Last year’s strip for New Year; note the changes in style, the lack of mullet on Jones, etc. 2010 has been a good year for the strip. I’ve wandered around in style and story, been willing to do a few things to find the way I want to go, and have explored Jones’ character, though [...]
I’m taking this week off to 1) get ready to go back to the classroom next week; 2) spend time with my family; 3) make sure I’m as far ahead as I can be on January strips. I also thought it’d be a good time to pitch the re-launch as best I can. The overall [...]

This is some great stuff. Two brothers rip of their old man’s bike and get it restored, then give it to him on Christmas. You’ll get a good biker cry out of it.

Yeah, I am perfectly aware of how many inaccuracies there are in this one. Like the fact that this young lady, having just given birth, is now standing, a picture of fortitude. Or that she rode up to the shop in labor, or at least dillating. And I hate to go there, but her old [...]
I really enjoyed this one, and it was the first where the ink work looked good enough to run without color. Except I was submitting it to Fast Lane Biker NY for the December issue. And we’d loose the whole gag if we didn’t get the guy on the bike in red. And his bike [...]
Toy runs are hands down one of the funnest events I’ve ever been to. And it’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to go on one. I have memory of a toy run in Ukiah, CA, I think put on by the MMA (Modified Motorcycle Association). This is somewhere in the early- to [...]
