She said I could, so I did. It doesn’t matter that it was a dream or that I agreed to do a Twilight week someday. Oh wait…
If only all superheroes had brothers, and they formed a gang! “The BlackSheeps”. Eh?
Is there anything worse than having aliens judge our movie collection?
You never know unless you try right?
What Graham doesn’t know is that I sleep with my iPad. Or does he know?
I had a girl once, true story. We looked at my movie shelf for what seemed like forever. We ended up falling asleep 3 minutes into Shrek. That’s all I got.
They just come back as the undead, get it?
Did he ever randomly show up to teach you a lesson? Me neither.
They don’t even let me go on to the site.
I love the Devil. Not the actual Devil, but this guy. He’s a hoot.
He loves his dogs, isn’t that sweet.
Needless to say, this happened in my kitchen.
Oh George, he can never do wrong.
Ever think you would see someone trying to start a wave at a movie? You’re welcome, and I’m sorry for those who were in attendance.
This is what happens when you are up late and eating junk food. You have weird dreams, very weird dreams.
You all know it’s going to happen and it’s going to be a CGI mess of Dinosaur’s.
I’m not saying I’m like Dave, but could you imagine being out of the loop for a few months and coming back to this? Head explodes.
No messing around folks, I have a lot of comics to catch up on…or else! (call someone)
Good evening…here’s the scary conclusion! Happy Halloween! See you all next year!
Good evening…here’s a spooky tale for you! Happy Halloween!
Lesson learned: Robots are bad.
One could say there was some really good stuff on TV that day, have you seen Homeland? Come on!
She’s a good kid. Just don’t let her drive. Seriously.
It’s not odd that I’m referencing a City of Films Show moment from last year is it? Episode 6 series 1 people.
We kid because we love. Meh.
The other night I had a dream. In the dream I was writing and drawing a new City Strip comic (I lead an exciting life obviously). I remembered it when I woke up in the morning and it somehow made sense to me in my half asleep state. So here, for the first time in City Strip history, comes a comic I wrote and drew while unconscious…sorry.
No one puts Squid in the corner.
It should happen like this right?
So many teeth were lost that day.
A week ago, as you all hopefully know, the Mars rover Curiosity touched down on the red planet. Getting to watch it live along with many others that night was a wonderful experience. Landing a rover on Mars has been done before but to me and many others…it’s absolutely amazing. Human beings built a robot which was launched from Earth, traveled through space for eight months, and landed on another planet. I don’t know how anyone could turn their nose up at that. People argue about the cost, that the money would be better spent dealing with issues here on Earth, but to deny exploration is to deny ourselves. Humans have always been explorers. For hundreds of years we sailed on the oceans to lands unknown and now we’re flying through space to entirely different worlds. A whole new generation is going to get to learn from the experiments and discoveries Curiosity makes for years to come. I truly believe that events such as these can help bring people together. Sure there are some of us who are jerks but…if we can do this and get people excited about it…we have hope.
Did I ever tell you it was my dream to some day be a suit in a room making these kind of decision? True story. Dream big kids.
Well if nerds can do it from their basements, Batman can do it from his cave. There, I said it.
Remember Robin? He’s back! In pog form. OK not really, but that would be something wouldn’t it?
Look at that sexy chest hair. OK I need to draw more girls, this is getting ridiculous.
Those little scamps! You just want to take them home and keep them as pets don’t you? Wait no, that’s wrong.
The man’s got a mortgage, you can’t fault him for competitive prices.
This kid sucks. Get it? See what I did? Vampire.
You know it’s what would happen, except the would film it and show it on a FOX special.
Lucky guy only has to work one day of the year, at least he uses a coaster.
I don’t want to say that I posed nude once, but I might have gone to one of these classes. I got an eye full.
I just know he tries this everywhere he goes.
Next time you ask your mom or dad where babies comes from…don’t.
Note From Kevin: I’ll be back.
Well here we are everyone. The City Strip #100. We’re ready for syndication! It seems like just yesterday that Graham and Ryan contacted me about putting together a comic. They said “Kevin ya wanker, get off yer arse and draw us sum pictures!” Thus The City Strip was born.
In all seriousness, it’s been an incredible ride and I have both Graham and Ryan to thank for giving me the opportunity (and excuse) to draw every week. Also, a huge thank you to each and every one of you who’ve taken the time to read these silly comics over the past one hundred strips. Just knowing that any one of them have made someone laugh…well, that’s one of the best feelings in the world.
So thank you again and here’s to the next hundred! Now get outta my office!
Here is the first in what I hope can be many classic comics featuring young Marty & Dave. Those kids were always up to something, you could only shake your fist at them.
I hope you watched the first season, and have started watching the second season (last night). It will do wonders for your reference education.
