Short Story turned into Comic!

Hard at work with some panels for my upcoming adaptation of SMACKDAB into an 8-page comic... Picking which moments to show is proving tough!

Taking some inspiration from Lyndsay Hunter, MFAW



Leviathan-Existential Prangst

Like Calvin and Hobbes? Like Bloom County? Like Kierkegaard? Then have I got the read for you:

Leviathan
Peter Blegvad

And here is the worst, most banal descriptor, EVER:

Clever Mash-ups: Cathy/CK & Garfield (minus Garfield)

One of my favorite online strips is a simple idea & simple execution, but for an amazing end-result:

Garfield Minus Garfield:
http://garfieldminusgarfield.net

Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb. 


And then the less successful of the two, and yet still humorous:
Louis CK meets Cathy:

(Sidenote: I always thought it was funny that Cathy's famous declaration is Ack and there is a Kathy Acker... and they could not be further from each other: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Acker)

Back from Tech-Illiterate hiatus

OK - Blogger had shut me out for a week and a half -- but now I know the end-around, so I can share again!

Huzzah!
