Happy 4th of July!!!
Have a great day.
By the way, does anybody else see a giant alien-ghost attacking the city in the picture of the fireworks above?
No?
Look closely.
Still no?
Okay, I drew a visual for clarification:

Am I the only one? Am I crazy?
Hi! So, this is a sample from the “Almost There” comic strip collection that I submitted to newspaper syndicates back when I was 19 years old. I’m thinking of setting up a separate site to display these as a limited-run thing. I probably will sooner or later.
The concept of Almost There was a family living next door to a crazy inventor. As you may be able to tell from Edmund Finney’s Quest to Find the Meaning of Life, I don’t like being limited by reality in my comic worlds.
The concept was rejected outright.
This particular strip was probably the inspiration for the first Edmund Finney strip.
More rejections to be posted…
So, I did a guest strip for fellow “newspaper-style” comic strip artist Dawn Griffin of Zorphbert and Fred! We have very different art styles, so it was fun to draw a full-page strip in my style, using her characters. Zorphbert and Fred are two aliens disguised as dogs, studying human life.
This was a little dealy she had going where people can invent what these aliens look like under the masks! It happens to be my first official guest strip for another webcomic artist. I look forward to doing more for other overworked webcomickers in need of a vacation!
