Happy Friday everyone!
I recently happened across a dude that seriously makes me explode with smiles. He’s the only person I know who can make stick figures come alive while conveying funny, passionate, and sometimes jarring emotions. Please help me welcome Steven today, kick back, and enjoy the ride! Also, check out this post rife with raw truths and take a peek at this funny comic lesson. Good for you, Steven, for being REAL (well, a real stick man sometimes, anyway – lol) and for making me smile!
Thank you, Steven, for crafting this comic for Jane Be Nimble! I’m honored!
I’m saving this for the day you’re famous and I can say I knew you back in the day….
Just don’t forget us little people.

Steven is the explosive author of humanexplosion.com, a blog designed to merge the two worlds of comic humor and personal development. Since Steven cannot draw perfectly, he strongly emphasizes the importance of acceptance and appreciation in life. The author wishes to thank Lori for being an outlet for his creativity as well as his insanity. Feel free to email Steven (steven [at] humanexplosion [dot] com) and subscribe to Steven’s blog if you enjoy his weirdness.

I’m glad I can make you laugh Jay! Laughter reduces stress, and stress is related to 99% of all illnesses! (saying out facts make me seem smart!…I like it!:))
Come again to my blog and I’ll give you more cures for your stress (if you have any) lol.

Hi Lori!
Wonderful choice – very different indeed and we all need a good laugh!
Hi Steven! Fabulous example and story! A picture can say a thousand words – yours speak volumes! Thanks!
suzen´s last blog ..DO BE a DO BE
Hi Jay and Suzen -
Thanks for stopping by today. Steven’s funny, eh?
I’m glad you agree. Somehow Steven has a way of summarizing life in a few panes – it’s really quite amazing.
Hey Steven,
Thanks again for designing a comic for Jane Be Nimble! You’re a great artist – very cool!
Lori´s last blog ..Inspirational Funny – by Steven at Human Explosion
Thank you very much for reading my comic Suzen, yes I agree with you! some topics are just better presented in stick-figures…:)
And Lori!
How could I thank you more? You’ve been such a great support and friend to me and you are making me saying the word “awesome” a lot! lol
Anyways, thanks again for giving me the opportunity at your blog, and of course you are awesome

Steven´s last blog ..Your Act of Being Yourself
That’s funny, Steven.

Yeah, I guess I *do* say the word, “AWESOME” a lot. But, hey, I’m from California and that’s the official state word.
Thanks again for being my comic man!
Ha ha!! Lori this is a very cool guest post! Steven does a pretty good stick figure. Thank you for introducing us to someone new and funny and for getting our weekend off to a good start!
Tim´s last blog ..10 Things I’ve Learned From Getting Laid Off
Thanks for your comment, Tim!
Yeah, to be honest, I first saw Steven’s stick figures and thought, what??
But then it hit me how good they are and how much REALNESS can be packed into a few panes of a comic.
It also makes me realize I should spend more in the funny/humorist genre as I keep gravitating that way.
Anyhoo, sorry for the ramble…
Have a great weekend!
Lori´s last blog ..Inspirational Funny – by Steven at Human Explosion
Yes Tim I am cool
lol jk
I’d like to be cool with my stick figures and I’m glad you think that I am! lol Because sometimes drawing too many stick figures in real life might just come off as a little bit…um…weird…
Well anyways, I’m glad I made you laugh, and I look forward for making you laugh even more!

Hey, Lori! This is awesome! I hadn’t heard of Steven or the Human Explosion before today, but I’m so glad I have now. These are wonderful, Steven! And I love your emphasis on acceptance and appreciation. What a beautiful message.
I’m heading over to Human Explosion now!

Lisis´s last blog ..Why Losing Some of the Time is Necessary to Winning All of the Time
Thanks for your comment and support of Steven, Lisis. I’m sure he really appreciates it! You’re the BEST!
~xo
Hey Lisis, I give great thanks to you and I’m glad you’ve stumbled upon my source of craziness over at the Lori’s awesome domain!
And yes, acceptance and appreciation are great factors to the happiness in my life. Because how can you be happy with your life if you cannot accept the faults in it, and how can you be happy with what you have if you don’t appreciate them? That is what I believe, and I hope I can spread more of that through my comics and posts in my blog
Thank you for reading Lisis, and thank you for being the awesome Lori!

You know, it’s about time someone represented normal people in their stick men drawing. Check out the belly!

Sami – Life, Laughs & Lemmings´s last blog ..Kick Arse Question – Surviving a Crisis
Hi Sami! Thanks a bundle for visiting today and welcoming our guest comic!
And yeah, he’s normal and very REAL – both his thoughts and his stick-belly! (LOL)
Have a GREAT weekend, chicka!
~xo
Thank you Sami, yep you are right, it is about time. I’m tired of people looking like people, they just make life look too complicated!
Thanks for the comment!

Hi Lori and Steven.
This is great material. You can’t stop this guy we know as Steven. It is entertaining material, and very unique. That erasing hand is realistic.
Lori the font you have set for comments is just wonderful. I don’t think I see this font used anywhere else.
Hey Armen,
It’s great to see you here! I’ve seen you around cyberspace, and now I’m going to check out your blog.
Anyhoo, I wanted to jump in here and agree wholeheartedly with you! I think Steven really has something here – combining PD with comic relief, now that’s an idea that’s got legs! (Er, uh, well, maybe at least stick legs! LOL)
Thanks for your comment about my typeface here in the comments, too. I actually spent a LONG time searching for a solution that would allow me to do this easily (my Headway Theme) – to use this font in comments. I’m kind of a font nut actually, maybe one day I’ll do a post about that. So, that’s a long, drawn-out way to say thanks and I’m glad you like it, too! Thank you, Armen!
Have a great weekend and thanks for helping me to pump up this Steven guy. He’s got the chops!
Tee hee!! This is funny, and cute!! I’m heading to check out your blog now. Thanks!
