Comic 001: Prime Stomp
I must say that I am very excited to have this site up running again and to be able to do it with a bunch of friends who equally share in my enthusiasm is exciting nonetheless. For those of you who have never heard of us, Punch the Grunt is an online comic detailing the crazy antics of a group of gamers growing up in little ol' Jersey. What you'll find in the story arcs to be are the insane behavior of what can only be cataloged as the depraved and the damned; a concoction of ridicule, shame, robots, and flare guns rising to an abrupt crescendo only to be brought back down to earth by the asinine antics of a group raised by Saturday Morning cartoons and a bunch of deranged alcoholics (Dad this one's for you ;-).
My part in the chaos to follow is as the writer and illustrator. Although I do not fancy myself an artist, I am a lover of art, and it has been something I have dabbled in from time to time. When I was eight, I remember my father asking me, "John, when you're in Prison what are you going to do to entertain yourself?" From that
day I decided that instead of relying upon other things to captivate my interest, I'll find ways to do that myself. And so I have. This website is, as my therapist might add, the first fruits of that long winter which was my childhood. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might contact your lawyer to sue us for defamation of character, but
hopefully you'll come back next time to punch that grunt again.
