Rebellion Recruitment

Armies need soldiers.  Preferably soldiers that can do more than spit paper at the enemy.
I’m not really sure where this storyline is going, but it’s probably going to end in some kind of fiery explosion.  With strippers.  And ham.
You like ham?  I don’t really care for the stuff.  But I love bacon and pork.  What’s [...]

Dear Pepperidge Farm-

I want to talk about your bag.
Oh, you know what I’m talking about here.  You knew this talk was coming.  I want to talk about the damn bag.

Yeah, man, that goddamn bag.  The bag that houses my delicious Goldfish crackers.  I have been a loyal Goldfish fanatic since I was a small child, since before [...]

The Rebellion Begins

Boo-ya!  Today is part 1 of a week-long story line following my ragtag group of robots.  It’s not as much a “story” as a series of one-shot comics.  The next few weeks will see some real storylines come together for other characters, though.
Not much else to say this morning.  My brain is totally fried in [...]

Mana Akua Entry: Sam’s Landscape Experiment

I don’t do landscapes.  I’ve drawn trees before, and I’ve done a sunset here and there, but when it comes to drawing terrain (you know… the Earth) I’m pretty inexperienced.  To draw plants and dirt and rocks, that takes a certain amount of loose artistic whimsy.  It’s a whole new ballpark from the simple exactness [...]

Support Group Blues

I always wonder about people who wear Hitler-mustaches.  Are they aware of what’s etched on their faces?  And if so, do they share some kind of secret shame, that maybe the only facial hair they can grow makes them resemble the fuhrer?  The kind of shame that warrants support groups?
This is a legitimate thing that [...]

Robot Love – Footnote

Hey!  How you doing?
I love the robot in today’s cartoon.  I love him so much, it gave me an idea.  I’m going to do a series for the next month of strips devoted to Meaningless created characters.  Each week will profile a different character.  There may be a story involved.  There may not.
Next week will [...]

Robot Love

Some day, the robots will take over.  Until that day, we had better be nice to them, otherwise…
I actually have the first half of a season for an animated show about robots trying to take over the world, and failing at it.  The two robots who show up in panel two are based on some [...]

THE GREAT WHALE

Man, I remember my days of worshipping a giant beached whale.  They were good times.  Mostly.
I realized the problem with yesterday’s panel from Mana Akua, namely that the rule of thumb with drawing still-action is to draw the action a moment after it’s taken place.  So, the punch should have already connected, with Kahi’s arm [...]

Mana Akua Entry: Sam Draws a Panel!

I was going to sit on this a bit longer (to build anticipation for it), but, hell, I have no idea how much free time I’ll have at work today, so I’m posting it now.
It’s been a while since I updated any kind of info on Mana Akua, my comic book project I’ve been working [...]

Jacob Metius never had a comic before.

I’m pretty sure by now that it’s clear I don’t do pop-culture humor in my strips.  The closest I come is pop-culture humor circa the 17th century.
Somewhere, in his grave, Jacob Metius is feeling pretty good about himself right now, seeing how hundreds of years after he destroyed all his telescope equipment on the eve [...]
