Criticism!

Greetings, earthlings!

     Optiluiz here once more with a delayed comic! I'm terribly sorry about our absence last Friday, but things got a bit hectic, though we're fine now. In any case, this is our first comic with my chainsaw in god knows how long, and I've missed the old girl. We hope to find more uses for her in future comics.
     In real life I like to believe that I'm good at receiving criticism, but then again I also think that I'm the greatest dude on earth, so my opinion may be a wee bit biased. Go figure.
     Speaking of criticism, however, we have a new announcement on Friday, and I think you're all gonna like it. Meanwhile, you might notice some of our old reviews disappearing from the blog. Do not fret, all will be explained soon enough.
     I guess that's all for now. I still have to update the Brazilian version of the blog and get me some more orange juice. I hope you all have a great week, and don't forget to check back on Friday! We'll actually have a new comic this time, I swear!

Chainsaw cheers,

Thievery

Greetings, readers!

     Optiluiz here once more with a new comic remake, typing at the speed of sound. You see, ladies and gentelmen, I must finish this post as quickly as possible for reasons I'm unable to specify here. In any case, the above comic is another one of my favourites, and I think it looks a lot better with the new art.
     In other news, I've got a few literary presents heading my way thanks to my writing "career" and my generous girlfriend! As you all know, being a paranormal nut, I just couldn't resist getting the X Files Book of the Unexplained and Communion: A True Story from online used book retailers. I love waiting for things in the mail, don't you?
     In case you haven't heard, I've been updating our new Tumblr regularily, and you should pay us a visit! If you can't get enough of the ECB in your social media, don't forget to visit the About Us page for more links.
     I guess that's all for now, and I'm surprised at how fast I typed this out. I hope there aren't a lot of mistakes, but this will have to do for now. I hope you all have a nice week, and remember to check back on Friday for more comics.

Chainsaw cheers,

PS: I just found out that one of my favourite mockumentaries (Behind the Mask: the Rise of Leslie Vernon) is getting a sequel, isn't that awesome?

PPS: I have a lot of real stories about robbers, I think I'll share them with you guys next time.

Paranoia

Greetings, readers!

     Optiluiz here once more with a new comic! I've always been scared of the whole "Truman-Show" scenario of your entire life being nothing but a spectacle for the benefit of others, but at least I can poke fun at it with our comics. I just hope they're not entirely self-aware.
     Well, we've been busy beavers here at the ECB with social media marketing and such. Sure, sometimes real life does get the best of us, but we do what we can to keep you guys updated. In fact, I've even started a Tumblr, and will leave a link to it below.
     Outside the blog, life seems to have gotten more complicated. Maybe it's just the sudden realization of adulthood or maybe things are truly getting harder, but I'm trying to not forget how important this blog is, personally. I think Max agrees on that.
     I still have to make dinner, so I'll let you guys off early. Again. Before I go, however, I'll leave you with our usual social media links, so you'll always know how and when to contact us! Our new Tumblr is Here, our Facebook Page is Here and our Twitter is Here. I hope you all have a great weekend, and keep on rocking in the free world. I'll leave you with one of my favourite classic Youtube videos.

Chainsaw cheers,

The Machine of Tomorrow

Greetings, readers!

     Optiluiz here once more with an apology for the late post! A blogger's life can get a bit hectic at times, and sometimes that messes with our schedule. In any case, I hope today's comic makes up for our tardiness.
     Today's remake is actually from back when Max had left the ECB (temporarily of course), so we replaced him with the generic George, which shows up from time to time as an extra in our drawings.
     I've been biking a lot in the cold recently, and my body is feeling the consequences. As such, I think it's time for me to lie down for a few years hours. Before I go, however, I'd like to know what you guys think of the shading in our comics! It's something Max and I have argued over before, and I'd like to find out what our readers prefer.
     That's it for now, so I hope you've enjoyed today's post and come back for more on Friday!

Chainsaw cheers,

Waiting for UFO's...

Greetings, readers!

     Optiluiz here once more with a new comic! As you all know, I've always been a fanatic for everything paranormal (which does in fact include UFO's), so I don't agree with Max's opinion in this comic. I've actually written a short story about extraterrestrials that will be published in a few month- what's that? A new Star Wars trailer!?
     Everything today has pretty much been overshadowed by Star Wars: Episode VII's new teaser trailer, and I guess it deserves the attention. As a child, I always preferred sci-fi to fantasy, and Star Wars was very near and dear to my heart. Not even the prequels could take that away! Sure, during adolescence I began to admire more genres, but Sci-Fi was my first love. So... Yeah, I'm hyped for the new movie.
     I'd love to stay and write some more, but to be honest I have a lot to do and not enough time to attend to everything, so I must be off! I hope you all have a great weekend, and may the Force be with you! (And if you haven't seen the trailer yet I'll leave it here).

Chainsaw cheers,

PS: I've seen a UFO before, did I ever tell you guys that? What, you don't believe me???

Testosterone

Greetings, readers!

     Optiluiz here once more with a very manly post! Like many of our comics, this one is also based on a true story. In our search for higher levels of the manly drug testosterone, Max and I learned to appreciate some of the finer things in life, like rubber tires.
     All jokes aside, this is pretty much the closest I can get to discussing automobiles on the blog. Although most of my family is obsessed with cars, I find myself incapable of perceiving them as anything more than motorized couches on wheels (which, to be honest, still sounds pretty cool).
     In other news, I'm sure you've all noticed that we are now posting twice a week! Yes, this has been a long time coming, but I guess you all deserve it. Our comics are getting better, so why not celebrate by adding more quantity to the quality, right?
     I'm sorry to say this will be yet another short post, as I have been occupying myself with the search for a decent television series. I'm not sure if mass media is getting less interesting or if I'm just too critical to enjoy anything recent. In any case, I'll leave you with something educational and entertaining! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Chainsaw cheers,

-Optiluiz out...

PS: I must admit that I actually love the smell of fresh tires...

Friendly Fire!

Greetings, readers!

     Optiluiz here once more with a surprise! Welcome to Throwback Tuesdays, friends! Like I mentioned in my last post, Max and I decided that one post per week wasn't enough, so now here we are. In these posts, we'll be presenting you with remakes of some classic comics from when the ECB was in its infancy.
     Yes, we've come a long way from crudely-drawn doodles on MS Paint. In fact, Max has been trying out some new designs for our characters, which you may have noticed in this comic.
      Well, I guess that's all for today, folks. I've been feeling rather sick and have to go wrap myself in blankets in what my girlfriend calls a burrito of sadness.

Chainsaw cheers,
