Hello!
I have started me a series of educational and awesome comics about animals. Do you like animals and learning? Then you might like my comics.
http://mobilemeatmachines.blogspot.com/ (http://mobilemeatmachines.blogspot.com/)
I have not drawn much for ages, and am learning new stuffs and relearning old, so any feed back would be much appreciated! I am aming for at least three a week, and maybe more.
Do you know naything awesome about animals? Would you be kind enough to share your hard earned knowledge with a just and honest young seeker of the truth, so he can draw about it in a comic? Then please do.
Davy
excellent!

4. Polar bears look white, but they actually have black skin.
5. Snakes always keep their eyes open, even when they are asleep.
6. Crickets have ears on their front legs.
7. Aardvarks can hear and smell termites and ants.

Davy, you are awesome.
Giraffes are awesome.
Hooray!
Do one about how lemmings don't actually jump off cliffs, and that it was actually some dirty national geographic filmmakers who herded them over a cliff edge to their doom!
Davy, you rock.
But you know this already!
This is brilliant. MOAR PLEASE.
Very funny comic. Good stuff!! :)
Spoiler
Those Homosexual Giraffes had me laughing my ass off.
Excellant.
Do one simply entitled 'Spiders Are Jerks'
Cheers for the good word, everyone! New one up, this one's about DOGS.
Cats:
Don't 'sleep' like other animals, instead they only slow their heartrate and breathing. Their senses (apart from eyesight) are still completely active.
Study of cats' brainwaves while 'resting' like this show they have nightmares often, dreams- never.
Cats lack the gene to taste sweet flavours completely.
Cats don't interbreed (there are over 33 different breeds) so cross-bred cats are rare, unlike dogs.
Sir Isaac newton invented the cat flap (can't confirm this)
Cat's don't just purr when happy- they purr when feeling intense emotion, including pain.
No-one has ever discovered how cats purr.
Feeding your cat a purely vegetarian diet (that includes meat replacements, eg. tofu) is a short trip to the pet cemetary.
A cat 'sleeps' between 14-20 hours of each day- one of the sleepiest animals in the world- giving rise to the phrase 'catnap'.
A cat will only ever meow if it wants a human. No-one has ever heard a cat meow at any other animal.
I have more, on other animals, but I can post them later.
Davy!
Most brilliant stuff indeed!
And the facts presented in this thread are also extra cool!
You're a weird fellow, Davy.
That's not a bad thing.
I especially like the one about dogs. This is exactly what I'm always thinking when looking at one of those degenerated wolves...
Updated with a comic about pandas.
I keep drawing comics and I cannot stop!
Cows can walk down stairs, but they'd really rather not if they have a choice.
Parrots eat chicken, fried eggs, and pretty much anything you give them.
If you drop a rabbit, it can get so frightened from the fall it can die of a heartattack.
A fainting goat will faint when startled.
Dogs and Pandas!
Keep going, Davy! :D

Your drawings aren't amazing, though they get better, but I love your humor, it has something distinct. :)
I love you Davy.
Haha great!

I love you Davy.
I love you too, sweetheart.
Comic updated with TAPEWORMS!
Hahaha, please more of this stuff!
Hello sir! I thoroughly enjoy these comics and request that there be more of them. Good day!

A fun and jolly comic about preventable extinction events! Cheers again for the positive feedback, all.

1: Cats don't interbreed (there are over 33 different breeds) so cross-bred cats are rare, unlike dogs.
2: A cat will only ever meow if it wants a human. No-one has ever heard a cat meow at any other animal.
I have some trouble believing these.
1: My old cat got kittens with the neighbors persian, and both the cats I have now are weird, but regular, cross-breeds of regular household cats. I might have the wrong definition of breed, but they aren't "pure" bred cats.
2: I've seen my cat meow at the neighbor dog several times when no other human were around. I were in the second floor looking out of a window so my cat weren't aware of me being there and certainly didn't meow at me.
But excellent comics Creed! Very funny stuff. :)
The flightless Wren story must be true because Stephen Fry said it was.
[shameless request] Could you do one about jelly fish? They are the most softest creature no-one wants to pet.
EDUCATE THE MASSES!
Just a friendily wave - I am updating Mobile Meat Machines daily til the end of the year. Watch me go insane, do.
http://mobilemeatmachines.blogspot.com/
One a day. Hooray!
Cheers Davy :D
Yes!!
I am working on that thing we spoke of as well ... you know ... that thing??
;)
This is one of the best comics ever. Really it is.
Davy, I don't know if you know this, so I'm gonna say it as a secret:
Spoiler
I love your comic very much.
Final comic in daily comic marathon is DONE! Dropping down to one every other day now, or selse I may go mad.
Happy new year, all.
I think anybody that was at "that place in Poland" will truly understand this newest comic and those that weren't there will still get the message. LOVE the lack of any creatures and only the text.
Well done ... you captured "that place" perfectly without being inappropriate in the slightest.

Meat Machines are back, people. One a day for as long as I can take it, and we're kicking off with an ANIMAL GENITAL EXTRAVOGANZA. And who could want for anything more?

I will never see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in quite the same light now. Oh boy.
Back (again)!
