I figured I should go the extra artistic mile on this one, since I'm going to be away in Arizona this week & unable to make new comics while I'm gone.

That is a nice wallet in that last panel, isn't it? It's made out of 100% unicorn hide.

Soon the kids will be communicating entire thoughts and paragraphs reduced down to a single character. Hmm, maybe this is how the whole hieroglyphic thing started.

My neighbor and I share the same condo entryway, so this happens at least once a week. Oh, bitter disappointment. But why am I surprised, when I can't afford to order anything online anyway. Do I think it's a present or something? I mean, it's February.

Applies to not only the #6862 Secret Space Voyager, but pretty much all the other ones too.

2010-02-16T22:57:00.000-05:00

I doodled this on my friend's table the other day.

A little Valentine's Day marriage humor. Based on themes alone, not facts. ;-)

2010-02-09T21:59:00.000-05:00

One more reason to telecommute. Or better yet, to not work at all...

Hamsterdunce #72

2010-02-07T17:33:00.001-05:00

And that particular cheesy corporation didn't pick my cheesily-created animated Doritos commercial idea for their Superbowl contest, so I'm a tad bitter.

Hamsterdunce #71

2010-02-05T17:27:00.001-05:00

So very many experiences to draw from here...

Hamsterdunce #70

2010-01-28T20:14:00.000-05:00

So Apple's iPad came out today... basically a big iPhone. Maybe they'll come out with an even bigger one someday. They could call it the MaxiPad.

2010-01-26T19:47:00.002-05:00

69 isn't all that raunchy. Y'all should try π³ * 8(XY-3) for some real interesting fun.

Hamsterdunce #68

2010-01-24T21:44:00.002-05:00

I'd totally link up the YouTube clip, but I'm afraid y'all will think I'm just a shill. I've been reading about this flick on the movie news sites for years now & I seriously hope it gets American distribution. I also hope it doesn't turn out to suck.

Hamsterdunce #67

2010-01-18T19:53:00.000-05:00

The longer I wait to find real work, the more likely this is gonna happen. Right now I'm thinking the hell with it. Of course, I am still in my pajamas.

Hamsterdunce #66

2010-01-13T18:31:00.001-05:00

Holy geez. I've got the sweats over here. For real.

Hamsterdunce #65

2010-01-10T18:33:00.001-05:00

I turned 40 years old yesterday. I did not smash my Mississippi mud pie. But I definitely got smashed.

Hamsterdunce #64

2010-01-06T19:16:00.002-05:00

Based on idea from my online pal Matrixsynth.

Hamsterdunce #63

2010-01-03T22:55:00.002-05:00

Well it's either watch "Robot Pinecone" or draw a comic strip, at any rate.

Hamsterdunce #62

2010-01-01T14:37:00.000-05:00

I've been waiting ten years to not have to say years like "twenty-oh-eight" and "twenty-oh-nine," since despite properness, they just sound stupid.

Hamsterdunce #61

2009-12-29T17:44:00.000-05:00

I plan on doing this with booze. Except for the quitting part.

Hamsterdunce #60

2009-12-26T17:27:00.002-05:00

Of course, this will hopefully exclude LEGO blocks... on which I am staking my potential grandchildrens' future.

2009-12-24T14:14:00.000-05:00

For what it's worth, my Catholic wife would probably not enjoy jew's my harp Christmas carols any better.

Hamsterdunce #58

2009-12-22T18:38:00.000-05:00

Just watched "Good Morning Vietnam" again last night, and I guess I'm just wistful for the pre-"Patch Adams" days...

Hamsterdunce #57

2009-12-20T17:31:00.002-05:00

My dreams, let me show you them.

Hamsterdunce #56

All three of these films would definitely be in my queue.

Hamsterdunce #55

2009-12-12T20:18:00.000-05:00

There are still a lot of folks from our July wedding that Lee-Ann and I haven't thanked yet (you know who you are). I'm sure by the time our anniversary rolls around, they'll have been wished a Merry Christmas.

Hamsterdunce #54

2009-12-10T23:57:00.002-05:00

I had a dream last night that my friend Jack showed up to a high school reunion wearing lederhosen. They were orange. Don't ask me how that turned into this; I do not know. But at least I know that I dream in color.

Hamsterdunce #53

2009-12-08T20:46:00.000-05:00

So now you know what actual colors we painted our bathroom today...

Hamsterdunce #52

2009-12-06T20:15:00.000-05:00

Lee-Ann (who did in fact own a Commodore 64 in her youth) thinks these characters are "too fat." I had to explain that they are, in fact, hamsters, and that hamsters just don't come in particularly svelte sizes.

Hamsterdunce #51

2009-12-04T13:05:00.002-05:00

And this also goes for about a million other pointless conversations I've had.

