About Me

My photo
Having only been an amateur cartoonist for only six years, I'm hoping that this blog will merely get my work out into the world.

I have always been told that in writing you have a target audience. It is needless to say for cartooning that there is no particular target audience. We target everybody!

I have only just realize how creepy that sounds. It makes cartoonists sound like assassins or something. Some writers target children. Others target adolescents. Some target adults and senior citizens. But not cartoonists... CARTOONISTS TARGET EVERYBODY!

See? Just imagine that last part with a deep, gravely voice. Notice, I said deep and gravELy, not deep and gravy.... Hold on, I have to run with that.

The words that profusely leaked out of the horrid king's mouth were deep and had gravy-like properties. They were thick and creamy and went great with potatoes.

That could work in a novel, don't you think? I'm not going to write a book with that in it. I don't want to look stupid...er than usual. You can't use it either. That's my line. Okay, you can use it as long as you give me the rights to it.

This has been a dollop of wisdom that has had gravy-like properties.

I have not made a comic for the day. Sorry, that's just the way it goes. I was busy making a project for my Spanish class. I am still at half-of-a-year experience in Spanish, so nothing I say makes sense even the slightest. I might post it on here anyway. Probably not, though.

The best I can do today is offer a dollop of wisdom that so flows forth from my brain.

It is said very frequently by those considered wise that a picture is worth a thousand words. I combine words and pictures in an entertaining blend of my inner workings and thoughts. If a picture is worth a thousand words, it means nothing if the words themselves mean nil. For instance, if somebody were to tell you that if you jumped off of a cliff with no protective gear, that you are likely to survive, you would consider them crazy, and thus, a picture of it would share in its worthlessness.

I have been thinking again. Most of what I say on here has no worth. It is merely my attempt at expressing my inner self in a way that I need not be self-conscious. It has significant worth to me, but not much to you. If  I were to tell you that in reading this that you are wasting your time, you would believe me. Thus if I drew a picture of it, it could tell what I can not express in the writing that I've already done here.

The gaping hole in the theory is that pictures take longer to develop and perfect than writing. Not that I care to perfect either of them...

This has been a dollop of wisdom by Glen Henry, who approves this message in spite of the hoards of people who do not approve it. Welcome to the hoard!
I get a lot of page views from different countries. Places like the UK might enjoy this, because I know that they can speak English, but I have the same amount of views as the UK by Germany. I wonder if it's just one person who can speak English going on multiple times. I get views from Russia, France, South Korea, Netherlands, Colombia, and more. It's really interesting to me. Maybe they just log on, see that it's in English, and log off.

Ich benutzte einen Übersetzer für diese, so wird es wahrscheinlich falsch sein.

Ich bekomme eine Menge von Seitenaufrufen aus verschiedenen Ländern. Orte wie das Vereinigte Königreich genießen könnten diese, weil ich weiß, dass sie Englisch sprechen, aber ich habe die gleiche Menge von Ansichten, wie Großbritannien von Deutschland. Ich frage mich, wenn es nur eine Person, die Englisch sprechen kann los mehrfach. Ich bekomme Ansichten aus Russland, Frankreich, Südkorea, den Niederlanden, Kolumbien, und vieles mehr. Es ist wirklich interessant für mich. Vielleicht sind sie einfach anmelden, sehen, dass es in Englisch ist, und sich abzumelden.

Maybe that will help. I used a translator, though, and everybody knows that it doesn't work that well for big phrases. Maybe I should put it in Russian, France and other languages. I'm not going to, though, Germany has the most views of foreign languages. Does anybody speak German and English?

It's that time of day again. I have posted ANOTHER comic today. It's in the Penguin Joe page. In case you haven't found out yet, the different pages are at the top. Just above the fish. Yes. Right there.

Another masterpiece by the Glen Henry. The real Glen Henry. That took me a good five minutes to make, so go back and read that until it takes you five minutes at the least. Now.


Did you go back? PLEASE go back. If you still haven't gone back, you are impassable. Like a wall of steel! Well, I guess that could be a good thing... No, you are like a big wall of generic spam. If that doesn't insult you, nothing will. Unless you like spam. I have no greater insult that could even equal that.

I'm sorry, that was out of line. I'm sorry. Just for that, you don't have to go back and read the arrow for five minutes. You are reprieved. I think you wasted enough time reading this.

