Guest Strip by Mike Cho: It's Not Easy Being Green.
mike cho is not only a handsome devil but talented as well as can be seen with this week’s butternut guest strip!
check out mike’s blog (MICHAEL CHO’S SKETCHBOOK) for doodles by this madman of the two-tone, buy a t-shirt or two sporting his fine artwork (CHO STUFF) and by all means read his monthly webcomics that range from a space faring monkey to the history of the atom bomb at PAPERCUT under the transmission-x banner!
now that’s quite a bit of stuff to keep busy with. get to it!
ADDENDUM:
regarding the much asked question as to the return of the squash. well to happily satiate the mob, the squash will be returning on valentine’s day. somewhat appropriate i’d say :)

It might be my favorite so far.

Cool strip…but really, did you have to use “Faggy”? Was that necessary? I know it’s bleeped out, but it’s clear what was meant.

Oh my god, my sides hurt, i haven’t laughed so hard in such a long time.
Oh god, the blackness……..the darkness……..

@ ursie: I think it’s called “drawing”
January 17th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
ursie,
mike used a combination of photoshop and obviously his bad ass skillz (yep, you saw right, with a Z!)
i’m not sure if i’m revealing a magicians tricks here but mike drew the cartoonier elements and the more somber parts separately and combine them in photoshop, thereby ensuring he would get the best results for both.

Best guest strip ever, hands down! At work, we’re forced to listen to an emo-ridden station that is the musical equivalent of Ramon’s Journey of the Green Gaybles. Drives me %##@ing CRAZY.
Now I don’t mean to start up a big controversy, but in this lifetime, I’m oriented towards the guys, and I did not take offense to this at all. I guess I’m not a stereotype! I am so &#$^&$ tired of these ball-less emo idiots whinging about EVERYTHING, and you know this whole “I’m too deep to survive the world” CRAP is for landing another emo-cholic half-ass piece of demi-acoustic drivel on the charts, all so they can score gals or guys as the case may be. MUSIC? Not so much. I want to start a reality show: CELEBRITY EMO SKEET SHOOT, where they tie eunuch singers (and their ukeleles) to weather balloons and you score points for every digit or limb you shoot off – the higher the balloon (and the scream) the more points you score!
Anyway, laughed my ass off at the whole concept. Sorry for the semi-related disgression!

danm, that was good, but when’re you going to write your own strips again?
January 17th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
i guess i should have reposted from last week. we’ll be back on valentine’s day!
January 17th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
BUT WHEN IS THAT????

This is the first time I have ever liked a guess strip done for any comic strip. Definitely going to have to check out r. Cho’s other stuff.

BRILLIANT! Very very funny!!

Hi Cho,
I though nobody used those drawing boards anymore.
January 18th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
genius!

Have seriously loved the quest comics (checking out some of their sites now too), but I want my Rob and Ramon back!
RAMON!
ROB!
(I am now singing the song “Come Home Snoopy”, substituting “Snoopy” for “Ramon”.)
luv ya!

..genius. ; ;
i’ll fill the void in yr loveless life, ramon!

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for the nice words on my guest strip! It was fun to be in the “take shots at Ramon and Rob” line-up of guest-artists. I’m glad Cameron went on after Chip, though — for me to follow that insanity/genius would be like the Rolling Stones following James Brown on the T.A.M.I. show…
…and I hereby appologize profusely to anyone I may have offended with this strip!
P.S.: Ms. Nice — yeah, I still use a drafting table — and so does just about everyone I know. Kick it old-school, people!!
January 21st, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Beautiful stuff, Mr. Cho. You will forever be James Brown in my eyes.
January 21st, 2008 at 10:42 pm
I loved this strip! Great job Mike!

Loved the strip… The reaction Andy had was something that I can relate to. You Cannokes keep impressing this Okie… God I need to stop trying to force bad grammar and slang into my posts.
January 31st, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Sheer genius!
Killing many birds with one stone in this one, Cho!
February 5th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
teehee brilliant. I loved every second of this. Cho you’ve gained God points with this strip.
October 29th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
this is awesome, but what i really want know is what do the panels say that Andy rips up, just out of curiosity

Just popped over to Cho’s site and after reading it, reread this one and laughed for a good minute. Great post.