Have you ever seen a movie that took place on Mars and didn’t suck? Seriously, let me know.
Some people never learn. Having said that, if anyone notices a video store being resurrected in their neighborhood, let me know. There’s inevitably going to be a huge sale.
You have seen it happen, and it’s just as disappointing as the first 55 minutes of these entertainment shows. Trailers at the end of the show…no need. You can’t rip that and post it on your movie blog!
I’ve decided to delve deep into my subconscious and conjure up another fantastic tale of misfortune from the “film school” Graham and I attended. Now it will take another four years and hundreds of dollars in therapy (the cat lady next door is cheap) to forget this one again.
That’s right, I laugh at silly fart jokes. Don’t judge me, you all do it! Hehe…”it”. This is why I’m Graham’s #2 guy. Hehe…”#2″.
Are we saying anything with that that you didn’t already know? Little Nicky, that’s all I’m saying.
Have you ever written a letter to a celebrity? A little bird told me that the City of Film’s own Graham once wrote a letter to Nicholson himself. Poor guy never actually got a reply, but I do wonder what he asked of Jack…something as silly as Dave I hope.
They sing because they’re asking us to open the door…or wall in this case. Listen up people!
This would be so more effective for kids today don’t you think? The most I got was a police officer coming to our school to tell us to say in school, but really…we all just wanted to see his gun and pepper spray. Where was I going with this? Oh yes, stay in school and that.
You might think twice before going off on that annoying, never stopping news feed on your wall right? I won’t, I got a life jacket.
Alone in a room with these guys? No thanks. This poor guy must have some workers comp. coming his way.
I hope you all had a great holiday, I sure did. I am back and full of gusto, I missed The City Strip. Let’s start the New Year off right with a Dave strip. He so silly.
Kevin Fraser? More like Kevin Was-here. Yeah, we went there.
The alternate title for this was going to be City Strip LXXXIV: So Very Tired. Thanks for being here every Monday! See you all in 2012.
We sometimes like to make up terms that should be used; now we have Moviegoer Gap. It speaks for itself, and by that I mean if you read the comic it will speak. Also, I suspect that since I haven’t seen Statler and Waldorf in any TV spots or trailers, they will make an appearance at the end of The Muppets this Friday perhaps? *Spoilers! It’s funny*.
I kid because I love. The guys put me up to it I swear! OK, but for real, he has to give it a rest already. We get it, you made Star Wars.
After Halloween I asked Graham how he spent his night, he went on to describe this exact moment. I still don’t know if he was serious or not, but I laughed. That’s what’s important.
#80 – The City Strip Halloween Halloween Special 2011 Part II

This is some dark stuff. I may need to seek help after this. Then again, it’s Halloween…so all is forgiven right? Thought so.
#79 – The City Strip Halloween Halloween Special 2011 Part I

That’s right. Don’t get scared now.
That’s right, it’s all mine…muwhahaha!
Ten Apps that we all must follow!
People are too into their movies these days don’t you think?
Even if it’s the smallest scratch in the world, you see it. Everyday. Forever.
No one told me he was afraid of yellow and GREEN! Ha! Right? Like money. Cause it’s…yeah. Think about it.
So this happened. Film School has a lot of characters, some just have to be shared with all of you. So look forward to many more.
The special Blu-ray comes out this week, so this is timely. Now they just need to change it so Kane shoots first and we will all be happy.
I don’t think we need to keep harping on the man, he must know by now right? I’m sure his friends and family go on the Internet and see how many people hate him. I wonder if he cares…or when he gets down does he just do a Scrooge McDuck dive into his money pile?
Ha! It’s funny because Batman is getting eaten by a shark. Wait, not that’s horrible, what have I done!?
A lot of people will have expected a “69″ jokes I suspect. Well that’s immature, so as you can see, we took the higher road.
So when video stores are gone…any ideas? CD stores? Yeah that’s all going digital soon enough. I sound like an old person with too much time on their hands now don’t I?
I like to go onto IMDB and leave comments on the Citizen Kane board and tell all the fans that Humphrey Bogart was just awful in the movie. Amiright? Internets!
When I combine my collection with someone, I will make sure there is a different shelf and I label them. That way guest won’t think all of the movies are mine, can’t take that chance. What if my roommate owns Donnie Darko or something?
Do you think they have high 3D ticket prices too? What about an awful MPAA rating system? Subtitles? Oh so many questions.
If you have seen the movie, you felt the magic…so if Hollywood has anything to do with it, that feeling will go away when you stop paying for it. Movies!
I don’t want to say that I have a thing for Sarah Michelle Gellar, but if you are reading this SMG…I have a thing for you.
