Super secret surprise...
Nice cliff hang...

What do YOU use when the t.p. runs out?

Tissues, of course! lol

I love the Adventure drawing of Kelly. The colours on his face are really unnatural and contrasting, and all the lines converging to his eyes contribute to making him feel even more manic and energetic and creepy.

This creeps me out completely. Maybe that's why I could never stand having a roommate. I'd work two/three jobs to avoid living with a crazy.

Not seeing panel 14 -- the one before the toilet.

Brilliant artwork here. Really feeling the creepiness.

There's no missing panel, just an extra space that I can't find in the code. My apologies for any confusion, sir ;)

Excellent update. The vivid images really thrusts how disgusting dude is. Ugh. Why didn't Max just run out of there at sight of boner? Oh, yeah, NY Real Estate desperation. ;P

Can't wait for the next.

NY Real Estate Desperation is exactly the counterpoint to Max's "why". I am hoping this comes through to non-city-dwellers. Though very soon we're going to get deeper into the driving forces behind both boys...

Erf... that didn't come out right.

You've tapped into a deep creep factor that chills my bones. I don't know how desperate I would have to be to not flee the moment I saw Kelly's face, much less, his cum-stained shirt and boner. Plus, the instant "brother" accolade he flexes makes his hippie-dippie, sexual predator 'tude all that more discomforting. Your hero, Max, must have hated himself by the time he ventured into this. Where-oh-why-oh-how is this tale going to unravel?

Your manic, psychedelic art is mesmerizing. Reading KELLY is like taking a long, bubbly bath in luke warm bong water that smells like arm pit hair after a rigorous basketball game in the sticks. GET IT OFFA ME!

Thanks; I saw the latest ComicsTrips the other day, and your color/design work with that fade-in to the office really floored me. Bravo to you too, bad boy.

Brilliant. I LOVE this comic. I think the artwork is great-- Kelly with the whistling lines shooting off his face; the great meshing(is that a word or the correct one?) of photo and wonderful painting. The story is great. At one point, I said out loud, laughing,"Who the f*%k IS this guy?" I'm laughing again about it right now. Oh, wow. Yeah. This is my favorite so far from ACTiVATE. Really great. And thank you for making your comics. Thanks.

Mike

By the way, I said, laughing, "Who the f*%k IS this guy?" about Kelly, the character, not the artist/writer. Just wanted to clarify.

Glad to make you laugh out loud, Mike. It's going to be a wild ride from here...

Not to be too much of a tease, but *next* week's chunk of "Kelly" has one of my personal favorite moments so far, so keep it regular, ok?

it's the kind of thing you don't want to read before you go to bed because it will just haunt you. Gives me the creeps yet I want to read more.

You really have great color sense.

Kelly continuous reminds me of someone, but for the life of me I can't think who. Probably every guy over 40 you'd see shopping at Hot Topic or Ricky's. The "FAN FUCKINNG TASTIC" panel really made my stomach curdle, as did the "Max, come here, right now." Sets up a really creepy sense of foreboding.

I think more than the Episode I poster, the Robin Hood one is REALLY off-putting.

So how many little boys' torsos DOES Kelly have in his room?

HA! I love that you caught that detail. Kevin Costner is more revolting that Kelly, no?

Little boy torsos? In his room? Wouldn't that be kinda... cheap and easy? Isn't it scarier NOT knowing where this is going, mister...?
