Even though in my career as an illustrator I have drawn everything from real estate flyers to the cover of SCREW magazine, within the rarefied world of comics publishing I am considered an esoteric weirdo simply because I have never drawn a superhero. Well, today’s strip should change all that…» view comic
Our friend Susan Prior brought this one over yesterday.
The writer Bart King was nice enough to include a link to me on his site, so I naturally recommend his many fine books, including the most recent, The Pocket Guide To Mischief.
Those of you planning to welcome Trick-or-Treaters should check out Bart’s appearance on the local morning show AM Northwest. His suggestions can make the whole experience so much more evil. Click on the picture labeled “Halloween Pranks.”
This one doesn’t have that much to do with the story, which is about dressing your pet up for Halloween, but the chance to draw Obama putting lipstick on a pig was too good to pass up. Published in the New York Observer.
The first comic in my new Anapest series, “Apple Festival” is a single panel comic that’s guaranteed to rhyme.
I drew this story back in June. I was experimentally trying to do the 24 hour comic thing on a smaller scale, turning out a page an hour for six hours. In the end I fell short, winding up with five pages for six hour’s work. Most likely it was the extra time l spent writing all the rhymed dialogue that tripped me up. Nevertheless, l had so much fun doing this one that it inspired my new all-rhyming series Anapest. See the entire comic at Top Shelf.
