Milk & Cheese Archive: Notes For An Unproduced Goth Comic

I'm depressed and amazed at how much time I spent making notes for potential Milk & Cheeses comics back in the 90s and whatever we call that hazy decade that was 2000-2010. The files I have on ...

Fun Strip Archive: Office Hi-Jinx (1)

Fun Strip Archive: I Gotta Stop Hanging Out With Victor Von Frankenstein

Fun Strip Archive: Sometimes...I Get To Thinking

Old art is new if you haven't seen it before.

Feeling better but not well. Not thinking of slicing my hand off, thankfully. What a weird thing to think. It was true for the time, though. An i...

Nosing this along as much as possible.

Penciling tight because my hand wavers a bit when I ink. Frustrating. Tight pencils can kill some of the liveliness on the page, especially since my in...
