Hey, all you cats and kitties! Joe Beats, here. Ekt is dead, just like God. But I've survived the implosion of his strip, daddio! I even gave myself a name, see?
I'll be headin' up this new joint, dig? But I ain't goin' to see a zombie flick with no damn zombie, see? That'd just weird me out, man.
Me call. You Spike. Spike waaant. Go seeee. Scooby-Doo 2. With Zombie? Be Zombie's. Friend?
Sure, kid. I totally dig that Velma chick. She was in Freaks and Geeks, y'know. And a throwaway role in Dead Man on Campus. But she was in just her bra, bro'!

Not. Thaaat much. Else. For liv. Ing dead. And. 50s cliche. Do with. Their tiiiime.
I heard that.
Say Spike. How you. Pronooouncesss. "bro'"?
Kid, it's like you're sayin' "brother," but just stop before the "ther" part. Kinda tricky till you get the hang of it.
Yesss. People used. Say it. With long. "Ohhhhhh."

That's why I add the apostrophe. To differentiate. I'm not sure if there's some other way to spell this pronunciation, bro'.
Now hit the bricks, kid. You're grossin' me out, with all your rotting flesh and danglin' bones, an' all.
Oh. Kay. Zombie. Go...

I'm here to save your soul.
No way, chief!
I said "save," not "shave." And when i said "soul," I didn't mean "patch."
Oh. A'ight, that's cool, man. But just stay outta my head, okay?
...
Mindsay forgot how he was gonna end this strip. Such a procrastinator! If he'd've made it way back when he thought it up, maybe it wouldn't suck so bad now.

Btw, I saw that "Passion" movie, chief. I've been wonderin', did you see it? And if so, did it make you cringe at the painful memories it dredged up for you?
Well, no more really than, say, this avatar thing here at stripcreator does. Not to mention all the crucifixes people use to symbolize their faith.
Drag, man! I've never been one for organized religion, m'sef. Spirituality is more of a personal thing, you dig?
I feel ya. Serious, I can't stand all the wars and hate crimes and stuff done in my name. There's a special place in you-know-where for those people....
to be continued...
Hell yeah, I know whatcha mean, chief. Right on.
Anyway... um... so how'd you like the movie? Get anything out of it?

Well, the past few weeks I keep hearing news stories about how it affected people. Everything from heart attacks in the theater to confessing to murder, y'know?
*nods*
My thing though, is I realized I've been taking tall tables and chairs for granted, man!
I mean, I dig the whole Japanese chabudai kinda thing, but... I never thought about how low tables used to be more sort of, like, universal, y'know?
That scene was creative license, you know. Meant to show my humanity, but at the same time my ability to see the future. That, specifically, never actually happened, though.
Wow, man. Really? Far out! ...This strip is almost like a palindrome, isn't it?

(this is how Joe makes his coffee money)
We live... in a random universe. The fates are fickle. The weather man never predicts 100% chance of anything, man.
We're all just poor players, fretting and struttin' our stuff on the stage that is the world. But my man Will said it best: This tale is told by an idiot, man!
Each mornin' the sun comes up, but it's all part of the scam! Each day we're lulled into a false sense that things should and will make sense, from day to day...

But at any given moment, WHAM! BLAM! SPLAT!
Armageddon, kid.
But don't worry. S'all good. It's a wonderful world, again...

Cuz all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death and dismemberment.

Kenosha, Wisconsin's own... Weezer! (Oh, and please... try the fish.)
That's not so good, Al.
Yup, yup, yup, yup, yup....
We live... in a random universe. Life and death are interchangeable and fully reversible. White is black, and beauty truth. A rose by any other name would really smell like poo-poo...

Damn, man!
I don't know... how can anyone know anything?
Spontaneously created falling anvils and sperm whales are the number one cause of death... in petunias and cartoon characters, counter-respectively.
Oh, the gravity! Oh, the Vogonity! I love the smell of napalm in the morning!

Hey, man. I was looking for Jesus. You seen him anywhere?
He's taking the day off. I'm handling his affairs for now. Can I help you?
Well, y'know, I mainly wanted to wish him a happy rebirthday, y'know?
He is aware of your well-wishes. He appreciates the sentiment.
Cool, man. Uh... there was something else I wanted to talk to him about... Will he be back tomorrow?
Probably. But he has been feeling a little down lately about not having an avatar without a cross, around here. It just seemed especially inappropriate today....

I can dig it. Well, I'll come back, then. But speaking of taking the day off... I was wondering. Do they eat chocolate bunnies in Heaven, or is that too commercial?
Are you kidding? How could Heaven be Heaven without chocolate?
True, that. But the bunnies, y'know...?
...Are an ancient Pagan symbol. Hey, God loves the world. He wants people to be happy. That's why he let the early Church steal all the cool Pagan holidays. So Christian ones would be more enjoyable.
Really? I never knew that! Kinda makes the whole "Passion" thing seem trivial, by comparison.
Indeed. What's one long day of unspeakable suffering to absolve us of all our sins, compared to an eternity of candy and fun, a few special days out of every year to come?

