You probably notice that I like to say, “This actually happened to me. blah, blah, blah…” Well, I am totally serious this time, you guys. Liek totally. This was an amazing display I put on one evening… I was all giddy from sitting in class. I was just acting like an idiot the second I got out of class. Anyways, enjoy!
“Fly Under the Radar”
Okay, this didn’t actually happen to me, but it would be pretty funny. Just… don’t ask.

Since I was a little late posting this, there will be no sketch this week, but I’ll post another comic on Friday.
“Sparta”
I know, 300 came out a LONG time ago, so this may be behind the times… but it just happened to me the other day. Sadly, yes, it actually happened. That’s the funny part… or sad part. Whatever.
“True to Life”
I have trouble with this EVERY SINGLE WEEK! I kinda put myself in the situations, but I also blame my friends. Yes, the very ones who read these comics! You know who you are! I’ll be trying to work, and you’re telling me to play Halo or whatever (Not that it takes very much convincing).

If you aren’t addicted to what is known as, “Little Big Planet,” then once you play it, you shall.
This comic is how I felt today, I was at work all afternoon, and I just wanted to play LBP the whole time. To make things worse, I even had a song from the game stuck in my head. Anyways, here’s this week comic, and sorry it’s a little late.
I also managed to finish the “Sketches” page, so be sure to check it out!
“Bye, Bye Brad”
If you notice a character that you haven’t seen before in a comic, then there’s a good chance that will be the only comic they appear in. ;)
Dead Space, as it sounds, is a survival-horror game. It scared the crap outta me a few times, but it was an awesome game. So, they just announced a sequel, and this was a good topic for my comic.
Well, I have some homework to finish up, and my final animation class tomorrow. So, you guys have a good weekend. See ya!

“The Softer Side”
I’ve got so many mini series ideas, but I know you will all hate me for it. I’ll put them off for a few weeks. ;)
Yes, the comic is accurate, my birthday was earlier this week, AND I did go play some laser tag. Which was AWESOME! I didn’t realize how cheap it is now-a-days.
That’s all, kids! See ya.

Here it is. The closing scene. Hope you liked it! I enjoyed having all the characters come together. Like a big family reunion….. and brawl.
Next week will be interesting…. the comic will be posted on Black/ Green Friday, and don’t worry… it WON’T be about it. I don’t wanna think about it anymore than I have to.
Also, I’m drawing my characters for my animation class, and I’ll post them when I finish a few of ‘em.

Yay! Another chance for me to express my hatred for Gamestop!
Since I discovered how awesome Amazon is, I haven’t had any reason to visit a Gamestop! I would encourage anyone looking to get rid of stuff to check out Amazon before they give away their stuff to Lamestop Gamestop. Seriously. It kicks many kinds of butt.

Funny thing about this comic, is that it’s all true. There was this cute girl I talked to at work about a calculator, and I couldn’t find her after I left her for like two seconds. I was a sad camper. I talked to David about it too, but he didn’t add to the conversation. ;)
Well kids, I’m off to Atchison for the weekend, and I hope you all sleep well knowing that I’m having a baller time. So, keep it real.

“Rules of Attraction – Part 3″
As you have seen many times over, I enjoy making my character look like a moron. Sure, I’ll dog on the other characters (without the real person’s consent), but that’s just to mix things up. Being stupid is quite funny. :D
The mini-series is almost over, and it will be nice for me to come up with some new ideas. I really wish I could use flash to express how idiotic/ goofy I act when I play games. I yell, make stupid noises, and talk like a gangster sometimes. Maybe one day, maybe one day…
ANYWAYS! If you don’t get the “warsh” joke, then it’s because you don’t know anyone that “warshes” their clothes. ;)

Alright! New mini-series! I’ve already had fun making the first one, because this is a side of Ratio that’s never been shown. Bahaha. Of course, this isn’t everything, and you’ll have to wait for the rest of the series to find out more! Until then, I have Jokers to catch, castles to crash, spartans/ elites to shoot, and homework to be done.
Til next week, nerds (and Rhonda)!

