A Rocky New Year's Eve

Been meaning to do this gag for years…

Rounding It Up..

A few filler sketches to round out the year….

That Time Of Year…

Straight Outa Kevin and Kell

From 2004: Bill Holbrook, creator of the long-running webcomic KEVIN AND KELL (and the syndicated newspaper strips ON THE FASTRACK and SAFE HAVENS) offered fans to sumbit artwork for his K&K compliation book STRAIGHT OUTA COMPUTERS. This is the page my submission appeared on, scanned straight out of the book. (My Art is the black and white strip on the bottom of the page)

For Art's Sake: Typical Portfolio Review

For Art's Sake: Media Influence

This was drawn many years ago when outside media was just starting to have a major effect on comic-cons like San Diego. The two characters in the last panel are the VORTOXIANS from the FISSION CHICKEN comics series created by the late J.P. Morgan.

For Art's Sake: Mural Fiber

For Art's Sake: Out Shopping

Unpublished strip. And no one really uses Zip-A-Tone any more, do they?

For Art's Sake: KABOOM! Pt. 3

The third of my three strips for KABOOM! Though he didn't make many appearances during the last years of the Comics Buyers Guide strips, (A lot due to CBG going from weekly to monthly) Monet was always one of my favorite characters.

For Art's Sake: KABOOM! pt. 2

The second of my three KABOOM! strips.

For Art's Sake: KABOOM Part1

Back in 1993, I contributed (along with some other COMICS BUYERS GUIDE cartoonists) to a comics newspaper called "KABOOM!" (no relation to BOOM Studios) I decided to try my FOR ART'S SAKE characters in situations outside the norm of my COMICS BUYERS GUIDE material and drew up three two page strips, which were reformatted to fill three TABLOID-sized pages. I also tried to go for more detailed artwork (apparently my inking at the time was going thru a period of trying to combine Walt Kelly with Gilbert Shelton) KABOOM only lasted one issue, but it was a thrill seeing my strip take up three entire HUGE pages. The strip below is the first of the three. For posting purposes, this is in its original drawn two-page format.

For Art's Sake: Ecologically Correct Comics

Two old episodes of my strip FOR ART'S SAKE originally published in the COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE. The jokes aren't the only thing that qualify for composting here.

Salem News: Changing of the Guard

What more can be said? My cartoon as originally published in the 11/03/2014 SALEM NEWS.

Any Candy Left?

A couple days late, but if you're still fighting over the leftovers…An old FOR ART'S SAKE from my COMICS BUYERS GUIDE days, featuring my long -suffering editor, Maggie Thompson. (she published me for twenty years- that counts as long-suffering)

No Avoiding the Fact

Why do we even BOTHER with Turkey Day since we pretty much IGNORE it at this point?

After-Halloween Tip

Candy Corn is to Halloween what Fruitcake is to Xmas. Otherwise…

Salem News: Halloween's End

Halloween ends in Salem tonight, and besides the fireworks, the city's coffers will have a reason to celebrate, given the money from all the tourism. My cartoon as printed in the 10/31/2014 SALEM NEWS.
