#54 - Sorry.

Noticed that?

An explanation for abscence... by MatthewEastaugh8-07-01 This is a Party Political Broadcast on behalf of the Asian Girl Alliance.. Hello. We're the two Asian girls. Some of you may be wondering quite where Matthew has been lately... Others of you, to be frank, may not have cared less. The answer is quite simple.. The apocalypse is coming! ARGHH! Nah. Just A Level results on the 16th August. Gulp. He has returned now tho. YAY!
Bad Things Come To Those Who Wait... by MatthewEastaugh8-07-01 Following his return to comic making, Matthew is asked about the future by Sam.. So now the comics are back, does that mean I'm employed again? Of course it does, sweetie pie... YAAAY!! I wouldn't celebrate just yet, though.. Erm.. dare I ask.. why? You haven't my scripts yet. I've got worse. If that was possible...
The More Things Change.. The More They Confuse Me by MatthewEastaugh8-08-01 Introducing.. erm.. six people / things.. Hi. We're the new characters that popped up while Matthew was away... Unfortunately, he hasn't got a clue how to use us all yet. Oh well. It's understandable really, though, isn't it? I mean, what possible use could there be for a psycho bunny type thing, huh? Still, I suppose I could be used to actually make Gretchen look normal. There's an idea.... Nah, there'd be no fun in that, would there?
The problem with Beryl... by MatthewEastaugh8-08-01 Beryl. Always making trouble.. OH NO! What now, Keef? We added a new member to Beryl! And Matthew hasn't assigned Justin a character yet. Argh. Ah.. don't worry! I'm sure he'll think of something.. After all.. he was looking for a use for this little fella.. Okay, now making me a squirrel is entirely unfair. Midgets! Wet ones! Yay!
Well, I think she's great anyway! by MatthewEastaugh8-08-01 This is what happens when you lose a bet.... Yes, you do have to do this. Now get on with it, Duck! Or else. Sigh. Oh, okay then. Ladies and gentlemen, you asked for it, so heeeeeerre's MARTHA... Erm.. hi. I'm Martha. I like dogs, and people (particularly Matthew) say I'm really nice and kind and stuff. Bless em. I like dogs, and... Argh! Okay, that wasn't very nice...

Not one bit, boy! See, we make your mouth go all numb first, so it can't hurt one bit! Okay? Sure! I'll go sit down over here then. Be gentle! Don't worry, I will! Muhahahahaha!...

More truthful than you realise. Dammit. by MatthewEastaugh8-08-01 It took time, but finally he summoned up the courage.. Erm.. this is kinda difficult for me to say to you, but I just felt that now was the time.. Basically, I've been friends with you for a really long time now, and I think you're a great person.. ..but lately I've been finding myself feeling more than just friendship-type feelings towards you. In other words.. ..I.. I.. I love you. Wanna go out some time? PLEASE? ..to practice. Lots. Give him a few years, he might actually say it.. So Sam, d'ya think that'd work? Erm.. maybe. One thing though - next time, try actually telling her instead of me, okay?
This is a true story. It still hurts now... by MatthewEastaugh8-09-01 Matthew goes to the dentists... Right, now we shall lower the chair, so the removal may take place. Don't worry, it won't take too long, and it won't hurt.. Okie dokie. 20 minutes later... Ah. Well, see, this tooth is a bit problematic. I'm afraid we're gonna need to pull a bit more. Please excuse the blood.. AAAAAAAHHH!! Another 20 minutes later.. Well.. erm.. that'll have to do I'm afraid. I've stiched your gum up again, and wiped all the blood off.. hope it doesn't hurt anymore.. ...you have put me through hell.. for that you must die...

