Page-a-Day
Monday, January 29th, 2007I don’t usually post the fourth panel of a sequence, as it usually is the punchline for the gag, but I’m making an exception here. Why? Because the punchline makes absolutely no sense without the panels before. It’s also a silent panel, which I try to do every now and again, too. They’re keep variety [...]
"No!" Or, as the Germans say, "Nine!"
Sunday, January 28th, 2007I’m posting two panels today. One is the representative panel from the just-finished page nine. Mark’s mocking expression, by the way, is hands-down the hardest expression I’ve had to capture in a comic. And, it reinforces why I don’t let people watch me draw. Staring into the mirror above my drafting table, making that look, [...]
Goodbye Darlings!
Saturday, January 27th, 2007I finished the actual lettering on my last issue of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark for Claypool Comics today. I still have to paste it up, whenever the boards roll in, and I’ll still be doing Deadbeats. But it’s a bit of a milestone. Elvira was the regular project that, as much as anything else, [...]

There are full color (pictures), limited color, two [...]

Monday, January 22nd, 2007Falling Down
Sunday, January 21st, 2007Another one down… another one down… another one bites the dust. I just finished page six of Love and Capes #4. I think the narrative is starting to come together. I’m trying to make sure that characters are introduced and explained since, being part of Free Comic Book Day, it’s going to be a lot [...]
So What Were the First Eleven?
Friday, January 19th, 2007I’ve been watching the excellent series Slings and Arrows, produced by our neighbors to the north (Canada, for those of you in the public school system), I’m on season two, unfortunately also the last season, and it’s pretty good. If anything, it suffers from being not-as-good as the first season. Anyway, I’ve mentioned it before, [...]
