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.  🙂

Lovin’
