Nut Job!



Back in the saddle with a great headline.

Figments


This is a page from the second issue of my comic book, " Figments ".
I was working with a company called Blackthorne.
It was so much fun, and I was living the dream. Just a two years out of
the Kubert school, and here I was with my OWN book.
Not drawing Batman or some other established character, but my very own!
It didn't last long amidst the herd of the black and white comic book glut of the 80's,
but it was a fun ride.
The story was about a teenager in our world, Sam, a sullen loner, who is destined to become a
powerful wizard in another dimension.
Sam is hunted by an evil giant Rat, King Gristle, and his shape-shifting henchman, Pox.
I really do like the characters,( Wee Peeps the Mole, Moosebats, Boarhounds, and a walking nuclear bomb named Archie), so maybe I'll polish the story up and put out a graphic novel.
The reason I am putting this up is because I found the black and white cover art for the first
issue on eBay for sale.
So, to whomever may buy that cover, if you pay the postage, I will autograph it for you and throw in a sketch.

Back off!

Been good all year long? Really? REEEEEAAAAALLLLY? Thought so!
That's why Santa's got a brand new bag...YOURS! That's right, you get
nothing and like it!
Maybe next year you'll shape up.
See that sock on the floor?
Pick it up.
See...that was easy. Now you're on your way.

Good Food Gone Bad #3

Number 3 in the series of Good Food Gone Bad. The title says it all. But the title also raises
questions.
I shudder to think of the answers.
Anyhow, if I remember correctly, this is the one that made the disc jockey, Bronwyn C.,
at WFMU, laugh. I have updated the character a touch.
The question remains, though...who the hell did this?

Good Food Gone Bad #2



Another Good Food Gone Bad! Rancid Bacon Man...a good-natured goof-ball, ready to help push your car out of the ditch, or help with the birthin' of a calf or some such activity, but he doesn't always remember to wipe his feet.

Oh yeah...he voted for Franken.

Good Food Gone Bad!

Going through my files, and I came upon some roughs. I remember when I drew this guy.
I was living in New Jersey at the time, listening to my favorite college station, WFMU,
and one of my favorite DJs, Bronwyn C., was talking about the Stinky Cheeseman.
She was laughing, and I started to sketch some ideas dealing with a whole cast of
characters,
"Good Food Gone Bad ".
I actually drew three of them up and sent them to Bronwyn, and she mentioned them on her show the next week.
So...here he is, Putrid Olive-Loaf Man. Left out in the sun, wearing a ratty suit, smoking a smelly cigar.
Clean yourself up, man!
