"Merry Christmas," said the atheist to the Sikh. hahahahaha. Me to Jasmeen. In retrospect, an ordinary thing can just sound so rediculous. Sparky

So I'm personally wondering where the fuck this webcomic is. I'm feeling rather ashamed of myself, so sorry for the huge delay. Worse news still, is I don't actually know when I'll get it up, because while I can keep drawing and creating comics, I have no fucking idea how to you know, create a site and stuff. html WHAT NOW? But for now, enjoy some silly pictures! I've been fucking around with that handwriting thing on msn alot: Josh Gibbs is a beautiful man. The best solution to current rediculous meat prices. $7.99 a kilo for beef sausages? Geddouddaeeeeere The smoker's relief: My fantasies of evil science and world domination come to life! Impersonating the Blues Brothers never gets old. Just another ordinary day in Josh's record store: RIBMAN!? Seriously, I don't know. Maybe I was drunk. That's been happening alot lately. Sometimes life is happy. And sometimes, life kicks you in the balls. More than one frame! :O I guess me and Josh are just going through a tough time right now. BAHAHAHA This is so much fun it's rediculous Merry Christmas all! Fil Lovely

This is Felix. What's at number 286, I wonder? An illegal poker ring? A brothel? A tupperware party? This is his older brother, Jackson. And this is him uh, eating cornflakes I guess. Woot. Who is this crazy looking woman?? Who the fuck is this guy!? THE SUSPENSE IS DRIVING ME INSANE

