My last post was a lie. I wrote a short book for young readers! You can read it, but you’ll have to pay for it!

New comic part 2 of 2…

30years later…a comeback!

#comics #memories #rewritenarrative

Comic panel: chubby nerd wearing glasses stands middle of panel; inserting a comic book into a plastic sleeve. Looks blank-faced out of panel toward viewer. A large question mark and exclamation point hover above his head.

Chubby nerd head (angry/yelling) and pointing finger float mid-panel. Action lines radiate outward. Spiky balloon text reads: I DON’T HAVE TO SUCK YOUR DICK TO EARN MY PAYCHECK!
Caption at bottom panel reads: This is a true story! Only the ending has been changed to make myself feel better.

A new comic. L’esprit de l’escalier!

Man sometimes I really miss ‘baggin’nboardin’.

Comic panel. Extreme foreground: a shelf with a cd player. In mid and far background are desks and cupboards full of comic books. A word ballon has musical notes and reads: Lightning Crashes (on repeat).

Comic panel. Foreground is chubby nerd wearing glasses putting comics into a protective sleeve. Background is a comic store with only two customers. One customer has a thought bubble with skulls and lightning bolts in it. From left to write is a wavy text that reads: Lightning crashes and old mother dies. Musical notes surround the text.

Comic panel. Large, spiky word ballon takes up half the panel. It reads: ISN’T THREE TIMES ENOUGH! The ballon points to a faceless and shadowy man holding a comic book.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul to borrow from Jesus to beg God…
This is the financial death spiral I’m in.
(Plus I’m an atheist so none of this helps me keep ahead of the bills.)

Random panels from the sketchbook. When it’s a choice between keeping the lights on and the family fed, art supplies come dead last. They are absolutely a part of the ‘class war’. One of many reasons why I won’t ever use computerized tools to make things. Also why I will probably never be published.

I think this would be a great song to sing at ICE facility protests. I’m not brave enough to cosplay this but maybe someone is?
(All apologies to Mr. Brooks but I had to do this much at least.)

I am literally falling apart from this constant teeter-totter between giving up and keeping it going. Today part of a wisdom tooth fell out. Now I have a mouth full of blood.

A scribble-headed person walking from left to right in an empty panel. Words float above and below. “Where did I come from? Where am I going?”

Some old sticker concepts…
Really liked this lil’ demon.

Maybe giving people the legal authority to kill others isn’t such a cool idea?

Are people laying bets on which ICE facility this will happen at? Seems like we’re getting close…

A timely reminder (since we all hate corpo-work now) that I’m a small-time cartooner that could use some money. There isn’t much right now, but there would me more if I could afford to do it.

It is difficult to not get incite-full. And I would hate to be accused of anything…but I remember reading about something like this in Thomas Paine’s book.
