rosen]

thanks guys!

i was nto feeling it for a while, but doing actually getting myself to do a new strip really got me into it again.

[Adam Witt]

Very cool! I like that you're keeping yourself busy creating new stuff. I should be doing that too.

Is this a planned out story or are you just doing as a stream of conciousness type thing? I've thought of doing something with no real plot are point, something just as a vehicle to produce pages and see where it takes me.

it had a planned ending but it was pretty stream of consciousness getting from point a to point b.

Was the file room monster really the Koala's father?

That's where I was at.

Gone forever......to his own spin-off, right?