Yay! Another Bon Jovi reference! You know you like it… also I know I lied in my last post about someone returning. I assure you, I put it off another week, so I can really think things through. It’ll be worth the wait… well, for those who really mind.
Now I tell you, if any of you readers own a Nintendo Wii, then you better own a copy of De Blob. It’s an amazing display of what a third party can do, and the music is quite, quite catchy. I haven’t played the multiplayer yet, but the single player is fuuuun stuff. Well, that’s the closest to a review I’m going to do for a while. :-P

I recently picked up Street Fighter 4 for $20, and the clerk told me it was the last copy. So, after I left…I just imagined this comic happening in real life. Haha, I’m a terrible person, I know. Now, I know I say NOT to shop at Lamestop Gamestop, but they have some good deals. In the future, I’ll just have Best Buy price match their butts, so I won’t have to go there unless I need to.
I’m sure you probably didn’t notice, but the comic doesn’t look nearly as messy as usual… this is because I got a Micron Pen, and so tried it out on this comic. Let me know whatcha think, and which style you like better.
I’m also throwing the idea around of getting some Nerds Soup shirts printed, so if you have any design suggestions then I’d love to hear them…. and possibly make fun of them (but you won’t know that). Or let me know if you may like to purchase one in the future…. the distant future.
Well, school starts Monday…for me, Pat still gets more time off. Jerk. But I shall be down to only one part time job, YAY! Well kids, that’s all I have for you tonight. Enjoy your weekend, and don’t think about pink elephants.

Anyways,I hope you enjoy this comic, and I’ve got some good ideas to follow up the first part. Hehe. Also, Pat deserves the credit for coming up with the “Chixpwndix” gamertag. So, for all of you that hate it, then email your complaints to Pat. ;)

Funny thing, this comic is a true story…and it has happened several times. A ‘Peanut’ is where you curl up into a ball on the diving board, lean forward, and land on the water head first. Too bad it doesn’t always happen that way. Sometimes you lean forward too much and smack your back, as seen in comic. But man… I need to go to the pool more this summer, I miss it.

And yes, the dryer is (somehow) still alive, and we are on talking terms. For now.

Funny thing about this comic… about 90% of it is true (everything but my printer talking to me). I lost my debit card, and somehow it was sitting in the mouth of my printer? Yeah. I also did get Lips (which is basically just a karaoke game), but I don’t think it’s had any kind of price drop lately.
Few of you may have noticed that we posted stuff on Tuesday, and this was no prank. Pat and myself will be regularly posting on Tuesdays, but Friday Funny comics are sticking to Fridays. So, if you have a mid-week crisis, Nerd Soup has got you covered…. in soup? Yeah, it sounded better before I typed it. Well, I think that will wrap it up for this week.
See you Tuesday!

“Questionable”

This week marks Friday Funnies’ 1 year! It has seemed like several years to me, but apparently it’s only been one. I remember that a year ago, Pat had just posted his first Notebook Comic, and this was what gave me the idea to start publishing comics on Facebook. So, I started writing comics every Friday, and I would post them on Facebook. It’s always been a dream to have a website for me to post my comics on for everyone to see, and I’m excited that I have been given the chance to share my comics. I hope everyone loves reading them as much as I do making them! Thanks for the past year of support and comments!
Oh, and there has to be a comic to celebrate such an occasion. So, here’s my comic to celebrate one year of funnies!

This week has been great, because I’ve been getting some great ideas that I can’t wait to share. Somehow I have found time to think of ideas between two jobs.

