Real Men

Half-formed cartoon ideas, previously doomed to languish forever in my sketchbook, are now being employed by the University News. I'm using a brush pen for a looser line and more efficient process, but the strips still resemble "Delayed Karma." Hopefully, they'll grow up to be more than that strip's underachieving slacker brother.

In the works...

I'm putting together a new mini-comic/zine/rehash of sixteen "Delayed Karma" strips from the KC Star and two color strips that appeared on the Wayward Blog. This is a highly technical process involving clandestine free printing at the dental school and explaining to Kayla why I bought a $30 stapler. The end result will be collecting dust on the shelves of select KC-area comic shops for the better part of a decade, at which point the owners will toss them out, the store will "lose them in the move," or a family member will buy the last one out of sympathy.
In other news, I'm starting a new weekly comic for UMKC's University News. Naming a new strip is always a challenge. At this point, it will be called "Great cartoon ideas I had but could only think of three panels instead of six." Yeah, that has a nice ring to it.
