DingleBerries!

Do I suck at this, or what?

Foley — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 06:59:28 +0000

Sorry dingle-scouts: Got the double header comin up Intervention con AND SPX is this weekend, I've been desperately trying to get together an ashcan book as well as help Kiwi prepare for SPX as well as a million other things... I'll try to put a comic up tomorrow: but no promises

#71 Marketable Skills

Foley — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:32:26 +0000

First off: once again sorry for the delay there Dingle-Scouts!
However here it is: Although obviously out of continuity... I just thought this was funny and couldn't wait the months it's going to take to finish the current arc in order to get around to it...
Also Since the real life Starshine just visited (The real Starshine is the most unlike his dingle counterpart, he's only a year younger than me [and prolly about 5'8"], a law student in California, and drinks as much if not more than I do) so I felt the need to star him in another strip.
However Starshine's visit has also spawned this new trend of mine where I only sleep once every 2 days... This is prolly not good for me: Someone get me a job so my life can have purpose again!
In other news, I also started working on a side project that I kind of really like... but we'll see how it pans out. Maybe I'll give you guys a piece of it later...
Oh also, for anyone who was wondering: In my mind I assume Starshine sent him this one: http://xkcd.com/149/
Anyway: Toodles!

comic on it’s way

Foley — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 04:10:39 +0000

So this is bad even for me: - I actually thought it was tuesday today all day... Not until midnight when my computer informed me it was not thursday did i realize this error. - I am currently awaiting use of Kiwi's scanner to scan in the pages i made last night (thinking i was getting an early start on things). Comic will be up ASAP

#70: Imaginary Friends with Benefits

Foley — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 17:44:28 +0000

Welcome back Dingle-Scouts! It has been a long and arduous journey of self discovery. I'm certain you're wondering what I've learned, well the truth is that I'm wondering that too... I know a lot has changed, but I can't quite put my finger on specifics... Maybe I'll figure it out and document it at a later point. In the main time: Enjoy the return of dingle-joy! (Maybe by 2012 we'll reach triple digits?) I apologize for the art, but i scrapped most everything I'd already drawn: and at this point I've gotten a bit rusty drawing everyone... So bear with it, and look to the gods of Jeph J. to increase my art skills over time. I think this comic is humorous, but to be honest I wrote myself into a corner and this was mainly used to get me out of it. So even funnier comics will follow every wednesday from now on. It's good to be back kids, let's see what the internet's got: eh? HACK THE PLANET, -Foley (note: if you need a quick reminder of your dingle backstory: Foley had just walked in on Mike attempting to cross-dress in an effort to "get in the door" with a group of ladies)

hiatus: or stating the obvious

Foley — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 09:50:57 +0000

The reason i have not said this officially beforehand is mainly because well... I did not want to make it official. However now it's become more than blatent:

DingleBerries is on indefinite hiatus.

Having been let go from my place of work, you would think I'd have a lot more time with which to make comics... and that is completely true: but for some reason, all the dingle joy i once felt is gone.
Maybe it's melancholy over my unemployment, maybe it's manic and abject fear that i won't find another job in time... Maybe I'm just not as bored when i'm not stuck behind a cubicle desk 9-6 every day? I can not say for certain... but I would not want to put out a comic when my heart is not in i
I am not saying DingleBerries is gone forever, I even have most of this arc half finished... but for now: I am doing a bit of soul searching and finidng out what makes ME laugh, in hopes that in the future I can make YOU laugh. I want to thank all my loyal dingle scouts as well as Kiwi, Tim, George, Ropke, Eric, and all the rest of my cast.

A special thanks to Ami and Bree, who provided me a home at nerd comics. I am happy for the time we spent, and hope that in the future when I feel the inspiration again: We can once again work together.
Don't worry, I still haven't watched deerhunter all the way through: So this isn't good bye. Merely: Till we meet again.
-Foley

69: TransMetroPolitics

Foley — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 02:25:48 +0000

"If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself", that's what Mike was supposed to say in Latin. I have since been told MY Latin is crappier than Mike's is. As I apparently got the translation wrong. Apologies for that, I'll go back and fix it tomorrow (maybe).

So here it is: Sexy number 69. It wasn't planned this way, it's just how it laid itself out... Aaaanyway: A quick disclaimer for those of you haters out there. Foley is not disgusted with the idea of Transvestites, merely that Mike does NOT make a convincing woman. Fun story: The real Mike Ropke used to also have a backpack, it was filled with among other things: A padded bra left behind one play rehearsal, a thong I found on the floor in my junior high hallway (and gifted him for his birthday), and the lyrics to his local band's songs denoting his love of chronic masturbation... One day his mother found this backpack: She said nothing... Mike merely found it emptied of all contents and on the kitchen table... And that's how Ropke found himself in therapy... The FIRST time.

We’re back Bitches!

Foley — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 04:33:23 +0000

Jeez guys, this was horrid. i've lost jobs, loved ones, and even apet rat. Then Nerdcomics as a whole was hacked and taken over. However this would NOT stand under Bree's watchful eye! Many thanks the mistress of Sex Drugs and June Cleaver for fixing nerd comics and Dinglecomics especially. For those of you still stuck on the end of your seats: Our arc will continue on wednesday, for now enjoy this thin lizzy inspired dingle treasure nugget!

68: The One Everyone Has to Google

Foley — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 02:56:38 +0000

Greetings and salutations! in a bit of a hurry dinglescouts, but it feels good to be back in plot land doesn’t it? by the by: it means “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself”. The full implications of this will be shown next week! Later, Foley ——— There! Now with comic! Ha ha ha Sorry about that Dingle-Scouts. It’s surprising how much trouble little mistakes can get you into! Who’s ready for the sexiest comic ever next week?? I know -I- am! -Foley (again)

Shrmmmmm!

Foley — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 05:55:53 +0000

Sorry kids, I was distracted heavily tonight by my new room mate. I did not do the comic... However I think I did something even better! (Warning: VERY NSFW) Who is this toon-blowing David Cross Jr? This is my room mate's boyfriend Syd. Syd hates few things in this world more than the blue beetle and Comet the Super Horse (He really does hate them with a passion most people reserve for important matters)... Or does he?!?! I realize you were waiting for a comic... but A: This is hilarious B: This is technically the first artistic collaberation between Kiwi and Myself since episode 19 in November 2008. C: Seriously, it's hilarious. PS: Syd: I didn't mean it baby, come back to bed! PPS: Beth herself (Syd's gf) had nothing to do with this. PPPS: Does anyone know how to pronounce "Shrmmmmmm!"?) -Foley
