Every Day Life Comic Strip #2 Everything but Humanity by Anthony Andujar Jr

       I don't usually dabble with political stuff, and if I do, it's usually something that's a little subtle or subliminal. Rarely will I ever be on the nose about it ( I guess). But, I knew for the second strip, I decided to make one based on the ironies of society.  TOOL songs such as  " Eulogy", "Vicarious" and "Anemia" , Childish Gambino "Worldstar", Radiohead "2+2=5", "wolf at the door", Kendrick Lamar, EMinem and a few other things like Comedians of a variety always fascinate me in terms of how they deliver touchy subject matter, and reveal the sad truths about humanity. Comedians and artists tend to always tackle subject matter and address it better than the News outlets and politicians. Somehow they always present the bigger picture. Heck, They always admit things about society better than society ever does, and at the end of the day, when speaking about solutions, the same irony happens. Society rejects what they want most of the time.

   I know, I know, what i said sounds so pessimistic.. So I made a strip representing those themes in a sense, and the irony of everyone of these themes and ideologies, that aren't meant to be taken to such extremes, yet unfortunately, by a marginal group of individuals, tend to take things to the extremes and make it the landmark poster child of mis represented, and tarnished images of once pure ideologies. Everyone is fighting for something, but don't realize that there are bigger things at work, laughing at what people are fighting each other for ,rather than fighting together in unison against the big corporations like Goldman and Sachs, The Rockerfellers, Skulls and Bones, etc etc, that NO Logo ,and Food Inc/ Fast Food Nation has talked about among other sources. I couldn't find the original file, so I had to make due. Here it is folks, I hope for those that have a reasonable sense of humor , enjoy. The rest, well.. uh.. do you.

Anthony Andujar Jr Presents : Every Day Life: Comic Strip #1 Got' Em Money

Welcome! This Blog is a special blog that will be more dedicated to showcase my one shot Strips on a weekly basis. I figured that since comic books tend to be released on wednesdays, I decided to release every one shot comic page strip that I make as a challenge to myself to make a sequential 9 panel or more displayed on one page. It's basically like making a haiku but in the usual one page comic form. Sorta going for the throwback to Newspaper comic strips being a one page or one strip sorta approach. I tend to do alot more detailed stuff for painting and illustration, but to do a lot of that tends to burn me out due to working on things on my own which can be very tedious and time consuming. SO I make these little quick skits and drop them off to this here page. I hope you guys will enjoy it, and even share these little strips with friends and family, ( and I hope you have a reasonable sense of humor and have as much fun reading as I do drawing these.

 A quick Origin: 
   

So I'm gonna try this thing in between everything.. I was inspired by@handlebarkidi and @joanthony_stark I thought of a dumb one page comic thing. So I'm gonna see how often I'll stick with it, organically, naturally drawing out a one page comic of whatever comes to mind. I'll post it on my blog for people to look at it when i'm done coloring it. I decided to take one of my black books and dedicate that one to just one page comic strips , while my other black book is still gonna have detailed pages of madness. We'll see how consistent I can be.


Now to the main comic strip:
