Last night, I was getting ready to do a caricature gig at a wedding. It was a long one, five hours of work and a one hour break. And I had to wear a tie. Most events I can get away with cross-trainers and my Nightmare Before Christmas baseball jersey, but at a wedding, a [...]
My good friend Jesse Jackson (no, not that one) just wrote a TV review column about “My Name Is Earl”, or, if you saw it, “My Name Is Prisoner #28301-01.” It’s pretty good, and I think you should check it out here. As for me, I’ve been suffering a bit of writer’s block on Love [...]
I’m one page away from reaching the magical Halfway Point in Love and Capes #6. We’re out of flashback and Amazonia is teleporting into the bookstore. The Liberty League has teleporters, but for a bunch of reasons I made them point-to-point teleporters. So, there’s a portable teleporter pad in the back room, which Abby is [...]
As long as we’ve had one cup of weird… I went to Starbucks today, as I do most Saturdays. I usually go up there and cash whatever checks came in over the last couple of days at the next door Sky Bank now Huntington, and the grab some coffee. I got there a minute before [...]
Our Mayor, John Roskos, is currently on vacation. I’m Council President which makes me the equivalent of Will Riker without the beard and inability to stave of a Ferengi attack. I’m the second in command. Now, normally I’d crack a bunch of jokes about my secret service detail and how I wish that the Village [...]
While I was trying to upgrade the blog today, so that I’d be able to put some nifty widgets on here, maybe pimp my Amazon available stuff (like Star Trek: Sky’s the Limit) and in upgrading, managed to crash the blog hard. It’s a big issue, first of all because of the amount of work [...]
It’s another fascinating moment of superheroes having wine, featuring the best dialogue I’ve ever written. The nights working on Love and Capes are getting longer. I was up until 2:00am working on the art for the page, and then scripted and lettered it this morning. It’s a good sign that it’s the late nights are [...]
Behold! Look what arrived in ye olde mail today. It’s an advance copy of The Sky’s the Limit, the Star Trek: the Next Generation collection that includes a story by me and Bob Ingersoll. (That’s the book, that’s my Captain Kirk action figure, and that’s my big ol’hand.) It’s right there, starting on page 321. [...]
Today’s National Talk Like a Pirate Day. It’s a little less impressive when you work alone, although it does cut down on the weird looks you get. Everybody else is doing all the “Avast” and “Ye Maties”. I’m flexing my fingers and saying “Savvy?” and hoping someone says “You’re the worst cartoonist I’ve ever heard [...]
Look! Superheroes having tea! Why isn’t this book getting more recognition? I should have an Eisner, a Harvey, and a Grammy because of this brilliance. But seriously, here we go with another flashback panel. The Crusader has gone to visit Amazonia at her office tower, and then they have the aforementioned tea. This page was [...]
