Hey! I read the blog entry. Good luck on those various other projects. And may “the claws of editors and art directors” not get too close to, uh… anything. Meanwhile, I’m checking Cock and Bull once a week – expecting it to return “before peace in the middle east” – though that would be nice, too.
Sorry guys. I don’t mean to be secretive or illusive here, and god knows I’d love to draw the strip, but I’m struggling on many fronts right now and the strip has had to be put on the back burner, at least for the present. On top of everything, we found out yesterday that we’re going to uproot, sell the house and move to a completely different state, which just adds to everything. The strip’s not necessarily gone at all, and I feel bad for not being able to continue right now, but I have to make sure that health and family comes first. Especially since I make, like 20 cents a month on the strip… Forget about Cock and Bull for right now, go and read some of the other excellent stuff out there and I’ll let you all know when we’re back on top of things around here.
We of the Continuum understand, the sustenance of your offspring is more important than our continued entertainment, we will seek our amusement elsewhere but will return from time to time to observe the antics of this planets farm animals, OUR WILL GOES WITH YOU, ARNIE OF TERRA PRIME, MAY PROVIDENCE GUIDE AND KEEP YOU!
Providence is an awesome place! Some friends of use are moving there, which I really envy. We’re heading to Athens, Georgia ourselves. (But maybe that’s not what you meant, Rove?)
I love that you guys are still hanging out and pestering me to continue. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside (or was that the Maker’s Mark? Not sure). How about I at least take part in the discussions until things are settled a bit more? Then Cock and Bull will come to you from the sticky state of GA. Really, thinking about it recently, Of all the things I want to work on, C&B and animation are at the top of the list for sure! it’s unbelievably rewarding to have you weirdos, who care about the strip and want it back, stick around. So I figured the least I could do is go out on a limb and promise that it will be back again – when the time is right (maybe a couple of months or so into the future).
Meanwhile, in an effort to have a place to hang out with you good people, do you think it might be worth it to set up a discussion board for now, that can also carry over to when the strip goes up again?
Wouldn’t mind having a place to stay in touch with you all… Anyone interested in that?
PROVIDENCE is the name of the God of the Konor, a race of telepathic hive mind beings that serve as Slaverlords to the planets of Dacket, Bellepheron and Gellesen in the Neutral zone of space. (Star Trek T.N.G :-Metamorphosis [Jean Lorrah 1990] )
Their holy teachings state “Naked before Providence we go” , which ironically enough means that these attractive golden skinned, green haired humanoids literally do not wear clothing!
“when the time is right (maybe a couple of months or so into the future).” – but if you can come back and do some in the past that’d be even more awesome.
We could do the Fecebook discussion, or if you wanna set up something here then non Fecebook people can participate. Are there still people NOT on Fecebook? Thinking probably yeah.
And I’m all for attractive golden skinned people going naked, even in Rhode Island.
You conveniently left out the fact that they also have green hair,as well as the fact that they tend to ENSLAVE anyone who doesn’t display telepathic abilities? Attractive or not, no thanks!
Arnie of Terra Prime, We of the Continuum wish to inquire as to the status of your life function……………………………… Has your relocation to a new habitat been successful? Are your offspring thriving?
You’ll be indifferent to know that I have, in fact, written and sketched a bunch of new strips, starting to work up the buffer I need to get it all going again. A stint of mind boggling depression and frustration has sparked this new surge in creativity. Also, the fact that I should really be working on something completely different. But the guys need to get my frustration out, so there yo go…
You have wounded us Terran, we did not ask as to the status of our ENTERTAINMENT we asked after YOU. Even as Orgamechs, we have not lost our compassion, though we can turn it off if ruthless brutality is required, your wellbeing IS important to us, your planet has so few sparks of genius, the few that exist must be nurtured and allowed to grow,infect and expand to the rest of the populace. It is only through this that your species will evolve and take its rightful place among the denizens of the cosmos…………………………also you will develop the common sense to NEVER elect ANYONE from the house of BUSH EVER AGAIN!
Oh, you know… Filled with terror and panic — nothing new. We’re having a summer for the ages here trying to get ourselves moved and with all kinds of things going on on the side. But I can only assume that I’ll come up for air at some point and that things will get back to normal. Hopefully…
We were referring to humans obsession with “Disaster Movies” . We were fortunate to receive a transmission from one of your cable channels entitled “2012″, a strange display of death and destruction as well as hope and the human capacity for love and compassion. It portrays your species in many different lights at once. But why propagate a scenario that is a best conspiracy?
Thank you! It might be coming back soon. I have some constantly building frustrations to work out that can only be taken care of through heavy swearing, and I’m not allowed to swear at home…
Status Log:- The year is 2012 by Terran Temporal reckoning, we have not received any transmissions from the one known as Arnie for several cycles, as per mission parameters we will continue to monitor Terra Prime for any type of communication attempts from this subject………..
Wow… Bull needs some sensitivity training… or just to get slapped by Cock…
Yeah, Cock-slapped… that’d be the ticket!
I just wanna say (again) how glad I am to have you and the guys back! Thanks a lot for letting insulting farmyard animals return into our lives!!
I’m also really craving for some chicken pomodoro right now… And I’m a vegetarian!!
I still can’t figure it out… Is Cock laughing or mourning? Nicely done Archie, now I got something to think about for the whole morning!
Cock is just so upset over the loss of his fortune?
Bull could care less, he has his field of grass… poor guy!
Anyone have a good recipe for Chicken Pomodoro?
Someone else was eating your wife while you were missing man, literally

Could someone tell me exactly what’s going on here?. We (or maybe it’s only me) seem to be trapped in some type of Holding Pattern?

I respect that sort of thing… family comes first.
I will bookmark this place and check back periodically, but don’t expect me to just up and run away.
Get things settled and I hope you can find time to get back into Cock and Bull.
Good luck!
We have room in Michigan, come on in!

Things can always be worse……………………….at least no one has attempted to anal probe you……….. We never could fathom why some species INSIST on doing that!
Took a short break then cam back and read this. I laughed all over again!
HA! Pomodoro! Man, you slay me!
Your planet is strangely silent of late Arnie of Terra Prime……..is it 2012 already?
Great, now ya tell me, I just bought a 2013 calendar.

Bzzt. Glfrgh! boob!
Has there been a malfunction in your central processor Arnie of Terra Prime? Your response is unintelligible………………..
Marco…
Happy Look Like A Fucking Pig Day! I hope you all remembered! Man, it’s gonna be a good one this year, I just know it!
Oh, and Polo!
Terrans have the strangest holidays…………………
We ‘Terrans’ enjoy getting as many days away from work as possible. That is why we have so many!
Denizens of Terra Prime…..We seek the one Called Arnie…..he owe us for the delivery of one Metroid Pizza and one Milky Way shake………
Good comic!
Jeff
