hey ya'll.

so after a minimal amount of planning and thinking, mike and i are proud to bring back our little ole webcomic.; that really only exists because you guys liked it so much. or even so little. point is - more people read it and looked forward to it than i gave credit.

SOME CHANGES:
you will see it in color from now on too! however until i can finance a tablet it will most likely be markerized, with backgrounds and effects only done in le photoshoppe. there's a rumor that in my downtime, i will be colorizing the old miniventures.

things are going to get more offensive and raunchier. no pulling punches.

by popular request, amber will be replaced with jen gadus, our well endowed, shapely-butted, drunken irish metal head.

apathy will be redirected towards terry, and away from joey.

some artistic change with hair color. terry, mike and kelly will have darker brown hair - as per request and current fashion trends.

you will hopefully see more guest writers - as ive always greatly enjoyed the jokes that mike, terry, eileen, brian and jakes have come up with.
i would like to take this time to acknowledge again that the majority of gang miniventure jokes are a collaborative effort in general. without the rest of the guys and gals of gang entertainment...this comic would be fantasy arc after video game reference after breasts shot with cum.
(but dont worry there will still be that too).

so without further a doo. heres some linear notes comin at ya. god bless.

105. this is pretty much the extent of the conversation that mike and i had about relaunching miniventures. as i mentioned before, for the fact that so many people enjoyed the comic in their lives over the ones that would rather it not exist...it seemed dumb not to even try and keep doing it.

we will be keeping the tradition of mike in a turtleneck alive, as made famous by terry during guest artist month.

im sure you all remember the mermaid whom i affectionately have dubbed "lilith". shes made two appearances in the last volume, and will more than likely become a character.

106. for the longest time i had no idea what the fuck fantasy football was. i knew it was a game and created by bros...so therefore it was probably about a) player statistics and b)drinking beer. i wasnt too far off.

if you dont know who is in the last panel you need a fucking game system. i also decided that mike will have a collection of turtlenecks, not just the same teal one.

107. this is one of the plethora of jokes from the gang's 09 michigan vacation, that i had the distinct pleasure to attend.
i believe it all started with me handing terry a lifejacket, to which his reply was "...i'll never put on a lifejacket again." more jaws jokes ensued until we finally tried to rent the damn movie. of course the only video store in miles only had the jaws GAME on xbox.
the next day, terry realized he had the movie on his computer. so we all snuggled up on the couch (albeit boy/girl/boy/girl) and watched it. very gratifying.

the painting above us is also based on the actual painting in our cabin. it was of 6 pairs of flip flops. odd, to say the least.

108. continuing with our popular (at least to us) emperor jay series...we dive into some more mythology about slykasvania. any gang gathering (usually at jays) is always devoid of ice for drinks. it is always assumed that someone else will be bringing ice. mike usually takes the responsibility upon himself, because if he doesnt, jay will make him go out and get it anyway.
of course, this eventually led to us joking about the value and rarity of ice in emperor jay's kingdom. this storyline will regularly be revisted, although no definitive plans as to where it leads.

109. something else that should of been in the "some changes" section is the replacement of amber for jen. while amber will still be in the uic adventures series, i finally agreed with mike that jen should be brought in. shes clearly paid her dues, and she lets me put my hands on her parts.
shes going to be super fun to write for and i think everyone can learn a bit from her example.

you will notice kellys hair has been changed to its current dark brown. and the arcade machine in the first panel reads "anal invaders". a game we'd all like to play with kelly.

110. ive wanted an excuse to draw nato in a regina outfit like forever. god i feel so much better. so, this joke is actually a true story. brian lives in an old school house which has a cemetary right next to it. and an indian cemetary underneath it. and we all know that's bad news bears. yet, brian has reported absolutely no paranormal activity whatsoever. i think he's still full of shit and in denial cause he's afraid of his own shadow.

im dressed up as a ghostbuster and brian is wearing a specific set of warlock armor from warcraft. my research department is still working on the name of the set, for reference.

EDIT: danielle malec of the research department has identified the armor as the T6 Malefic Raiment. thanks danielle!

111. halloween tits are some of the best tits ever. i wanted to do a joke with a ouija board or a seance, so i stole an idea from the mars volta's concept album, "the bedlam in goliath". which to me is like the most interesting story ever, bullshit or not. interesting as this story is, youre only going to pay attention so long..until your eyes drift into the endless abyss of poison ivy cleavage.

kelly - little red riding hood (actual costume she wore :D) jen - poison ivy, erin - slave leia.

112. eileen wanted me to draw her in a silk spectre costume, and i wanted to kill terry in a michael jackson outfit. and jakes is sid vicious.

113. unpleasantness erupted when the gang was split up for halloween. myself, joey and mike going to danielle's party, while jay and teen girl squad were by bill and terrys. lets...not talk about it further than that. so while yes, historically inacurate (the party was not at jays), it fit into this frozen kingdom of jay storyline. something mike pointed out today that other people might be wondering about, this arc will sporadically continue whenever i feel like doing one. some new characters poppin in the background are nicole and sarah!

114. i hate captias. but then again who likes them? security programmers maybe? anyways, the joke here is that i can't process it because im a robot. world of whorecraft is a real warcraft based porn site. i would never pay for porn though.

