Been a long time since I storytimed some Simon Hanselmann, so today for Halloween I'll be sharing One More Year (2017). Come on in and get cozy, read some classic wtichy adult failure hijinks that hit too close to home sometimes.

>>151080302
>>151080317>>151080313He's probably one of the few artists I go out of my way to grab the releases for, his books are always very nicely done. Has some of the best art spreads I have ever seen.

>>151080551Old buddy of mine has mentioned doing a lot of ketamine lately, wonder if he's nearly shitting himself like Owl.
>>151080589
>>151080602
>>151080624In all honestly Owl probably just has a dirty dick because he's a whore.

>>151080894This one hits me with psychic waves that come all the back from 2008, been in this type of pathetic ass situation.
>>151080900
>>151080912Spoilering a couple of these just incase because of theb
>>151080925Opps, the background*Anyway, if you ever bought weed in the early 2000s you'd have encountered one of these guys without a doubt.

I know Hanselmann really wants to make and MMO show, but I seriously don't think it could match the same feel of the comics. The short he did a few years ago was fine, but I dunno, something about the strip being animated robs it of that greasy, relatable feel. Fuck I just wish he'd release Megg's Coven already.
>>151080975>>151081022I enjoyed the short, but it's really hard to put a voice to each of the characters I think, especially WWJ. He's like primordial chaos, it's hard for me to pin him down just to 'one' voice.
>>151081042
>>151081059>>151081022Also one more thing, given Simon's love of live action/life size dioramas for some of his art pieces for the comic, I feel like stop motion would be the ideal format to translate the comic's look.
>>151081097
>>151081113Speaking of greasy and grimy, it's more Owl 'romance'.
>>151081128
>>151080900What anxiety does the cat have? I know Megh has got a fucked up family life and Mogg is a simp and Werewolf Jones is a white trash freak. Is Mogg's anxiety real on any level besides druggie needing a fix?
>>151081137
>>151081155>>151081149Basically, Mogg is still getting money from his parents at this point too, he's an awful mooch who cracks the moment the pressure comes later on when he faced with just the possibility of getting a job when Megg's benefits might be cancelled. Just kind of an asshole, but so is Owl in his own way, they all enable one another's bad behaviors.
>>151081189
>>151081202Prime example of Owl being just the worst.
>>151081216Probably could be the textbook definition of 'pity sex'.
>>151081235
>>151081246
>>151081235This is good shit. Thanks a lot OP. Happy Halloween.
>>151081257
>>151081271>>151081268Happy Halloween! I'm glad you're enjoying it.
>>151081285
>>151081295When I talk about WWJ being a primordial agent of chaos, this bit is a prime example.

>>151081928
>>151081951WWJ is like a Stephen King tier of bully scary sometimes
>>151081022I think it would somewhat innately lose some of the comic's feel depending on how it's done, but I think that capturing the spirit could be done if Hanselmann thinks he could pull it off.
>>151081970
>>151081985This panel is even funnier if you know WWJ eventually fucks Owl when they do LSD
>>151082007Always liked that Booger and Mike called him out for being a psychopath sometimes.

>>151083795
>>151081983Simon famously burnt his bridges with Adult Swim over then wanting to buy the rights to the strip solely to wasp parasite defile the strip, basically slapping its name onto some C-List woke sitcom star's feminist witch pitch, with Megg becoming a wizarding world feminist icon who marched against the burning of witches during the Salem witch trials and Owl being her himbo boyfriend who cheats on her constantly and Mogg being a generic sarcastic cat who can't get Megg to dump Owl.

