I wanted it to look like a little kid painted it, so when I finished I went around to all my family telling them this was the greatest thing I've ever done, and it was funny trying to see them tell me it's terrible in a nice way.

2010-09-04T17:05:00.000-07:00

So the first picture is my standard picture of the S.S. Poop deck for Pirate Comic. The second picture is my standard picture of the ship Argo for my next comic Jason and The Argonauts. I just think it's interesting how I use similar angles of the ship like this. Except Jason and The Argonauts is more funnier and has more action and story then Pirate Comic.

So, all my recent posts have been related to Greek Mythology in someway. The reason for this is because I'm starting my next comic, "Jason and The Argonauts: The Quest for The Golden Something". It follows the story from greek mythology of Jason and The Argonauts and the quest for the golden fleece. Except in this version it isn't a fleece they don't have a clue what it is...

2010-07-12T10:45:00.001-07:00

The iron beast plunged deeper into the thick, dense trees.
The Silence broken by the bawling shrill of its cry.

The long tail swiftly sweeping away from the horizon line.
The Rhythmic pattern of its movement is hypnotic.

The steam shooting up high into the clear sky from within the belly of its iron core.
The marvel of the beast is something I can't take my eyes off of.

But that could also have been because of the ropes that tied me to the tracks.

Running with Scissors (another script)

2010-04-27T09:17:00.001-07:00

Running with Scissors

(See Joe flying a kite, but the kite itself isn’t seen, only the string)

(Joe is looking up at his kite when Billy runs behind Joe through frame)

Joe: Hey!

Billy: (Walking back into frame) Oh, hey.

Joe: What are you doing with those scissors? You know your not supposed to be running with scissors!

Billy: I wasn’t running. I was jogging…

(Joe just stares at Billy angrily)

Billy: …barely even jogging, more like fast walking. Medium walking at best.

(Joe is still looking at Billy like he’s stupid)

Billy: Alright, running.

Joe: You shouldn’t run with scissors man! You can trip and poke your eye out!

Billy: Aw, go fly a kite!

(Joe about to point out to him that he is)

Billy: Forget I said that, who are you anyways? My mother?

Joe: No, I’ll give you two more guesses.

Billy: (Sarcastically) Eh… funny… (Normally) How’d you like it if I poked your eye out huh?

Joe: It’d save me the pain of looking at you.

Billy: Yeah… well… (Billy is lost for words)

(Joe realizes he’s won the argument and goes back to flying his kite triumphantly. Billy looks up at the kite, then down at his scissors. Billy then cuts the kite string and walks off happily. Joe just blinks and turns his head to Billy)

Running (Script written by Nathan Shaw)

2010-04-26T10:14:00.000-07:00

(See Billy far in the distance running toward the camera. Near the camera is Joe who’s just hanging around)

Joe: Hey, where have you’ve been running?

Billy: Oh, well, I started right here actually; then I ran around the world.

Joe: Whoa! Really? How long did it take you?

Billy: Oh about 20 minutes…

Joe: What! 20 minutes!?

Billy: Well 20, 25, something like that.

Joe: You can’t run around the entire globe in 25 minutes!

Billy: Oh, UI didn’t run around the entire globe. I just ran around the world. Like, you know when you say you’ve run around a field? Well you didn’t literally run around the entire field. Well that’s just was I was saying.

Joe: Well why didn’t you say you’ve run around the block or something. Instead or around the world!

Billy: Well, I didn’t like the sound of it.

Joe: Well what about that book, ‘Around the World in 80 Days’? What would have happened if they just took a stroll around the block?

Billy: Well, then that wouldn’t be a very interesting book would it?

Joe: (Looks angrily at Billy)

Billy: My, running around the world certainly does work up an appetite doesn’t it? I think I’ll go eat a cow.

Joe: A cow!?!

Billy: Well not the whole cow of course, just the-

Joe: Aw SHATUP!! (Walks off)

(Billy looks at Joe walking off, then looks at the camera)

8 Easy Steps to Becoming a Super Spy. Rough

2010-04-12T10:54:00.000-07:00

8 Easy Steps to Becoming a Super Spy

(See John walking down the street, then a book just flies out of nowhere and smacks him in the face)

(John gets up and camera looks at the book, slowly zooming and in with theme music)

John: Where is that music coming from? (looking around)

(Music stops)

(John opens book and starts reading, Narrator is narrating what he is reading)

Narrator: 8 Easy Steps to Becoming a Super Spy, The greatest instructional manuel ever to be created. (Here lots of music and drums)

John: Where’s that music coming from?!

(Music stops)

Narrator: Step 1: English Accent. All great super spies have a persuasive English accent, so let’s here your English accent.

John: I do say, how about a little bit biscuits and tea, then later we can go play a little croquet. Bloody well.

Narrator: That was terrible. Maybe we can just skip this step. Lets move on to Step 2: Theme Song.

