Wallhangers

  Here's a photo of some my comic strips at the From the Stage to the Walls art exhibit at the Farmland Center. The exhibit officially opens today with a reception at 1-4pm. Unfortunately, I have an audition for God of Carnage at the Muncie Civic at the same time so I will be a bit tardy to the reception. Fortunately, Sean Orlosky and Wendy Carpenter will be on hand to converse with the patrons. A busy Saturday afternoon for the fat cartoonist!   Photo courtesy of Lindsey Cox.

From the Stage to the Walls

  Here's a promotional piece for an upcoming art exhibit at the Farmland Center that will feature the work of Sean Orlosky, Wendy Carpenter, and myself. Sean and Wendy will provide the brilliant paintings while I'll be bringing the toons. Eight of my strips to be exact and each one is up for sale if anybody wants to part with some of their currency. I haven't exhibited any of my stuff in a long time so I'm excited to be sharing wall space with the talented Sean and Wendy. Come one, come all!   Designed by Lindsey Cox.

This Guy

  Has a slight Uncle Fester vibe going for him, but that may just be me.

Today's Comic Haul (9/7/13)

  Batman Incorporated #13   FF #11   Itty Bitty Hellboy #1   Purchased at Bob's Comic Castle. Total amount: $9.60   Note- For the record, there were a couple comic hauls between this one and the last one. I hope you're not too disappointed in me, constant reader!...Sorry to hear recently that Matt Fraction is leaving FF, but I'll be sticking around as long as the Allreds are involved...Even though it wasn't on my regular reading list, I still had to buy the last issue of Batman Incorporated to see how Grant Morrison wrapped things up. Rather fittingly, I though. I've enjoyed Morrison's tenure with Batman and I slightly regret I didn't grab his BI on a regular basis. Of course, I'm sure his run will be easily found in the back issue bins for years to come...Some big comics news in Muncie this past week with well-known writer Mark Waid buying into a local comic book store called Alter Ego Comics. I've never been to Alter Ego and I doubt this news will change that. My loyalty is to Bob and Bob's Comic Castle!   Impossible Man was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

Please Stand By

  My computer has been giving me some technical difficulties for the last three days, but things seem to have settled down a bit and I'm back on-line! Have you missed me?
