User talk:Joe Dunn

Joe Dunn is a a cartoonist whose work can be found at Digitalpimponline.com. Working primarily with web comics Joe currently works on 5 different strips updating on at least a weekly schedule. Those strips include Free Lunch, Matriculated, Joe Loves Crappy Movies, and the Coffee Achievers.

Free Lunch chronicles the adventures of Fred the food critic as he and his friends get into food related mayhem. This strip began in May of 2003 and has been running on a weekly schedule since then. As boring as a food comic may sound Dunn puts the character in fantasy situations allowing the jokes to get more abstract. For instance Fred has been in the Matrix, he fights Santa Clause every year, and he spent the summer of 2004 battling zombies. Free Lunch is written and illustrated by Joe Dunn and is currently updating every Sunday.

Matriculated is a comic about 5 friends in college. Written by Dunn's life long friend and partner at Digital Pimp, Phillip Chan, Matriculated is the most serious of the Digital Pimp strips. It takes a closer look at life, friendship, and relationships working mostly in larger story arcs. Yet it still offers up jokes with the stories. Matriculated also began in May of 2003 when digital Pimp first launched. Matriculated by Phillip Chan and Joe Dunn updates every Wednesday.

Joe Loves Crappy Movies is a review comic. Dunn will go to the movies, create a comic making fun of the movie, and follow it with a detailed review of the movie. These reviews feature standards like 1 out of 10 rating, DVD worthiness, reviews of trailers attached to the movie, as well as recommendations of other films if you enjoyed the movie. Every strip is self contained so that you need not read the archives to understand the most recent strip. Joe himself and his friends do appear in the strip often setting up the jokes. Joe Loves Crappy Movies written and Illustrated by Joe Dunn is updated on a floating schedule. Pretty much any time Joe sees a movie, but it does average at least 2 updates a week.

The Coffee Achievers is the brainchild of Mitch Clem. It's an alternate reality spin off of Clem's other project Nothing Nice To Say. It tells the story of a group of friends that work and hang out in coffee shop. A series of mysterious events puts an enemy in charge of the shop and throws their lives into a tail spin. Achievers is the most serious of the projects Dunn works on as it deals with love, infidelity, and the dark arts!

Clem had been drawing the strip himself but suddenly stopped in the spring of 2005. Clem contact Dunn to redraw the first 3 chapters and take the artistic duties full time in his place. Dunn accepted and they began to build a buffer. In August of 2005 the strip was updated with Dunn's art, and they began updating the comic every week day. You can find the full archives of the Coffee Achievers at www.CoffeeAchievers.net where it updates every weekday Monday through Friday.

Joe Dunn lives and works in New York city where he lives with his beautiful girlfriend, one pretty nice looking cat, and one ugly cat. He is a graduate of the Parsons school of design at the New School.