And now, ace reporter/comedian Josh Gibbs brings you the exclusive interview with the creator and destructor of Sparky’s Realm, Filip “Sparky” Lovely. Josh: Hey man. Whattup. Fil: Hey hey hey. Nuttin much. Just reclining in mah lazyboy smoking a cigar. Josh: So Fil, tell us about you and Monica Lewinsky. The public deserves to know. Fil: Ahaha. What can I say? I just couldn’t keep our relationship secret any longer. She was simply too good at blowjobs. Josh: You could've been a bit more subtle there. Maybe something like "The broad just keeps coming back. The unflushable presidential aid." But whatever. So tell me, young master Lovely. What was it that drove you over the edge? Made you finish the whole thing? Why did you end Sparky’s Realm? I freaking loved it mang. Fil: I had to end it. There were multiple reasons. One, while most of it was fictional, a lot of it was based around my life and what was going on in it. Recent cataclysmic events mean that it would have to be changed ridiculously or just scrapped. I chose to scrap it. And also, Campbell Simpson was still one of my main characters. I haven’t seen that guy for like, two years. J: *distracted, reading porn* Yeah, fuck that guy. J: Anyway, back to your comic thingy. F: Another one was the place it was on. Sitdiary was cute and all, but it’s a secluded little emo weblog society that could never have taken me anywhere. Half the time the site wasn’t even available! I believe that Sparky’s Realm could become huge, but not here. I need my own site, or at least move to a more reliable provider such as freewebs, or livejournal. I want to do it like a professional, and while on Sitdiary, I didn’t feel like one. J: Kay, that’s coo. What’s gonna happen now? F: I’m making a whole new comic from scratch. I’m aiming for the skies with this one. It’s gonna be a webcomic about life, love, sex, music, movies, and the occasional videogame. It’s about rocking out. It’s about enjoying everything you can. It’ll have something to say, but will always be ready to engage in outright craziness, classic Fil-style. J: Wow, sounds big. It’s a comedy, right? F: Hell yeah. Sparky’s Realm was a comedy, and I loved every second of writing and drawing it. Now I’m really refining my writing style and preparing to give the world my sense of humour. It’s gonna be nuts like cashew sauce. J: Is it a gaming webcomic? F: Hell no. That’s just one very small part of it. J: Has it got a rating? F: It’ll probably hit PG13+. I was gonna go for R18+, but I’m just too timid for that. I was like eighteen years old before I got laid. J: So what can we expect from the new comic? F: Japanese Anime Porn. That’s right, Hentai porn. Shitloads of hentai porn. J: Riiight. Seriously? F: Seriously, yes. But also, no. I don’t want to ruin the surprises I’ve got in store for you, but you can expect a totally new universe: new characters, new settings, new everything. I’m going to try and break away from in-jokes and my life stories (but not entirely). It will become more fictional and I think this will expand my target audience a bit, and open up more places for the comic to go. It’s not going to be connected to the old comic at all. J: What about the drawings? Have you got something else cooking up? F: My style will not change, except that every strip will be in full colour. I’ve only just begun to get up my skills on this baby! J: What’s the name of the new comic? F: That’s highly classified information, soldier! J: Awww. Well, can you tell us about some of the characters? F: It’s going to revolve around two brothers, Felix and Jackson. I can say no more. J: Is that it? What about female characters? We need some vagina, man! F: Well, as there are too many important female influences in my life to give them all their own character, I’ve decided to sort of glue them all together into one super arse-kickin’ biatch. She hasn’t got a name yet, but you can expect her to be a little bit of Gracey, a little bit of Elly, a little bit of Emi, and a whoooole lotta Blowie. J: Nice. What about the old comics? Are you going to recycle any of them? Or are they forever sealed in solid malachite? F: Hmmm… that’s a tough one. I don’t really know. I was thinking about it, because there’s some great stuff in those old comics. But the new one and the old one are two very different cartoons, and I don’t know how much I’ll be able to use from the old archives. If I can, I’ll try and salvage some of the jokes and re-use them for the new audience. But you’re most likely not going to see complete comics from the old site on my new one. J: When’s it coming out man? I want it now!!! F: Gah. I’m sorry to say, but it’s coming along slower than I thought. Photoshop pisses me off, and I want to have loads of comics pumped and ready to go for a big launch. And then there’s also creating the site itself: layouts, html code, and blardy blah blah that gives me a headache. But don’t worry, I’ll keep you faithful readers with me every step of the way. And then there’s been that untimely bout of liver disease I found out I had. Gilbert’s Disease. Nothing serious, but give it a google. Heducate yo-self. J: I think SOMEONE’S having a whinge. Now to a pressing issue- how often will the comic update!? F: Whoa whoa, slow down there horsey. That’s a bit advanced thinking at this stage. I don’t know how often I can do it. I want to do them in colour but I’m a total noob at Photoshop and it takes me ages. As I get better, obviously I’ll get faster. But I prefer quality over quantity, and I know that if I set an update schedule, I’ll always be rushing them to get them out on time. And while most people are understanding, awesome dudes, there’s bound to be one greasy little nerdfan who’ll constantly hound me and email me bullshit about missing updates. So I’ll just put them up there when I get to it. I also like sleeping. J: Get a job, ya hobo. F: Working on it, mum. J: Well I think I’ve weaselled enough juicy info out of you for today. Fil lovely, it’s been a pleasure, and good luck with the future comic! F: Thanks, mun. I’ll get back to it. You stay excited now. I know I am! And here's a fuckin' brand spankin new comic with Josh in it! For purposes unknown. (actually to promote his musical outfit, Six Thinking Hats) visit at www.myspace.com/sixthinkinghats

That's right folks, Sparky's Realm is over. :( I had a good run, I made it to comic #52! Who'd've thought I'd even last that long. I hope I've made you laugh, made you cry, made you enjoy your day a tiny bit more by coming to this site. I've enjoyed every second of drawing these comics but I feel it's time to wrap things up here. Stay tuned however, in about one month I'm launching a new project. Until then, just try and keep yourself from slitting those wrists. Adios! Fil "Sparky" Lovely

Listenin' To: For Ryan - The Tights Feeling: Down Currently Playing: Gears of what? what's that? war? WAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!!! It is that time again to remind my faithful readers, that some of you may sometimes forget what is fact and what is fiction. I can assure you that while many of my strips are based upon fact, this is 100% arse candy. Uhhh... yeah. So yeah, this did NOT happen to Campbell. You know it just occured to me that I haven't actually SEEN Campbell for almost two years. (EDIT: Coloured image posted up. Didn't look THAT shithouse after all. But hey, not bad for a first ever try with photoshop :) ) News is in dot points due to angerness. Bad news: 1. Didn't make it into tafe course. (FAAAAAAAAARK FUCK FUCK FUCKING BULLSHIT) 2. I officially ran out of money. I am now scraping up COINS for petrol money. 3. Looking for jobs is a disaster. The past few months have been entirely fruitless. 4. My sister is listening to tetch-no again and it's driving me insane 5. I tried using Photoshop to colour in this strip but after hours of work it turned out absolutely shithouse 6. And lots of minor thingys I won't go into but it's all being bitchy and annoying Good news: 1. Gracey is really awesome Life. Sparky

Listenin' To: Straight Lines - Silverchair (Because it's EVERY SECOND SONG on the radio) Feeling: Freakin' Awesome Currently Playing: GEARS OF FREAKING WAR *rawk* On saturday I journeyed through torrential storms, blistering desert, sailed across an ocean, to reach my local EB games. There, I bought Gears Of War. So fucking awesome. I mean, fuck... the assault rifle has a CHAINSAW on it. Anyway, it blew my mind, so much that it has inspired me to create my first real comic about gaming. Behold! A massive nine panels! And so concludes my first leap into game webcomic-ing. At first I wasn't so sure about drawing it, as Sparky's Realm isn't really a gaming webcomic, it's more about life, and just what life does to people. But games are a part of my life too. And Fenix Sparky was just too much fun to draw. Not too mention the copious amounts of precious red BLOOD. Went to a rained out bbbqq at Guy's house today. It was mad. We watched Dawn of the Dead, it's a pretty good movie. I mean, if you're into zombies. And you know I lurrrrrve the zombie ladies. Awww yeah. And he also had some bodgy PS2 game called "Backyard Wrestling", which I guess is pretty self-explanatory. I experienced much face-raping while playing this game. TAFE IS OVER. The audition for the next course was freaking scary. But I think I did well. I got lots of nice feedback such as "hmmm" and "next" and "you will recieve a letter in the mail". Fingers crossed. Later dudeys, Fillius P.S. GEARS OF WAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!?!?!?! How awesome? So awesome.

Listenin' To: So What - Miles Davis Feeling: stressed out then BWEEEEEEEEEE Currently Playing: Piano and Drums *dies* Love. You. Baby. Just... love. aslfk slakfja skfBUDDA BWEEEAsjf pasjdSAAAAAAANAAAAOOOOEEEEEHHHHHHHH *convulses* *dies again* Um... yeah, post another time. TOO EXCITED TO BREATHE. I was actually just recently freaking out about my audition for Cert IV Music, but now i'm just too happy to care. In fact, it actually improved my practice. I sort of know how to play the piano now :P YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Sparky P.S. *dies for a third time*

Listenin' To: Puffy Little Shoes - PUSA Feeling: Heroic Currently Playing: Halo 3 Beta Part 2! The sequel to part 1. Enjoy! Toadfish scales FTW. I got to play Halo 3 on saturday (thank you Alex) and I gotta say I was very impressed. It plays smoothly, the maps are well designed, and frying someone with a laser like so much crispy bacon is extremely satisfying. It wasn't a mind-blowing experience, but it was a great little taste of the game that's left me wanting more. TAFE ASSIGNMENT DEADLINES ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH :( orrighty *thumbs up* Sparky

Listenin' To: Tanya's Annoying Techno Feeling: deadlines Currently Playing: Command & Conquer 3 (omg) just an fyi: Rovery = Lovely :P Heh, well sortof. I haven't updated in a while for numerous reasons, main one being that my computer recently underwent the gruelling "upgrade" to Windows XP. After about a good solid week of reinstalling, tweaking, and writing death threats to microsoft my dad finally got it to work, and I gotta say it ain't bad. Then I installed C&C 3, which is freakin awesome, and as such has consumed much of my time. The halo 3 beta is the topic of much talk lately and yet again, I feel the harsh sting of not having a 360 to hold at night... I must leave or my sister's evil techno will soon give me a brain tumour Sparky

Listenin' To: Misty Mountain Hop - Led Zeppelin Feeling: Pokercrazy! Currently Playing: Halo 1 I noticed we've been going through a bit of a Gracey drought here at Sparky's Realm, so here she is again in all her ...glory? I guess. In this weeks news, my party on saturday took off! Although I missed quite a bit of the action when I was WINNING... booyah. Not trying to rub it in or anything, but Ashton (and others), your money feels great in my pocket :D *counts money spent on the party* Hmmm. Gotta go to Star City :P beware! gambling KILLS Sparkor

Listenin' To: Aisles of White - The Butterfly Effect Feeling: snooted at Currently Playing: Gears of War + Guitar Hero 2 + Dead Rising + Crackdown = BRAIN HEXPLOSION I had fun with that one. Drew it with a texta :D On monday Alex and Joe came over, Alex brought his Xbox 360. OH MAH GAWD. Want one so so so bad. If not just to bounce around and look awesome while missing all the blue and orange notes on guitar hero. Ya, a good time was had by all. I downloaded the new Butterfly Effect album and it's... different. I'd say lighter, poppier, weaker and generally not as good. But hey, worth downloading. It just makes it funnier to me because there's a poster of the band in Bridie's room, where the lead singer has scary face paint on and is going RAAAAAAAAAAAAWR at the camera. So hardcore :P Last night I had this crazy dream where I caught a train to this tropical island with Gracey and Peter Helliar. The island was stocked up with heaps and heaps of guns, so that when we built a raft to get off the island we had plenty of protection from sharks. Peter Helliar was planning a mutiny, so I put him in a metal cage and chucked him in the sea. As he sank, I saw to my distress that somehow two other people had been trapped in it, so me and some other guy, jumped into the water and pulled the cage back onto land and cracked it open. Peter Helliar had drowned (booyah) but the other two were safe and one of them was Gracey and she promised me many special treats. Then Peter Helliar (far out, why won't he DIE!?) was shooting at us from a raft out at sea and we took cover behind a box while the Master Chief took him out with a sniper rifle. Dream on, you crazy kids Fildo

Listenin' To: Rock And/Or Roll - Led Zeppelin Feeling: Mixed bag of CRAZINESS Currently Playing: Lego Star Wars! OMG Methinks my interview technique may be flawed. The other day I had a look at my resume, and I noticed it was the most boring and unreadable piece of text I'd ever laid eyes upon. However, this is true with all resumes. So I went about jazzing it up, only to discover a resume can not really be "jazzed up". Business people simply don't like it. They won't even read it. It's apparently wrong to put in there that "I like long walks on the beach with my dog and maybe sometimes also a bongo drummer". But why? It's a piece of paper that's meant to represent me, so why can't I write things in it that will represent me? Must every resume consist of exactly the same boring crap every time? The answer is yes. The way it is and the way I hate it is that when the employer (who's got to be REALLY freakin bored) has a pile of resumes on his right, they all claim that their person is "hard working, reliable and punctual, neat and tidy..." yadda yadda. When every resume is exactly the same (and they are) what the hell is their goddamn purpose? I feel like writing in there "will take crap from my boss" and perhaps even "is always up for oral sex". I'd get hired in a flash. If the world was fair. I neeeeeed moooneeeeeeeeeeeeey :( But I got looooooooooooove :) Booyah! Fildo

