Happy Halloween! I’d like to thank a couple of English teachers I work with for feeding me some ideas when I drilled them about the Odyssey. Tom and James, cheers. I keep having to extend this little epic dreamscape because I can’t remember what was going on in the story before I got into Homeric [...]
More fun in the land of the Odyssey. Remember last week when Jones got clobbered over the head while Brenda was robbing the store where he was buying a six pack? That was all about this madness, my own weird version of a Halloween story. Admittedly not very Halloweeny, but I had a lot of [...]
I don’t think I’ve had so much fun drawing a strip in a while. I think I could have gotten a way with a bit more ink in panel four, but I’m pretty happy with this one. I was reminded how important music is to my process. It gives me energy when I’m working through [...]
In the course of drawing this one I did some research on Evel Knievel, who was born in Butte, Montana. Butte has a rich mining history. Or a poor one, depending which end of the business you were in. I have some family history in Butte, but have only been there once. Sort of a [...]
There may be more mixed up outside references here than are allowed by law in a comic strip. Mostly I’ll let you sort ‘em out. But ol’ Evel Knievel can’t be casually brushed aside. This guy was the stuff of legends when I was a kid. Most Jones readers are old enough to remember. I [...]
Is paved with… A lot of experimenting here, and I’m not really sure how it went. I got to use my Faber-Castel Big Brush Artist Pen on this one. Last time I did a night scene with lights working the setting I wasn’t too happy with the results, but I think this went better. This [...]
Hiya, Bobcat here. We had a fantastic time on the Bridge run a couple weeks ago. Here is the recap of our ride. We met at Gilroy Motorcycle Center at 9am http://www.gilroymotorcyclecenter.com/ KSU at 9:30am to Hwy 101 north. It was a sunny mildly warm day, a perfect day for a ride. I was [...]
Here we are back in the cartoon present. And our hero (as a few readers called him last week) laid out on the floor unconscious. This one was fun to draw. I actually recorded video of myself drawing it that I’ll edit soon and put on YouTube. While drawing this one I listened to the BoDeans [...]
If you think about it, it’s much better to be an upright citizen than a citizen laying on the concrete face down. Young Jones and Brenda are actually doing neither, obviously, but having fun wearing citizen costumes for a few minutes. Hey, speaking of costumes, Halloween is nearly here. I did a few Halloween strips [...]
I always prefer to draw motorcycles, but guns are fun, too. While drawing this strip I listened to the Dirtbombs, a garage rock band from Detroit. I’m not sure I can accurately describe the music, but I’ll try. A strange blend that sounds like blues, punk, and soul bumped into each other like the two [...]
