The Gloom - Week 4
Posted by TonyLee on Friday, November 9 2007 at 5:57 am
And so we head into November, and the cooler and colder part of the year. In England during this time we celebrate Bonfire Night by setting off millions of pounds worth of fireworks, usually by kids on street corners aiming at expensive cars. We call this the time of the car alarm. You can hear little bangs and little ‘beep beep beep’ all night long. In the US of course, this is the point of the year that you start to eye up turkeys with a manic grin.
I mean, let’s face it. November, December? Bad time to be a turkey.
And as the Writers Guild Of America go on picket strike (although personally guys? Bad timing. If I was you, and wanted to picket in California? pick summer) we sit around our cathode ray tubes and wait for the current batch of new television to slowly drizzle to a stop while many of the writers, taking the ‘animation’ opt out clause picket and start writing comics.
But fear not, children! For The Gloom is here! We’re not affected by the Writer’s Strike or by the hordes of marauding, firework wielding turkey biker gangs that club together at this time! We’re still here to provide you a weekly fix of funtastic laughnation!
But of course, you must reply to us in the comments so we know who’s reading - last week we had four comments, and one was from a commenter explaining his mistaken comment… so three? Three comments? I have way more minions than that!
To hell with this. Where’s my picket sign! I’m on strike! More comments for struggling comic geniuses!….

I humbly apply for minion status before this struggling comics genius. Behold this unworthy offering of a comment, because THE GLOOM is pure F-U-N! Looking forward to the next part! :)

Great entry, guys. I’m loving the sitric feel of the book and the clean art and bold colors make it a feast for the eyes. Love the new bad guy’s design too.
On a side note: I’m really digging all of the comics that have been appearing on the Chem Set lately. A wide range of styles and genres to suit anyone’s taste and each one is unique and of the highest quality. Great work everyone!

“satirical” is that messed up word in the second paragraph. Sorry for the additonal pointless comment…