>>151084059
>>151084064
>>151084076That's it for One More Year, this was a long one so thanks for those of you who hung in there to the end. I'll probably storytime another one of these around Christmas. Have a happy Halloween.
Dunno if you're still dumping but I'm still reading, so bump
so did the book where megg has to deal with her mom come out? I remember he started doing the instagram comic and delayed it.
Where's the TV Shit, Simon?
>>151085978hes probably talking about the short from like 3 years ago.
My girlfriend just discovered megg mogg and owl on her own yesterday and I was just telling her oh yea I was a big fan and I discovered them from old 4chan story times years ago and was explaining the lore. What a synchronicity thanks for doing this anon I love seeing old traditions stay alive
>>151083813This I remember when it happened it sucked, but Simon was right not to work with them it would have sucked as much as I would have liked for it to happen in a better timeline
does anyone have the image/panels of WWJ sniffing megs pillow and wanking/jizzing on her bed and then sneaking out of the house?
this was fantastic. thank you for posting anon
>>151081983To really capture the spirit of the comic a series of episodes ala over the garden wall based on the books would be good and just like the comic they should be aired out of chronological order and released over a long period like do one a year. It needs to have that being fucked up for years feeling and the way memories flow together when you're in that state years feel like days when youre in that headspace and i loved the comic for how it portrays that accurately and with the way it treats werewolf Jones death
>>151080208>Simon HanselmannThe best tranny working in comics
>>151086069crossdresser.its a very thick line, anon. even grantmorrison larped as a women and he wrote some fucking great comics
where can i read the other releases?
>>151086257read comics online. if you want the zines then i cannot help you sorry
>>151086257He sells them on his site you can find on ig. It's surprisingly well delivered to the 3rd world hole I live in.
>>151086009Glad you enjoyed the storytime, though I am married and in my late 30s so it is not my first rodeo.>>151086058Glad you enjoyed.>>151086043Agreed, I would rather just have more comics and no animation if he can't get the creative freedom he wants. David Lynch was always right about retaining final cut privileges, it's one of the huge reasons he felt Dune was a failure.>>151086257If you want the most recent stuff he is working on, follow him IG, he posts a lot of stuff there.
>>151086044Would you be able to tell me if it is the art style in pic related or his more developed style from the storytime? It helps me narrow it down quite a bit.
>>151086388its from when they kicked out wwj and he kills himself iirc
>>151086453this took a long time to find, I hope it is right
>>151086639following panel of him runningSource is the short 'minihex'
Thanks OP.
>>151083849Reminds me of my last date.
>>151080208bump
>>151084059Weird
reading ... creepily...
Thanks for posting OP. One more year was actually the first megg mogg & owl comic I read. I’m thinking about drawing some stuff for this thread.
>>151088195The creep most
I feel bad for Owl.
>>151089195Don't, he should have never moved in with Megg and Mogg in the first place because it was all for an unrequited crush on Megg. Owl is self destructive in his own way, usually by thinking with his dick that is somehow more diseased than WWJ because he's actually more of a whore than WWJ.
>>151080212Reading
>>151083813Fuck those people, this strip is hilarious for it's cringe and edginess.
>>151089195You really shouldn't. He has a stable job, and could easily fixed his life by removing these people from his life if he didn't have a stupid oneitis fixation on Megg. His familiarity with sticking with """"friends"""" that shits on him is his choice to make. You could say they are all made for each other as Owl is also pretty much an opportunist asshole.
Thanks OP!
>>151091596Enjoy!>>151091769Yeah, part of the DNA is over the top edgy behavior and antics, if you want to sanitize someone like WWJ you have already lost.>>151091842Another Anon who gets it, Owl has made a ton of bad choices, chief of all living and supporting Megg/Mogg for years before leaving.>>151092312Glad you enjoyed it, I'll do another one around Christmas.
>>151082548one of my all time favorite pages; the combination payoff from WWJ/Mike peeping and Meg/Booger's swimsuit talk leading into Meg screaming underwater just makes me laugh and laugh.
>>151094025Has all the elements of a chaotic moment in something like it's always sunny, but not held back by any level of standards or practices.
>>151090612>>151091842>read the previous issue>100+ womenThat's a level of whore I never thought possible.
>>151083813>Megg becoming a wizarding world feminist icon who marched against the burning of witches during the Salem witch trials and Owl being her himbo boyfriend who cheats on her constantly and Mogg being a generic sarcastic cat who can't get Megg to dump Owl.
>>151092946>Fuck dogs>Our love is realWhew I don't know if it's a deep cut but it's a cut all right
Good stuff OP. Never read any of the comic before this thread, why won't they stop being mean to the owl
>>151080589I have a friend who's been doing medically prescribed and administered ketamine and it weirds me out so much that he's on the stuff that I dont want to ask about the side effects. It pains me my guy's mental illness is so severe that he needs sedatives.
>>151081022The fact that he refuses to so it unless he has extreme control over it is reassuring to me. Plus just given what we can infer about his upbringing based on his comics, and knowing he absolutely has an addict mother in Tasmania he supports, I don't begrudge him selling out. He puts a shitload of effort into coloring these things and his wide spreads are incredible
