I would love to post more of them, but unfortunately I'm doing a lot of overtime lately.
I will post as I make them, I promise.

In the meantime I'll give you a series I started (but abandoned after three strips) called Reasonable Expectations:
No 1: Carpe Diem

Gentleman! Tumble and Fall is SWEET and you should definitely quite work in pursuit of this profound webcomic.

we always liked it, but now that he is good looking it's like an added bonus!

i think its only fair, considering i stop liking things once i discover the author is fugly

Nevertheless, these comics are enjoyable in many ways, especially Carpe Diem. The style and humour may not be new, but its always refreshing to see something well done. Overall, it's basically TeamSpecialOlympics II: With a Vengeance, but in any case, it still made me laugh.

Regarding the previous series, I appreciate the amount and capacity of expression of the art. The falling looks like a constant struggle, something forced and unnatural, and the difficulty to see between the lines in the protagonist's (Robert Plunge?) face, gives it a lot more depth, since it's a pretty simple comic, and if it gets you to laugh, it's probably aided by your own imagination filling the blank and the blurry.

Overall, I love this. Bravo. Kudos. Other words in foreign languages.

Man, Team Special Olympics has shock value...

This strip just has class.

Now it's all about shock value, not gonna say it's not, but back in the day, it was decidedly more subtle.

Not to mention it really resembles, in some very basic level, the blurb cycles like Inappropriate Time for Ham etc.

Haven't seen Team Special Olympics before. Art looks quite nice, need to look into it more.

Unfortunately I need a bit of money, so I can't quit my job. Yet. Of course, when the orders for the Tumble and Falls strips printed on plates of pure gold come in, all pre-paid and stuff, then yes, I think I can make more time for the strip.

Once again, thanks everyone! It is highly appreciated.
So here's No2 of the abandoned series Reasonable Expectations:

Gosh, sorry it took me so long to follow this up, and sorry for the mediocre filler you had to endure, although I haven't tortured you with my 'Punching Philosophers' series. Yet.
Anyway:

To Tumble and Fall over a Higgs Boson

Edit: Why is it so big, goddamnit?
Edit2: Is it too small now? For hugs sake.
Edit3: Why the hell not go back to the original size? Why not undo 10 minutes of resizing?

Working on the problem! DON'T LOOK AT THE UGLY DETAILS IN THE MEANTIME!

Edit1: Yeah, too small now.
Edit2: But it's too big now, can't you make it a little smaller?

it's a ridiculous idea but the presentation is just so honest and generally excellent
my favorite is meeting the boss

Yeah, got quite weirded out by the size for no apparent reason, I guess. Does happen to the best of Gentlemen.

Thanks again guys! It really is $$$ for my ego.

Thought I messed up the Tumble bit in the last, though. But it seems to work...
