May Friend

It's been awhile since I've posted anything of relevance. I was hoping to post a comic or some random illustration, but I'm too lazy and busy with regular work to accomplish that. Instead, I'm posting some illustrations I did that were published in the May issue of Friend magazine. The article is about how to prepare for a talk. As illustrated, you can see that studying the topic out in your mind and praying about it always helps. I'll try to post another illustration soon.

Not the Competitive Type

It's always a good idea to get outside every once in a while for some exercise and fresh air. A lot of people like to play games like basketball, frisbee or even soccer for their source of exercise. Many may know that I am not a huge fan of competitive sports or sports in general (mainly because I suck and lack coordination). This comic came about while talking with a friend of mine about excuses people give (myself included) when they don't want to join in and play sports and games. And yes, you will most likely be called a poor sport or a wet blanket if you don't join in. Get use to it.

Face to Facebook

Working from a computer all day long makes it easy to waste time on websites such as Facebook and YouTube. Because I frequent Facebook on occasion throughout the day, I've decided to post another comic featuring the popular social networking website (and time waster).

(Disclaimer: This comic relates to no one in particular and does not necessarily represent the views of Lance Fry. Any similarities to people in real life, either in print or in picture, are purely a coincidence. All characters featured are fictional. We also will not be held responsible for any person who becomes offended or blocked as a result of reading this comic).

Life at the Gym

People have often told me I'm slightly more observant than the average person. People have also told me that I'm weird and conceded. All of these factors played a part in developing the idea for this comic. I've had a membership at Gold's Gym now for almost a year and have subsequently entered a whole new world. For those of you who have never been to a gym, you're missing out and I don't mean on just the health benefits and the attractive people you may see. I'm referring to the overall kind of people you find at the gym. I'm not saying they're weird, rude, cool or bad just a different kind of people and all very interesting. Oh, and a tip for other single guys out there, the married ladies don't wear their wedding rings when they work out so be cautious when approaching.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

As some of you may have noticed, most of my comics are filled with solely guy characters and have very few female appearances. I suppose that is because I'm a guy and feel inadequate to be speaking on behalf of women everywhere. I apologize to all the lady fans who have felt neglected with only male characters gracing the presence of my comics lately, but that is all about to change. From here on out I'll slowly introduce female characters and give them a more vital role to play in the comics and perhaps create some female characters that actually have reoccurring roles. I think it's important to have a balance of male and female characters for lots of reasons. It is true that I have shied away from using female characters because I didn't want people to think I was poking fun of girls (which I did a lot back in college). Just keep in mind that anything the characters in my comics say can be said of either girls or boys. With that being said, please enjoy the comic.

A "What if..." for Fast Sundays

(Warning: Read the comic before reading the following text!!) This comic was made with Fast Sundays in mind, obviously. I'm not saying anyone should invent flavored envelopes, but I think it would be hilarious if someone did. Not only would you avoid getting that nasty glue breath on Fast Sundays, but you'd probably have tons of people lining up to pay their tithing just to lick the envelopes. If these envelopes existed, my favorite flavor would have to be spearmint. Yum! (Also, I've added the same technique to this comic as I did to the character illustrations I've posted previously).

Character #2: The Blacksmith

Here is now my second attempt at drawing, inking and coloring yet another fantastical character. This time around I decided to go with a much more masculine character, the good ol' blacksmith. The type you go to when your armor and weapons are in need of repair, and the person who can fix the busted horseshoe from your horse. Decked out in studded leather and medieval steal-toed boots, nothing stands in the way of this determined blacksmith especially when he has an oversized hammer in his hands.