>>151081149>What anxiety does the cat have?Mogg's just a bum asshole who enjoys the status quo of being the adopted son of a rich couple who give him an allowance, having a gf from high school and shitting on Owl because he's not gonna do anything about it He's a slave to it which is why he freaks out every time that status quo is threatened. He doesn't have anything else going for him and he knows it. I'm pretty sure he peaked in High school during his time at his Track Team
>>151086388>"do"Didnt this used to say "rape"
Fuck's sake, Simon, just give us Megg's Coven.
>>151099062Yes, it was censored later on
>>151099462>rape scented candle
>>151099062Yea, I can't find the exact panels, but you can see the leftovers in some still.
>>151101789>honey i raped the kids>the never ending rape>austin powers:the spy who raped me>>robin williams
>>151099451Last time I checked in he was doing another alt universe run similar to Crisis Zone on IG.
>>151097531They have their reasons the more you get to know him.
>>151097531It's because Owl is an annoying limp-wrist who "secretly" pines for a trashy used up green bitch who knows he just wants to "get his" and fuck her. He acts like he's above it but still hangs out with a bunch of giant druggie losers anyway, partially so he can lord over them despite also associating with themOwl's a pretentious uptight hypocrite who's weird around women
>>151084059>>151084064I'm stupid, what's the reveal?
>>151080944Can americans spend that much on recreational drugs while being unemployed and living in a rented house?
>>151103793They don't live in America
Awh nice. Anyone have files for anything after the WW Jones and son special?
>>151101830>Crisis ZoneTHE definitive piece of COVID literature, it's a goddam shame how little love it gets that run was a masterpiece
>>151103614that's WWJ as a human. Warehouse Jones. When he sobers up he stops being a wolf man.
>>151101789We used to have a proper banner
>>151080345I bought his art book a few months back and it was a very worthwhile purchase even though it didn't include my favorite page of his.
>>151081235I cannot fathom the mindset behind pity sex like this. How can someone have such nonexistent self worth?
>>151102313didn't Owl move in the last "canon" book? and Meggs Coven would deal with how the rest cope without him around.
>>151103614The implication that he's just some dude that turns into a werewolf when he's on drugs but before this we've never seen him not a werewolf therefore not on something. We've never seen his kids not in wolf mode from energy drinks and sugar cereal and if crisis zone can be trusted to effect the main canon in any way, the boys' mother susan can also do werewolf mode when she takes drugs though she's normally human.
>>151089195I feel bad for owl because he clearly has some self-esteem/codependency issues but yeah he's definitely not as much of a victim as it might first appear. A dynamic i appreciate seeing is how his friends' level of druggie insanity compared to him is basically the same when you compare him to normal people.
>>151095043>That's a level of whore I never thought possible.Right?! Once upon a time I may had felt bad for him. I read enough of these strips over the last decade and Owl comes off as this desperate virgin, but he probably has fucked more strange than anyone else in the group. He is just a shallow body addicted to a kind of dopamine fix that only a loveless hole like him has and cannot fill. He is chasing some dragon that cannot be slain by anyone other than someone else willing to stay with his directionless ass. He is chasing real love, but it's is a high school crush level of love and excitement he is craving. He has not matured to a point what real love is.
>>151097531I was more curious why Owl even stayed
>>151106219Owls a huge fucking loser, and he fits right in with the rest of them. I do often still feel bad for him when i read the strips, but then see the other horrible things he does and he deserves all the shit he gets.Even if he actually left for real and never came back, hed fall into the same crowd with a different group of losers and be in the same spot.
>>151105894I believe bad gateway is the last canon book because it's horribly depressing for everyone, owl isn't in it, and at the end megg goes home to deal with her family which would lead into megg's coven
>>151106796oh yeah you're right. man opinions about Owl changed a lot since I read that storytime. I remember a lot more anons were sympathetic to him and were glad he managed to move out.
>>151107014thats still my stance. Owl constantly got shit on for trying to actually do anything.
>>151106550I mean, in other depictions and continuities of these comics he sometimes shown maturity growth when the chips are down, but given to his own devices he is still mentally weak to vices.
>>151101789>Robin Williams
>>151107014I'm glad for him too because even if he's kind of a shit, he's not an actively malicious disaster like his friends so free of their influence he's just a douche at worst. Plus there's multiple positive opportunities he's scored for himself that were ruined solely because his friends are assholes and he is capable of getting his shit together with some assertiveness as seen in crisis zone.
>>151107014Owl gets better, but I like that in the alt universes Simon lets him become the endgame of what 'could be' his worst self and behaviors, it's fucking hilarious.
>>151105775I think it's more so she sees him as such garbage and so pitiful at sex this is the easier choice rather than having a conversation with him.
>>151080423>>151080445Honestly, in what fucking world did Owl think that hiring WWJ of all people would be a good idea?
