Comic Con PS

PS: I forgot to mention two things.
#1: I saw The Mighty Boosh perform live at the Con.  They were pretty good, if a bit brief and also, honestly, a lot of their stuff loses weight when it’s not on screen.  Which is odd, seeing how they started as a stage show.
Also, I want to highlight [...]

I have survived Comic-Con and all I got was this stinking comic

Hey all!
Sorry I didn’t go through with my promise to front-load a week’s worth of comics.  I ended up way, way more busy getting DropKick stuff prepared for Comic-Con.  Speaking of Comic-Con, you should read the five things I learned there.
This was my first trip to San Diego, let alone Comic-Con, and let me tell [...]

Musketeers Assemble!

I love doing Three Musketeers comics, but I do seriously believe that these guys have reached a point with me where they are only limited by the comic-strip medium.  I have ideas for vast and sweeping short stories that involve character development and risque comic shenanigans too complicated to fit into a three or four [...]

Late Comics

Sorry I’ve been absent from the site for the last two days. I’ve been mad-busy working on the site re-design along with a bunch of other side projects, so I haven’t had the time. I’m actually going to make it up to you this weekend by filling in the rest of the week [...]

Next Week, My Social Life Dies

Almost one year ago, I started Meaningless comics.  We’re not quite to that date yet (it’ll be about a week), but I’m already planning some celebratory happenings.  I’m being lazy about it though.  I need to fix that.
Anyway, about 10 months ago, I started this blog, intending it to have almost nothing to do with [...]

Phase 2

Now that Phase 2 is complete, the world is next.
Please draw your attention to the following-

This is a very real movie.
Why don’t I work on movies like this?  Want more proof of its awesomeness?  TRAILER!

Crow and Scarecrow

Today I felt like drawing something like a comic strip, for once.  You know, unlike my usual random, non-formulaic drawings, this actually has a formula and other conventions of typical comics.  I just felt like trying it out.
It has a very standard formula, too.  It works as follows:
A= Left Character (the Scarecrow), B= Right Character [...]

Major Tom to Ground Control…

… “HELP“.
I forgot to plug yesterday’s comic, which has become one of my favorite’s as of late.  It’s mostly because of its design.  I think it’s just pleasing to look at.
I’ve been bad about keeping up the blog lately.  Things have been pretty busy in my life lately, so I’ve been mentally exhausted too much [...]

Introducing THE EXPERIMENTAL MAN

So, Mana Akua isn’t the only “comic book” I’ve been working on.  My good friend and ex-roommate Andy Robinson and I created something called The Experimental Man, something a little more traditional to the super hero side of comics than Mana Akua.
I’ve been keeping a secret, but Robinson decided to put a sketch up on [...]

Sam Rants: How My Childhood Missed-Out on “Opus”

As a child, I read the Sunday comics page of The Birmingham News religiously.  At the time, The Far Side was still going (on its death-bed, but still going) as was Calvin & Hobbes and Peanuts, three of the biggest inspirations on my own comics (and my life).  With every visit to the book store, [...]
