Time to shoot them down one-by-one. MARC COMING [...]

CHARACTER ACTING Good comics feature good character acting. I believe this.

Can you imagine Watchmen without Dave Gibbons’ expressive and well-defined characters? I can’t. It’s why I love the work of Kevin Maguire [...]

No one was asking, but I wanted to know what Gene was up to. Now I wish I didn’t. See? Giant robots aren’t all bad. Why, if it hadn’t been there, just think of all the trouble Gene would have gotten into! Gasp! Gene is the mastermind! Reminder: The deadline for Guest Strippin’ Xmas 3 [...]

I really love how Marc is coloring these night scenes. I’d have probably (stupidly) used black. Marc is smarter than me. I appreciate all the great comments about how much (in general) you’re enjoying this latest chapter. It’s far and away the longest one yet and that’s very much on purpose, but it can strain [...]

And we’re back! Big thanks to the guest strippers last week for keeping the home fires burning. Not that I was entirely neglectful. “The Asthma Killer” blogs wrapped up last week as well. Hope every had a great Christmas and holidays. I know I did. Nice to be able to relax a little. We’re in [...]

Just a great bit of silent storytelling from Marc here. ”Ye Olde Cashier” is the right kind of anachronistic. Nice work, Marc. The last half of the script to this chapter underwent a number of changes late in the game. Mostly all additions. The ending will be the same as I’ve planned it for years, but [...]

By Marc’s own admission, this was the most complicated and detailed SF strip he’s had to do yet. There are actually three layers of art there, and Marc drew them all separately to pull it off. Kudos, Marc. Storywise, the winds of change are in the air. If you need a little help as to [...]

Holy snot, I never would have guessed Marc would outdo his art in the previous strip so soon. This sucker rocks! Been lots of fantastic comments from you guys lately. You psychoanalyze these characters in a way few other readerships do. You make this worth doing. I see lots more conversation on the horizon as [...]

Soviet Sam makes me happy. He’s a character I’ve barely drawn myself, but I love how easily he fits into the main story and how much his presence adds to the proceedings. Nice seeing a bunch of the characters in the same strip again. Marc always handles these crowd scenes so well. Don’t forget to [...]