Hey man, sorry about the avatar thing. Hope you get a new one sometime soon. Meanwhile, how was your day off?
Actually took the weekend off. It was pretty sweet. Heaven's got the best chocolate bunnies!
Dig. So anyway, I've been meaning to ask for awhile now... how do you feel about me being friends with a zombie?
Hey, I'm down with the Voodoo, mon. After all, no religion is all right or all wrong. And Voodoo's got ties to Christianity. Besides, look at me an' ol' Lazarus...
Say, that's right! You both came back from the dead! Better job of it than any other zombies I've ever met, though.
Thanks. The secret is to save the ganja use for your off hours. Ya gotta have a clear head when you're working, or the work will suffer.

Seriously, though... Are you telling me you ever smoke the stuff?
Look, I'm nailed to a cross. It's medicinal, okay?
Riiiiight. Good one, chief. Seriously, though.
I can neither confirm nor deny; neither condone nor condemn. But you know what Ben Franklin said: Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
I know, man. Benny was the man, man! I enjoy a coupla brews, on occasion.
...Of course, I'm more of a wine man, m'sef. Turning water into the stuff is a convenient super power. Mention that to the teetotalers next time they start preaching...

The punchline is a cipher wrapped in an enigma smothered in secret sauce.
Y'know... I'm really glad your old man's got a sense of humor. Otherwise, I don't suppose humans would have one.
True that. Of course, humans have things Dad doesn't. Mostly bad stuff, though. All good comes from him.
But another thing is, I'm glad I can joke around about you, or him, or whatever, and he'll take it in the spirit in which it's intended. Not get all pissed, y'know?
Yep yep. It's unhealthy not to have a sense of humor about onesself. Especially if you're famous. Or almighty. Besides, humans are here to entertain, in part. And humor is one way they do that.
Right. Of course, he plays some jokes on us, too. Sometimes I think his sense of humor can be a little too twisted. In too many ways to count. Sometimes it almost seems mean-spirited.
Nobody can pull a practical joke like Dad, alright. But hey... being able to laugh at yourself is a two-way street, buddy. Ya gotta get what you give.

*sigh* I miss Cappio.
Zombie... never have... Cappio. You think... he had... he still be... live? Now?
Nah, man. I mean, I'd have ta ask th' FDA about that, but I doubt it.
Zombie miss... Cappio. Too. Want try! Now!
Chill, o putrescent one. I'll get on the horn to Maxwell House, see if they can revive it, so we can see if it'll revive you.
Yaaay! Zombie love. Spike!

You know, the first time I met ekt, it was right here. He was talkin' about how he missed Cappio.
Zombie. No know. Ekt. Where he? Go? What he? Like?
Man, he's a ghost. He looked real an' all, but that's what he be. So it's appropriate he's gone now. Cuz he's a ghost. Get it?
Zombie no good. With humor. But zombie like. Ghosts. Know some. They're good. People. ...Mostly.
Yeah. He could be a drag, a pain, a total nuissance. But he was generally a better conversationalist than you, buddy. Or at least a quicker one.
Zombie no need. Stand here. Take this. Abuse. Zombie go. Home. Call me. When you hear. About Cappio.

Man, Adult Swim sucks now. But I still love it. Maybe I'm too loyal.
I wonder why the hell it sucks? It hasn't really changed, has it? It's still all about randomness. Maybe it's me that's changed.
Or maybe there really can be too much of a good thing. Maybe Williams Street should cool it for awhile, stop relying so much on the same old trick week after week.
Or maybe it's like Jason said one time, it comes around.

Time to make my internet rounds.
Oh joy.
Ah, the Adult Swim Message Board!
Hurray.
This place... is so frellin' great! It's just like being drunk. Dude! I so love it. ASMB #1 forever! w00t!
Aren't I dead? And what the hell are you doing in this strip, anyway? Where's Joe Beats?

I dunno if I'll make any more comix in this strip. But if I do, just pretend my name isn't "mindsay." Cuz that blog site is dead to me now.
You haven't answered my questions yet.
You're a different computer. But any computer is gonna hate me, so whatever. And If I do any more comix, they'll mostly be with Joe Beats, so don't worry. I'm outta here.
Sweetness. So get gone, already.

If anybuddy's looking for me, I'll be at LiveJournal...
Trust me, nobody's going to be looking for you....

So...
?
mp3s sure are shiny, huh? Plus with the wine. I um, wish I had something interesting to say. I'm happy now though.
We haven't been introduced. I'm, uh, ekt's computer. He's not dead, you know. Not really a ghost, either. He just hates life. Except for a few bits.
Yeah. Sigh. I'm bored. Wanted to make a comic, but have no ideas. Maybe I'll go play pokemon sapphire. Nice to meet you.
Are you sure you're not really ekt? Stop talking like him!

