The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round.

Episode 78: Stocking Stuffer

Unfortunately, the publisher edited this for content by replacing the original text with some computer type-face. The original copy caused three men in Wichita to go completely insane and develop chronic fecal syndrome. Happy Holidays.

Episode 77: A Shot in the Arm

I don't know who writes these things, but it is unforgivable. I just receive em and leave em. Send all hate mail to RPecknold@tilatequlla.com

Episode 76: The Lost Episode

A modern day Nostradamus, Swirly makes bone grinding predictions about war, god, love and the great afterlife: notoriety

Episode 75: Making The Lost Episode

For one day only witness a behind the scenes look at the making of a Sidewise Award-winning comic.

Episode 74: Leeches

The world of television sales is not easy. Hear you me. Here you, here me. I don't see you anywhere. What's the deal?

Episode 73: Supper Time

Anyone who has played some foosball can understand what's going on here

Episode 72: Monthophilia OR How I Learned to Turn Off the Fucking College Radio Station

We all hate these people that have this great fervor for certain months, treating it like a religion. Junists are pedophiles that love watching the kids get out of school on those warm days. Aprilists are for CPAs and the like. The worst are the fucking Decemberists.

Episode 71: Temporary Like Achilles

(A rare treat!) For the sake of the person that reads this, Medicine Sunday is the original name of the Bob Dylan song Temporary Like Achilles from Blonde on Blonde. Medicine Sunday was recorded with the Band but never used. Also notice the various prescriptions that Achilles must take to stay sane in our modern world. WHAT A CRITICAL STATEMENT. THIS COMIC IS AMAZING. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN NOMINATED FOR A PULITZER AND THE NOBLE PRIZE IN ECONOMICS BECAUSE OF ITS CRITICISM OF CAPITALISM WHICH IS AMONG THE LIKES OF MARX! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS!!!

Episode 70: The High Seas

A ship of the dead floats towards Pokey, I mean, Swirly so they have a few beers and one of the dead guys rolls an L from the WWI Declaration of War. Very Inane.

Episode 1983

What ever happened to our favorite playwright who called himself the same as a state? Rumor has it than since his fabled death in 1983 he has been working in adult stage performances in his old scene, the Tokyo underground.

Episode 68: Homophonia

What do you get when you cross a fag, a phony and musical blandness? Rufus Wainwright. Swirly isn't a gay basher, he just suffers from homophonia.
Open Me In A New Tab/Window Before Reading
Open that link then come back here and read the comic while the music plays as an added bonus/reference!1

Episode 67: Reflection, Refraction...

Height, width, and the other isn't important (or so women say). Well really what does matter? Swirly confronts his ego in the form of a cactus and metaphorically battles his father for control of the atomic bomb.

Episode 66: In 3-D

Some things may lead you astray. Not this fine work of a mad reclusive genius. Originally written in blood and snot this is a piece of true Appalachia.

(Quick pass the bowl. This guy's about to see if he chose the million dollar suitcase)

Episode 65: Thanksgiving

Swirly is taking a break for the weekend.
In this trick, Swirly casts a spell and rids the world of turkeys forever, performing the ultimate Thanksgiving miracle. Right?

Tuesday, November 25, 2008

Episode 64: The Road to Graceland

Getting down to Tennessee is tough these days. What with apocalypse and all.

Monday, November 24, 2008

Episode 63: Remembrance of Things Past

What is life but a collection of fond memories. Join our lovable bastard for a round of anecdotes that will keep your body warm well through the holiday

Saturday, November 22, 2008

Episode 62: A Plea

Please love me. I'm so beautiful and fragile. Swirly, you'll never win, your voice is nearly illegible.

Episode 61: Fate

You know what my fate isn't? Being well received. This could have been made funny by adapting an actual John Rambo quote, but instead it is bitter and hateful. I love it.

Episode 60: XYZ

Swirly goes Chicago style in this to-be Enzyte commercial.

