Hey all you Lunchbox funnies fans! Over at Silent Kimbly, i just completed a week of water comics! my water pun trilogy has Tap water, crime wave, and doggie paddle. If you like water or are hot come over to Kimbly to cool off with funny water comics!

Hey there, Tyler here with some quick news… the MOCCA Art Fest is happening this weekend if you love you some comics and cartoons, and I know you do. If you are in NY this weekend, it’s the place to be. Five of our members will be attending. Dave Roman will be there at the Comics Bakery booth with several of his comics available. Mike Maihack will also be there at his own booth (I think a Cowshell booth… just look for the Lunchbox Funnies logo on his banner), and he’ll have his Cow & Buffalo books available as well as postcards and minis from his graphic novel, Seed. Dean Trippe will be there, actually doing some reporting, and Ryan Sias and Trade Loeffler will be making an appearance as well. Lunchboxtacular!

I hope everyone that attends has a great time, I hear nothing but good from this convention. As for me, I’ll be here keeping the Lunchbox homefires warm and celebrating my anniversary with my beautiful wifey, yay!

Both Cow & Buffalo as well as Wally & Osborne have been known to put on undies and become superheroes. Creators Mike Maihack and Tyler Martin decided to collaborate on an image with the four characters teamed up into some sort of undie-wearing superfriends. They each inked their own characters and Mike handled coloring duties. Here’s the results:

Here’s some downloadable wallpaper of the image at various sizes.

800×600 | 1027×768 | 1152×864 | 1280×1024 | 1600×1200

Wear it on your computer proud. Wear your undies proud too!

This week is a Guest comic week at Silent Kimbly. Today it started off with an AWESOME comic by comic book superstar Mike Wieringo. Who’s drawn Flash, Fantastic four and is currently drawing spider man. here is what he said about Silent Kimbly.

“‘I’ve enjoyed the web strip SILENT KIMBLY by Ryan Sias for quite some time. It’s a very funny, gentle and sweet strip that usually involves a cast of very cute characters in scenarios that illustrate a play on words. Ryan is an incredibly imaginative guy and a terrific artist. Recently he contacted me to ask if I’d be willing to draw a guest strip for him, and I was happy to comply with that request. Ryan just posted the strip I drew, and I’ve posted it here as well– but click the link and head over and read his SILENT KIMBLY archives. You’ll discover how wonderful a world Ryan has created.”

and here is what i say about Mike W..

“Today’s guest comic is by one of my Favorite comic book artist. Mike Wieringo. He’s best know for his Run on the Fantastic Four, and is currently the artist on Friendly Neighborhood spider man. So I was Amazed when I learned he was a fan of Silent Kimlby. He was kind enough to draw me this GREAT comic, I colored it for him and I think the results are Fantastic! : ) I love how Kimbly looks, her hair and her outfit. All the character look great!!
Honesty this is one of the coolest Kimbly drawing’s I ever seen. I love it so much, I can’t thank Mike enough.. It’s AWESOME!!”