115. i joked about how terry needed a hatred missile like joey's "not funny" rocket. terry gets a "not impressed" rocket. its actually more sad than it is funny. terry has spent his entire life trying to impress people, whether its being rude and mean, memorizing michael jackson choregraphy, or jumping off roofs...the truth is - no one cares. no one has ever cared. GOD FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, QUIT SHOWING OFF! and happy birthday.

116. god, just play the fucking game. its so amazing. its the best parts of art history plus stabbing people. anyways, in the beginning of the game ezio (main character) and his mother are arguing. his mom tells him "you need other outlets outside of vaginas" which got me thinking of terrible things with the only slightly homoerotic relationship of leonardo da vinci and ezio auditore. if there was a fourth panel, it would be leonardo making a flesh light sorta contraption for ezio. fuck. i should put this out there on deviant. stupid girls fucking eat up this gay fanfiction shit. you should see all the metalocalypse stuff they draw. i made leonardo the ninja turtle too, i just had to go all the way.

117. this is gonna be a star trek parody. as you can see...not everyone is fit for their job placement! LOL just wait for part two. also, this marks the first time i used the brown marker for something other than tree bark. welcome to miniventures timmy!

118. one of those busy weeks, so we dig into the backlog of fillers! introducing the gang speak and say! apparently its some sort of cosmic thing...cause its in space. enjoy some of my favorite gang quotes! also notice the outside circumference of the circle sections are impossibly large to house the amount of times i am going to milk this in the future.

119. played the dante's inferno demo. and this is the first 5 minutes...def going to be one of those "its so terrible its good" games.

It's going to make coming here a lot less annoying at least. Thanks for putting it up again! I'm sure my sister will enjoy this too, and besides, as to what you did with Emperor Jay, if you can't think of ideas just go with what's in the comic strips.

So, how perverted do you plan to get, Tyler?

explain yourself...why bother coming here if its annoying?

i could be terrible. mike is the censor. you will have to see what slips past him.

let me put it this way: did anyone notice the missing element from the mermaid poster? the giant sea vagina monster right??

the original idea was the photoshop a real vagina, blur it out and slap some googly eyes on it.

I knew that was going to come out wrong, and I'm not even sure why I typed that out. What I meant as it'll be more fun to come here, and see an update every week than maybe the same images for a months time. I know one site I go to, for 6 months, never updated, annoys the heck out of me, and it's an official site too.


Edit for last week's strip: Now that's some funny stuff. I had to hold my laughter because I was in a classroom while reading it.

Edit for this week's strip: Erm...what is this movie/tv reference of?

I will return briefly from my eternal slumber to mention that I actually, technically, live ON TOP of the burial ground, not next to it. The entire hill that my house (where I moved to in mid June with my girlfriend, Cari) is on was the native american burial ground, and settlers in the early 1800s piled dirt over it and began burying their own on one half and built a schoolhouse on the other half. It is by far the least scary place I have ever lived.

One of the countless bizarre synchronistic events surrounding our first few months at the house, which is about 45 miles (70~ kilometers) from downtown Chicago, is that the other couple who moved in the house with us (who saw an ad on Craigslist, as we did) is very close friends with The Gang's very own Timmy Hodges. Other bizarre things are that the guy is named Bryan Peterson, and his wife's name is similar to Cari's. He was also the technical advisor of my main music client for 8 years or so. I could go on forever with more stuff too.

This Claritin I popped should be kicking in any second now, but until it does, I'll briefly mention that I'm finishing up a 2 month sabbatical of sorts after completing a 6 year long project, 2 year long project, and 2 month long project that all had the same due date. Now working on 11 of my own records right now and have two large projects for other people in the next 8 months.

Also, all of the things I have once promised I would do are being worked on again. That show Tyler and I were doing is still happening and has lots of work being done on it. We just really really want to start with something golden, and building a franchise for an episodic show isn't very forgiving of bad ideas.

I'm putting up some of my records on this website called bandcamp.com, which lets you download full cd quality versions, or any other imaginable format, and listen to not-free records in their entirity as many times as you want for free. For legal reasons, there's many records I can't put up there, but I'm planning on uploading the majority of those 11 I'm currently working on, just because there's no overhead of pressing a record and I have lots of bills to pay.

Current places are:

http://brianpetersmusic.bandcamp.com
http://petersandwertico.bandcamp.com
http://grandtheftmarmot.bandcamp.com

I will point out that this is actually the first time, in any way, that you can get the uncompressed soundtracks to the Gang movies. I also included "Brawler's Ball" with the Final Jerkoff Soundtrack, which some of you may not have heard. (iTunes should play the Apple Lossless format, but if you're not an iTunes user, this program, Burrrn, http://www.burrrn.net/?page_id=6 will burn lossless FLAC files directly to CD, including all CD Text information.)

In 2005 or 2006, I made a record of meditation type synthesizer pad music for Tyler to listen to while he works, and a number of people have encouraged me to release it, so that will be going up there shortly. Tyler could possibly tell you what things he's worked on while listening to it. That's the closest you'll get to a miniventure soundtrack.

-Brian

youre supposed to be supporting uic adventures, jerk!


i would attest that living with your parents until age 30 is FAR scarier of a prospect then living next to, on top of or in a cemetary.

One of the best things about Gang Adventures being back, is Tyler's way of drawing sexy women.

Ok, I seriously need help with the comic. Is it a joke on every panel? Is it a play on on his name? Or am I just not getting something at the end?