Listenin' To: Have The Time - The Slackers Feeling: Need to get out Currently Playing: Half-life 2 MEEEEEEEEEEEEENTAAAAAAAAAAL MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATT Tafe: The only educational institution where after class you go to the pub and your teacher comes with you. It's been a pretty awesome week, apart from my mum going schitzy on me, but hey. One out of seven ain't bad. Yesterday I finally got round to getting the tools out and fixing my bike (the gears don't change and the chain flies off when it feels like it). Mechanical babble cut short, it sort of works now. The gears feel a bit funny, but as long as the chain stays on then I'm happy to ride it. Not doing anything on wednesday? Go to Ultimo Tafe at 12pm to see the Cert III class do their thing on stage. We performed at a practice concert thingy on friday, for a class of arseholey ashfield year sevens and we did alright, so you should expect solid entertainment! See ya later funky dudes and dudettes, Fildo

Listenin' To: Teflon - Jebediah Feeling: Reunited Currently Playing: Gaylo 2 GAARAAAAAAGHHGH!!!!?111?!one1!12 So freaking annoying. Also, I've been sick lately because my mum always has the damn air conditioner on. Green thingies coming out of my mouth, missing class and falling behind, constantly taking drugs, it's the most fun i've had since christmas shopping! whinge whinge whingey Fildo.

Listenin' To: Spoil The Show - Jebediah Feeling: Sugary Sweet Currently Playing: Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee Excuse me for a moment while I have a whinge. (fairly warned be yee!) So I've been playing Oddworld right, and the total time I've been playing it has clocked at around about four hours. There's only been about twenty minutes of total cutscene movie time, but for those twenty minutes I've spent about A ZILLION fuckin hours trying to watch them. Because, as the comic suggests, everyone in a five kilometre radius of my xbox gets a psychic premonition of me approaching the cutscene and gets the loudest thing they can grab on the run (lawnmower, boombox, v8, mother etc) and gets it to my house. The most important cutscene at the start of the game? I had to watch it FOURTEEN TIMES. FOURTEEN!?!?! It's not fair :( *cries* (it's not really THAT bad bwehe) ST PADDY'S TONIGHTTTTTTTT It is estimated that Sydney's pub will serve over one million pints of Guinness tonight. Well, I certainly hope to do my bit! bweeeeeeeeee like a leprachaun Fil

Listenin' To: Map Of The Problematique - Muse Feeling: Hungry Currently Playing: Keyboard Felt like a more artistic swing. Hope you enjoyed. Today I took Roger for a walk, and it really made me wonder about something. You see, when you get out Roger's harness and leash, he goes berzerk with excitement. During the walk itself, (as I observed today) Roger chokes himself roughly 95% of the time. I'm wondering why he always gets so excited, when he knows exactly what he's in for. Maybe he likes it? BDSM doggy. Choke me baby, then I'll hump your leg like never before. I'm really tired and hungry. Toodloo Fildo

Listenin' To: Memphis Soul Stew - King Curtis Feeling: Boozy Currently Playing: Quantum Redshift Mucking around at Tafe. Freakin' awesome. Many hapologies for the blue lines. It was done in my book and with an EVIL BIRO!!! RETURN OF THE EVIL BIRO!!! This is what I do instead of paying attention in class. GET ANAL WITH JOSH HAW HAW HAW. Bet ya didn't see that one comin'. And just so Elly's head doesn't explode, yes, the second comic is a tribute to one of my favourite VGCats comics of all time. Can anyone else see that google ad? This is the one I'm talking about: Chinese girls want me? How does it KNOW that!? How!? Those google ads are fucking psychic. Sparky

Listenin' To: Knights Of Cydonia - Muse Feeling: Sticky Currently Playing: Rainbow Six: Vegas This comic, like so many others, is about life. Jules party was madcore. Thai food + alcohol + Rainbow Six. Can't go wrong! city city shitty shitty city shitty city shitty shitty city HALL HALL HALL HALL HALL Yo Fil
