The words are from three Five Iron Frenzy songs: “Abraham Lincoln Beard (First Movement),” “Abraham Lincoln Beard (Second Movement),” and “Abraham Lincoln Beard (Third Movement).”
Yes, I know Baldie’s glasses lense is too big in the fourth panel, so don’t tell me. I also know that one glasses lense is bigger than the other in the first panel, so don’t tell me that, either. The oversized lense in the fourth panel was unintended; the different-sizes lenses in the first panel was intended.
These are the first of the aforementioned “dump” images. Man, does that phrase sound wrong.
I have just finished moving any comic-volumes that were on IMGboot to Flickr. IMGboot was great in theory but poor in execution. Not to say that I hate IMGboot—I’ll still be using it as a “dump” for random images and CVS/comic sketches—but when it wouldn’t accept a comic-volume, I knew I had to use Flickr.
Yes, this is the before-unseen MoS (Master of Stickdudes).
This is based on an old joke of mine. In fact, it’s based on the one funny comic from summer 2001—which I still won’t reveal, since I’m going to redraw it and use it one of these days.

It was living hell for me to get this comic uploaded. First, IMGBoot wasn’t accepting the upload. That’s not really a problem, since I registered a CVS/comic account on Flickr. So I logged into CVS/comic’s Flickr account and went to the upload page. It was taking an eternity. I really wanted Becca to see it, though, so to make sure she did, I emailed it to her.
Turns out that I sent the email to my teacher by mistake. So I sent him an email telling him to ignore it and then forwarded the comic to Becca. I forwarded the “ignore” email to her instead. After she told me, I forwarded the comic to her and Flickr’d the comic by email.
Oh, snap. There’s no comic-volume up yet. Don’t worry; there’s one coming today. It’s just… going to be late.
This comic was drawn in pencil and then outlined with a Sharpie® ultra-fine-point marker. I’ll probably never do that again: The lines came out too wobbly. Don’t get me wrong—I love Sharpies®—but I just can’t use their marker/pen to outline my comic.
That’s right, kiddies. Closing Very Soon already has transcripts on the all-awesome ohnorobot. You can search the transcripts or browse the archives. You’ll also probably notice that there’s a link to CVS/comic’s ohnorobot page under “Stuff” on the right.
After almost seven years of having the comic in my “archives,” I can finally say it’s launched!
