I cooked up a little art. I’m a big fan of Donald Glover’s work. He’s a rapper (caution young folks, some strong lyrics are dropped on the other end of that link), actor, comedian, writer, and all around baller.

Also, check the latest F&I if you haven’t.

Hello!

I have some great news. My computer is back up and running after a harddrive and RAM swap. I’m now running fast and lighter than ever…like a wildebeest…that isn’t trampling lion-fathers.  I have taken this time off to recoup and I’ve been drawing like a fiend for the past week, getting comics ready. SooOOOOOOoooo, that means that Folly and Innovation will be back up and running this coming Tuesday (10/18). Updates will be Tuesdays and Thursdays, just like always.

You may notice I have made some minor character design changes, but otherwise the comic should return to its usual fare of fart jokes, internet humor, science, and the occasional random inspiration.

I would like to thank all of you who have been coming back and checking sporadically for new comics. It is my most fervent desire to not have to take a break like this again for a long while. I did want to give you guys a peek at some of the non-Folly illustrations I’ve been doing on the side. So, feast your eyes on all of this until your eye bellies get full:

Apparently I love drawing people who look sneakily off to the right. Also, that last on is actually a portrait of wife.

Exciting things are in the works.

Hello cool kids,

I have some bad news. Last week my computer made the executive decision, without consulting me, to stop working. One day it was chugging along just fine and the next, nothing.  I have narrowed the problem down to being either the hard drive or the motherboard. If it turns out to be the motherboard, I will need a new computer, but all of my data will be intact (along with the comics). If my hard drive broke I just need to get a new hard drive, but I lose all of my data. Not great either way.

I’ll keep you all updated on the progress, but as you might have guessed, this means that the comic will be on hold for a while. It might only be for a couple of weeks. Maybe as long as a month. But have no fear, I am on the case.

Keep it real homies,

Tom

Update: The search continues for a new computer. But I have isolated the problem to my hard drive, so I should have a working computer by early next week. Comic creation will then resume and joy will abound. I’m shooting for a mid October relaunch.

Hey everybody! It’s time for another installment of “Influences” – Today’s comic making duo is Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik of Penny Arcade. Here, as per usual are Varen and Collin drawn by me in their style:
