I suck :(

Yeah, wow. It's been a while, eh?
I'm really sorry about that... I mean, I started seeing someone a while ago and I've been spending all my free time with them...
Their name is Netflix, and I think this one's for real, guys...
(Shigeru hit me for that one, apparently he didn't think it was funny. )
I can't really post comics right now because I use Shigeru's drawing tablet, and if you read his blog, you'll know that it crapped out not long ago.

The snow here is crazy! There's so much of it!! There are some piles that are, like, two Shigerus tall! (He's only, like, 5'6 {167 cm}, and that might even be a stretch. Literally!)

But, in all seriousness, as soon as there is a functioning tablet between the two of us, I will post a new comic!
I'll go to Timmies and get, like, seven coffees to motivate myself to do an awesome post!
And then I'll keep Shigeru up all night watching scary movies, whether he wants to or not. (He says not.)

Sorry about this...

So, like, um I've been away for a while, and I'm sorry about that... My college courses have gotten pretty heavy lately so I haven't had much free time for drawing, but I'm just gonna do a little info on Maple Man.
He's just an average mild mannered hockey fanatic (aren't all Canadians?) who one day decided to use his Canadian Powers (we all have them, but only a select few can use them to the degree Maple Man can) to help defend Canada from wrongdoers and super villains like Mister 'Murica, whose goal is to take over Canada and Mexico in order to create Super 'Murica.
Maple Man has two sidekicks, The Majestic Maple Moose, his partner in crime fighting (Special attack; The Piney Antlers Of Justice) and The Socially Responsible Beaver, who stays home to clean the house and do the taxes while Maple Man is cavorting about saving Canada.
By day, Maple Man (Micheal Tremblay) is the manager a Tim Horton's and volunteer at the local hockey rink.
That's all for now, people ;)

Hiya, guys!

So I decided to do a post before I go to bed :) I installed a translator on my blog so you can change it to whatever language you want! (I am also going to help Shigeru do the same thing, because other than using his tablet, he is basically computer illiterate.)
One thing I did notice about the translator is that, in French, when I write my name at the end, it translates it to "Elliot Un Erikson". I don't think it realized that the "A" stands for Ashton, lol. ANYWAY, I'll be getting the second part of the last comic I posted up soon.
Fun Fact you may have noticed from aforementioned last comic, I can't draw hands or hats! It's really hard....
So I feel like this post is just me being bored, but whatever. Feel free to contact me via email (elliotthatguyerikson@gmail.com) or through Shigeru's Tumblr (shigeruhoriuchi.tumblr.com) I don't have Tumblr, so I just use his :)
So yeah, I'd love to talk to you guys about stuff. Stuff like CANADA!! :D
BY THE WAY, MY BIRTHDAY WAS TWO DAYS AGO!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!! I AM NOW 22 YEARS OLD!!

Well, I'd better go, Shigeru fell asleep in the couch watching Doctor Who again, I can hear him snoring xD I should probably get him to bed, he worries that he'll catch a cold if he sleeps on the couch but never makes an effort to go to his bed when he's tired.

Good night, everyone!
Bonne nuit, tout le monde!

Uh, here comes a villain?

So I finally did another comic. About time, I've been pretty lazy/busy. I've managed not to get sick, even though Shigeru caught a nasty bug. He was pretty much (kinda still is) useless all week, but he's getting over it. So in this comic, I introduce the main villain of the series! A friend of mine helped me come up with the idea for this character, and this isn't the full comic I had planned on doing, I shortened it because it was waaaay long originally, like 12 panels and I didn't feel like doing it all.... Like I said, lazy. But anyway, without further ado, here is the second official Maple Man comic!

So yeah, there you go!

Finally, something relevant.

So I finally did a Maple Man comic! Sorry it took so long, I had to go buy a comic book drawing program thing and I had no idea where to get one so I had to wait for Shigeru to wake up. All he does on his days off is sleep, or Skype-chat with his friends in Japan. And whichever one he's doing, he'll get mad if I interrupt him, haha. But enough of that, here is the very first Maple Man comic!! (Be excited.) (It's okay to cry.) (So beautiful)
Ta-Ta for now!

Wow, I'm Reaaallly Lazy!

Okay, so I don't have a comic for you today, but I totally did an awesome drawing of Santa on Shigeru's Manga Studio program! He says it more looks like someone's Great Aunt in a furry nightdress, but what does he know about Santa, eh? I'm gonna try and have the first Maple Man comic thingy posted sometime this week, so hopefully it gets done. Merry Christmas (Joyeux Noël) <-- because ALL Canadians speak French, haha. Or happy whatever you celebrate and yeah, hope to see you all soon :)

{Bon, alors je n'ai pas une bande dessinée pour vous aujourd'hui, mais je l'ai fait tout à fait un dessin génial de Santa sur Manga Studio programme de Shigeru! Il dit qu'il ressemble plus grand-tante de quelqu'un dans une chemise de nuit à poil, mais que sait-il à propos de Santa, hein? Je vais essayer d'avoir le premier truc comique Maple Man posté le courant de cette semaine, alors j'espère que ce sera fait. Joyeux Noël, Ou heureux que vous célébrez et oui, j'espère tous vous voir bientôt :) }

I Don't Know What To Put Here.....

So, Shigeru was working the graveyard shift so I told him that I could handle the drawing of my blog tonight because he seriously needed sleep. I'm actually thinking of just giving him a break and doing all the art myself, I mean I can draw so why make him busier? Although I'll probably still get him to do some big cool colour spreads and title page type things, y'know? Anyway, I decided to draw a colour picture of Maple Man himself! I'll draw The Magestic Maple Moose and Socially Responsible Beaver later after Shigeru teaches me how to draw a moose and beaver, haha.

I totally "borrowed" Shigeru's tablet stuff for this one, but he doesn't really have to know, does he?
So, guys, drop me an email sometime, eh? My address is elliotthatguyerikson@gmail.com. Just let me know how I'm doing so far, or request something you want to see. Or you can request through Shigeru's Tumblr (shigeruhoriuchi) because I don't have Tumblr, I just use Shigeru's because it's, like, all cat pictures....
Well, goodnight and talk to you guys later :)
