I’m Making a Comic – Gamer Girl & Vixen
Today is a momentous day, dear readers! It’s time to share with you something I’ve been working on for the past several months, something I’m rather proud of and excited about! Something to finally make me put my money where my mouth is!
I’m making my own comic book!
For three years, I’ve slaved away on this geeky comic book blog, talking about comics, reviewing comics, poking fun at comics; well now it’s time to throw my hat in the ring. I’ve teamed up with my friend and fellow writer Kristi McDowell to publish our own independent comic book.
We’re calling it Gamer Girl & Vixen!
The cover of the dazzling first issue!
Now, I know what you’re thinking. It looks like we’re just going to pump out another superhero comic in a world over-stuffed with superhero comics, professional, independent or otherwise. But I’d like to think you guys and gals know me better than that. And I hope you remember my #1 rule about writing comics: people first, superheroes second.
Gamer Girl & Vixen is a supervillain lesbian love story. My friends and I are not just churning out another boring superhero book. We want to be different. We want to be unique. Gamer Girl & Vixen is a mature love story for modern audiences, where two potential lovers realize they can only be themselves in the capes and costumes world of heroes and villains.
With some trouble along the way, of course!
Gamer Girl & Vixen is a fun, exciting and hopefully adorable comic that will touch upon issues of acceptance, friendship, love, shenanigans, and the complexity of relationships. It’s also going to feature some awesome superhero action and more than a little felony burglary.
This is a project that is very near and dear to my heart. I’ve always wanted to write comic books, and now I’m finally getting off my butt and making my own. Maybe publishers will notice it and maybe they won’t. All I know for sure is that it’s been a lot of fun so far, and I’m bursting with joy to finally share this with you.
Please join me after the jump if you’d like to find out more!
Do You Want to Build a Meth Lab?
Unlike most people on the Internet, I’m not sick at all of Frozen. I love the song ‘Let It Go’, even during that month when the receptionist at my office seemed to play it at least twice a day! So how about a Frozen/Breaking Bad parody? C’mon, you know you want to watch. It’s very well done, and the animation is great.
Also, watch out for Breaking Bad spoilers if you haven’t seen the show yet.
We have animeme to thank for this lovely video. They make the Epic Rap Battles, so are they good at songs and lyrics. You’re god damned right!
Cylons are the Ultimate Danger Zone
Some mad genius decided to mash-up Battlestar Galactica and Top Gun for probably the most badass video on the Internet.
I tip my hat to you, Nick Acosta. Your mad geniusery is a beacon to us all!

Some Only Leigh to Brighten Our Days
I’m going to level with you henchies: I’m on vacation, and man, is it easy to be lazy on vacation. I could be talking about the possible casting of Harley Quinn in the Suicide Squad movie, or I could be grousing about the weird new origin for Doctor Doom in the new Fantastic Four movie, but I really don’t care. Those are pop culture concerns for another day! Me? I’m watching new Only Leigh cartoons!
Life is good. Don’t ever forget that.

Bee and PuppyCat Returns, Making the Day Worth Enjoying!
If you’re not familiar with the Internet web cartoon Bee and PuppyCat, then take a few minutes out of your Friday to watch the first episode: Part 1 and Part 2. It’s an adorable, silly, kind of insane cartoon about a wacky girl and her pet puppycat. It’s made by Natasha Allegri, who worked on Adventure Time, so expect Bee and PuppyCat to be a lot like Adventure Time.
And that’s definitely not a bad thing. Bee and PuppyCat is weird and adorable in equal measure, which is the secret of its success.
Well after that first two-parter, Allegri and her team had to put the cartoon on the backburner to raise some money to make more, and possibly publish some comics. Whatever they were doing apparently worked, because we’ve got two new episodes to enjoy! The animation style is a little different, but it’s still the same cartoon we know, love and giggle at.
Enjoy!
I hope we can expect more Bee and PuppyCat in the near or far future.
