… you Google yourself and Google offers up a couple of “related searches”?
Every now and then I “Google” myself (I know, I know – doing so can make you go blind and grow hair on the palms of your hands) for a couple of reasons. One is curiosity and vanity (is that two?) and the other is to see if anyone’s talking about any of the comic projects I’m involved in.
Oh, come on – like YOU never Google yourself!
Anyway, when I looked tonight, Google had related searches at the bottom. My vast and deep knowledge of all things search engine related tells me that this means OTHER people have searched for Mike Imboden along with other keywords.
And what were the searches?
Mike Imboden Twitter
and
Mike Imboden cartoons
Sure, it could be on the few impostor Mike Imbodens out there that was being looked up, but remember – reason #1 for doing a search on myself is partially for vanity reasons, so it HAS to be me that was being looked up, right?
Anyway, I thought it was kind of neat.
Is it a Sign of Success When…
FoJ #6 – Page 2
PAGE TWO
Panel 1
[Fist is down on one knee, trying to stand back up]
FIST
I have no idea what you’re doing here, or HOW you’re here for that matter. But if the man in that limo is injured…
BLAZE
Injured?!? He probably looks like my wife’s pot roast right about now!
Panel 2
[Blaze is pointing at Fist, an angry look on his face]
BLAZE
And what do you mean how I am here? The way I figure it, YOU are the one who should be answering that question!
Panel 3
[Fist is facing Blaze, his hands up in front of himself as he makes a “let’s calm down” motion]
FIST
Alright, look – obviously there’s some questions we both have. So back down and let me check on –
Panel 4
[Blaze blasts Fist in the chest with a bolt of fire from his hand]
BLAZE
Ah-ah! Get back, blue-boy! I trust you as far as I can throw you – this is obviously some sort of trick –
Panel 5
[Blaze doubles over clutching his sides]
BLAZE
Nnnnngh! It’s happening again!
Fist of Justice #6 – Script
This issue was scheduled be released back in September. But, here we are like eight months later and it’s still not done. Now, we may not have a large following, but what fans we do have are very dedicated people who honestly love what we’re doing. As such, and while the delay isn’t my fault, I feel like I owe everyone SOMETHING.
So, I’m going to post the script for #6. It’s no replacement for the actual comic (you’re going to love the art), but this way you can at least get the story to some degree. And whenever we get the darn thing done, you can order your copy and read it the way it was meant to be read. But until then…
We’ll start at the, well, the “start”:
THE RETURN OF BLAZE!

CAP (Fist of Justice)
“It’s amazing how things can change in the blink of an eye.”
CAP (Fist of Justice)
“One second I’m watching an old man drive away – an old man who said he knew who I was – and the next his limo is a raging ball of fire courtesy of someone who should be somewhere between fifty and sixty years old.”
BLAZE
I have no idea what’s going on here, Fist-man, but if you’re involved then you no doubt deserve this!
SFX
FWHAM!!
CAP (Fist of Justice)
“He sure doesn’t hit like a sixty-year old!”
New Stuff
Like always, when I come here and say “Man, I need to update more often”, I wound up adding some stuff. In this case, a cool doohicky that let’s you share a post from here on Twitter, Facebook, Digg, etc. You’ll see little icons at the bottom of posts that you can click to share. Neat.
The other thing, which is totally bitchin’ (what? I grew up in the 80s!), is that all of my Facebook photo albums are now here as well! Just click the ‘Photos’ tab up top and you’ll be whisked away to a page that will let you select an album to look at. Sweet!
And who knows… some time after posting this I may have added something else.
Oh… Hello.
Well, so much for keeping up to date here.
Honestly, in the age of Facebook, Twitter and what-have-you, it seems like having a blog or website is redundant. If you can keep up with me in real-time on other services, why come here?
I suppose I could rant on topics, but that gets kind of old and predictable.
So, what should I use this place for?
FUBAR
Teaser image for…. well, something that you’ll find out more about soon enough. Right now I think I can safely say that;
1) I have something to do with it and
2) The idea for this image was mine
Stay tuned. More info in the weeks ahead.
Time for the SuperShow!
Alright, I’m not really taking a train, but I AM going to Reading!
Updates and pictures at some point.
The Return of Movie Time!
Boy, Howdy – has it REALLY been two months since I last posted something here? Man, I am truly sorry for being such a slacker. A lot has happened (sort of) and a lot is going on (sort of), so I certainly need to update things.
But in the meantime, and to show you all that I still love you, please enjoy another movie. This one is a drama I like to call “Walmart”:

Reason #137 Why This Country is in Trouble
This is totally ridiculous.
SAN DIEGO — Students were evacuated from Millennial Tech Magnet Middle School in the Chollas View neighborhood Friday afternoon after an 11-year-old student brought a personal science project that he had been making at home to school, authorities said.
Oh, this can’t be good, can it?
Maurice Luque, spokesman for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, said the student had been making the device in his home garage. A vice principal saw the student showing it to other students at school about 11:40 a.m. Friday and was concerned that it might be harmful, and San Diego police were notified.
This is REALLY starting to sound bad! In fact, it’s so scary I don’t think I should re-post any of it here. Instead, CLICK HERE and read the story for yourself!
