Original Watercolor of Bazooka Remex P.I.

This is the promised blog post after the first episode of season 2. I am very hopeful that the new monthly comic format will be a realistic one for me. Thing is, I simply cant draw (and write and paint) them fast enough to keep up with you guys. The more leisurely pace has also given me the time to make the comics in a more considered way. That is not to say that they will be any funnier, just slightly more well drawn… 🙂

Bazooka Remex P.I. is the character I have always considered my narrator for the series. For some reason it makes me giggle when I read him in the voice of Humphrey Bogart. It has a certain gravatas that the rest of the comic lacks…Now for a little contest: The first person to respond with the correct answer (without Google!) of the significance of “#221b” gets…well…bragging rights!

Tune in the first Thursday of every month, for more of the exciting adventures of GONOGO!

 

Mayor McChez Sleeps With the Fillet-O-Fishes

Avid readers of GONOGO will have followed last weeks strip with glee because we are tying everything together in a nice little bow. Our Private Dick reveals that he is hot on the trail of Mayor McChez and he hints at a wider conspiracy involving the pharmaceutical companies. I am a fan of the film Noir genre, and this series of episodes have tried to hit lots of the tropes. Chinatown is of course a big influence, hence the band-aid on P.I. Remex’s face, and the hints at the greater, unknowable forces at work (Big Pharma…Big Water) No noir parody would be complete without the rapid fire back-and-forth, which figures prominently in this episode (so much so that it breaks with the format of the strip entirely)

This is the penultimate strip before the midseason finale. I hope to take stock and check-in with you loyal readers then to see if you like where things are headed in the comic (and to see exactly how many of you are out there) I would also like to know how you are reading GONOGO?
