Hey everyone! Happy Tuesday! Question about Twitter- is it annoying when people tweet too much? I’m new enough to not know the etiquette. I’m a quiet guy in general, so I don’t think people need to know when I’m doing something mundane like laughing at clowns on the street. I wouldn’t even be laughing at clowns anyway. I’d be cowered behind my front window with a shovel in my hands, wondering when the clowns are going to leave. Then I’d think, “Hey, did I lock the front door?” And I’d be in quite a predicament, because I wouldn’t know which is safer- assume I locked the front door, and keep my hidden-lookout position, or go to make sure the front door is locked and possibly have my cover blown. In my nightmare, the clowns would see me, point, and screech like The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and sprint in my direction. Am I scared of clowns, you ask? It depends on what kind. The kind with needles for teeth? yes. The kind with regular teeth? yes. The kind that duck behind bushes when you turn around just fast enough to catch them out of the corner of your eye when walking down the street at night? usually.

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!
Hey! Welcome to anybody who came over from my guest comic for Dawn Griffin at ZFComics.com! For anybody who doesn’t know, I did a guest strip for her, so go check it out! Also, I learned that a comic of mine will be in MAD Magazine in the edition coming out on August 18! I’ll post more details as it draws closer. Thanks for stopping by!
Hey! I may or may not have gotten the exclamation “Oh, barnacles” from Spongebob Squarepants. I seriously can’t remember, but I bet they do say it. Don’t judge me, just because I watch awesome cartoons from time to time. Also, Joyeux Quatorze Juillet! (to my French friends).
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…
