The Japanese fleet is getting closer and closer to my harbor, too. Should I be concerned?

"Do you even lift, bro..?"
So this is a bit dated, I admit, because the Iran-Israel exchange happened a few weeks ago. But I am interested less in the actual exchange as it happened, and more interested in the repercussions as time goes on.
Yes, this isn't a post getting philosophical about what military life is ...

If you've been on the internet at all the last few weeks, you've probably run across the "Bear in the Woods" meme running around. The premise is that a woman walking alone in the woods would rather encounter a bear than a random man. The implication is, a lot of women see a random man as potentially more problematic than a gi...

Looks like SSG Specter has something very decisive to say about a subject the ladies are talking about.
Cleaned up inks! Is he agreeing? Is he instructing? I he mansplaining something? Stay tuned!

Nothing like a good hoard of treasure stashed away for retirement. But if it is buried on an island, is your money truly working for you?
Who cares? It's time to celebrate with some beans.

In 2004, the movie "Mean Girls" came out. And in it is the line, "Get in, loser, we're going shopping!" Since then, the "Get in, loser, we're ______" line has become a meme, with all sorts of options inserted as needed.

So this will be a single-panel comic. I have taken a template for a 3-panel comic and drawn right across the gutter of the top two panel to create one large panel that takes 2/3rds of the page. Usually, for a single-panel comic I will do this, or, combine the top two panels of a 4-panel template.
Since these get scanne...

When someone joins the Army, they talk to a recruiter and pick a job that they want. The old days, of the Army randomly choosing one person to be a cook and one person to be a rifleman while another becomes a mechanic, hasn't been the case for a long time. You pick a job you want and you go to Basic Training --frequently at o...

SSG Specter reveals how he got involved in Intelligence. Apparently it is a slightly awkward story.
After the pencils come the inks, of course-- all digitally.

I really did have a young troop ask me "what's with these jokes about PT belts?" and I had to take a moment and realize that... yeah, I haven't seen many lately.

When I started writing this comic and creating the visual part of it, Putin's "interview" with Tucker Carlson was still relatively recent. That went pretty much like the script from "Airplane": "I need to know everything about this situation from the beginning!"

Remember "Vox Noctem"? It is going to be an anthology of short stories based on a theme, produced by Random Coyote Productions, LLC. I just wanted to show how the project is going so far, featuring one of the stories that has been submitted for eventual publication!