Everyone is going to hate me for two reasons…
1.) Starting another mini-series
2.) Each comic ends with a cliffhanger

“The Current Event”
Click Here to View “The Current Event”
(If you dont understand the comic, think of the cable that you use to jump a depleted car battery. You NEVER touch two leads together after the other two leads are connected to the other car battery. If so, you create a live circuit….this is what I, not knowingly, did.)
I hate to admit that this comic is a true story (except the last part), but even I have to admit that it’s funny. Only about five different guys saw the fireworks, and the teacher was not one of them. I was glad for a while, because there was a three week period when no one brought it up. Until about four days ago, the few guys who saw the event kept bringing it up again, and then they would all just build off each others jokes. So, someone in the past few class periods always seems to bring it back up… makes me wish the last part of the comic DID happen. Also, I have nothing against KU fans, but I think every person in the class wears some form of KU apparel.
I’ve learned some new terms in my electronics class, and they make me snicker every time. For example, (GEEK MODE: Activated) adding an extra electron space to an atom is called, “Doping.” See? Always gets me. Another one is this stuff you melt onto a circuit board that is called, “Flux.” Kinda funny, but the best part is the stuff you use to remove it if you make a mistake is called, “Flux Off.” Oh boy, I couldn’t stop saying that to other people in the class.
(We have icons now! Baller!)

“Dude,we have a test next week? Man! I’m fluxed!” ….okay, I’m done.

I’ve had the idea for this comic for some time, like…I had this drawn out before I started the Fire in the Fighter mini-series. For those who care, that was a few months ago. So, yeah.
I also FINALLY got the pages up and running so be sure to just check ‘em out. My past Friday Funnies have been moved to the Comic tab, and Pat’s Notebook comics will be added soon.
Well, I got a mini-series I’m gonna be working on with the other two guys Gill and Pat, and I’m really looking forward to it. I may start it in two weeks or so. Well, that’s all I really got this week, so have a good one.

Update: Well, the site is almost running at 100% so be sure to take a look around and let us waste your time for you. :D
“Jon Jovi”
First off, I love that song. I sing to it whenever it comes on at work, and …I don’t know why. Something about that song makes me act more idiotic than I normally do. Aside from that, I’m very proud of this comic, and I have to say that it is one of my favorites.
OH! Big Announcement! My comic archive is up and running. Just go to my page or click here .

I hope you’re happy Lucas, you ruin my life at work and in my comics (he reads these comics). He’s been bugging me to put him in a comic for some time now, and now he finally got his wish. Now, this doesn’t mean if you annoy me for several months that you will be transformed into the world of the funnies, and if you do…it may not be a good thing. Yeah, I may make fun of you, or give you a pointless line at the end of the comic. Hah!
-Quick note, for those who aren’t familiar with mah comics, I draw them with a normal pen, pencil, and paper. Nothin’ fancy, nothin’ fancy. Next, I scan them in, then photoshop the dialogue since my handwriting sucks. There. (some I also draw in paint, but look kinda crappy, like the April Fools picture)
I know, I know. “Jon, Jon! Why didn’t you make a comic about April Fool’s?!” I WILL TELL YOU WHY I DIDN’T! …I forgot about it until Tuesday, and by then it was TOO LATE. DUN DUN DUUUUN. …Aside from that, I’m excited for these next few weeks, because I have some great comic ideas! It’s gonna be baaaaaller!

I’m hoping to have my library of older comics available soon, but I have no idea how long it will be. Once they are up (all 40-ish) of them, then there will be much more to look on here. Goodie!

Well, This is The Nerd’s Soup first wave of posts. I’m Jon, and all I’m good for is making comics (The character in the comic above is mine). Every Friday @ midnight, I shall post a new comic…hints the name “Friday Funnies.” I’ve been posting these comics on facebook since June of last year, and I’m glad to finally have a website to post them on. I also do have a group on facebook, “Friday Funnies.” I hope you all enjoy reading them as much as I do.
(I will also be adding old comics to the site as soon as I can)
As for these other guys on the site will pretty much do the same thing, but they do that…ya know, blogging stuff. I’m not gonna touch that…mostly cause I suck at it. Pat has a blog entry this week (see post below), but Corbin will have something to post at another time. Well, that’s all for this Friday, and I can feel this is a start of something good.