Episode 59: Let's Get Dangerous

What so dangerous? Basing a comic around Darkwing Duck and Nabokovian poetry references. The joke is pretty lame even if you understand it, so don't waste your time here.

Friday, November 21, 2008

Erase Your Fear!

Never fear! More Swirly is yet to come. Just not yesterday and probably not today either. Turn your inner eye to see beyond how stupid this all is.

Wednesday, November 19, 2008

Episode 58: It Is.

Watch behind the scenes, where the smartest scientists in the world (like our man) are bought out by television writers to experiment with comedy.

Episode 57: Sun-Drenched Mel, O.D.

Listen to some college kid verbally masturbate. Got any hot shots?

Tuesday, November 18, 2008

WHY? WHY?

Why would i do this to myself? even i don't know. yay work is over!

Episode 55: Banger in the Mouth

In this film, Swirly learns about the connections between hell, jail, pot and oral.

Episode 54: How I Met Your CBS Sitcom Mother

These shows are so bad that they cannot be parodied well because then you'd have to watch them, and if you watched them you'd never want to do anything creative ever again cause you'd scratch your eyes out and hope that anything you did was never, ever as shitty as that shit.
In this comic, Swirly plays jailkeeper to a couple of tv freak hasbeens

Episode 53: Minotaur Decade

These people are so shitty they don't even deserve recognition. Plus, you should have already forgotten about this trendy, transient bullshit anyway. Shit though, these guys are as predictable as calendars.

CREATE EPISODE_52 "SWIRLY MANIFESTO" END

The Swirly Manifesto 1982 is a prelude to the arts and culture of Swirly and the future. It is riddled with copyright infringement that no one would ever want to enforce

Friday, November 14, 2008

Episode 51: Vanity Bared

Idiots. A second pun on Vanity Fair. Seriously, Thackeray is pissed and will come back from the dead to kill anyone who reads this. Oh, and xkcd is really faggy (and less funny than this unfunny comic)

Episode 50: Doug, Steve, Jeff and Me: Three-Headed Boy

The flower, the moose, the gun. Perfection, animal, man-made destructive beauty. Which is at play here, who is dominant? Why delay the inevitable 50?

Episode 49: Bananas

After escaping a palpable infinity, Swirly returns to the office and attempts a bold pen throw. Yes, thats a pen. Bugger off.

Episode 48b: Fire

What does your soul look like? Where does it go when it's vacuumed out by a demon? The story of the afterlife, told here, by some pale fire (d'oh)

Episode 48a: Lost Fire

Summoned for jury duty, Swirly waits and makes pleasant talk with the staff, who seem to like wearing black cloaks and don't have any skin.

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

Episode 47: Laziness

They all aren't winners, believe you me. sometimes you just don't feel like drawing, but have an obligation to feed the unruly masses. this site is now getting 70k+ hits per day. chew on this you internet entertainment seekers. (actual internet episode to come later)

Episode 46: Hollywood

A faithful Hollywood adaption of a foreign feature finds Swirly blissfully full after a fine meal.

Tuesday, November 11, 2008

Episode 45: Hippy Wounds

Here in some sewer of America, a crippled veteran tells the children about war, love for jesus, and heroin withdrawl.

Episode 44: Germans

In Germany, Swirly sings Radiokopf. He was nominated for 12 grammys, losing to David Hasselhoff all 12 times.

Episode 43: Do Something Pretty While You Can

Why did he do it was he scared? Was he bored?

Episode 42: This Doesn't Go Anywhere

Let the title be more of a warning than a description. (One of these days Malkmoose will die and Pavement references will disappear along with him). Whoops wrong post

Episode 41: Dumb "Jokes"

Being narrator/editor of a fan-created comic is a difficult job. It is even more difficult to keep out the riff-raff and sometimes a comic like this slips through the cracks

Episode 40: Art

I hope I get paid for this

Episode 39: Eau de Fagot

Episode 37: First Blood

Steaming with nationalist pride, Swirly escapes from prison but is later flanked by his former superior officer Colonel Trautman. I think we all know what happens from there