Hamsterdunce #50

2009-12-01T15:28:00.002-05:00

Thanks to my friend Randel for the impetus of today's concept. Imp... impuh... whut?

Hamsterdunce #49

2009-11-29T16:34:00.002-05:00

Heheh. I just came up with this idea while eating an omelet this morning.

Hamsterdunce #48

2009-11-27T18:18:00.002-05:00

For the record, my wife does not knit, nor shall she ever knit. She doesn't nag, either. I think you've got to knit before you really know how to nag.

Hamsterdunce #47

2009-11-26T21:26:00.003-05:00

I had a good Thanksgiving this year, made better by knowing that I work from home and this kind of Monday won't be coming for me. Of course, neither will much of a paycheck.

Hamsterdunce #46

2009-11-24T22:09:00.004-05:00

You wish it with every fiber of your being, and I draw it. Just like magic!

Hamsterdunce #45

2009-11-22T16:51:00.002-05:00

Been working from home for a good six months now, but somehow the corporate wound still hasn't healed.

Hamsterdunce #44

2009-11-20T23:15:00.000-05:00

My wife had to help me out tonight; I'm pretty swamped! By the way, that thing coming out of her head is a ponytail. That is all.

Hamsterdunce #43

2009-11-18T20:21:00.000-05:00

I think her biggest punishment was probably paid with what could have only been a violently messy childbirth.

Hamsterdunce #42

2009-11-17T19:39:00.003-05:00

Fret not, children. The more you think about an eternity in Heaven, the less scary nothingness becomes. Unless of course Heaven has a holodeck.

Hamsterdunce #41

2009-11-15T16:30:00.002-05:00

The client is actually a renowned German company called Sidsonic; they want to use some of my artwork for their planned Kontakt soundbank/library of Metasonix noises. Pretty cool!

Hamsterdunce #40

2009-11-13T13:07:00.003-05:00

This comic was drawn on a Friday the 13th. But I regardless consider myself lucky to have drawn it. And you get to read it, lucky-loo!

Hamsterdunce #39

2009-11-11T18:30:00.001-05:00

Autobiographical, except instead of planting ass in front of the TV, it's planting ass in the office, working on worky work.

Hamsterdunce #38

2009-11-09T12:37:00.000-05:00

Of course he has fingers! What do you mean, you can't see them? Meanwhile, ow, this hurts me to type.

Hamsterdunce #37

2009-11-08T12:19:00.002-05:00

For my part, I could at least use a new operating system.

Hamsterdunce #36

2009-11-07T22:58:00.002-05:00

I'm drinking beer right now. Whodathunkit!

Hamsterdunce #35

Seriously time for an upgrade. I'm thinking about installing a second wheel.

Hamsterdunce #34

2009-11-03T20:22:00.001-05:00

The sad thing is, this joke is very probably more than halfway there to being 40 years old already. The idea of holodecks has been around - if my Star Trek nerd memory is correct - since 1987.

Hamsterdunce #33

2009-11-02T17:56:00.002-05:00

Because this has happened to me at least a dozen times, I should be three times as old as Jesus by now.

Hamsterdunce #32

2009-11-01T19:32:00.001-05:00

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy that extra hour on the beach in the summertime.

Happy Halloween from Hamsterdunce!

Bearing in mind of course that "herbal enhancements" meant something completely different in 1969.

Hamsterdunce #28

2009-10-28T16:33:00.000-04:00

Just venting... I paid this exact amount for the exact same bill today. And there really are some perfectly good woods outside I could be using free of charge.

And lo, a flood washed across the internet, and everyone's porn was deleted except for Neo's, who had uploaded and saved his files, two by two. Because, you know, he needed backups.

Hamsterdunce #26

2009-10-26T20:12:00.001-04:00

If this comic was drawn right to left, it would have made a lot more sense. Or not.

Good old Galactus. He solves everyone's problems.

Hello, they're hamsters.

Hamsterdunce #23

2009-10-23T17:48:00.002-04:00

Not sure how I feel about the mental structure behind creating this particular comic. I regularly wonder about why caffeine somehow makes Coke & coffee taste different, and for that matter, the odd coincidence that coffee and caffeine are so similarly spelled. I will also regularly ask questions like this to anyone and everyone. But this comic just wrote itself with the punching. It was automatically generated by my brain to have this rambling, inquisitive character punched. My only conclusion is that I annoy the hell out of myself, and like I said, I'm not sure how I feel about that.

So around the corner, there's this place that used to be called "Adam's Food Store." They've recently changed their name to "Discount Food Store," retaining all their crappy employees and crappy prices. Their deli won't even be re-opened for another four weeks. But for some reason, because of the name change alone apparently, the place is three times as packed as it ever was. It took me 20 minutes just to buy seltzer, people.

Hamsterdunce #21

2009-10-21T18:50:00.000-04:00

Most difficult-to-draw bad pun of all time.

