Guest Strip by Matt Stout of Big Sandy Gilmore

In a stunning display of the universe’s sense of humor, Kevin and I have literally traded living spaces, completely independently of one another. He’s currently in Philadelphia while I’ve taken up residence in New Jersey. This is relevant because we recently had our friend and talented comic artist Matt Stout (of Big Sandy Gilmore fame) make the excellent comic above this post, thus saving you guys from my guest strip. So unless you were really looking forward to my stick figure interpretation of The DaVinci Code you can enjoy an awesome strip made possible by Matt Stout and the universe.

If you haven’t read Big Sandy Gilmore I highly suggest you check it out. It’s a great read and one of our favorite comics (plus there was recently a crossover between our boys and the BSG characters) and let’s just say that hijinx ensued. Oh boy, did they ever ensue.

Anyways, thanks again to Matt for contributing the guest strip! See y’all next week!

Just in case you aren’t already reading Big Sandy Gilmore,  Matt just finished a three part crossover with the Ominous Knife guys!

Make sure to check it out.

My collaboration with Almozline

June 26th, 2009

Many of you are familiar with Threadless, it’s basically the best t-shirt place in the world. I’ve had a shirt based of a slogan made there, and now a collaboration with my concept and Almozline’s art is in the running to be printed. If you guys could go over there and give it a “5″ and an “I’d by it” if you think it’s worth it, it’d be a big help to us!

June 3rd, 2009

Check it out!

June 2nd, 2009

Sorry guys but the strip is going to be late today. But it will be up by the end of the day, so it still counts!

Ominous Knife Anniversary Question Spectacular!

April 30th, 2009

Welcome to day four of our Ominous Week! today we have a HUGE Ominous Question that will more than make up for the fact that we haven’t posted one in months!

Dear Ominous Awesome,

CAN YOU BELIEVABLE IT?!

I’ve been reading your comic for a year.  HORSE TURD VOMIT I’M EXCITED!

Where will you go fro hear?  What is yuur plans for the future?  BANG BOOGLE!

Is there any way we can get a Thedar spinoff comic in the works?  If
not, can he answer my letter?  WHO ANSWERS THESE THINGS?!

Long story short, I’m connected to xbox live now.  Here’s what I’ve
discovered that really pissed me off- There is no ominous video game.
Why is that?

So anyway, I’d like to just say thanks for mayking my life awesome
with your funnies.

Do you have an xbox live?

Do you have an xbox?

Nintendo DSi?

Ipod?

My favorite iron chef is Bobby Flay.  What about yuurs?  Does Mick
like to cook, or does he like to go out?  I went to Bennigans one time
and my dad ordered the Monte Cristo.  It’s a deep fried reuben
sandwich.  He didn’t eat it all BUT I WATCHED HIM TRY!

Why don’t you post more ominous questions?  Will that change in the
coming year?  Have you thought about a podcast?  You know, for your
ipod that I think you have.

I have an ipod mini.  I’m going to upgrade it some day when I save for
it with my money.  Money is a commodity in Spain.  As is Monte Cristo,
which is a subdivision of Madrid.  I made that last sentence up.  CAN
YOU MAKE UP SENTANCES, OMINOUS KNIFE?!  Surrogate bears are never a
good idea.

Email is awesome.  Do you like it?  I like it.

Sincerely,

Super Enthused (Part Seven) [I love you]

Calvin: The depths to which I detest this email are boundless.

Victor: This is a massive multi-layered question that could only truly be appreciated with a nice chunky salsa or guacamole.

Mick: Or we could just, y’know, separate it and answer each question individually.

Victor: Where’s the deliciousness in that?

Walt: I want to say something too!

Calvin: Alright…let’s take a look at this thing:

Dear Ominous Awesome,

CAN YOU BELIEVABLE IT?!

Calvin: What

I’ve been reading your comic for a year.  HORSE TURD VOMIT I’M EXCITED!

Calvin: What

Where will you go fro hear?  What is yuur plans for the future?  BANG BOOGLE!

Calvin: What

Victor: That’s quite an astute question, Mr. Enthused. Our future plans are shrouded in mystery, only to be revealed at specific intervals when the planets align.

Walt: In other words, we’re not too sure yet. We’ve been tossing around lots of ideas and while a few have stuck, we want to mae sure they really represent us.

Warren: One big change is the title. Notice the sleek, economically-friendly design. Also, we’ve gone green somehow.

