Still updating!
May. 26th, 2009 10:31 am( I'm still updating the webcomic... )
Lunch of Steel
Apr. 9th, 2009 08:12 amSince the Little Man has been rather engrossed with Scooby-Doo lately, I was expecting to have to crib from one of his coloring books. No, he actually wanted the Man of Steel himself. So, this is what he took to school:
Complete with peanut butter sandwich, graham crackers and a juice box. Done in Sharpie and Crayola, even! My apologies to Tim Sale for borrowing from his cover for A Superman for All Seasons.
Winter Storm 2009!
Jan. 28th, 2009 11:07 pmAt this time, I am holed up in a hotel because my neighborhood lost power around 06:00 EST this morning. Thankfully once it appeared the utilities people had their hands full, we obtained some assistance in procuring some shelter. Still… some people are getting a little nuts and cramming my family into a rather small room for a prolonged period of time can lead to no good.
Family Freeze-In: Day 1 – Mr. Black is already getting restless. I fear only cannibalism awaits.
Rough Day at the Drawing Board
Jan. 14th, 2009 10:20 pmRough Day at the Drawing Board
Trying to maximize the most out of my little backlog of webcomics, I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time today hunched over my drawing desk. I’m slowly eking out another arc, but…
…I keep getting distracted by things that aren’t what I’m supposed to be drawing.
Like Zombie Cyborgs from the 35th Century. And before you ask, yes, I’ve been reading far too much of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy for my own good lately. Though I might be postponing my post-apocalyptic zomborg fest, it has been inspiring me to think of shorter stories to tell. Fun fun fun!
The Burden of Wakefulness

January 7th, 2009
It is perhaps one of worst curses imaginable… while I would not exactly describe myself as an “early riser” I am certainly capable and called upon to do so. Unfortunately, the rest of my family appears to be stalwart night owls and most definitely NOT morning people.
Yes, I’m looking at YOU, Little Dude.
Anyway, here’s some coloring I ended up playing around with the other day, with some inspiration and direction from kiddo.
Yay me.
Happy Birthday, Kiddo
Dec. 22nd, 2008 04:09 pmOn December 22 of 2002, after 16 hours of labor, my wife gave birth to a small boy of 5 lbs 14.5 ozs and 19″. I knew he was destined to be the end of me since he began experiencing respiratory problems shortly after birth due to a heart valve not closing properly. After nine days at UK’s NICU, he came home for the New Year.
The Holidays, They Besiege Us
Dec. 8th, 2008 08:03 amThe Little Man hasn’t cared much for talking to that Infamous Elf of the Northern Wastes the last couple years, but apparently the school system made it clear that if you talk to the Rotund One, presents appear.
The funny thing being, this photo was taken on the Little Dude’s second visit. The first time he saw this exact same Santa, he told The Wife and I in no uncertain terms “That’s not Santa.” Perhaps Mr. Fluffy (depicted) or his mercenary heart convinced him otherwise.
24 Hour Comicbook Day -- update!

24 Hour Comicbook Day
Oct. 18th, 2008 09:05 amAn hour into the event known to the universe only as "24 Hour Comicbook Day." I've gotten about 4 pages pencilled. Right now I'm just playing catch-up on all of the strips I wanted to get done this week. I wanted to build up a backstock of comics so that I'd be able to focus on the upcoming NaNoWriMo event without scrambling to get a semi-weekly comic strip up as well. I've still got a number left that I've laid out but haven't drawn or inked yet. Hopefully I can bust through these and finish up this little story arc with enough time to work on a short (4 - 6 page) original graphic story today.
Gambatte!
Sketchbook Peek!
Sep. 11th, 2008 10:53 amIt's been a while since I've entered something. I really need to learn that blogging is about just throwing something up here regularly. ^_^; In that vein, here's a glimpse into my sketchbook!
As you can see I did a couple portrait sketches of McKinley and then... kind made a Ghost Rider a homeroom teacher. You know. Just to see what he looked like. "Mr. Murder - Algebra Teacher" probably won't make it into this series, though I could see some retooling shaping him up to fit in nicely with my Evil Acedemy idea.
Mweh heh heh.I Removed a Parasite From Your HEAD!
Aug. 1st, 2008 11:56 amYesterday was a big day.
The wife and I took Little Dude to get his pre-kindergarten eye exam. Shocking beyond belief is that the progeny of two extremely near-sighted people has almost perfect vision. Not so shocking was that Little Dude messed with the heads of everyone trying to evaluate his vision by deliberately misnaming the images he was supposed to identify. And then giggling about it.
Afterward, it was my priviledge to drop the wee man off at my mom’s where he would spend the next couple days. Presumably the last trip he gets to take for a long while once school starts. He was delighted to see Grandma Cindy. Just as I was about to leave, however, I discovered a rather large tick hidden in his hair.
No, not this:
The other kind. Needless to say, a great deal of sturm und drang went into removing the thing… and a small piece of Little Dude’s scalp with it, it had attached itself so tightly. The boy came through the ordeal like a champ and hopefully my paranoid perusal of the CDC’s Lyme disease pages will be for nothing.
Of course the boy was completely unphased by the whole thing such that when I loudly proclaimed I’d earned a hug for “removing a parasite from your head” he allowed me to give him a hug… and then tried to place the bite mark in my face.

Long Time, No... You Get the Idea
Jul. 25th, 2008 12:37 amI've put up 2 (3) strips already and am working on putting up more non-strip content. I guess I'll just have to get over my shyness. ;)

3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ
Wow, I've read 23 of these and seen the movies to a number more. It's almost like I'm educated or something!

(no subject)
Oct. 21st, 2007 01:27 amThis year's premise was about some average teenager accidentally getting enrolled in a school that churned out future underworld leaders. I know, I just can't write and draw enough evil. I wonder what that says about me as a person? Hmmm...
Anywho, here's a sample page (no. 3 out of 9 completed) for those who suffer from uncontrollable curiosity.

Fluffy and Bear! --Updated
Oct. 19th, 2007 12:02 amIt is a YAY.
It is also my earnest desire to update the webcomic thrice weekly, preferably on a MWF schedule. Sadly given how my work schedule flips every week, it's more of a "three times a week at any random day" until I can work up a backlog of strips. With Little Dude at my mom's until Sunday (Sunday! Sunday!) that's the goal.
