Here’s the comic. Stressed out right now due to debating whether to move apartments or not and the usual artistic worries. Not much to say. Wanting to start a new graphic novel for some reason. Idea’s been in development hell for about five years, but the pieces are falling into place. It involves halloween and bricks and nudity and that “Speaker’s Corner” show that used to be on CityTV. Likely completion date: Summer 2014. Mark those calendars.
insanily yours,

Nudity is always good. Perhaps combined with the Speaker’s Corner concept. “Too Hot for Speaker’s Corner” or something.
Does an idea being in “development hell” count if it involves just one person?

Funny that this comic came at this time, because last night my refrigerator was mysteriously filled with rounds of brie. Have I skipped back in time to the holidays? Did someone go to Costco? I don’t know.
All I know is that I need to find a luxury sedan to throw it at.
January 18, 2009 at 7:45 pm
say cheese!
January 18, 2009 at 7:45 pm
oh
oh man
giant freaking slab of brie
with car parts on the side
I don’t think I can resist…
I think this is the goofiest comic you’ve done so far.
January 18, 2009 at 7:48 pm
BAM! Take that everyone who says that Subnormality has too many words!
January 18, 2009 at 8:09 pm
The brie in the Sedan panel looks disturbingly like semen.
Just sayin’.

Today’s strip reminds me of a essay Frank Zappa once wrote. Its URL is:

Huhauhauahu very funny!!
January 18, 2009 at 8:59 pm
I am very much anti-cheese, and this has honestly caused actual fights with people because they are very pro cheese.
Pretty much, I don’t want to see cheese unless it’s on pizza. Damn cheese lovers. It seems like I’m not the only one who is a little disturbed by the ungodly amount of cheese people put on things.
January 18, 2009 at 9:18 pm
I find liquid cheese to be rather icky. Anywhere it is(other than on starchy food) it gets sticky and gross. Solid cheese, however, is awesome, no matter where it is (other than in a diet pepsi). It solves hunger, decorates tastefully, adds flavor, baits mice, and makes a decent bludgeon.
January 18, 2009 at 9:54 pm
I can’t thank you enough for this injection of surrealism into my day.
January 18, 2009 at 9:59 pm
I don’t understand why I enjoy this particular strip so much, but thank you so much for it. Made my day entirely.
January 18, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Perfect rendition of Christian Slater.
January 18, 2009 at 11:05 pm
Michael Ezra: Oh, it counts. It only takes one person, sadly…
January 18, 2009 at 11:20 pm
For some reason I cracked up at this.
January 18, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Try reading the whole comic first without reading the strip’s and each panel’s title. It won’t make sense.
Why cheese is attacking these poor people? What is its source? Is it a monster hidden in that fast food place? What’s the white stuff on this car? Why is it attacking a mall?! DISNEYLAND?!?! WASHINGTON! Is this weird machine is the source of the horrible cheese invasion? Wait a minute, maybe I should read the title?
Oh.
January 19, 2009 at 12:32 am
I laughed, mostly at the mall. For some reason I can never get enough of things like malls full of signs like “200,000 years of evolution led to this”
January 19, 2009 at 1:57 am
What a cheesy comic. (Sorry, someone had to say it.)
January 19, 2009 at 2:39 am
In what fast food joint is there a dining room cover? It’s been a while since I actually went inside a place, maybe I’m behind the times.
January 19, 2009 at 3:03 am
Hey, this one made me hungry.
January 19, 2009 at 4:15 am
I was going to say something, but Tomora beat me to it… Still, it was gouda for a laugh…
January 19, 2009 at 5:29 am
Greatest comic I think I’ve ever seen.
The more I scrolled down the better it got!
January 19, 2009 at 7:46 am
hey, great work – keep it up!
January 19, 2009 at 10:00 am
god, I want some cheese fries now.
January 19, 2009 at 12:06 pm
cheesus christ, that was funny… :p
January 19, 2009 at 3:05 pm
I DEMAND A WALL OF TEXT!
January 19, 2009 at 3:24 pm
hhhhhmmmmmmmmmm
I can understand Mickey being lethally smothered in cheese… but why Donald? Poor guy.
Still, wonderfully surreal, W.
Ten cheesy thumbs up!
January 19, 2009 at 4:55 pm
I was once gifted with a small wheel of gouda, hand-carried by a friend from the Netherlands.
It smell exactly like feet, but tasted like heaven.
Go figure.
January 19, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Seconded, to Tim.
Also, what do you call that? Cheeseaggedon? Cheepocolypse? The long term effects of Y2K? El Cheesino? The Day The Earth Stood Still (with Cheese)?

