Terrible Horrible is a comic that is just that. It’s probably the worst thing I’ve ever made in my whole life. I think it’s always a hit or miss, sometimes I read these feel like they are the worst thing on the internet, and sometimes I read them and think they’re awesome. You need to be in the mood. The newer ones are on the top.
The ever name changing collective of imhotep 2021, and meat pallet have been reimagined as Global Sand Architekten, and submitted an entry to the Sukkah City competition. The sukkah city team is Vivien, Hannah, Justin, and Myself. In short the sukkah is a temporary structure used in the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which is a harvest festival. Each year there is a sukkah built in Union Square, this year there was a design competition for it, and 12 will be built.
Our non-winning entry involved a lace cube, some falsified ruins, and floating trees. It was somewhat hectic putting this board together. Judging by the winners designs shown on the internet, we were way off with our design language, laughably off. Regardless, I like how it turned out, and hopefully the winners can get these things built correctly, because if so I think Sukkah City will be pretty amazing event.

The wait is over. That concludes the longest ongoing Terrible Horrible strip ever. So not worth it.
Thumbnailing my new 12 page comic and it’s looking better.
So the last Terrible Horrible was done some time in 2008. It’s 2010 now, thus this new one took 2 years to write and draw. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever made, BUT it’s the longest Terrible Horrible strip I’ve written, because it spans multiple 3 panel strips. I left you with a cliffhanger so you’ll have to tune in later when I post more.
In slightly larger news I would like to explain that this Terrible Horrible is a simple warm-up to getting back into drawing comics again. I finally met Paul Lau in NYC (we’ve met before, once – for like 15 min.) recently and foolishly we’ve decided to combine our efforts and make a split mini together for NY Comic-Con. Ground rules included: 5 characters, we would each get two, and share the fifth who will be an astronaut. We may have had a loose agreement to have it set in NYC. 12 pages each. I’ll explain more as things progress, but until then Terrible Horrible.
I updated all my wordpress settings and I lost my old wordpress layout. j_j
Now I have this layout. SO INTENSE!
Oh heart green acre sown with salt
by the departing occupier
lay down your gallant spears of wheat
Salt of the earth each stellar pinch
flung in blind defiance backwards
now takes its toll Up from his quieted
quarry the lover colder and wiser
hauling himself finds the world turning
toys triumphs toxins into
this vast facility the living come
dearest to die in How did it happen
In bright alternation minutely mirrored
Within the thinking of each and every
mortal creature halves of a clue
approach the earthlinghts Morning star
evening star salt of the sky
First the grave dissolving into dawn
then the crucial recrystallizing
from the inmost depths of clear dark blue
An Upward Look By James Merrill
Better late than never I guess, apologies this took so long to put up.
An Upward Look was our (Jefferson, Laura, Hannah, and myself) entry to the Chicago Hole Competition “MINE THE GAP” which won an honorable mention. The content consisted of the two boards above, you can click them to enlarge if you want to see some of the detail, or at least as much as a online image can offer. I hope you enjoy.
Hells yeah! I’ve always adored these.
…If I’m not mistaken, I believe I actually sent you an archive of these waaaay back when.
LOL…I swear the cat is mir.
I stumbled upon the Taco Bell comic spontaneously on photobucket a long time ago and for quite some time wondered where it was from… finally got down to googling it and, oh man, am I glad I did! This is honestly the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. Number seven is my particular favourite. Thanks for the laughs!