Victor: We’re going to try to share more stories, really. Once Chris and Kevin get off their butts we’re going to shoot for two updates a week.

Mick: Wow, that was shockingly informative.

Victor: I do what I can.

Is there any way we can get a Thedar spinoff comic in the works?  If
not, can he answer my letter?  WHO ANSWERS THESE THINGS?!

Calvin: Thedar spinoff comic? Hmm…wwe may have something right up your alley coming pretty soon. Stay tuned to see whether or not I’m telling the truth!

Mick: Wait, did you ask “who answers these [letters]?!”? Dude, who do think write these things? Our names are right over there, next to our responses! What, do you think this is all the work of some dude, typing away in his underwear while the pungent aroma of cheesteaks fills his room? What kind of a person would even do that?

Long story short, I’m connected to xbox live now.  Here’s what I’ve
discovered that really pissed me off- There is no ominous video game.
Why is that?

Calvin: No. You don’t get to say “long story short” when you’re CHANGING THE TOPIC OF THE CONVERSATION. Long story short, I’m going to hunt you down and do things to you.

Warren: There is no Ominous video game because while we rich in creativity, we are poor in reality. They. They are poor in reality. I am quite rich.

Victor: We can’t feasibly produce an Ominous Knife video game for the Xbox 360, or any gaming console for that matter. We can, however, create an Ominous Knife game just for you! Just send us all of the money and we will custom-build an RPG Maker 2003 game to run on the computer of your choice. Please wait 6-8 weeks for delivery.

So anyway, I’d like to just say thanks for mayking my life awesome
with your funnies.

Calvin: You’re welcome. Coincidentally, “Mayking” would be a great name for an acoustic Chinese classical instrument group.

Do you have an xbox live?

Do you have an xbox?

Nintendo DSi?

Ipod?

Victor: Yes, yes, no, and yes, respectively.

My favorite iron chef is Bobby Flay.  What about yuurs?  Does Mick
like to cook, or does he like to go out?  I went to Bennigans one time
and my dad ordered the Monte Cristo.  It’s a deep fried reuben
sandwich.  He didn’t eat it all BUT I WATCHED HIM TRY!

Calvin: My favorite Iron Chef is Tatsuhiko Watanabe. I think Victor’s is Hiroshi Nakagami, and I know for a fact that Mick’s and Walt’s favorite chef is Boyardee.

Victor: Wait, your dad tried to eat an entire Monte Cristo in one sitting by himself? Dude, are you Calvin’s future son?

Calvin: Very funny. You’re like a white Tyler Perry.

Walt: THAT’S RACIST!

Why don’t you post more ominous questions?  Will that change in the
coming year?  Have you thought about a podcast?  You know, for your
ipod that I think you have.

Mick: We can only post as many questions as we receive. If we don’t get any questions then we can’t answer anything. And I so like to answer things.

Calvin: Well, there is that one question…

Victor: Shut up, dude! The sender might be reading. You don’t want them remembering how we lost their question, do you? Anyways, we hope that as our Ominous Family expands we’ll get more questions. It’s your chance to shape the comic, so keep the questions coming!

Walt: As for podcasts, we can’t do them just yet. Our recording equipment isn’t sophisticated enough to handle my smoky baritone voice.

Calvin: Yeah, that’s it. It’s not that you broke our microphone while singing “Lady Marmalade,” it’s that the equipment that is specifically made for recording voices can’t record your voice.

I have an ipod mini.  I’m going to upgrade it some day when I save for
it with my money.  Money is a commodity in Spain.  As is Monte Cristo,
which is a subdivision of Madrid.  I made that last sentence up.  CAN
YOU MAKE UP SENTANCES, OMINOUS KNIFE?!  Surrogate bears are never a
good idea.

Email is awesome.  Do you like it?  I like it.

Calvin: You know what? No. No we can’t make up “sentances,” because that’s not a word! That’s it! I’m coming for you, Super Enthused! RRAAAAAAARRRRGH!

Victor: No! Calvin’s gone into Grammar Nazi rage again! Someone get the tranquilizer darts!

Mick: I like email.

Walt: Me too. It’s so convenient, you know?

Victor: Why is no one helping me pry Calvin’s hands off of our monitor?!

Well, that’s it folks! I hope this crazy Ominous Question was everything you hoped for! But not more. I don’t ever want you to have more than you hope for. Thanks for reading! Stay tuned and keep sending us missives that make Calvin’s eyes bleed!
