I Did A Thing For College Humor

I did a series of comics for College Humor that went up last week all about “Highlights Magazine: College Edition”. It’s got all the classic sections, “Check…and Double Check”, “Goofus and Galant”, “The Timbertoes”, “Hidden Pictures”, and even “Your Own Pictures”. Check it out by clicking here or the image below:

Some Advice for Graphic Designers

Also, wrote up a blog post last night, some advice for graphic designers based on Frank Chimero’s post that I happened to read. You can check out the original here and my own advice here.

Jimmy the Murderdog is having that kinda day. He has that kinda day every day.

If you’re having that kinda day, watch this:

George Long once said “Don’t write anything you can phone. Don’t phone anything you can talk. Don’t talk anything you can whisper. Don’t whisper anything you can smile. Don’t smile anything you can nod. Don’t nod anything you can wink.”

Sounds exhausting.

This comic, co-written by my mom (Rossmom) in the comments of The System 626. You can see where I get “it” from.

And I’m just gonna leave this here…

Last night, as we were in our weekly Super Art Fight staff meeting, we struck gold. You see, for years Jamie Noguchi (also on wikipedia) has been giving the same advice to everyone. It’s the advice that helped me to start this comic, helped us to start Super Art Fight, and has generally helped a lot of people get things done. That advice, in it’s purest form, is this:

Fuckin’ do it.

So, armed with Adobe Illustrator and 5 minutes, I set out to do Jamie proud and created the Jamie Noguchi System (™). The outcry for a poster available was immediate, and who was I to say no? So, taking the JNS to heart, I submitted it to the HilariAwesome.com store. Now you too can get things done the Jamie Noguchi way.

I encourage all of you to stop what you’re doing now and start doing what you need to fucking do already. Then do it.*

“I wasn’t getting anything done. Now I am.”
—Ross from DC

“With the FUCKIN DO IT system, I’ve gained 30 pounds, incurred thousands of dollars of crippling debt, and my family refuses to look me in the eye, but I can finally say, without a doubt – I did it!“
 —Marty from Baltimore

“I used to just sit around thinking about if I should do it. I’d spend days thinking about it. It was damn near crippling. Then Jamie came along and gave me the strength I need. Thanks to the Jamie Noguchi System now I FUCKIN’ DO IT!”
—Brandon from Baltimore

“The Jamie Noguchi System™ helped me self publish my first print collection! thanks Hilariawesome!”
—Lee from Indianapolis 

“I met a girl once…”
—Greg from DC