Now this would be 3D I would easily get behind. I would gladly pay an extra $3 to be battered and bruised whilst watching a movie. I often feel that way after a Michael Bay movie anyways – hey-o-o-o-o !
As ridiculous as the new Footloose looks, you know what else is ridiculous? The original footloose. Let’s dance!
For all of those people who thought Dave was a filthy man…you were right! This is his first shower in 60 comics. Dreamers have no time to wash I think, this isn’t the last of his aspirations.
It can’t be just me and my friends can it? Why do people text and talk and even take calls during a movie? What a waste. What an annoyance. I’m angry all over again, time to punch a pillow.
I can’t imagine ever camping out for a movie days or weeks in advance like so many people do. It would have to be a once in a lifetime engagement, if I miss it I will never have another chance again situation…or Howard the Duck 2, whatever happens first.
Yeah I don’t have much faith in what people tell for the most part. I need to read it a few times from different sources and even that may not be good enough. In this case, I would want Christopher Nolan at my front door telling me the news. Some websites can’t be trusted…except City of Films of course. Love you boss.
Alternate title: Everybody was Kung Fu drinking! Too easy? Yeah.
Fonzie eat your heart out!
You’ve heard of the the girlfriend experience, I give you the boyfriend experience. It’s just as sexual.
If only I could put Sprach Zarathustra into words. Enjoy everyone! It’s been a year already, 52 comics…wow. Let’s get to 365 so we can make an off-the-wall calendar.
True story, happened to a friend of a friend of mine. OK it was me…no shame. Jay Sherman we love you.
Randy once said, “It’s the millennium, motives are incidental.” Oh how right he was. Three sequels later and we’re guessing again who the killer will be. Valid reason? Doubtful. Fun times? As always. Thank you for continuing to support The City of Films and The City Strip, here’s to 50 more!
It’s my Birthday today. What a timely comic! I wish someone would make me a Wolverine cake winky wink wink…Mom?
An obscure reference from an obscure reference…you’re welcome. I was going to title this one “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”, but that’s would just be too long.
I was speaking to Graham the other day; we both want this movie to be good that we can agree on. What we can’t agree on is where they will pick up the story from. Will they show us the whole childhood-teen years again for half the film and bring us to his adulthood angst for the final act? Perhaps they will play the Social Network card and go back and forth. Ah, balls who knows?!
Brother if you’re reading this, you’re nothing to me now. You’re not a brother, you’re not a friend. I don’t want to know you or what you do. I don’t want to see you at the hotels, I don’t want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won’t be there. You understand? Ha! Movies.
It’s like they started looking in their kids closets for ideas.
Can’t sleep clowns will eat me.
He’s gonna get some.
Hollywood may be the greenest place on earth, they recycle like mad!
That’s Rickydiculous.
Nothing, if it’s January.
What’s a rating system good for anyway?
The boy who lived wants to live on forever. Can you blame him?
Please, play with your toys. It’s what they are good for.
Watch out Keanu, another emo is on the prowl.
Get with the times Kent!

Dave-Man does whatever a Dave can do.
This lesson brought to you by life.
If my calculations are correct, Billy is an idiot.
Doesn’t anyone have dinner anymore?
More like badtime story, right?
What’s in a name really?
It’s such a sadness that you think you’ve seen a film on your fu*king telephone. Get real. – David Lynch
If we could talk to the animals, just imagine it. What a neat achievement that would be.
People in glass houses shouldn’t watch bad movies.
You just don’t joke about something like that.
So ends Marty getting shit on, first the customer and now the manager. All he needs now is a two timing girlfriend. Hang in there buddy.
After 25 years of Back to the Future, we should all stop to give thanks.
No one knows what Marty has got himself into after fighting with a customer. His old and new boss Gene might have a few things to say.
Graham and Kevin met at film school 5 years ago. This scary moment started it all.
Lesson learned? Love hurts.
Taking it outside, this may not end well for Marty.
This is my theater, I have to defend it!
Robert Endowed Jr…goodnight folks! I’m outta here!
Iron Eyes Cody would be proud, he did the PSA in the 70′s and we bring it back where it’s needed most today, right?
All ideas come from somewhere…good or bad. The first ever (to our knowledge) M. Night Shyamalan/Futurama crossover.
What’s this 3D thing people are talking about?
The end of the video store, is this happening in your neighborhood? Everywhere I look around here video stores are disappearing fast. As an ex video store clerk, I find a sadness with that.
Robin served as the voice of Batty Koda in FernGully; a film that Avatar gets a lot of comparison to. Either way, hairiest forest creature ever!
Have you ever have to get down on all fours at a video store to find that perfect awful movie?
Our first comic! You would agree I think, the customer is sometimes just plain wrong.