Okay, I got another comic on today. This one is in the Penguin Joe page as well, so go check it out. I have no other dollops of genius to offer today, so make use of what I have already provided. And yes, genius often comes in the form of dollops.
I'm going to work on another comic today, but it probably won't be on the blog until later. For details, you need to see the post under this one. The one with the T-square.

I think I've figured something out. Something that is more or less important. Well, to tell you the truth, it may not be important to you at all. That's life. If you don't like it, don't read it. I've found out that creativity is like getting energy out that is stored up. Drawing, writing, speaking in public... All of those things release creativity. Then there are things that build up creativity, like listening to somebody speak, reading, watching videos or movies, even going on "socialnetworkingsiteslikeFacebookorTwitter". I think everybody should take at least thirty minutes a day releasing creativity, since it is natural to build up creativity, and slightly less natural to release it. Sound good? I thought so. Or did you say no? Save yourself the trouble, just say yes.

Good news, I think I may finally be using a T-square to get the panels for my comic to be good. Well, better than usual. If you have no idea what a T-square is, I think I'm going to try and find a picture and post it below this text
.
There you go. As a matter of fact, I have this same exact one! Not too bad. They can help get straight lines, straight angles, or to measure.

Not much to post about today... As far as comics go, I am still stuck on punch lines. It will be rather disappointing to find the punch line is not worthy of taking weeks to create, but I'm afraid it may be so. I need help...... with the comic......... furthermore, I say adieu*.

Yes, I'm Glen Henry, and I approve this message (if it's good enough for me, it's good enough for you!)

*i don't know how to actually spell that....

I've decided upon something, whether you care or not. If I am not going to be able to put a comic on the blog every day, I should at LEAST post everyday! It can give you a reason to check the blog daily, which is something fun you can add to the monotony* of everyday routine. I think that if I am not expressing my ideas via comics (which I will still do to my heart's content...) that I should give you some other feed of my thinking. Maybe this is just me being me, but maybe it's me being stupid, too. Either way though, if you took the time to read this, then you are probably not to....... opposed?... yeah, that works... Not to opposed to my posting every day I can. I have an idea for a comic, so be patient with me, I'm just trying to figure out the details (punchline, etc.).


I am Glen Henry, and I approve this message. Well, the above message.





*I had to look this word up... spelling is no friend of mine.

Now, I realize that in following this blog, officially or not, that you may not feel satisfied with the lack of daily cartoons or even weekly cartoons. School takes up a large amount of time, see, but when I'm not in school, I'm thinking of different things I can do, comic-wise. I hope that you can be a little patient with me, and I will try exceedingly harder to do better. Thanks,

From,
      me

Wow, indeed it has been a long while since I have posted anything, and for that, I am genuinly sorry. It has been harder for me, school starting and what not. Anyway, I added a new picture, so hopefully, in due time, you will begin to accept my lack of new comics during the school year.

A Whole New Section

Once upon a time, I became friends with someone. This someone is chock full of creativity, and possibly, we are to be associates in a whole new tab I may be introducing. Be on the lookout.

My Facebook Account

For all of you who did not get the memo last time I reported this, I have a Facebook account. Look up Glen Henry in the find friends box and I should pop up. When you become my friend on Facebook, you will get updates about the blog and/or upcoming comics on the blog.

"Inkscape" project

When you look in the random comics page on the blog, the first thing you will see is the billiards thing. THIS WAS NOT DONE BY HAND! This was me working on a free program you can download called "Inkscape". I hope I can continue to use this tool to make graphics and cartoons. You can try it too...

It's Sunday!

Be sure to check out the Sunday Strip for today. Every Sunday there will be a specially colored comic for it.

Present with no occasion! (Best kind of present!)

Okay, so there is some news for all of you peoples out there! I have recieved many a gift. I got some fountain pens and a nice bottle of India Ink. Every Sunday, I will do a special comic strip and have it inked and colored for you. Very nice.

New comics

I know that I haven't really been saying where the daily comics can be found. Most of them are in the Penguin Joe section.

Monday, January 23, 2012

Well there's bad news. And them some.

Okay, as I'm sure you might be well aware of, I havn't posted any comics in the last forever. I lost a vital piece to my editing system. I have, however, been making at least a comic a day, and I will now post one rough draft a day, and starting by catching you all up on what I've already done.
