Dan Long’s Edmund Finney’s Quest to Find the Meaning of Life is definitely one webcomic series that has been constantly and consistently impressing the heck outta me lately. Dan is a hilarious writer and I’ve been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what fuels his madness. Cookie dough? Red Bull? Blue Bull?

Dan’s character, Edmund Finney, is a guy who travels the world and encounters some of the strangest, weirdest people ever plucked from one guy’s imagination. You never know who (or what) is gonna show up next to vex, aggravate, and/or fascinate poor Edmund.

Currently, I also have a character who is traveling the country, trying to keep a low profile as he contemplates his next power move. Hank’s Uncle Jack is a very odd dude. I don’t know for sure myself whether Jack is mentally-handicapped, insane, or a combination thereof.

One day, a few weeks ago, I got this stupid wonderful idea to have Edmund and Jack meet each other during their trek across the world. I contacted Dan to get his seal of approval. After an extraordinary amount of money (all in unmarked bills of various denominations) exchanged hands, he graciously granted me permission to use Edmund in an ADDANAC CITY comic.

The first strip I created with these two was so much fun, that I got a second mortgage on my brothel and asked Dan if I could do a Part Two to Edmund and Jack’s encounter. So be sure to tune in tomorrow to read the triple-sized conclusion to the Team-Up of the Century!

And if you like to laugh your butt off, you simply must go check out Dan Long’s EQ Comics, and read up on all of Edmund Finney’s wacky adventures.