The world's first psychic comic! by MatthewEastaugh8-09-01 This is the world's first psychic comic! Think really hard, and this comic will reflect your thoughts... Right, you're doing great.. keep thinking! HARDER! YES! Got it! And the results are... Blimey, this is a bit crap, isn't it? I'm gonna go look at someone else's comics. See ya...
Free and single. Erm.. yay. by MatthewEastaugh8-10-01 After three days of nothing, Matthew and Sam finally talk again.. So, how was your day yesterday then? Fan-bloody-tastic. Had a great time. We went on escalators, and went to.. Stop. You know what this means, don't you? Erm.. what? Divorce time! Excuse me, I'm off to become free and single. See ya! Oh.
Matthew's law of summer holidays.. by MatthewEastaugh8-10-01 Matthew realises his holiday is half gone.. Well, I'd best make the most of the remaining few weeks. Let's see what's on TV... '..and now, Carol Vorderman presents Britain's Brainiest Gardeners!...' Okay, stuff that. Any one online? ..nope.. Well, we were gonna go out tonight, but some people are ill.. so we've cancelled it.. sorry! Bye! ...erm.. bye Marth. Well, that's that then...
It was superglue, I tell ya.. by MatthewEastaugh8-10-01 Re-introducing.. Laura! So, Laura, nice to see you again. Why you so happy? Well, duck.. I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST! YAY! Ooh.. congratulations! Erm.. one thing though.. What? How'd you manage to do that with your hand stuck to your chin like that? With great difficulty...
See the material I get to work with? Sigh... by MatthewEastaugh8-13-01 So, you're Toria, Laura's sister. The one who drew the.. ahem.. 'pink bunny slippers spider'? Yep. Right, hold on.. I have a surprise for you... back in a sec.. Ooh.. I like surprises! Gimme! And Toria never used real bunnies in her pictures again, for fear of the evil rabbit returning... RAAARGH! ARGH! Laura! The nasty man is scaring me...
Some people are never satisfied... by MatthewEastaugh8-20-01 Bet you can't do anything that'll impress me, Matthew... Okay Laura, you're on. Spontaneous human combustion good enough? Here goes... ...ARGH!.. There. What d'ya think now? Impressed? Erm.. Laura? HELLO? DUDE! A floating head! Woah!
Important announcement..... by MatthewEastaugh8-20-01 Hello. We're the two Asian girls. We're here to inform you of a very unfortunate occurance... It appears that due to a quirk in the StripCreator.com system, it refuses to display the latest comic here. Before this, it was displaying that awful psychic comic one. I mean.. sheesh! Anyway, we're sure you'll agree this is a much better temporary solution. Ahem.
Yet more limitations by MatthewEastaugh8-20-01 You know, I really hate this StripCreator making application thingy. I mean, it's now two weeks until Rach leaves for Japan. I wanna make a comic to commemorate that fact. And the only character left for her I can use? Well... Let's just pretend we speak on the phone a lot, shall we?
I could do this job. It's easy. by MatthewEastaugh8-20-01 Matthew sees the psychiatrist... So basically, I don't ever want to leave her, and I think she's great, and the best person I've ever met in my life.. ..and I don't know what I'd do without her, and I think she's perfect in every way.. ..but I still don't feel anything sexual at all towards her, and I could never imagine marriage.. ..or any stuff like that, but she's still so overwhelmingly amazing and stuff... ..do you understand what I mean, doc? Erm.. to be frank? No. I haven't got a blooming clue. Good luck!
New season, new characters... by MatthewEastaugh9-10-01 You take a short absence.. Hi there. I'll be playing the part of the scary drunk people who come into Roys. Hi. Due to my uncanny resemblance to him, I shall be David, who is Matthew's brother. You come back... In preparation for next week, I shall be Matthew's Uni Lecturer. Howdy. Hmm.. my StripCreator name is BigEvilDan. Guess I'll be Daniel then. And the scary people have invaded. Argh. As I am wearing purple, I guess I should turn out to be Rachel. Grr! And that would make me.... very scary indeed.
