TPG 1 and TPG2 are for sale on DriveThruComics (you need an account to see my stuff there: to save myself future headache, I marked all my comix as “17+” although I would read the heck out of my comics at the age of 14) and are coming soon to ComiXology. Here are some preview pages for you (and the good folks at Short Run and other potential Comics Shows)

Way, way back in 1994, my cohort Sam Battin and I put together our very first comicbook. It was a foldover xerox affair, a minicomic or zine-sized B&W called:
SPIDERS IN THE OINTMENT
No idea which of us came up with that title or why. In my philosophy, absurd things need no justification other than that they make one smile, snigger, of guffaw in wonder. I’m guessing that when we we’re 23 and high on life, this probably did.
So, Sam did one comic, I did one, and we collaborated on the third with him as writer and me as drawer. The one that I did was called Bible Stories That Don’t Suck, and I have scanned in a few panels, cleaned them up a bit, and present some to you here. I won’t put up the whole thing for the sake of our individual mystiques, to shroud our past in a savory effluvium of curiosity, figuratively. Maybe someday, somewhere, someone will dig that thing up and present it at our 50th anniversary retrospective art show, if the world lasts that long.
The reason I’m doing this is because I found much better content on the same story from the Bible, on youtube. A motion comic, I guess. It’s really enjoyable, and totally NOT SAFE FOR WORK. I feel like I shouldn’t have to warn you as I think you’re safest assuming all my work is NSFW because fuckity fucking fuck-a-duck, you dicks. 🙂

Comics I like: Boulet
So my buddy D passed this on to me. I dig. A lot.

And he likes Karen Gillian enough to make her margin art. Who doesn’t? Men and women alike: she’s a cutiepie. Although she was a bit annoying when often pining for a snog with the Doctor. Poor Rory. Sure, nice guys finish in the end, but he’ll always be wondering if she’s thinking of Theta Sigma while knocking keks with him. She was terrible, however, in Guardians of the Galaxy. I did not enjoy that highly overrated movie – not after the whole “Walkman fantasy” bit, which was brilliant. Straight out of my Sophomore fantasies. But the rest was so generic. And CGI characters just don’t work with real actors. Not yet. Maybe if Rocky Raccoon was continually obscured by lens flare, or smoke, or explosion debris. But mainly, I think the film just was too unoriginal.
So I need to make a page specifically for comics I dig.
