Starting with this strip, I’ve decided to keep commentary to a minimum on the main page of my site. If you want to see this strip with commentary, CLICK HERE.

This is one of the very first strip ideas I came up with, and one of my personal favorites. The idea comes from an episode of the cartoon where Cobra Commander’s grand scheme was to burn his face on the moon with a giant laser. I saw it as a kid and never forgot it. It just seemed so stupid. I watched the episode recently, and certain characters within the show agreed with me. Destro (who makes his first appearance in my strip) scolded Cobra Commander for wasting millions of dollars on what he called, “cosmic graffiti.” When it’s worded like that, it kind of seems awesome…
Anyway, this strip has taken me the longest to do by far. Since I kinda suck at Photoshop, I decided to take a tutorial on how to draw a moon. Enjoy!

This is by far the most ‘insider’ of my strips. Instead of making fun of some aspect of the cartoon, it makes fun of the fans (always a classy move!). If you don’t get it, congratulations! You are not obsessive enough about GI Joe to troll forums. If you want to know what this strip is about, click HERE.

This is one of those rare Half the Battle strips that imitates an actual scene from the Sunbow cartoon. The episode was called Nightmare Assault and it is one of my favorites. In it, Dr. Mindbender creates a devise that gives all of the Joes nightmares, leaving them tired, nervous wrecks. The only Joe that is unaffected is Low Light. Why? Because he already doesn’t sleep, due to insomnia. And why does he have insomnia? Because he is afraid of having nightmares… Eventually, Low Light enters everyone’s dreams, facing his and everyone else’s fears, and shoots a bunch of giant rat cars in the face while screaming maniacally stuff like, “I’m not afraid anymore, Dad! What do you think of your son now?!? BWA HA HA HA!”
Anyway, there was a scene in the episode where Lifeline and Lady Jaye were talking about the nightmares they were having. Lady Jaye reveals, in a way that got past the censors of a kids show, that she had to sing the National Anthem at a baseball game naked. (Lady Jaye and states of undress seemed to be a theme of the series that I may hit on later…) Anyway, the scene was actually really funny, possibly more so than the strip below. But what this strip has that the actual scene doesn’t is a diss on baseball. I can think of fewer things worse than having to watch a game…

Half the Battle #7 — Lifeline’s Nightmare. It turns out Lifeline being a weenie that has no place in the military was just a simple misunderstanding…

I always wondered why, in the old GI Joe cartoon, Duke always seemed to get captured so much. This strip may explain it…

Half the Battle #5 is hot off the presses. Fair warning: This is the dirtiest comic of the bunch (though maybe not quite NSFW), so viewer discretion is advised…