>>151108878Owl is a terrible judge of character, he wasn't able to clock a girl was 13 years old when Megg and Mogg knew instantly.
what country do they all live in?
>>151109591It's Seattle now
>>151081155Not sure if someone else already cropped this one, but it's nice
>>151109811Whole series is some of the best reaction images you will ever find.
>>151084064>>151084090Dunno why but I really like these pictures for some reason , this is the first time I've seen this comic but it's making me feel incredibly nostalgic for the early 2000s , probably rose tainted glasses but it felt like it was a better time compared to now
>>151080208For a moment there, I thought they have Japanese released
>>151110279You should check out some of Simon's art pages, they really are a mood.
>>151109591I think it was usually very vague Australia but now they usually live in America
>>151080208Cool
>>151110279You and your ilk are an abomination against humanity itself. Gods below, the "people" I have to share the world with.
What order should I read the TPBs in?
Any updates on YWONAH?
the best part of these comics is there are no black people
>>151112867
>>151083813Yeah, I remember it. I've held onto Simon's commentary on it from Crisis Zone because it's got some hilarious details and is insightful.>>151083835>>151095825You boys are in for a treat.
>>151115069inject this shit into my veins
>>151080208Checking in for the best anti drug cartoon I think I've ever seen.Convinced some pot smokers relatives to stay functional pot addicts and to kick the hard drug using loser friend out instead of following them into werewolf jones land..
>>151081308setting a bookmark here.
>>151115069I remember in one of these he was saying that once your famous people just start making shit up about you, like his Justin Roiland. This was just after he did a short on House of Pelony and a couple months before the accusations came out
So whats happened in recent stuff? i havent read any since the covid lockdown strips.
>>151115069Absolutely based
>>151108878take >>151108908 and add sunken cost fallacy, Owl really wants his $200 dollars back somehow.
>>151116035Presently on Instagram Simon is doing a sort of psuedo-AU arc ala Crisis Zone where the gang is caught up in a full on zombie apocalypse. Megg's Coven is a WIP as usual.
>>151113088Megahex into bad gateway is the only one that really matters. The rest are either noncanon or happen in a nebulous time void of "whenever"
These guys are absolutely awful, holy shit.
>>151109591I think its established they live in the Pacific Northwest of America now, but for a long time it was clear they were still in Tasmania/Australia and the biggest giveaway is that Werewolf Jones can go to the hospital any time he needs to
>>151080212bump
>>151115069>it was not Megg and MoggHonestly not sure how I feel about him saying this with a straight face. I mean it seems based, but given, y'know.
>>151116035Check out his IG, he's been doing another alt universe series that's been pretty enjoyable.>>151117364Glad you enjoyed.>>151120131Someone here who knows the old magic.
>>151120946>Someone here who knows the old magicYeah, I had those books as a kid (just as Simon clearly did). Don't get me wrong, I love MMO and don't begrudge him his success at all. It's legally distinct from the original as Rick & Morty is from Back to the Future, but there's still some amusing irony in him having to see someone else twist his characters beyond all recognition when that's exactly how he created these characters in the first place.
Owl>Megg>>>Mogg>>>>>>>WWJOwl's biggest sin is just being an orbiter and a pussy, we see him try to escape druggie loserhood but the others drag him down (AA meetings in Megahex)Megg is similar, and clearly hates what her life is, but is still willing to drag others down with herMogg is okay with his life, but still wants to drag others downWWJ is horrible
>>151080208sweet!
>>151121424Owl revels in how pathetic he is while using his even-worse "friends" as a crutch to excuse being a total piece of shit. He's a cringing fag who bases his self worth largely on holding down menial jobs with no career advancement.He's probably the most realistic character; I've actually met people like him. People like M&M shape up or burn out by their mid 20's, and dudes like WWJ are all in prison.
Reading this comic felt like being the only sober person in a house party filled with heavily drunk annoying people
>>151122275I had a classmate in university that was WWJ-like. came to class high as a kite, got into random fights, disappeared for days, and I'm pretty sure he ended up a crack head.
>>151122275Holding down menial jobs is obviously better than what all his friends are doing, and don't forget he tries to get serious jobs but gets actively sabotaged. He was made a manager at the hot sporting goods store, got a junior trial job at an office, both of which got intentionally fucked over by his "friends">>151122668Uni is the only place to really meet WWJ types, they all either get right or crash afterwards
>>151121424Owl is a being captured by materialism, WWJ is a being freed from it.
>>151115069I thought I was a quite woke person to a annoying degree but damn Hollywood is on anther level
>>151122985that's just bog standard junkie babble
>kino zone has its own volume nowholy shit I only saw this now.
>>151122985What >>151123578 said. He isn't /really/ interested in knowing any of that, because it isn't written at the bottom of a bottle. He's just coping with his addiction and Megg knows it in the last panel
>>151081322WWJ is Barbz?!?!??
>>151124249WWJ looks like he's hitting the Mega Man 1
>>151080212Bump
>>151080208bignose
Trash.
>>151081308Crucifixion confirmed canon in this comic
>>151081216All of these characters are unlikable.
>>151081042It's funny, Mogg makes me think of Lorenzo Music's Garfield not because he's a cat but I see the general lazy lower tone in him.
