Ian Andersen is a student cartoonist from Houston
(his stuff is pretty frickin good)

check out his sketchblog: http://weflewairplanes.blogspot.com
and comics: http://citriccomics.blogspot.com
Drawn by me in 2007, colored by Ben Anders very recently. His colors are pretty groovy, but man, I'm just not sure about my old linework.
But the last panel made me lol so hard. I know it's sad and depressing, but still.
Take that today's youth!
I laughed uncontrollably.
O emo kid, were you not asking for it? Were you not?! He were.
And I love the last two panels, so sad... But so funny!
Unless they're already dead.
1. Andy- okay, here goes: Panel 3 is not Kimbo. It is his alternate reality doppelganger. He skips ahead into the future in panel 10, in the process becoming older. The real Kimbo (who we shall call "Earth-A" Kimbo) continues moving forward on his own timeline until panel 7, when reality diverges into 3 different dimensions. Panels 10, 9, and 8 are meant to be read in reverse order, keeping in mind that the Earth-B timeline continues to move forward. Ultimately, Old Kimbo (actually Kimbo's grandfather from the Elseworlds Universe) makes a surprise guest appearance and murders Kimbo's son, thereby fixing the space-time continuum and saving Earth-B (but destroying Earth-M). Hope that clears things up!
3. Thank you kindly, Mukpuddy, by the way, I loved the Pugh-baby cartoon!
4. Mark: oh that tough-guy Kimbo. He stood up to both an old man AND a child. Actually now that I think about it, Kimbo's kind of a prick!
5. A- your comments feed my soul!
6. Thanks Jpox!
7. Egypt- Tell me about it!
8. Tillie- we were all emo kids once...
9. Bamboozle- good math! You got pretty close there...
10. HeavyMetalViking- okay so here's what happened. I was at the checkout stand and I realized I forgot the tomatoes. With two people ahead of me in line, I figure I have a minute to dash over to the produce section and grab a couple. So in front of the tomato bin, I totally cut off this old codger. It's incredibly rude of me but in my haste, I do not notice. I mean I am wedged between this dude and the produce trough. He snaps at me and i apologize profusely, stumbling around trying to back away from him as he threatens to punch me in the face. I'm mortified. He finally walks away and I swear to god he mutters the following words: "That's the problem with the world today! Everybody's sorry. Just like the MTA!" I tell him to go f--- his mother and then I run away like a six year old girl. That night I eat a tomatoless sandwich. The End.
11. Annie-Mae- the buildings didn't change because he is walking through "Old Town" and the city has a great historical building renovation policy.
12. Nicolas-Thank you!
13. Sib- I love me some "S" Ybille.
14. David- thanks!
15. Sandra- can you tell I really miss drawing Grandpapi?
16. Thanks Marlo!
I know... I know... I'm lame for suggesting that to a master cartoonist T_T
By the way, 1930 Nightmare Theatre is now one of my favorite webcomics on the web! Keep up the good work, Ricky!
