Hey kids. So, I decided I wanted to go ahead and start hosting my blog on my own site from now on. As such, my LJ won't be updating, all the updates will now take place at www.mitchclem.com. The blog has an RSS link, though, so you can still subscribe via whatever it is you use now (yes, even LJ), but this specific account here isn't gonna post anymore. SO! Go ahead and check out www.mitchclem.com and subscribe or bookmark or whatever it is you need to do! Thanks! |

| My Stupid Life - Razorcake #59 |
[Jan. 2nd, 2011|12:43 pm] |
My New Year's Resolution (tm) is to post my comic from the most recent Razorcake:
Yup.
In other news, I am aware that my website is down. Some manner of trojan virus got in via the forum and has so thoroughly messed up everything on my site that Google and Firefox have it marked now as an attack site and won't let you visit it. Lovely. The problem is being worked on, I promise, and the sites should be back up (save for the forum, which, as the source of the problem in the first place, would take some convincing for me to put back up) and not updating again in no time!
In other other news, I'm almost done with a fun album cover, as well as mere weeks away from being safe enough to announce my Top Secret Awesome Project that I've been working on for the past million years or so, AS WELL AS scripting a new graphic novel and planning out my next book and blah blah blah. 2010 was a huge sham in almost all respects, 2011 will be the year I get my shit together and start being a cartoonist again.
Excelsior! |

| Razorcake Podcast #137 |
[Dec. 12th, 2010|02:55 pm] |
Razorcake Podcast #137 (Really? They couldn't hold out a week and give me 138? I'm writing my congressman about this!) starring me, Mitch Clem, the most annoying man alive, and, as my cohost, no less than thirty cans of beer. If you only know me from the internet and ever wondered whether I was funny or charming in real life, now you too can wince the night away reassured that, while I may be halfway competent at cartooning, it's truly the only thing I have going for me. Le sigh.
Check it out here! |

The new Razorcake has been out long enough now that it's probably okay for me to post my comic from it now, right? Let's assume yes:
Yep. |

| Graphic Material #1 - A work in progress |
[Sep. 16th, 2010|03:03 pm] |
Okay kiddos, now that I ran out of My Stupid Life backlog to show you, I thought I'd post my progress on my UPCOMING NEW TOP SECRET PROJECT:
32 pages, with a couple more yet to come. The pages are in varied states of completion, but overall I'm well over halfway done and don't expect this to take longer than another month before we can get them printed up and sold to people who like reading my mediocre comics! I'm really excited about this project. I'm still not really releasing any important details about what it is except to say that it's a lot like these most recent My Stupid Life pages, except a lot longer (obviously) and not necessarily starring me. Straight to print! With a bonus thing that makes it twice as awesome! Coming soon! |

| My Stupid Life - "Influenza" |
[Sep. 2nd, 2010|12:59 am] |
This is the last of the MSL Razorcake backlog:
Worst comic I've ever made? Perhaps! I remember what my intentions were with this, where I thought the humor was supposedly coming from, but I erred somewhere along the way by not actually turning the idea funny on paper. Or maybe I'm too harsh on myself? Doubtful. Also, who the crap reads magazines about punk music to see me making comics about Doctor Who? File under irrelevant.
The comic I did for the next issue is way better, I think, and, god willing, actually funny. But I'm not gonna post it before the issue comes out because that would be cheating.
In the mean time, here's a flyer my beautiful fiance Amanda drew for a show I booked that's coming up here in San Antonio in a couple weeks:
See you there? |

| My Stupid Life - "The Creative Process" |
[Aug. 31st, 2010|11:10 pm] |
Getting caught up on MSL comics from Razorcake back issues continues:
Less than a month after this issue came out, the Muffs (fronted by the lovely Kim Shattuck, as referenced in my masturbatory fantasy in panel seven) were playing a reunion show in Austin during SXSW. I was awkward about going, because I have these weird fantasies sometimes that anyone knows who I am or pays even the slightest attention to what I do, and I worried she'd have seen it and been offended and told me off. This didn't happen. Nor did the more favorable option happen, where she was flattered and insisted she and I do it in the alley behind the club. Rather, my ride left early without me and I didn't get to go to the show at all. C'est la vie! |

| My Stupid Life - "Ms. Pac Man" |
[Aug. 30th, 2010|10:30 pm] |
Getting caught up on old Razorcake comics continues:
Not "funny" per se, but very true. I still love Ms. Pac Man. And Raiden (or 1945, depending on what kind of arcade we're dealing with). And Police Trainer. I also really like Dig Dug, though I've never been particularly good at it.
I wish they hadn't turned all the arcades into kiddie casinos full of bullshit ticket games like Wheel 'Em In. |

| My Stupid Life - "The Crystal Shard" |
[Aug. 29th, 2010|08:31 pm] |
Every day this week I'm gonna get you guys caught up on some of the My Stupid Life comics that have run in Razorcake over the past year or so. Next time you see someone ask me why I don't make comics anymore, you can now feel the same way I do: Annoyed and saddened that I still make this stuff, but that everyone seems to not notice, and then get angry with me for "not making comics anymore."
Le sigh.
Anyhow! Eat it, fuckers:
Not much to say about this one. That book really is tremendous, though. If you're into fantasy novels... Well, you've probably already read the bulk of that series. So never mind, I guess.
More tomorrow! |

You know, people keep asking why with the no more new comics and such (though generally in a slightly more eloquent vernacular). Truth is, you guys, just because my online presence has dwindled to little more than a whisper of a dream, hardly means I haven't been making any comics any more! Just very few.
Those of you with subscriptions to Razorcake (the best magazine about punk music on the whole stupid planet) will remember seeing no less than... six(?) original My Stupid Life comics that went direct to print inside their hallowed pages rather than onto the internet, where it has to compete with porn.
I'll share those ones with you all next week. But I really do recommend you check out Razorcake. I don't have any financial stake in it, so don't think this is a sales pitch. It's just a really awesome magazine, and all the people who put it together are super cool, and it's where I'm exposed to 99% of the new music I like, so it's totally worth bothering with.
Anyhow, here's one from like a year ago:
More next week! And then I'll run out of backlog of stuff to update you with and you'll all think I died again! Hooray! |
