As Fark.com said, "..she's accused of weighing as much as a duck."

Friday Freak #8


Going through my old files, and I found my collection of cartoons I had published in Dragon magazine before they were bought by Wizards of the Coast.
Yes, there was a time when I played D&D, ( but I wasn't a kook like some people. We actually had a bunch of guys kicked out of the Kubert school for playing. It seemed that they stopped going to class, and just hung out in the student housing, rolling them 20 sided dice).
Anyhoo, from time to time I will post the cartoons, some accepted, some rejected,(with the yay or nay notes attached).
This cartoon makes me nostalgic. I look at it and think about the sheets of Zippatone , in varying shades and patterns, I had in my studio, the boxes of fresh X-acto blades used to cut the zip, the Bristol pads.....
Ah, kids today don't know how easy they have it.
Now you scan, erase lines. re-draw with a click of the mouse.
Back in the day, if you made a goof,you reached for the white-out. If that didn't do it, or you had to zip in that area, you either made a patch,(re-draw the area, cut out the bad spot, rubber cement in the good, and then hope that white-out would hide the edge).
Most times it was just easier to re-draw the whole schmear!

Terror Tree of the Piney woods

Whew! Just finished up a session of creating Flash movies, and realized that I hadn't posted anything.
This is a creature from a graphic novel I've written.
Someday I'll get it done, but in the meantime I keep doodling the characters and creatures.

A Little Pen and Ink


Just foolin' around with some pen and ink before the house wakes up. This is a re-imagined T-Rex.

Man lived with corpse for years

Hooray! Britain comes back swingin' with a kooky headline!
Speaking of come backs, my computer is back and better than ever. The guys at Atlanta Computer Solutions did me a real solid.
Anyhoo, back to the story.

Friday Freak # 7


Talk about a Friday Freak. Yesterday, like a dope, I clicked on a program that my Bellsouth Security Suite cautioned me about, and immediately had my brand new spanking computer seized by spyware.
So, the project I am working on for Compass Learning lost a day, but the guys at Atlanta Computer Solutions are taking care of my blunder.
This wizard was inspired by a Gahan Wilson character.
