INTRO
Welcome to the world of Erik the Juiceman, a place where we can peer in and look at the lives of these people I made up. If you're new and confused, here's the place to be!
What IS Erik the Juiceman?
Erik the Juiceman is a cartoon by me, John Perazza. It's a manic depressive mix of comedy, action, romance, and drama. Most of the time it's funny, but every now and then, shit gets serious.
I add new comic strips usually every week. Sometimes every other week or every other month, depending on how busy I am in the real world.
The Comic Strips
Since early 2001, I have been writing tons of comic strips. They are, in a way, the "backbone" of Juiceman, because they are released more frequently than animations and bring you more story quicker.
But, John, there's like a billion strips on this site...
HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO CATCH UP?
I get this a lot from people who have *just* discovered this cartoon. There's a lot of IMPORTANT EVENTS that have happened in ths comic strips so far, and you definitely do not want to miss out. The only way to catch up is to read the comics, because I don't really think summaries would do the story justice.
If you don't feel like sitting in front of your computer clicking around, you can also BUY COLLECTIONS OF THE COMICS! I made the prices as cheap as possible, the quality super duper high, and they're PACKED with extras.
What the hell is with the first few seasons of comic strips?!
Ah. So sorry. In its early days, Erik the Juiceman was CRAP. Simple as that. There are very few "important events" in the first few seasons, so if you want to skip to Season 4 I really wouldn't be offended.
Season 1 in particular is rather troublesome. I'd compare it to watching a birth. It's pretty ugly. I make numerous blatant RIPOFFS of Dragonball Z, and there's a huge part of that season that's just scribble. My sincerest apologies.
The Animations
Erik the Juiceman come to life, in motion. I have been animating Juiceman almost as long as I've been drawing it in comic form. As of now, most of the animations take place at random parts in the Juiceman timeline, and for the most part it could be anywhere and it doesn't matter. Just enjoy and laugh.
The Mike Saga
This is the introduction of Mike, a story that takes place ONLY in animated form. It was animated on and off over the course of about 4 years. That explains the rising of quality from episode to episode. You should definitely watch this. It is a great introduction to the first 6 main characters, and especially Mike.
Other Juiceman Cartoons
I've done a couple Christmas specials and a slew of other random cartoons. Again, these stories are just made to be fun and entertaining, so they could take place at any point in the main "timeline."
John, when's the next animated cartoon coming out?
I'm not known for being a frequent updater when it comes to animated cartoons. Instead of rambling on about why, I'll just let you assume I'm a lazy bastard.
