Aaron returns P. 1

Good news everybody!  My friend Aaron wrote me and graciously wrote me some guest strips!  What a guy!  Also, my scanner is working again, and I don't know why!!!  Daniel says it was thanks to him.  Good for you Daniel!

Are you confused?  Why IS there two Aaron's?  Well, Mr/Ms/Mrs I-don't-keep-myself-updated-on-webcomics, read THIS comic and it will explain it to you.  Seriously, keep up though!  So the good news is that IWEARFEDORA is coming back online!  This week will be covered by Aaron, the wonderful chap (who's art has changed slightly since I saw it last, and I like it!) and then I will be back next week with my less artful comics!  So you can come back now, I meant no offense!

Oh and the minecraft knockoff thing was something Aaron did.  Every game ever was a minecraft knockoff.  Oh, how I miss him.

Cheater Sketches

        This one might be my most pathetic attempt to cover up the "I-really-can't/won't-do-a-comic-right-now" comic... heh heh heh, sorry.  Wednesday will feature a real comic, PROMISE! 

        This is the concept art that was made for me and Daniel in my friend Aaron's comic My Skinny Jeans Are Red which was the inspiration for my comic here (As I did a guest strip or two for him and just kept making them until it developed into I Wear Fedora).  I still don't like the polo he put on me.  Anyway this means something to me because it's sort of the beginning of my little pet project here, so now I'm going to tell you about another one!

       There's this silly little trend amongst people who play Minecraft (if this doesn't interest you yet, it won't for the rest of this post, so you can probably be done now) with tumblr "ask" blogs.  Basically, comic writers create a persona based on a Minecraft entity (be it a player or a monster) and answer the questions given.  One of the most popular ones right now is AskEnderbro because it updates REALLY frequently and has strong characters.  However, if you look, you can find an ask blog for just about any creature from Minecraft.

Except (so far as I can tell) the villagers in the randomly spawned village.  So I'm planning on doing one for them.  Fame at last.  I'm not sure when it'll start, and if no one likes it, then screw that I'll give it up.

Phew!  I'm done now.

Craftland Day 6

           Stupid stupid animals.  The fact that they now flee actually gets them killed more often by cliffs then they used to be.

So that's all for my Minecraft comics (for now anyway) I hope you enjoyed them.  I'm going back to the MWF update schedule, so that I don't drown (not that these take very long to make).  Stay fresh.

Craftland Day 5

See?  I told you I could do an update today!  Look at that!
       Minecraft didn't allow anything but the same speed pace before the update.  The addition of sprinting made escaping from monsters a lot easier, plus it just made life easier.  The only problem is that there is now very deep ravines which can be missed if one is looking up.  Sprinting into one is a good way to get very dead.

Craftland Day 4

See previous comic.

UPDATE:  Hey folks, it looks like I can't post a comic tomorrow because I'll be in the hospital getting my innards looked at because I was hurtin' something fierce today!  So I'll have one up Saturday for sure and maybe just possibly one tomorrow, but definitely much later than usual...

:P

Craftland Day 3

        First of all, if you are privy to minecraft knowledge, don't look down here because I'm just blatantly explaining the comic to the uninformed.

Ok.

      So in the old minecraft update, mobspawns (things that spawn a specific kind of mob) were only found in tight little areas called dungeons.  Also, they're weren't as many and cave spiders WERE NOT poisonous.  With the addition of abandoned mineshafts (which do not warrant explanation) mob spawns are more frequent, put out more mobs, and the cave spiders are the devil's own creation.  (Above land spiders still not poison).

Craftland Day 2

         Day two and another lesson learned!
You see, in the old update of Minecraft one could cross an ocean in maybe 5 minutes as ocean biomes (as they are called) and basically any other kind of biome were a lot smaller then.  The new update has changed that and now oceans can take 20+ minutes to cross.  It's mind-bendingly boring.

Craftland Day 1

       For all you people who don't really know minecraft, now it's your chance, cuz it's minecraft week for me!  I'm going to be updating daily this week til saturday about things I've learned about the recent minecraft update!  I will also explain it for the unenlightened.
       In Minecraft, there are creatures, that are commonly called mobs.  Some are useful (cows, chickens, wolves, and pigs) while others are hurtful (spiders, creepers, skeletons, and zombies).  This new mob that I found is called and Endermen.  They're unique in that they won't bother you at all unless you look directly at them.  Do that and then they just stare.  Look away for just a second and they teleport right next to you and knock your block off!  I learned that one pretty quick...

Obsessions

Yep, I've become addicted to the world of Minecraft I'm afraid.  However, o as not to be too self indulgent, I'll keep the comics about it to a minimum.  On a relate note it seems to me that these here comics are turning into a sort of "journal" style of comic, which intrigues me because that was not at all my original goal, but c'est la vie.  I hope you people still enjoy them anyway!

Shaving Issues

Todays art: Rather poor.

(And yes, that is Minecraft being played on the laptop there)
