I miss the internet so much it hurts sometimes.

New comic is up at http://speaker-mobile.deviantart.com/art/Life-Sucks-106-81231147. As usual, when I have access to a computer that allows me to upload files via ftp, it'll be on the site properly, til then, hang tight. With regards to the latest comic... it didn't come out exactly as I planned, instead of the last two panels, there was gonna be one panel where the shoplifter was gonna slide under Geoffrey's legs, but I just could not draw it right. So I changed it because I was frustrated. Very frustrated.

Seeing as I got paid today, I'm gonna order the internet for my new house, I can't stand these library computers. It took the computer 20 minutes to load up yesterday! I nearly fell asleep. So yes, internet will be back on my computer soon... I can't wait.

Hi ho.

So thought that with my Easter break I'd be able to catch up on things... then I was asked if I wanted to do some extra hours in work. My financial situation forced me to choose work. Stupid lack of money.

Back in action....sorta.

Ah, it feels good to be able to upload the comics where they belong... I hate Deviant Art so much, although I'm not sure why I hate it. Anyway, I still don't have the internet at my new house, so future comics may still be posted on my Deviant Art account. I would have had the internet sooner...but I couldn't afford it, same old same old really. That's the great thing about being a student, you can't afford anything... yet you need everything. I had to buy an A1 portfolio the other day (which I haven't actually paid for yet, because I have this annoying habit of needing to eat), plus, I had to buy A1 plastic wallets to go inside it, and they aren't cheap. Of course, I would have rather had the A3 portfolio, which was cheaper, but my tutor wouldn't allow that. Stupid A1... I hate A1!!! It's so awkward!

Man, I hate a lot today.

Also, I was going to go the the 2008 UK Web and Mini Comix Thing today... but I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY.

Ah well... Maybe next year. If anyone actually went, please email me and tell me how it was.

Seriously.... what the fuck?!

Man, Jeremy Kyle... what a crazy show. I When I watch it I get angry. Angry at the complete idiots on it. Good GOD! Where do they find these people! So this girl is on the show worrying that her boyfriend is cheating... of course how am I supposed to take it seriously when this girl is 18 and her boyfriend is 38? Okay, I know there are many people that see an age gap in a relationship isn't a big deal... but 18 and 38? Twenty years? Puh-lease! If it's not stuff like that on the show, it's 14 year old pregnant girls not knowing who the father of their child is. Let me say that again... FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRLS NOT KNOWING WHO THE FATHER OF THEIR CHILD IS. What the hell? C'mon....really?

The reason I watch The Jeremy Kyle Show? The fact that Jeremy Kyle doesn't hold back. He tells these people off. I mean, literally shouts at them! It's great.

Digitally Remastered.

Well, hello! Finally got a bit of internet access. Seems that my ISP has deemed it necessary to terminate my connection, due to a few... payment issues. Which is why I haven't been updating anything on the site. Of course...there is always the computers in uni, but alas, they don't allow for FTP, plus Blogger is blocked on them as well for some reason (maybe to stop students accessing the computers just to update their blog to tell the world how crap the uni computers are...yes...it's all so simple now...).

So yes I finally updated! And for those who don't know, this comic is a completely redrawn and re-written version of the the last update. I just had to do it again, the utter piss-poorness of the last comic was causing me to cry myself to sleep. So, I hope you like.

Note as well, the shift in technique I've employed with the latest comic. For the last few months I have grown increasingly fed up of my usual draw, colour, copy then paste technique, so... after reading a few printed comics for inspiration, I went about actually drawing the whole thing from scratch, panels and all! Regulars may remember back in April last year I attempted this (wow...I didn't realise it was so long ago), but, I wasn't happy with the outcome, so went back to my usual practice. This latest comic however, I am happy with, I still have a long way to go when it comes drawing these comic pages, and I hope to continue this way, learning as I go.

Again, thanks to the readers who have stuck with me throughout the late updates and no shows. You're the best. Email me!

I actually got up!

Today is a momentous occasion, it marks the beginning of a new era. I actually got up before the afternoon! I've had breakfast and now I'm drinking a nice cup of tea (as us brits do not drink coffee, as you all know). I feel pretty good. Now I'm doing the comic, I'll post it as soon as it's done.

To infinity...AND BEYOND.

Okay guys... I'm little fed up. Not fed up of the comic, not fed up of you guys, not fed up with friends or family... I'm fed up of myself. For the last few months I have just been lazy. I mean really lazy. I mean, I've always had a sort of lazy 'yeah, whatever' attitude, but lately... it's just become too much. You know what I did today? I got up at 12, and sat on my computer all day. Now it's gone 2 in the morning, and what have I done? Nothing. I could have got got on with a comic today, maybe done a few, so I wouldn't be so behind all the time. But no, I decided that playing Chrono Trigger all day would be better suited to my time. I am an absolute fucktard.

So now I've decided, I'm sick of being this lazy bastard. I'm gonna do something about it. Tomorrow I'm gonna wake up at 7 o'clock. Which is in about 5 hours from now.

Once I'm awake, I'll have some breakfast, get on with the comic, finish it, upload it, then get on with all the other things I've been putting off. I am not going to pointlessly surf the internet and play games all day. I'm going to actually DO something.

The Michael D. J. Turvey you knew is gone...

The new and improved Michael D. J. Turvey shall reign SUPREME.

I'm serious... I'm changing myself right now.

My head is fried... TO THE MAX.

Hey guys, comic should be up soon, had a load of things I needed to take care of, namely two late assignments. Which still aren't finished. Plus I didn't get paid in work because of a clerical error! BASTARDS. And what else... Oh yes, for the last few days, my internet connection has been absolutely spastic.

This is me at the moment:


Love you all.

Flat out broke.

Man, having no money sucks. I've been working at my new job for about seven weeks now and I still haven't been paid. Next week is pay day, but it just seems so far away. I don't even have money to get to work. I haven't had any money now since about August, and now it is really starting to get to me.

And about the comic, there should be one up on Friday.

Party like it's 1985

Just come home from the cinema after watching Back To The Future, You read that right, Back To The Future! How awesome is that? I think it's great that cinemas offer old classics now and again, sometimes you just can't beat good old nostalgia. Of course, watching an old movie does have it's flaws however, there were a few skipped frames, an annoying buzzing ound during the middle section of the movie and some very rough parts, but then again, the film is over 20 years old.

The great thing about watching a film like that in the cinema is that everyone there knows it good, they are there because of their love for the film. It was a great atmosphere.

We were also given a questionnaire at the end asking what other classic movies we'd like to see, I was disappointed to read that they couldn't show any of the Star Wars or Indiana Jones movies, or The Goonies. Which is annoying when you consider that they are the greatest movies of all time. That's not opinion. That's fact.

Blogger-iffic!

Hey there! I decided to get a blogger account, to make posting things a bit easier! Well...it better be easier after the amount of time I spent trying to integrate the blog onto the site. Jesus Christ it was confusing. With the new system, people can now put their own comments directly onto the posts! Isn't the internet wonderful?! Hahaha... it would be if you didn't have the worst wireless adapter in the world. For real.

That shit cost me £80! Now I see it on Amazon for £19.99?! Now I'm even more pissed!!!!!
