The To-do List, part 48.

I was hoping to have a new "Adjustment Period" page drawn today, but alas, pretty much the whole day was blown on helping a friend with his car problems. I told the good wife that I'd been giving my pal Donny some hose, because he really needed it. She took this news in good humor.

   So today's page is m...

The Cartoon History of Iceland, page 3.

I still get a laugh out of "Was it you who poked holes through BOTH my sons?!"

The To-do List, part 47.

Dr. Underleigh Hulk-leaps away, but our heroes' troubles are not over. Being unsure of exactly where Mink & company might show up, it seems the Bedlamites have blanketed the entire city with their brain-scrambling broadcast.

The To-do List, part 46.

Beating on you doesn't seem to be having the desired effect, so how about if I shoot you in the face with the anti-tank rifle your goons have thoughtfully provided me with?

The To-do List, part 45.

Hündrat is normally a cheerful, "friendly redneck" sort. But hurt one of her few friends, and she just might ram a length of rebar down your throat, and use it as a handle to slam you into the floor hard enough to crack concrete.

Here there be Dragons 3, page 66.

Can Olga take it? She seems to think so...

The Adjustment Period, page 3.

To be fair, this lil' episode is from Mink's raw beginnings, when she hadn't figured out the exact dosages & voltages yet.

The Cartoon History of Iceland, page 2.

Summer in Iceland is lovely, but yeah, the winters can freeze your ass off.

The To-do List, part 44.

Dr. Underleigh may be a lot stronger, but his life experience consists mostly of standing around in laboratories, and later sitting behind a desk, giving orders to people in laboratories.

   Whereas Hündrat was literally born to be a soldier, and has had plenty of fight training and experience. I don't t...

The To-do List, part 43.

Welcome to the Club club, Dr. Underleigh! And here's a pro tip for you kids: Don't bust your knuckles on some jerk's armor - Grab something hard and heavy to knock it apart, instead!

The To-do List, part 42.

Hey, doc! Guess who else has a high-tech helmet 'round her thick skull?

Here there be Dragons 3, page 65.

Yup, the Curse has overdone it. Gosh, I wonder what will happen next?

The Adjustment Period, page 2.

Laura's been having a dry spell since....well, since puberty? So yes, she's a lil' bit eager and impatient.

The Cartoon History of Iceland, page 1.

Okay, so....An Icelandic publisher or two has been waiting for YEARS for me to finish the Icelandic Cartoon History, so it can be published as tourist-fodder, and make us both some money. But somehow, I've resisted finishing the last couple of chapters for....over a decade, now?!

   But I've found somethi...

The To-do List, part 41.

Looks like Mink & crew underestimated the Bedlamites, in their turn. Those helmets obviously protect 'em from the brainlocking broadcast. And look, Dr. Underleigh has given himself super-strength. OOOF! That looks like it hurt!

The To-do List, part 40.

Awww, dammit! Don't tell me the Bedlamites are cheating again?!

Welcome to 2025, my droogs. Beware brain-melting chaos!

The To-do List, part 39.

Moving at super-speed burns a lotta calories! Have a safe-ish and sanity-adjacent New Year!

Here there be Dragons 3, page 64.

Uh - Oh. That's some heavy Mojo going on, there.

The Adjustment Period, page 1.

Got a little commissioned story here that I thought I'd share.

Heh....Laura hasn't realized yet that she no longer needs to buy her own drinks.

Fourteen year old Karno doodles.

OK, OK, this is the last toon from my nostalgia trip. In 1979 I had a sketch diary, and gleefully filled it up with exuberant doodles. Back then, making pictures was just for FUN! I'm still chortling at the guy with the garden hose, & where the water goes.

.....No, I tell a lie. Fourteen years old was when I scored ...

The To-do List, part 38.

The Bedlamites usually know what they're doing. But what they do is always and only for their own benefit. If what they do kills millions of others, well, that's just too bad.

The To-do List, part 37.

We've been having a leisurely Yule morning, over here. A big brunch with the local family, then sittin' around the tree, opening presents. Ahhhh, lovely, lovely! Hope your Yule was as good, or even better!

The Ace of Hearts versus his Inner Demons!

I've never tried to upload a text story onto Patreon before. Let's see if I can figure out how. It's a mildly Yule-ish story about a large, bright red, cheerful & generous sort of chap:

So I’m “floating” in bed, just after I woke up, but before the stresses of the day have to be dealt with. Yesterday, I...

Merry & Happy to all and sundry!

Did I not post this here yet? DUH! I think I already sent it to the subscribers, but the common rabble should also get the blessings of my well-wishes, for Karno is not stingy!

The To-do List, part 36.

Most adventures, oddly enough, have a lot of waiting in them. Perversity of the Universe, I guess.

Here there be Dragons 3, page 63.

Ohhhh, the Drama! The build-up! This had better be good.

How Bull O'Brannon came to the Animal Circus, page 10.

That was a nice bit of nostalgia. Next up, another blast from the past - the adventure Mink had an hour after she'd enchanted herself a new body....but the change-magic hadn't completely worked out, yet.

Karno's First Comic, page 2.

....Aaaand that's about enough of that. Damn, but I've been doing these illustrated stories for a long time. So what next for the Saturday slot? Herman Orca in retirement? Happy Jack's brutal fight with Billy Wholesale? Scotman & Icelad's battle with the Cancelor? Another tale of Reacher and Lester? A sexy story from the ...

The To-do List, part 35.

Also, Hündrat would have gotten all bent out of shape, if she'd been left behind. She loves to hang out with Mink and her homies.

The To-do List, part 34.

Hmh. I should have put in an establishing shot of Ryadh. Maybe I will, for the collected Mink book(s). Meanwhile, the Phantom has a grudge...
