Happy Thanksgiving!

Black Band Arlo

It's always nice to see Arlo Wazzo travel to other people's comic strips. Even if it's for a sad occasion.
Thanks again to my cartoonist pal, Dale Martin, for the invitation!

The fantastic Dale Martin just posted an interview he did with me awhile back. Thanks again, Dale!

A Change in the Weather

After being on second shift for 15 years, I'm happy to announce I got new hours at Touchy Feely Fotos. I work 10:00 am- 6:30 pm so I now have my evenings free. With that being the case, I'm hoping to do more theater work in the near future. In September, I'll be in Think, Dog's production of The Guys with Ms. Katy Wolfe. In October, I'll be playing Arlo Wazzo on stage in Sean Orlosky's Those Funky Idiots: One Funky Halloween at the Farmland Community Center. Plus I have a cowboy musical that will debut sometime in August. A lot of good stuff to look forward to! Wahoo!.

Blast from the Past: Seen on Channel 15! (1998)

Once upon a time Those Funky Idiots aired on public access in Muncie, Indiana and the mayor hated us. We never tried to win him over, but I did make a flyer for the show featuring early cartoon versions of the cast. I don't remember if I ever handed any of the fliers out to anybody, but one copy did hang on the wall at Bob's Comic Castle for awhile. Thanks again, Bob!
The featured cast include (From top to bottom) Birnie, The Rummage Sale Lady, Vinnie Tuscany, Poppy Sinclair, Arlo Wazzo (Holding an urn containing the cremated remains of Nana Wingate), and Amanda Wazzo.

Four Day Weekend News

  Well, another long weekend has come and gone in a hasty manner. Fools wrapped up its fun run at the Farmland Center and I was honored once again to be surrounded by a talented cast and crew. Much thanks to everyone involved and to our incredible audiences.   Also this past weekend, Tom Cherry's Old Time Radio Show played to a small, but mighty audience. Wish more people attended because the cast knocked this particular episode out of the ballpark! We tackled Father Knows Best as well as The Happy Hoppy Hopper Show and a slightly naughty The Mayor of Farmland. A lot of fun for just a dollar! Archived shows can always be found at 7am and 7pm at http://www.farmlandindiana.org/. You can listen in by clicking the radio icon or on any mobile device through the TuneIn App, keyword Farmland Radio!   What else? Besides spending the weekend with some great friends, I also won a very cool prize from Ivan Shreve Jr., master blogger and the curator of Thrilling Days of Yesteryear (One of my favorite blogs!). Thank you once again, Ivan!

Paneling

  Here's a panel I sketched at work which will eventually become part of a comic strip at some point in time. Hopefully, sooner than later. And, yes, it involves Arlo Wazzo going on another bad date. I know I go to that well a great deal, but it's a rather deep well!   Also Self Publisher Magazine reviews Double Dip, a little comic book I cobbled together with the great Dale Martin!

Arlo Sings!

  More proof that resturant placemats are meant for drawing!