Hamsterdunce #20 - 20-Oct-2009

2009-10-20T17:50:00.001-04:00

Here is the twentieth Hamsterdunce comic. Boy oh boy, I figured I'd have quit this thing by now. But no, it is simply too much fun, especially on a day like today when cool guys like Matt "Stretta" Davidson share writing duties.

Hamsterdunce #19 - 18-Oct-2009

2009-10-19T10:05:00.003-04:00

These Sunday ones have been really fun. This one features 26 hamsters. Please enjoy the full color hamsters.

And by the way, yes, there are very probably 100 bands out there called "Free Beer." Another good one, I always have thought, is a band called "TBA" (as in "To Be Announced.") For local music news-rags that run band info, bars & clubs will just tell 'em "TBA" if nothing's set in stone yet, so this wuold be a good name for a struggling young band; people might actually believe they're playing like a dozen gigs in one weekend! If you use this idea, you may mail all your excess residuals thusly-like.

Hamsterdunce #18

2009-10-16T19:54:00.000-04:00

In all fairness, I do connect with at least half of my ex work friends on Facebook at least once every four months or so... but far, far gone are the days of mopping beer off each other's floors with our beards.

My wife is a high school soccer coach, and this is in honor of her team having a tough time their past couple of games...

Hamsterdunce #16

2009-10-14T16:32:00.002-04:00

Not at all factual. This Corvette is a 2011 C7, the ring price is massively inflated, and my own wife wants to take out the hot rod more often than I do (at least, when its battery isn't dead).

Hamsterdunce #15

2009-10-13T13:56:00.002-04:00

And let's not even get into the fantasies I had in the '80s and '90s; most of them required a holodeck anyway.

Hamsterdunce #14

2009-10-12T13:58:00.001-04:00

I'd hate to think that some eons from now I've got to draw all of this again.

Hamsterdunce #13

2009-10-11T18:21:00.001-04:00

I haven't moved in two years, but the pain of it is clearly lingering enough to extract comics about it.

Hamsterdunce #12

2009-10-10T19:39:00.001-04:00

And in the '80s it was all about Nostradamus, and in the '70s it was all about Menudo, etc.

Hamsterdunce #11

2009-10-09T10:23:00.003-04:00

Google search "Volkswagen 2028" to see the future car upon which I tra-- BASED my drawing today.

Hamsterdunce #10

2009-10-08T14:02:00.001-04:00

This one makes me think of that scene from "A Christmas Carol" where Jacob Marley bellows, "MANKIND should have been our business!" Not to be confused with that BB gun movie, mind you.

Hamsterdunce #9

2009-10-07T11:03:00.002-04:00

It should come as a surprise to no one that Hamsterdunce will be as much an excuse for me to draw Legos and synthesizers as much as Retarded Animal Babies was an excuse to draw boobies.

Hamsterdunce #8

2009-10-06T18:47:00.006-04:00

This comic could contain roughly 50,000 panels, but I figured you'd get the message after three. I've been in possibly over a dozen local bands and I've been involved with at least one conversation like this in every single band.

Hamsterdunce #7 - 5-Oct-2009

2009-10-06T12:21:00.001-04:00

It's a bit hypocritical of me to make any criticisms about committees or people with jobs in general, isn't it?

Still, I get bored watching editorials & reading commentaries from people endlessly talking about what we need to do to fix the economy, environment, swine flu, impending martial law, mile-high typhoons, alien invasions, etc. The "we" they must mean is Superman, because they & the other 6.7 billion of us are all just sitting on ass trying to call each other to arms. Meanwhile, I'm sitting on ass drawing cartoons about it for only about a dozen of those 6.7 billion people to read, so poop on me.

Hamsterdunce #6 - 4-Oct-2009

2009-10-06T12:19:00.003-04:00

A very special Sunday edition Hamsterdunce comic. Everything about life is terrific!

Hamsterdunce #5 - 3-Oct-2009

2009-10-06T12:18:00.002-04:00

This is definitely not based on fact. I mean, I don't even have any red underpants.

Hamsterdunce #4 - 2-Oct-2009

2009-10-06T12:16:00.001-04:00

This is almost certainly not based on fact, unless you are considering 100% truth.

Hamsterdunce #3 - 1-Oct-2009

2009-10-06T12:14:00.002-04:00

Yep, in ten years I'm gonna have the kind of dizzying future-tech which will allow me to hire a team of illegal aliens to draw hamsters for me.

Hamsterdunce #2 - 30-Sep-2009

2009-10-06T12:10:00.001-04:00

I wonder if this comic will end up on Blogspot forever, or if I can maybe hire a programmer and perhaps even a masseuse.

Hamsterdunce #1 - 29-Sep-2009

2009-10-06T11:59:00.001-04:00

Check it out, it's the first one. Man, all the way back in 2009. What a prolific guy this Dave is.