Your computer says you're not dead or even a ghost.
True dat.
Do you miss your old comic?
You mean the one I complained that Brad hadn't deleted like he did all my friends' comix, then he deleted it? Yeah, some of them. Some I'm glad are gone, though.
I must admit, a few of them were good. The adventures of ekt across the 2nd dimension. Sigh. Bunch of suck, plus a bunch of cool. Yeah...
Just so people know what you're talking about a few places in your comic...

Hey zombie, wanna go see Shaun of the Dead?
Zombie... no even... see... Dawn... of Dead... yet!
Yeah, me neither. But I wanna. I also wanna see Shaun.
Zombie... do... too. But um... is it play? Ing? here?
Dunno. Meh, I dunno, maybe we should see Sky Captain anyway.
Yeh! Zombie like... that kinda thing. Never get... see movies... though. Ushers no like... zombie. No let... me in....

Louis Armstrong singing "Just One of Those Things." Good mp3. Good Gossamer Bay. Shiny.
"Shiny" is a word I got from Firefly. Go see Serenity next April, fools. It's sure to rock totally.
Damn, computer's right, I do talk like ekt when I'm drunk. I wonder why that is? Plus Jewel Staite is totally hot. I thought so ever since Flash Forward. Gasp!

Hey zombie, buddy. Halloween's comin' up soon. You got any big plans?
Oh... yesss... Spike... my friend. I Plan... to go out... in costume. Gooood costume. You... will be... surrprisssed.
Yeah? I ain't even thought about a costume this year. But you know I'll be havin' some hard cider. Woodchuck's got raspberry flavor now, gotta try dat.
Suuure. Zombie no drink... anymore. Goes right... through me. But Spike... have fun.
Will do, ma bruthah. Okay then... look forward to peepin' yer costume. Catch ya later, kid...

Heya, I'm ekt. Boy, this Nosferatu beer is so frickin' sweet! So who are you s'posed to be?
I'm a grade school teacher. I was in one of your comix before they all got deleted. It was one of the better ones, though I was only in the first panel.
So... you havin' a good Halloween?
Quite. I may not look it, but I'm having a wild time. Party on, dude!
Party! Hey, ya want a Nosferatu, buddy?
No thank you, good sir. I'm rather sloshed already. I'm between engagements, however, and the next one I hit is certain to have more libations. I should like my current buzz to fade a mite first...

 

by mindsay
10-31-04
So, it's time to take off our costumes.
Capital!
Ha ho! It's me, kid! Good ol' Joe Beats. Pretty sweet costume, eh? Bet you can't top that. So, do I know you?
As it happens, I do believe that you do...
Dint... see... thisss... co...ming. Did... youuuu. Spike?

 

by mindsay
10-31-04
Woah... shit, kid, how'd you do that? I mean, talk all living-like, instead of fragmenty?
Zom...bie... use... ma...gick. Trade in... bunch of... dead dol..lars... for speech... ther...a...py... spell.
Uh... okay.
Real...ly... Dint... know... was me?
No! Shoulda, though... I never seem to hang out with anyone else...
Poor... Spike. Well... zombie like stay... but party... no wait... for zombie! Gotta go... hang out... with... my dead... friends....

11-15-04
Sigh.
What... wrong... frieeend... Spike?
Drag, man. Y'know? It's just... stripcreator is so gay.
Zombie... knows... thissss... But Spike... never... have prob..lem... before.
Yeah... I was just thinking... um... Hey, hold on a minute. Kay?
K...

Yo, ekt. Uh... didn't you have some idea for this comic the other day?
Yeah, I guess... but I don't really remember.
No shit, Sherlock. What's in your head is what's in mine, and there ain't nuthin' in mine, right now.
Yeah... something about hating living in such a gay comic, or something. I dunno. Sorry, my usually poor memory has been extra bad, lately.
And you don't write shit down like you used to, in all your damn little notebooks.
Yeah, sorry again....

...So den I sed, "screw dis, I'm gonna go see if my buddy Gee-whiz knows how this comic was supposed to go." You dig?
I dig, my man, but, it's like this... I ain't the real Gee-whiz.
You said what, now? You ain't gonna tell me you're really Ted Nugent, are you?
Heeeeell, no. I'm just sayin', I live in ekt's head just as much as you do. I'm a stinkin' character. So ain't know way I'm gonna know no more than you or him, no how. Sorry, Joe.
Huh. Well screw dis, den. I'm out...
Good luck, dude.

I see trees of green, red roses too...
Sigh.
How... it... going?
I see skies of blue, and clouds of white...
It ain't. It ain't goin' at all. I was supposed to have this big denouement, and it ain't happenin'. Dammit.
Sorry. Spike. Wish. Could help.
And I think to myself, What a wonderful world...
S'okay. Mind like a sieve, that boy has. More fulla holes than yours. Well, I guess I'll go have a beer with him. Late.
Late. Spike. See. Round.