January 19, 2009 at 6:29 pm
incredible response xD
January 19, 2009 at 7:21 pm
A former acquaintance used to remark that Stilton Cheese smelled like little girl’s panties. This is one of the many reasons that this person is a former acquaintance rather than a current friend.
January 19, 2009 at 7:47 pm
i am eating a grilled cheese sandwich right now!
i can’t wait for the cheese-a-gedon!
January 19, 2009 at 8:12 pm
This reminded me of “cloudy with a chance of meatballs”. what a great book.
January 19, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Oh God, I need melted cheese so bad right now. CHEEEEESEEEE!
January 20, 2009 at 1:10 am
a brilliant mind x)
January 20, 2009 at 2:12 am
Is it just me or is there a yellow submarine in Disney Land? I didn’t know you were the kind to make Beatles references!
Or maybe it’s the magic schoolbus in submarine form (for any of you that remember that kids show)!
January 20, 2009 at 4:26 am
If your saviour is Cheesus, maybe this is a redention of the rapture…
The mall panel especially was hilrious. ^_^
January 20, 2009 at 8:40 am
Haha, CityTV. They still have speakers corner here in downtown Victoria, and they have the show on “A Channel”. What province are you from?
January 20, 2009 at 11:32 am
That’s pretty much what I see every time I walk into a mall. Well, I usually imagine zombies running around chewing on the dazed consumers or mole people coming up from the floors to enslave them instead of cheese…
Great stuff as usual!
January 21, 2009 at 12:16 am
i want that t-shirt that reads, “I Like Shit.” that’s funny.
January 21, 2009 at 2:23 am
Ah, I always prepare myself for some heavy reading when I go to subnormality! This week I was let down…
January 21, 2009 at 8:16 pm
I hope you have a personal injury policy on that strip.
I think I broke something laughing so hard.
January 21, 2009 at 11:45 pm
Scariest. Comic. Ever.
January 22, 2009 at 12:46 am
This comic is completely crazy! There is no way a huge herbivore like a mammoth could exist in that blasted wasteland of the last panel!! Mammoths would need hundreds of pounds of vegetation a day to keep going!
January 22, 2009 at 3:04 am
¡This cheese is burning me!
(This is an inside joke. Don’t worry if you don’t get it.)
January 22, 2009 at 5:41 am
Erikglenn: There’s a watermelon stand just out of frame.
January 22, 2009 at 12:43 pm
I suppose it would be fun until the cheese hardens. Poor fast food manager, it’s like real life all his employees hate him.
January 22, 2009 at 6:04 pm
You know what would be better with cheese?
Candy.
January 23, 2009 at 5:58 am
Nice one especially the manager, keep up the good work.
January 23, 2009 at 7:04 am
I’m argentinian and lived in the US for about a year some years ago and couldn’t believe how mouch cheesee there was evrywere.
Nice comic!!
January 23, 2009 at 10:19 am
Methinks someone had a cheese-related nightmare recently?
January 24, 2009 at 3:18 am
Are you Canadian wr?
January 24, 2009 at 5:48 am
Personally, I can’t stand cheese.
January 25, 2009 at 1:28 am
Why don’t you make an RSS feed?
January 25, 2009 at 1:54 am
@JoJo: You mean like the one behind the big honking “RSS” icon just below the strips?
January 25, 2009 at 2:18 am
Hi: I am as Canadian as…uh…what’s the Canadian equivalent of apple pie?
JoJo: Your question is predicated on a false assumption.
January 26, 2009 at 7:05 am
I love the man being crushed by a car-sized block of what looks like swiss in the shoe store.
January 26, 2009 at 5:01 pm
I like how the cellphone is all cool with the cheese being everywhere.
January 29, 2009 at 2:35 am
Ah man, I really needed that laugh… Cheese please! XD
January 30, 2009 at 1:22 am
i dont get it.
January 31, 2009 at 5:36 am
LOL VERY FUNNY
January 31, 2009 at 7:24 pm
it’s a bit cheesy !
February 1, 2009 at 4:01 am
Lol wow… this is kinda like awesome…
My friends and I have a sort of code…
In said “code” cheese is sex.
hehe…
February 3, 2009 at 8:48 pm
mmmm cheese.
February 6, 2009 at 8:48 am
Ooh this one was published on my birthday! Does that make me better with cheese? hahahahahahahahahahaha!
February 11, 2009 at 5:13 am
Funniest. Cartoon. Ever.
February 18, 2009 at 3:17 am
So many times I have pondered the origin of fossilized cheese as well the mysterious gooey stuff that exits the tailpipe of the Mercedes in front me. Now, not only do I know the truth, the two are linked to a larger more bizarre phenomenon that scares me witless!!!
July 21, 2009 at 11:32 pm
lol i like how it randomly just became out of hand.
April 24, 2010 at 10:10 pm
I can just see Ben Gunn from Treasure Island thinking that he died and went to heaven…
CHEESE!!!
April 24, 2010 at 10:12 pm
damn typo up there…
July 9, 2010 at 10:43 am
It’s all wonderful. All of it. But with this one you are really spoiling us.
June 28, 2011 at 9:05 am
i have never had a diet pepsi … or any diet style drink for that matter…but i love melted cheese and would might possibly consider trying them if there were such a drink combination
December 9, 2011 at 8:37 am
As a firm advocate of cheese, I now love you.
Forever.
