Jim Woodring, in his brilliant comic “Particular Mind,” drew the artist dreaming of struggling in a life drawing class. His pen scrawls on the paper, unable to capture the figure before him. Much to his amazement (and chagrin) the woman next to him is drawing the model as a comic strip. She is detailing he […]
Inspired by a friend’s visit to the doctor to fix his painful toe. This is what I am sure happened.
You may recall the “Old Joe” Page previously seen here. It seemed like a good cover for a comic, yes? Combine that with pages from some other comics: Karen, the Hairy Boys, the Quantos, and bundle them together as a convenient PDF to sit on your virtual bookshelf with all the other comick booke greats. Have […]
There is no such thing as Old Joe Comics. No one wants to read this comic, just look at it! It would fairly well frighten any children who came across it, and adults seeing that face would only be given a grim reminder of the ignoble fate that awaits us all – if we’re lucky […]

That’s part of what makes them work. This was Quanto #3 from the same wild bacchanal of comix referred to here. Why would […]
Click for bigger size. This was Quanto #2 from the same wild bacchanal of comix referred to here. I’m certain that Brian Dewan supplied the title. That’s my re-inking work on it, but definitely his lettering.
Brian and Ted Dewan made this game up when they were kids. Scott McCloud’s written about it in his last book, “Making Comics.” Now that I’ve dropped all those names, I’ll add that this latest piece is from a session playing Quanto with Brian, Scott, and Cecilia. The way Quanto works is […]