(See some person’s iPod, and they play song called “Super Spy Theme Song”)

(John starts bouncing his head to the music)

Narrator: Good, Step 3: Cool Catch Phrase. A catch phrase needs to be sly, cunning, crafty, clever, devious, and most of all, wily.

John: What’s a wily?

Narrator: (Deep Breath) Just do it.

(John takes a couple breaths, really intense music, camera zooms in on John, John pauses for a second)

John: Okey Dokie!

Narrator: Alright, now let’s try something that isn’t retarded.

John: How about… (Same intense moment with Camera) Free Wily!

Narrator: (Silent) Your hopeless. Step 4: Stealth! Lets try it!

(Lights go out, hear the sound of a big crash, lights come back on. There is no sign of John, Camera pans around quickly and spots John tangled up in a bunch of chairs)

Narrator: Don’t try this at home kids. Step 5: Disguise. You need to make yourself blend in with a crowd.

John: (looks around, Shrugs)

Narrator: Try some facial hair maybe…?

(John puts his finger under his nose to resemble a moustache)

Narrator: Good, Step 6: Secret Code words here try and deliver this package to a Mr. Gibbs and use only secret code words.

(John runs off)

(John walks to a table, looks around and sits in a table where a random guy is sitting)

John: Do you have the devise in place?

Random dude: Uh… sure? Hey what’s that on your mouth?

John: (looks down) Oh heh heh. That is my moustache.

Random dude: (looks at John like he’s crazy)

John: So, you have the devise in place, no? (Puts a big bok on table) Here is the package

Random dude: uh…

John: Is there a problem?

Random Dude: Huh? Oh no problem

John: Alright, do you have the payment?

Random Dude: What? No

John: You disappoint me Mr. Gibbs

Random Dude: Who?

John: You are… you are not Mr. Gibbs!?

Random Dude: Nope.

John: You are sure?

Random Dude: (Nods head)

John: Um.. you saw nothing Mr. (Picks up box and runs away quickly)

(John is reading his book again)

Narrator: Step 7: Charm. Every Super Spy has to have charm with the ladies. Hey, there’s a nice lady over there. Go and show her your charm.

(John runs over and you only see them talking. Suddenly the women gets angry and slaps John and walks off angrily, John goes over and grabs book and continues to read)

Narrator: Alright, so that didn’t go so well, but we should move on to the next step. Step 8: All great Super Spies can take a hit by a women, so Step 8 is Getting Slapped by women.

John: What

(Camera zooms out a bit and girls keep coming up to him, slapping him, then walking off. Maybe about 3-5 girls do this)

(See John walk to the bottom of a stair case, and reads his book)

Narrator: You have now completed all the steps to becoming a super spy! English Accent, Theme Song, Cool Catch Phrase, Stealth, Disguise, Secret Code Words, Charm, and Getting Slapped by Women.

(During this John walks up all the stairs)

John: Now what?

Narrator: Nothing, you just walked up a bunch of stairs.

Letter of Complaint

2010-03-01T16:09:00.000-08:00

Dear Nature Valley,

I am a typical high school student with a slightly above average, but very consistent, grade. I have recently purchased one of your “Jumbo Variety Pack: Sweet & Salty Chewy Nut Bars” and I must say, it was one of the most sweetest and most saltiest chewy nut bar I’ve had in quite a long time. I think I speak for all typical high school students with a slightly above average grade when I say, I am disappointed in the ratio between the peanut and almond sweet and salty bars.

I’ve got nothing against peanuts (besides the fact that about 3 million of the earths population are to allergic it) I regularly have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But a time comes in every man's life when he's had enough of peanuts, especially after a long day when he goes to eat some sweet and salty bars, but finding that only peanut is left. The point I am trying to get across is that your “Jumbo Variety Pack: Sweet & Salty Chewy Nut Bars” has a ratio of 3:5 almond to peanut sweet and salty bars.

If I were you guys, I would try and narrow this ratio down to 1:1, maybe even create a new type of sweet and salty bar, such as cashews (A bold, but right move) and have a 1:2:1 ratio, nature’s perfect ratio. Despite this flaw, I would like to continue eating your delicious sweet and salty bars because I feel it can be overcome. I would like to continue to eat your sweet and salty bars. Thank you for your time, people of Nature Valley.

Thinking of your sweet and salty bars constantly,

Nathan Shaw

James: You expect me to talk?

Bob: No. No. I expect you to...

James: Expect me to what?

Bob: Er. Oh sorry. I just had a Déjà vu.

James: How do you mean?

Bob: Well. This whole setting seems familiar to me.

James: I don’t think thats Déjà vu, but more of a cliché. Don’t you think?

Bob: Hmm. I don’t know about that.

James: Well, because this scenario is so familiar to the audiences and to us, and it immediately establishes our characters and what is going on. Making it a cliché.

Bob: Hmm. Well, I guess your right. Either way. I’m gonna kill you.

James: (With a big smile on his face, quickly turning into a frown) oh..
