Here is Düdü Blaq & Dirty Earl’s little-known but classic 1986 short comic, “Express.” The translation may not be perfect, but I think it should suffice. I passed it on to the author/illustrator team themselves via email, and their response was a gracious one. It was actually on their recommendation that I flipped the panels to the Western left to right format, Accept this domestic premiere as one with their explicit approval, and enjoy the story!

Recommended for a mature audience.

I think all I’m going to do from now on is forecast future projects and updates without ever really following through. Then again, I did eventually post more Slamm Dunk as promised (after months).

Coming up soon is a translation of the 1986 Düdü Blaq/Dirty Earl short story “Express.” There’s been a lot of demand for their more well-known grotesque tales like “It’s My Body, It’s My Choice” or “Destiny Fuck,” but those are greater undertakings and they’ll have to wait. Besides, they have a pretty huge catalogue of comics that haven’t had any exposure in the US, and that’s not even including their near-endless collection of Tales of Big Man Face strips.

I’ve had enough of messing around with the look of this site, and I finally settled on something today. Pretty sexy, right?

You can also officially reach this page through http://www.josephluster.com now. Finally, The World’s Most Important Website had harnessed The World’s Most Powerful URL. See also: search feature. Was this an in-demand feature, or what? Yeah (I’m retarded. I forgot that the blogger nav bar previously on top had a search on it).

Let me know if it tickles your balls, or if you want it to be pink again, you fruitcakes.

Well, we tried to upload the rough cut of Big Man Face: The Movie onto YouTube, but since it exceeds the ten minute mark by about six, I don’t think they accepted it. Who knows when it’s going to get the full studio treatment, so we’ll probably put this cut on Myspace (a small, underground site) sometime soon to get Face Fever flowing again.

In the meantime, I’ll be doing scanlations of some of Düdü Blaq & Dirty Earl’s original 4-panel BMF gag strips. My knowledge of Japanese isn’t very proficient, but most of the words they used were “ugh,” “doody,” and other stuff like that.

Also, let me know if there’s any interest in reading their first work, Doo-Doo Bears Don’t Ask Twice (literal English translation), though I may need some help with that one.
