Those that know me well, especially from my high school days, know that I was a gun nut and worked at American Outdoor Sports Supply. Which was better known as the “gun shop” in Livermore.
All sorts of weird shit happens at a gun shop. Which may be why in some ways it prepared me for working in porn.
Well, I’m not the only one that appreciates gun humor, and more specifically, gun shop humor. James Grant and Mel Hynes have created Failure to Fire, a very funny comic about gun shops.
Failure to Fire features the center of right Mick, who is just simply trying to make it through the day without shooting some of his weird customers (or his boss) and hoping he might actually get laid some day.
Here’s some of his adventures…

Notice the “No Talking About Ron Paul” sign in the background. Not that Grant and Hynes have anything against Ron. It’s just apparently Ron Paul rants come up a lot in gun shops.
Scroll down to check out the comments section. Sometimes Grant will include gun related youtube videos or have further humor and stories to share.
Apparently, it’s no secret that Grant and Hynes are gun nuts. Their older work, FLEM Comics covers quite a bit of that ground. But these two creators are much more well known for their funny cat comic, Two Lumps, as seen on places like Icanhascheezeburger.
That’s quite a change, and one hell of a lot of work to do, but I really dig it. Great work James and Mel!
