Description
Playing around with the boys from a story that is still brewing in the mind. I was also practicing with style and how the comic might look in the end.You might remember the one guy in the black coat as Mercutio Vondrasek, but due to some pretty heavy thinking and decision making (TM), I decided to rename him. This is a big deal for me, I know you may not know this but for ME, changing a character's name is a huge deal. The universe they're in though, there is tragically no Shakespeare, and therefore no real reason for him to be named after a guy who does not exist. Thus, he is now named Martinek, but Ant calls him Tek.
Martinek then, is the guy with the black hair and a haggard look and black coat. Arant "Ant" is the guy who got his ear pierced and is being heckled by his older brother who is, lastly, Hayward Kunkel.
I admit, I love these guys a TON, which is why I couldn't help giving them a small test run.
These guys all work together in a tiny company that Hayward runs, so they have a bit of history. They are also forced to be in close quarters fairly frequently which can test the tempers of those who are more hot-headed and irrational (IE Martinek and Hayward). Ant is commonly the peace keeper. He don't want no fights in here, shurriff.
Love you much, hope you dig! I love these dudes an obscene amount. Oh yeah, you heard me. OBSCENE. Thus you can be expecting to see more of them fairly soon.
Martinek, Arant, & Hayward (c) me

I saw this and laugh. There are some days that I swear, I am EXACTLY like Hayward. I'll start messing with something that looks uneven... sometimes for hours on end... just trying to make it perfect...
....yeeeaaaaah....

*snort laugh* Dude, I SO totally relate to Hayward. Freaking haaaaaate asymmetry. Obsessive-compulsions to the max. 
Awesome strip~! You totally got the reaction of an OCD person down to a T.

Lol, I can just imagine this conversation between them:
Hayward: "Your face is bothering me."
Tek: "...What?"
Hayward: "Your face is bothering me."
Tek: "Well what do you want me to do about it?"
Hayward: "Fix it."
Tek: "...Jerk."

OCD is probably one of the most hilarious things in the world. Except for the poor blond man. I am sorry, blond man. I hope that one day, you will wake up to see an even world.

His ticks don't get too bad until he is tired. I understand that.

You could still call him Mercutio. I thought it was a real name and i in'tknow that Shakespear had exclusive rights to that name.
I don't know what I'm trying to say anymore. Nevermind. lol

I am in love with Hayward. Sort of. Well, with his looks, to be honest. 
And I will need some time to get used to the name change of Mercutio Martinek. So I feel you there. If I had to rename one of my characters, it would be like... well. It's like... I don't know. I don't even DARE to imagine.

Oh god I think that way............. lol, I was in pain when my ears were not evenly pierced.

...pfft.
This sounds almost creepily like what would happen if I did the earring thing.
'cept my nose is a bit crooked, so I'd be playing both Ant and Tek's parts.

Interesting! I must admit I wasn't really into the name Mercutio at first, but now it seems strange for him to be named anything else! xD I'm sure I'll get used to it though.
But this raises more pronunciation questions! Is it 'Martinek' like 'martin-ek' or 'mar-teen-ek'?

the dialogue in your comics is always so funny - you really know how to capture/convey intonation and sarcasm and whatnot.

These guys look like so much fun xDDD I can see why you love them so obscenely.

People find asymmetry annoying? Does this mean I should get a wristwatch for both of my hands so my friends won't be annoyed?
Get's ya thinkin'. Nice work.

I like this. It's got a nice flow and the art is pretty good. ^_^ Nice job!
The symmetry bit cracked me up too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Oh this made my night, I wish I could find people in real life that are aggravated by asymmetry. I would drive them up the wall with my love of it.
I love your art style and your characters seem real which is good to see with the recent trends in comics and such.

This guy and Death the Kid should meet up and chat.

True stuff. Asymmetry can be quite bothersome, depending on what plain you are dividing the object.
