The Ultimate Rejection Letter
Note: I found this here
This letter had me laughing so hard!


Herbert A. Millington
Chair-Search Committee
412A Clarkson Hall, Whitson University
College Hilla, MA 34109

Dear Professor Millington,
Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me an assistant professor position in your department.

This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.

Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. THerefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor in your department this august. I look forwards to seeing you then.

Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.

Sincerely,
Chris L. Jensen


And now for the doodles...

This one has no meaning whatsoever, but I REALLY like the rollercoaster. I'm not sure what about it is so fascinating to me, because it's not particularly detailed or anything, but I still like it.

The following doodles are from a project a friend of mind is doing. He was bored, so he made names for potential teams for a major league ultimate association. He had drawn a few of the pictures and asked me to help. He has one of my best ones with him, for the "Blades", but I'll find out if I can borrow it for a day to be scanned in.

The Cleveland Hounds:The D.C. Law:The Phoenix Burn:

And last, and possibly least, the Seattle Thorns

More random stuff!

Alright, people, I've finally gotten around to posting a few more of my doodles...I haven't had much time because if AP and SAT: Subject Test studying, which kinda sucks.

This one I did after finishing my English HW, as you can probably guess from the Huck Finn notes in the middle. I'm not really sure WHAT that thing in the middle of the bottom is. I think it started as a robotic-ish helmet, but then became mummy-ish. Whatever. The guy in the bowler hat in the middle reminds me of the monopoly guy, even though they don't look the same at all.


This guy down here is from the back page of a long history assignment. I started in the top left with a bit of hte stick-battle, but then I decided to draw some simple perspective. It was pretty neat. The perspective is all heading towards that point in the middle, which I made extra big so it's easy to see.
Last, but far from least, is a page-filling doodle done in pen, which I think is the first pen doodle I've posted. I did this one during spanish, on a worksheet we didn't have assigned (it was next to the homework assignment), for those who can't recognize the language.

TOABN 25, a few random doodles

Well, long time no see, people. I haven't posted in a while because of school vacation last week. In addition, I feel that this blog is for posting the doodles; I don't want to make myself doodle for the sake of the blog. Today I've got TOABN 25, and several other pages of random doodles.

TOABN 25 reveals something that I didn't even realize was the case until I wrote this strip...the link between Nate's mask tails and his mood. It just evolved on its own as I drew the thing.

The first of these random doodle pages is the first one I've posted that's in pen, I believe. This page started with the word "YO!" at the top, and then just got out of control. One thing I really liked was the spider web near the middle of the left side.
EDIT: BTW, I know that that face with the guy and the baseball cap looks really, really stupid.This is from doodling randomly while studying (it helps me concentrate), and I couldn't help but draw a tank and make a "luftwaffle" joke. I'm sure it's been done before, but I was bored and I had a pencil, so I drew it.

This Cold War thing is from the top of some notes on the Cold War, as a title. I'm not sure if it really counts as a doodle, but I liked it, because it got across the effect of the letters being made of snow (as I intended).
This one is actually pretty small in real life, just about three inches tall.
The first cartoon on this page was, as I wrote on it, inspired by a real quote from my biology teacher, Mr. Snow. The Spanchese one was inspired by a friend saying to me in Spanish class that, due to his recent trip to China, he keeps mixing up Spanish and Chinese (he takes both languages).

This one is my favorite of the bunch, because of the cartoon on the lower half. The picture on the top was the start of drawing some sort of futuristic helmet.

Oh Yeah! (a doodle)

I started "Oh Yeah!" with the head of the jumping guy. The shape of it, and to some extent, the hair, was definitely because I was thinking of Penny Arcade at the time, but after that it went on to my own style. The only other influence of Penny Arcade was probably the focus on videogames...
As for the eyeball, it doesn't have to do with anything. I had drawn that before starting the "Oh Yeah!" comic, since I love drawing eyes.

TOABN 21, Some Not-Too-Fear-Inspiring Warcries

Here's number 21, kicking off the week with a nice bit of combat!
Followed by a severe anticlimax mixed with...cutting-in-halfing!!!

And now for a doodle I did friday, titled "Some Not-Too-Fear-Inspiring Warcries."

Biology Doodle, TOABN 20

This is based on something my teacher said in Bio today. My teacher was talking about how some scientists get very heated about opposition to their hypotheses...and this was the result. Below it, on the same page, is TOABN 20!

TOABN 19

Not much to report today...here's the strip. Note the neat looking "19" to the left

TOABN 17, History class doodle

Hey people! Weekend was pretty hectic, and Friday saw us with some serious snow (unfortunately not early enough to cancel school). Anyways, I know you don't give a damn about that, so here's the comic:
I wonder what the scene that the Janitor found looks like...I never actually drew it. After all, I imagine it could be pretty awful, and I don't care to draw REALISTIC violence (funny-ish cartoon violence is one thing, but drawing that's just sick)

Here's a new one. As you can see, Nate and Danny are on the top. Danny looks a bit unusual though; that's because I'm thinking of giving him a scimitar, possibly and olde-style pistol, and one earring, instead of or in addition to his axe. Instead of might be nice, as it gives him a big range of weapons! There are other gems in the doodle if you look!

3 random doodles and TOABN 10

I thought some of these came out pretty neat. The other two random doodles are from English class. The second one has a few nice comics on it. One has the guy tripping off the globe, and the other about poor internet grammar/spelling.
And now for TOABN:

Now, today I'm posting an unusually large number of doodles, since I finally got the scanner. I hope to post an image every day or (when I can't) every other day. PLEASE leave comments!!!


Here's the Tales of a Bored Ninja Logo:

And the first strip:
Now for the StickFight intro page (this will help my earlier "guide" make sense):
And the first page (as I add more, I will connect them together). Keep in mind that the future ones will have better "art" quality, from both practice and just the natural evolution of my "talent":

And now for some random doodles:

Check out the guy in the middle of this one. You can just tell that he's a complete jerk. The feelings that the face gives (basically: dude, that guy's a jerk!) are exactly what I was going for. Also, the weird thing that looks sortof like a horse's face or something from this angle (the two steeply slanted eyes in the middle, below the jerk's head) are from me trying to use the same eye in two doodles! One face is oriented normally, and the other on its side.

Now for a Calvin and Hobbes tribute (with the original Tales of a Bored Ninja in the middle):

And finally, a dinosaur that I made in English class, since dinosaurs are pretty awesome:
