REMIND ME TO DO/NOT DO THAT AGAIN… Today’s strip is another example of a time when my reach has exceeded my grasp. As both writer and artist, I have the luxury of scripting things that I know I can draw. But, every once in a while, I bring the story to a point where I [...]

UPDATE! READER GREG BULMASH BREAKS IT DOWN! I’ve gotta thank Greg for this. He posted it earlier today in the comments and it just made me smile. He puts the point across in a way that I, as the person asking for the donation, would be too ashamed to. So just know that I didn’t [...]

Then we saw them again here, just before the One Year Later jump. If you’re finding yourself [...]

Sometimes, I ask Marc to accomplish the tricky task of communicating a character’s entire state of mind or silent conversation purely through a facial expression. I think in order to write effective character dramas within the comics medium, you’ve GOT to be able to handle facial expressions well. It’s why Marc is such an effective [...]
