"Y'know?"


"[Rolling Stone:] 'The next time you want a drink, what will you have instead?'
[Billie Joe Armtrong:] 'I'll probably run outside, hail a taxi, go back to my
hotel room and have a soda. Probably a root beer. I love root beer.'"

-Billie Joe Armstrong (via Rolling Stone Magazine, March 2013)

Welcome one and all to a brand Green Day Comic (FINALLY).
This one's short, sweet, and to the point: a little gag on how Billie Joe did
such a good job quitting his addiction in the past year, how he's changed
for the better (I'm seriously proud of him in every way for it), and how he
now (fictionally) has a new addiction he's alluded to in Rolling Stone: root beer.
Of course, this is in no way trying to take away his accomplishment. I thought
that now would be a good time to joke about it and put it all behind us since he's
gotten so much better. It's true that I have not seen him smile bigger, perform with
more enthusiasm, or love what he's doing this much since he came back. I almost
feel like we have a fresh, new Billie Joe with a passion for his work and an infinite
love for his fans-- even thrice the amount than ever before. Hence, this comic
is humorous, but teasing in such a way because we love him so.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: We're so proud of you, Billie Joe!
... And we love you... SO much! Keep on rockin' or asses off!
Just know that I am so proud and honored to call you my hero.

I have to say that my favorite thing about this comic.... Mike and Tre. They're so Mike and Tre. And their facial expressions are perfect.

(especially Mike in 1).

Aww, thank you, Kelly!
I've been really studying the boys and practicing drawing them lately.
I suppose it shows with how they look in this comic, and I'm happy to hear!
One thing ironic, though: if Mike and Tre really look Mike and Tre-ish, I'd
say that Beej is FAR off model because of those facial expressions lol.
The expression are extreme, but when I can get them down and keep Green
Day's personalities and looks intact, I think that's the REAL feat here.

But hey: close enough.

Thanks again, dear! Glad ya like it!

Honestly. Your Your Mike and Tre are better (but you seem to know that)... You have them nailed... But they're easy, in comparison.

A few problems with Billie (the real one) I've noticed, in general, that make him a pain in the ass to properly draw.
1. His eyebrows don't do anything. They mildly move toward each other when he has his more intense expressions, which really only means that he has a line between his eyebrows. OR the eyebrows go up, not even arching in an interesting way, when he opens his eyes wide... How the #%$@^$%@(@&$^*&@$^*&^$ do you emote a cartoon when you have to keep the eyebrows in one $&%(#&%*$ place?! I'm also convinced that he's hired a pair of those fuzzy caterpillars to hang out on his face because he doesn't actually have eyebrows.
2. From the front he has the face shape of an anime character, but from the side he has a face shape of a THUMB.
3. THE NOSE. Don't even get me started about how different it looks from different angles....
4. DERP KING. 'nuff said.
Why is this man so gorgeous?! By all accounts he shouldn't be...

The bottom line of this whole tirade is really to offhandedly compliment you on your Beej because he is a pain in the ass to draw... From one Idiot artist to another.

Agreed! Root beer is seriously the best soda EVAR.

Oh, spankoos and grassy-ass, dear!
As you know, I busted my ASS on these inkings.
The cross-hatching and the fine line shading is tough,
but fun to do and looks decent if I get it right! :3

Also, I'd hope the boys'd like it... Especially Beej.
I think I've made him into an even bigger dork in this one.
