The Life & Times of Optiluiz - Part II

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here once more with a new comic, fresh out of the oven! Hope you're all doing well, as I've been having one hell of a weird week. Although, to be honest, I think these are strange times for everyone. The Amazon is on fire, Pepe the frog is being used a symbol of the resistance in the Hong Kong protests and billionaire pedophiles are being murdered before they can incriminate the rest of the elite. Yikes.

Well, on a lighter note, I've been feeling like a regular Hackerman these days. I can't go into details without giving the FBI even more reason to put me on a watchlist, but let's just say that a certain someone can finally play the original Clock Tower on their TV, pointing and clicking with a Wii-Mote. Don't judge me, I lead a boring life.

I hope you guys are liking the new comics, as I've got something special in store further down the line, but feedback is always appreciated. I'm not delusional enough to think I'm a great artist, but I like to think that I've learned a thing or two over the years through the bizarre project that is the ECB.

Actually, the other day I was thinking about how I've been posting less and less over the years, and how the original blog had more reviews and idiotic opinion pieces, and then I realized that I *haven't* been writing less, I've just been posting most of my opinions elsewhere, and the blog is now reserved for silly comics and even sillier life updates. I guess things really don't change, do they? But don't forget to check out my writing over at Bloody-Disgusting and Strategy Informer if you like to read my words.

So... what else? I hear Max is coming back to town, which means we might see some new crossovers, soon! I'm also working on a few new movie projects, one of which is relevant to the blog. Oh, I can also confirm that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is one of Tarantino's best movies so far.

Oh crap, looks like I'm ramblin' again, so I better leave before it gets worse. Love you guys, and thanks for visiting (if anyone actually does). I'll leave y'all with something that reflects how I've been feeling lately.

Chainsaw Cheers,

-Optiluiz out.

PS: Do you guys recommend any good Wii games?

PPS: I think I'm going to start programming ECB-themed Text Adventures. What's the worst that could happen?

PPPS: Bring a little lovin', bring a little wine!

PPPPS: Finally got around to seeing the new Child's Play, and I liked it a lot more than I expected to!

The Life & Times of Optiluiz - Part I

Greetings, Epic Clubbers!

Optiluiz here with an unexpected new post! I just got home from a nearly 10-hour voyage, but that won't stop me from bringing you the first chapter of the ECB's latest story.

Feels good to post something new for the first time in forever. For a while there, I was actually considering going back to one-shot / three-panel stories like the good old days, but I figured that I had at least one more good arc in me before throwing in the towel.

If all goes well (and I don't disappear for another year), this will be the funniest and most personal tale the ECB's seen in nearly a decade. For now, however, I hope you enjoy my mediocre drawings and ramblings. I've been in a bit of a melancholy rut lately, and was revisiting old hotmail conversations with friends (along with the blog's early days on Wordpress). All that cheerful cringe actually managed to motivate me to go back to posting regularily, and I hope things work out now.

If anyone's curious about what's become of Optiluiz in these past years, I'll give you a brief rundown of where things are at the moment: I'm nearly done with college, juggling two online writing gigs in order to stay alive and buy overpriced popcorn at the theaters, working on several projects that I hope to share with you all and trying to be less of a fat, lazy fuck.

The rest is just details, but if you guys ever want to know more you just have to hit me up in the comments (or social media). Now, I'll leave you guys with something that's been playing on repeat in my head this past week. The so-called "Most Mysterious Song on the Internet" is actually pretty good, and I hope they find the artists behind it soon. Thank you all for visiting.

Chainsaw cheers,

- Optiluiz out.

PS: Watched several fun movies during this year's trip to Maringá. Arachnophobia, Slaughterhouse Rulez, Hobbs & Shaw and Long Shot are all worth a watch in my book!

PPS: Expect to see the Mothman again *real* soon.

PPPS: I wonder if any of my stuff will be remembered like this song one day. Hm.
