Initially created as an exercise in discipline and to improve artwork, Fodi has grown into a story that the real Matt and Steve have come to love and exists as a means to entertain you and occasionally make you laugh.
Fodi is at it's core a story about two guys, Matt and Steve, and a mysterious winged woman, Lara, whom are somehow a part of some grand, behind-the-scenes plot. Matt is the oddball, and possibly some sort of secret genius. Steve is kinda bitter and possibly powerfully dangerous. He's got horrible luck with women. Matt accidentally brought Lara to life; she's a soldier of Justice and is a bit wet behind the ears in regards to how the world works. While they feel like they live a completely bizarre and ordinary life, things just keep happening to them. They are fairly oblivious to all of this and mostly just go with the flow.
Fodi is broken up into individual series that each tell a small snippet of the story, and occasionally break into wild tangents when necessary (and sometimes when unnecessary).

is an ongoing tale about the adventures of two friends who own the Bald Ninja Brewery. They've done a lot on their path to success, including fighting through demons and zombie hordes, and befriending a winged woman whom Matt accidentally created. They hope to go on living a normal life, but if the past has anything to say, their future will be anything but normal.
This whole project originally started back in July of 2003 when I decided to make a webcomic. This was largely done as an exercise in discipline and also to help me improve my art. And I have to say that I've improved greatly, but that I have a ways to go before I am truly happy with my art. At the time of writing, however, I feel I'm up to snuff enough to try to promote this little endeavor.
The writing is done jointly by Steve and me, and we've got a decent start arc planned. I'm very excited about where this story was going. Since a fair bit of things in the comic depend on the backstory, I highly recommend you go through the Fodi Classic archives when you've got some time. The quality is not so great in many spots, but it'll help flesh out the characters a bit more. In time, we hope this comic will be able to easily stand on its own.
Fodi is updated every weekday, with voting incentives offered roughly every week or two.
