Lonely Patchwork Robot
February 28th, 2009 — Gallery
Just another image from my sketchbook – a lonely, misshapen robot who seems to have triggered the city defenses in the background. It’s not in his(?) programming to have stolen it from anyone in the city, so I’ve always wondered why they are so upset. I thought this one was lost to time due to [...]
Strip News Features 2-27-9
February 27th, 2009 — Strip News
Reviews, contests, interviews, milestones and more… Applegeeks hits 500 strips. Wow. Marooned publishes Ashcan #1. You can’t blame me if you miss out on this Eyeskream contest. There are pretty open guidelines, a ton of prizes and a free year’s worth of adspace on the site. All you have to do is tell the origin [...]
Count Your Sheep
February 25th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? webcomic reviews by Delos (this is a repost) Count Your Sheep by Adrian Ramos is all about Katie, her mom Laurie and their imaginary friend Ship. It’s in what I would call a blue monchrome which has an interesting effect on you as you read it. Blues, of course, are a [...]

February 25th, 2009 — Strip News
This post will cover publishing and other business goings-on in the land of comics… It kind of looks like I shol dhave called this the doom and gloom edition … In some folks’ opinions, the state of writing in the superhero comic field is on low ebb. Still, everyone thinks it might be a good [...]
Strip News – Tips Edition 2-23-9
February 23rd, 2009 — Strip News
As promised, the Tips posts will focus on how-to discussions, videos and other tips of the comic and artistic trade. Let’s start off with a Photoshop trick for creating video scan lines. I happen to use the Gimp and I wasn’t happy with the results from their video filter. I now have a couple of [...]
The Crown Prince
February 22nd, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? The Crown Prince by JG Brin is about the adventures that having a child brings even to royal parents. The Prince will grow up over time, which is a nice change from most comics. Another notable point is that it recently passed the 200 strips mark last November. It’s full of [...]
Changes
February 21st, 2009 — News
So the sheer amount of comic news that I point you to could grow to be overwhelming as I continue to add more resources to my lists. I could easily create more than three screens of links and other points of interest every week. Truth is, though, that it must be difficult to scan read [...]
Dad
February 21st, 2009 — Gallery
This is an old drawing I did of my Dad. It’s so old that you can see it’s managed to get crumpled up, ripped and even has some food stains on it. While it looks like him even still today, understand that I drew this over twenty years ago during my angsty teen phase. This [...]

After you check out the Trugglemat, here’s [...]
Featuring Talking Guinea Pigs
February 15th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? Today’s review is on the comic curiously enititled Featuring Talking Guinea Pigs by Jeff Mumm. (Or fTGP for short.) Let me start by saying that guinea pigs are not animals I find particularly exciting, so I approached this comic with a somewhat negative bias. The story begins by introducing us to [...]
