BLAST FROM THE PAST: Wednesday, July 17, 2013

Fourth World

I used a brush pen in my attempt to approximate a 'Jack Kirby' drawing in this strip; It worked much better than I expected, but it's still a shoddy impersonation of the King's style.

Christmas went very well this year, and I don't know if I've ever before received as many thoughtful gifts as I did this time around. It was pretty awesome, and I can't wait for next year, but mostly because my daughter will be almost 2 years old, and able to get really excited for all things Christmas. This year, she enjoyed the boxes and wrapping paper just as much as the toys (I would've posted some pics chewing on ribbons and bows, but my computer tower is screwed up, and can't read my camera's SD card).

All that being said, I did miss spending time with my Mom, stepdad, and siblings, but at least we were able to visit them at Thanksgiving this year. Still, it wasn't hard to enjoy myself with the In-laws, being as they're all kind, generous people, with good senses of humor.

Anyways, Merry Christmas, or whatever, and Happy New Years, peeps!

Alpha-Nerd-Tizing

I told Shannon that I was embarrassed to be such a nerd, but the truth of the matter is that I was much more embarrassed by some of the terrible comics I own; I still have a huge amount of early 90's comics throughout my longboxes.

Meanwhile, I can't really afford to buy very many new comics nowadays, but the public libraries have a LOT of trades and graphic novels. I've read 5 or 6 "Usagi Yojimbo" collections in the past 2 or so weeks, so I thought I'd draw a sketchcard of the samurai rabbit.

Hi-Tech America

HAHAHA! Our problems are laughable in comparison to life in a 3rd world country!

Pregology

I can't wait to do a strip for "the bloody show".

Anytime

We're getting down to the wire... it's really, really close now!

The Big News!

I drew this comic on July 17, when we first found out that Shannon was pregnant, and had to wait until now to post it. Man, that was a crazy day!

For the record, I really do like public transit, especially 'cause I like 'people-watching'... that, and I'm deathly afraid of driving.

Bad News Rising

Here's another one of those 'on-the-go', sketchy comics, drawn while in the theater Thursday night. Y'know, I bought this sketchbook so I could do strips while I was out on the town or whatnot, but I don't use it that often because I generally don't go anywhere besides work.
