Veteran of a Thousand Meme Wars - Part XVI



Greetings!

Optiluiz here once more, fulfilling the prophecies of yore with yet another comic! It's been a long road but we've finally reached the end of this cursed "arc". I can finally sleep in peace again!

I'm joking, of course, but it does feel good to finally get this stuff off the page and onto the internet to be ignored by everyone (including myself), taking up precious server space in some warehouse on the other side of the world. Yay me!

Well, what have you guys been up to do this week? I finally finished Brutal Legend, which is something that teenage me would be proud of. I've also been watching Project Blue Book, which is basically to UFOs what Mindhunter was to serial killers (that means it's good, kids!). Other than that, well... I've been leaving the house a bit, I guess? That doesn't sound like a real accomplishment when you say it out loud, though.

Anyway, I won't take up any more of your time, but I'm glad you stopped by. Hope you guys and gals keep on visiting, and don't forget to follow our social media links in the "about us" page. I'll leave you guys with a cute video I discovered last month.

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out.

PS: There's still one final "Splash page" before Veteran of a Thousand Meme Wars is officially over, so look forward to that in the coming days.

PPS: I hope someone understood that it's a Blue Oyster Cult reference.

PPPS: Pretty bold of me to assume that someone will understand the joke if no one reads the comic.

PPPPS: The comic feels off without the splash page for context... maybe I should re-edit. But that takes time and energy and I only have one of those.

EDIT (22/03/2019): I ended up re-doing the last panel because why the fuck not.

Veteran of a Thousand Meme Wars - Part XV


Greetings!

Kept you waiting, hunh? Well, your boy Optiluiz is back in town with a brand new post, bringing us one step closer to finally concluding this everlasting story! Jesus, this has been our second-longest hiatus yet, but I'm happy to back. It's been a long road, but... you know what? Who cares? Just enjoy the poorly drawn artwork, goddamn it!

So... what have you guys been up to since I've been gone? I'm nearly out of college and produced some of mildly entertaining media since last time, and also had some fun times with Bloody Disgusting related stuff as well. 2018 wasn't exactly my favorite year ever, but I hope you guys had fun with it.

To be honest, for a while there I thought the blog was permanently dead. I mean, there's only so much free time during an adult(ish) week, and there was so much other stuff that took priority over making silly doodles with mediocre words pasted on top of them. However, as usual, I eventually realized that I need this blog more than the blog needs me, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than therapy, I'll tell you that.

I guess that's about it for now, but stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion to this long-delayed saga of not-so-epic proportions! Thanks for visiting, and don't forget to follow me on Twitter or some shit. Hope you have an awesome week, and I'll leave you now with one of Nico Vega's latest gifts to the world.

Chainsaw Cheers,

- Optiluiz out.

PS: Does anyone want to buy a pile of crappy movies on Blu-Ray? I might have made an ill-advised business decision.

PPS: Been reading the Illuminatus trilogy. Jesus Christ, and I thought House of Leaves was complicated. Really liking it, though.

PPPS: Relax, next week's comic is already finished, you won't have to wait nearly a year for it.
