We’ve been told that the next couple of weeks worth of comics from Bored and Evil are being drawn by guest artist Richard Kirsch. Rich is planning on continuing the art style established by Bored and Evil cartoonist Robert Koch and adding a few characters of his own creation.

Bored and Evil is a web comic that follows the day to day antics of several movie monsters living with the often oblivious human geek Joe. Richard Kirsch is the cartoonist behind the newly established sci-fi web comic title Neltark and Willie. Good luck Rich!

If the interview we did this week on the podcast with Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade wasn’t enough for you then you can check out cable channel G4 Tech TV.
