    (is my LOTR geekness showing???? LOL)

    ReplyDelete
  11. Thank you Alex.

    BdS is a dead-ringer for Gollum, and Daniel's Frodo is inspired. I'm still laughing.

    Btw, you look great in a dress.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Omg. The BEST ONE so far!!!!! I'm literally LMAO alone downstairs! HAHAHA!!

    Alex... if one day I get divorced....would you marry me? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  13. That is HILARIOUS!!! I'm still laughing with "precious"

    ReplyDelete
  14. I must concur. These are amazing and hilarious. Keep 'em coming!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Not being a LOTR geek, I had to do a bit of Wiki research. Blayne not only looks like Gollum. He IS Gollum. Review:

    "Unlike other characters, Gollum speaks in an unusual manner" Check.

    "His life was extended far beyond its natural limits by the effects of possessing the One Ring" Check. (what else would explain surviving past the first PR challenge?)

    "He also uses his own versions of words, similar to the original words" Checkalicious

    "Over the years, his eyes adapted to the dark and became 'lamp-like', shining with a sickly pale light in the dark" Check.

    "he developed a sort of split personality:the good personality "Slinker" (for his fawning, eager-to-please demeanor), and the bad personality "Stinker" (for obvious reasons)" Check.

    Well. There you have it.

  16. Oh, Alex, I'm officially in love. LOTR! Yessssss, my precioussssss, it's Daniel and Blayne as hobbits, I love it. If Joe is Boromir, are you predicting his auf'ing next week?

    ReplyDelete
  17. I just snorted. Really.

    "Precious"...that's what got me. And the wizened, sere look for BdS so works.

    Alex! in the dresses....BRILLIANT!

    Such a smart, creative man with a great sense of humor -- got any others like you at home waiting to be grabbed up?

    ReplyDelete
  18. That was brilliant. Made my day too. Love the LOTR references.

    ReplyDelete
  19. At least now I can pretend to hear "precious" instead of whatever 'licious phrase Blayne has come up with for this week...and hope and Orc comes in and carries him off.

    And I totally agree that Leann was robbed, Robbed, ROBBED! I still can't tell if she is going to burst into tears or go postal, though.

    ReplyDelete
  20. OMG! Alex!!!!!
    LOL!!
    You Rock!!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Totally hilarious. I'll be hearing it everytime I see Blayne.

    Classic!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Alex! sure knows how to work a dress! LOL

    Love the LOTR references. Sooooo...who's going to be Aragon and Arwen?!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ah, the '80's. I loved B&J back then. What teenager didn't? Not to mention Trans Ams...gold, with a T-top and Firebird emblem on the hood.

    ReplyDelete
  24. ROFL! Gollum was SPOT on. The last row was priceless too... BURN! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Love the Betty & Veronica stuff. :)

  26. i never thought i'd see the day when LOTR and Project Rungay would cross paths. GENIUS.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Blayne as Gollum/ Daniel as Frodo kills me dead forever. So much hilarity.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I would totally take the offer in the Trans-Am.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Everyone's talking about the LOTR reference but I'm loving Fenley as Veronica Lodge!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Brilliance!! I don't know which was better: Blayne as Gollum or Alex in the dresses.

    You are the best, Alex! Will you be releasing a full comic book or graphic novel of PRG Season 5?

    ReplyDelete
  33. oh how i LOVE lord of the rings

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hahaha I love Daniel and Blayne's depiction.

    MORDOR...

    ReplyDelete
  36. The last frame is the best! Poor Emily!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I TOTALLY want to get wasted on Bartles and Jaymes in the back of a Trans-Am, rocking out to RUSH.

    Wait, been there, done that. *skulks off in shame*

    ReplyDelete
  38. >>Alex... if one day I get divorced....would you marry me? ;)<<

    Poor Emily? You should read her interview Tlo posted on the second page. Talk about denial and delusional!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Gays, be sure to label Kenley Collins in the post, too. :)

    TLo

    ReplyDelete
  43. OMG, the Joe/Daniel/Blayne panel was perfect! Good job, Alex!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. And I think you should do a graphic novel retrospective of all PR seasons! I'll pre-order 5 right off the bat!

    ReplyDelete
  45. OMG, Alex! YOU have made me laugh and made my day, especially as I'm a HUGE LOTR geek!!!!!!! YEA! You rock!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Is everyone officially in love with Alex now? Keep going with the Lord of the Rings. I want to see who will be the other characters. Is it wrong that this is way better than PR itself?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yo!
    Oh, Alex. Brilliant.
    Mordor. . . precioussss!!!!!!
    I love Kenley as Veronica and I love you in the dresses. Too funny!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Just when I thought this site couldn't get any better....Wow!

