Sacred Mushrooms

Not really a whole lot to say about this one. Probably one of the ones I've received the most positive feedback about. I guess the idea of innocent woodland creatures tripping balls seemed comic-worthy at the time.

Flies Friend

This is another one of my favorites. It's similar to Pumpkinhead Jones in that my cutesy, simple style of drawing is juxtaposed with something that I actually expended a bit of effort to draw. Sean's coloring/inking of the fly monster brings a tear to my eye in that it was creative and probably not that easy to do. This comic is also special to me because it is based on my sister, who always used to talk to insects she would find in our yard.

Your Bike

I actually feel pretty bad about this one. Again, however, the joke isn't on the person on the receiving end of something tragic. It's the idiocy and ridiculousness of the person delivering the punchline. In retrospect, I wish this one had been both drawn and colored better, as it looks a little bare.

One-Way Ticket

I wrote this comic on a plane ride. The point of this comic wasn't just to try to use shock humor or poke fun at a tragic event. The joke is that the first and second panels are barely related, and the shock humor is a complete and horrible surprise. It's also a jab at the mindless shock humor it would appear to be if someone had read it out of context or without knowing me personally. Pretty meta, huh?

Alarm Clock

This is one of my favorite comics we did, not just because of Sean nailing the bright, children's-book-style coloring, but because it is one of the few comics we made that I thought accurately conveyed the absurdity I wanted to get across. Absurd humor is my favorite, and I wish we'd done more comics in this style than the ones that used some variation of shock humor. One of the ones I received the most positive feedback about, but also the most bewilderment.

Mom!

This was the first comic posted on our site. It was an idea that I had come up with a long time before this, and I thought it was simple, funny, and dark enough to be a good indication of where our strip was headed. This was one of many old comics I redrew for the strip because I felt the joke was strong enough, but the art needed a huge facelift.

Pumpkinhead Jones

This was the first comic I specifically created for our strip. I wanted to directly contrast my cutesy art with some of the darker, more intricate things that I draw. Sean's coloring allowed this contrast to become even more apparent. It was also the first of many character-based comics we did.

Abortion City Blues

For awhile I'm going to be uploading some old comics so that I can use this space as somewhat of an online portfolio. I am also doing this because my old comic site, drawing-blanks.com, is likely going to be shut down at some point in the near future because of lack of updates.

This comic is called "Abortion City Blues". It was the first comic that I had planned to put on the site, though I made it before Sean and I had decided to make a weekly strip. It was inspired in part by the gruesome and hilarious comic strip "Maakies" by Tony Millionaire.
