This one was based on the word “Identical,” which was the word of the week on Illustration Friday.
I like the absurd idea that someone would actually have an indentical twin created medically. It would be fun to develop a character that would go to such an extreme.
I created this one for this week’s word on Illustration Friday.
I did this one for this week’s Illustration Friday word of the week “BOUNCE.”
Sorry it has been so long since I posted. Also sorry for neglecting all the great comics that I usually check out on a regualr basis. Work has buried me for awhile so it was difficult to find any time but now I’m writing much more.
Also – I’m using my iPad to sketch out my ideas in Wacom’s Bamboo app. Below is an example of this for this comic. It is pretty rough but it allows to get down the idea and keeps it all in one place which I love.
In place of a comic I’m posting a ‘work in progress’ poster I’m creating for the upcoming CTN-X Animation Expo in Burbank Nov 18th-20th where I will be exhibiting. I have been so slammed with preparing for this convention that I have not had the time to do a regular comic but I thought I would at least let you see what I’m working on.
If you have never heard on CTN-X it has quickly become the place the animation industry convention for anyone interested in animation as a career or any regard for that matter right in the heart of the LA animation industry. It is packed with discussions, panels and artist that you have all heard of. I am very fortunate to be a part of it and always have a great, exhausting time.

Have a good week.
This is a semi ‘mash up’ post between “On This Day Cartoon” & “52 Villains” although the ‘villain’ part does not happen till after part 1. I also Incorporated the idea of “mystery” or “Mysterious” which is the topic of the week for Illustration Friday. If you do not know about Illustration Friday you really need to check it out. It is an amazing site where artist of all different levels get together and create illustrations (or comics) based on a new word every week.
Thank you for visiting. Have a good Labor Day.
Here is part 2 of the Mrs. Clean story. All villains can have problems coming up with their “disguise.” Just think bout the pressure in such a image conscious society.
I had a rough time coming up with a part 2 for some reason. Wish I could talk about it more but right now I get some sleep. I’ll post more about it later in the week.
Another history lesson of sorts. I mention “lesson” as that is the word of the week for Illustration Friday. This is a great website that allows users to create an illustration based on a topic/word a week. I submitted this comic to this week’s work which was “lesson;” since in a way it was a history “lesson.”
May 2nd 1536 Anne Boleyn was arrested and taken to the Tower of London. Her story is pretty well documented in history and it has plenty of tension, drama, sex, intrigue, betrayal, and be-heading. If you want an easy cliff notes version you can see the “The Other Boleyn Girl” staring Natalie Portman as Anne and Sarlett Johansson as her sister Mary.
What is amazing to me is how quickly Henry VIII’s love or lust for Anne grew cold once it seemed she could not produce a male heir. It seems crazy to put yourself in a situation that could cost her life, but I’m sure at the time it made sense to do and probably seemed like a chance of a lifetime, which I guess it was to a degree. Luckily Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton’s marriage will most likely not resemble Henry VIII and Anne’s marriage at all. We have come a long way, but we still have more to go.
Lastly, not sure if anyone will get the Cromwell reference in panel 5 but I was referring to Thomas Cromwell. History has it that he may have engineered the arrest and execution of Anne to cover up his own corruption plus Anne became a threat to his power some historians say.
I could go on and on about this but it is better if you read all the sordid details yourself on some website or in a history book rather than get it third hand from me.
I hope you like the history comics. I want to do more of them. Thanks for checking out the site. Please leave a comment if you can.
A special pre-Monday comic inspired by this week’s Illustration Friday subject REVERSE.
This is my take on the direction I some times feel that people like Sarah Palin want to take this country in. Rather than trying to build upon what the current or even past administrations have created they would rather tear it down, criticize it and call for a “new” agenda or a vision of the “good ‘ol days.” This type of thing is popular in business as well. But whomever is playing this card it is usually 100% vested in their own self-interest; getting elected or being a CEO, etc.
I could go on and on, but I run the risk of becoming preaching and way too serious when the idea of this webcomic is to find the humor, irony, satire in all this behavior, which is a much healthier than getting angry about it all the time.
The idea of this comic came to me a few days ago and I worked it out completely in the computer in Manga Studio except for the color which I did in PS due to some layer issues. I was originally going to have Sarah saying something but after I finished I thought it worked fine with no text/dialogue. But if anyone comes up with some good dialogue for Sarah please let me know.
So there it is my Special Pre-Monday comic. I hope you enjoy it.