Rachel's adventures in Japan - #1 by MatthewEastaugh9-10-01 Hello, Rachel. Welcome to Japan. Any questions? Yes.. is there any way I can make myself more understandable to you, despite the language differences? ... ... Pardon?
They certainly aren't elephants... by MatthewEastaugh9-10-01 Rachel's great! We've admitted our feelings, and now I'm gonna wait till March, so we can be together. Erm.. Martha? Who's she? Daniel's great! No bloke has ever been as nice to me as him.. we really like each other. He's so funny! Erm.. Matthew? Who's he? Ever felt a bit.. well.. left out? Yeah, funny that, isn't it?
New season, stranger punchlines.. by MatthewEastaugh9-10-01 The strange... ...bzzzzzttt.... RIGHT. That's IT. Take this, you... The necessary.. Well, let's face it, we were needed. Otherwise this background would've been a complete waste of time.. ..yup! And the incredibly scary... AAAAAAHH!!!! Stroke the pussy. Feeeeed the pussy.
We're innocent, I tell you? by MatthewEastaugh9-18-01 About 10am, Tuesday morning... Hey there Duck! Fancy going out in a mo and taking the dogs for a walk? Yeah, sure! Just come round about half ten. We could sort out all the stuff about Uni for Thursday too.. Good idea! Right, I'll be there shortly. See ya soon, mate! Bye! See ya! (click) Aww.. that's nice. And no one can misinterpret any of that either.... Later on... Oooh! You and Martha walked the dogs! You obviously fancy each other. Bet that's not all you got up to, is it? Ooh! On second thoughts, Daniel always proves me wrong. Sigh.
Well, the sentiment was there I suppose... by MatthewEastaugh9-22-01 And now, Maura from DieselSweeties will say a few words.. Hi. On September the.. September.. Sh*t. Autocues bust. Erm.. help! Think up heartfelt speech... think up hearfelt speech... ARGH! Well, that WAS a lucky escape, wasn't it?
Not at all like the UEA. Honest. by MatthewEastaugh10-02-01 Hey Bob, how was that computer lab earlier? Hey! It was alright.. there was this one guy tho, he tried to start conversation with me, and I didn't even know the geezer! Sheesh. That's rather strange'n'all. Still, fancy going for some food? Yeah, that'd be a good id.. S**T! Quick, he's coming up behind me... Hey Bob! Fancy bumping into.. Bob? Where'd ya go? BOB?
Yay! More undersea characters! by MatthewEastaugh10-04-01 One of these things is not like the others... ..help!... One of these things just doesn't belong.. Hello. Yup. Hmm.. I wonder which one? AAARRGH! MY BODY!
Comics by Request #1 - By Canadian Laura! by MatthewEastaugh10-04-01 If this is bad, blame Laura... Hmm.. I'm hungry. There's always that unopened can of soup.. spose I could have that.. Argh.. but the damn cat is on my arm. My other arm, obviously, the one you can't see... hmm.. AH! IDEA! Soup, here I come! Nice pussy.. good pussy... stroke the pussy...
Cold calling - it never works... by MatthewEastaugh10-04-01 *DING DONG!* Erm.. who is it? Come and see! Erm.. hi. Who are you? Hi, I'm Matthew. I know you've just arrived at the UEA and all.. and it can get a bit lonely.. fancy being my friend? *SLAM* Bob, there's a strange guy at the door.. ...erm.. right. Best be off...

There's STILL no me.. by MatthewEastaugh11-22-01 Hey Dexx! I worked out an easier way of me being in a strip, rather than you drawing me! What do you think? .... Can someone turn the lights on please? Whooo... my eyes feel all funny...
Armageddon arrives... by MatthewEastaugh11-24-01 La la laaa laaa... life is great. Oh, hang on.. Matthew! It's an emergency! Listen! What now..? According to this, in strip #100, they're going to replace you with.. a NEW MATTHEW! ..we're all going to hell...
#100 - Transmogrification! by MatthewEastaugh11-30-01 Well, guess it's time for the changeover then. So, i just step in here? And there'll be no hitches or problems? Yep. Then I just close the door, and press the switch... ...like this.. Did it work then? Erm.. well, there appears to have been an unpleasant side effect. A Union Jack coloured one....