    ReplyDelete
  50. ROFLMAO. now THAT is precious!

    ReplyDelete
  51. This might possibly be even better than your Christian/Chris Krazy Kat strip last season.

    Put a damn book out already, will you? Please?

    ReplyDelete
  52. alex, you're my hero.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Wow......if you scroll your screen to where cartoon Blayne/Gollum is at the top, you'll also be able to see that first screencap of Blayne/Gollum.

    Alex! really captured it in likeness.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Hysterical! Preciousliciousness beyond measure! More, Alex, MORE!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Getting drunk on Bartles and James! Oh, the memories....

    ReplyDelete
  56. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    I love that Alex is utterly straight and yet draws cartoons about PR!!

    That last line is PERFECTION.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Another great one, alex! And "Kevin" was spot-on.

    anonymous (12:39) aka suzette

    As a LOTR geek, I LOL'd at your list of Gollum's traits and qualities. I think even Blayne and Gollum would get a kick out of "checkalicious."

    ReplyDelete
  58. Shameful confession: I've never seen a LOTR movie or read any of the books. But Blayne, Daniel and Joe were still hilarious to me!

    Alex, you look like a member of Monty Python in Keith's dress! Love it!

    The talent here is awesome, thanks for sharing it with us!

    BrianB

    ReplyDelete
  59. I liked how you drew Keith, but you got his mannerisms all wrong - he's not a hip-hop guy, he's a snowboardin' dude. He doesn't say "word" and "dawg", he says "buddy" and "bro".

    In fact, in honor of Keith, I hereby nominate "buddy" as the new catch phrase of Season 5. It's no "tranny mess", but it beats "licious"!

    ReplyDelete
  60. best comic yet!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Hysterical!!!! I love it!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  62. hey Alex you have a crush on Leanne!

    ReplyDelete
  63. and that Gollum must say
    "my precioulicious!!"

    ReplyDelete
  64. WHO IS JOE?

    ReplyDelete
  65. yeah, i see keith more as a dude bro buddy.

    even if he IS from utah. kidding.

    "I'm making Daniel's bed, cause he's my buddy..."

    definitely a sweetheart. could make my bed. buddy.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Hahahahahahaha.

    Awesome, Alex!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Alex, did we know each other in the 80s or were we just living the same life in different places??? Bwahaha!

    ReplyDelete
  68. TLo + Alex + LOTR + Veronica (Go Archies!)+ Love for Geek Girls = MUCH HAPPINESS!


    This has to be one of the most accomplished, witty blog groups in existence.

    p.s. What, no 'ludes in that Trans Am glove box?????

    ReplyDelete
  69. Oh, BRILLIANT. LOTR + Archie + Project Runway = GENIUS.

    Who knew there were so many LOTR geeks watching Project Runway, precious? :D

    ReplyDelete
  70. I just spit everything that was in my mouth onto my computer screen. I am now burying my head in my hands and crying, I am laughing so hard.

    Oh my god. Now everytime I see Blayne I'm going to burst out into laughter and yell, "My preeecious!"

    ReplyDelete
  71. Bartles and James, dude! Man, does that bring back some memories.
    And the LoTR stuff -- just inspired. Keep 'em coming.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Oh, and:

    Who knew there were so many LOTR geeks watching Project Runway, precious? :D

    I KNOW! I'm as surprised as you are, Michelle. Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  73. Do you realize how well you nailed Blayne?

    ReplyDelete
  74. Hahahahahahahahaha. I love this! Thank you, guys!

    ReplyDelete
  75. "lovemesomedaniel said...

    Funniest. Toon. Ever! I'm a huge Lord of the Rings Fan!"

    Me too. I love Blayne as Gollum.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Love the point made in the final scene. Leanne was robbed this week.

    ReplyDelete
  77. LOL. Alex doing PR toons is TOTALLY a highlight EVERY season when I check the Project Rungay blog.

    ROFLMAO on that tanorexic Blayne a la Gollum. Wouldn't it be funnier if he used "Liciousssss" instead of "Preciousssss"? Just sayin;...

    And Alex is SO hopelessly crushing on Leanne. LOL on his last line. Really made my day!

    ReplyDelete
  78. I don't know what was funnier Blayne as Gollum or the Leanna love at Emily's expense! Alex you rock !

    ReplyDelete
  79. Great job, Alex! You captured the designers perfectly!
