Beating the Man, page 10.

Jim's military service was more than just a "hitch", but unlike some, he doesn't talk about it much.

Turnabout, page 5.

Well, if that's not enough for Selma, she never will get enough.

Love in the Arena, page 30.

The huge hound is still on our couple's trail...

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 58.

Shooting a sadistic super-villain with a cannon is like planting seeds: You never know what will sprout as a result, further down the timeline. When Scotman lit that fuse, he didn't see free donuts coming!

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 57.

For the sarcasm impaired: X-ray specs has heard that joke many, many times before. And in the last panel, he means that if you fly around while invisible, you could have a mid-air collision with another flying superhero who can't see you coming in time to dodge.

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 56.

When you're a limited resource in high demand, even gratitude can get obnoxious.

Beating the Man, page 9.

Such barter is a way of life in Faltown. A Puritan type might see it as corruption, but most of the natives see it as fair trade.

Stand-in Perverts, page 3.

Despite my best efforts, page five of "Turnabout" is just not ready. So here's the third and final page of "Perverts" to stand in for it.

   In my defense, the big illustration project people have finally gotten back to me with another script for an illustrated legal guide. I already took their money, so ...

Love in the Arena, page 29.

You never know how tough you REALLY are until you're put to the test. It seems Anna can handle it.

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 55.

Mink has accepted she can't save them all. Were she to even try, that way doth madness lie. But that still doesn't make it easy to tell a crying, doomed child that there's nothing you can do for them.

   As for the Torch of Liberty....little pleasures that you take for granted might be rare luxuries for o...

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 54.

If I was the parent of a kid that looked to be wheelchair-bound for the rest of her short life - and I heard of a magician a couple towns over who would be performing miracle cures for ONE NIGHT ONLY? Hell yeah, I'd strap rockets to myself if that's what it took to get there in time.

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 53.

This is from later in the Mink's career, where she must beware Manhattan syndrome.

Beating the Man, page 8.

Getting punched out by a big, tough guy may be painful and humiliating. But it beats getting shot dead by a scared little girl.

Stand-in Perverts.

Alas, events have caught up to me, and this week's page of Turnaround is just not ready. Standing in for Harri and Selma is another horse/canine pair, albeit with the genders swapped. Hope it'll hold ya until next week.

Love in the Arena, page 28.

This is not Herman's first rodeo. But it is Anna's first up-close encounter with lethal violence. Not something a kind-hearted sort like her can easily shrug off.

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 52.

I've had the thought many a time when reading super-hero comics: "That power would be useful for SO many more things than fighting other super-goobers!"

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 51.

Whatever Icelad's super-power is, it's not mind-reading.

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 50.

The hospital staff are understandably nervous about letting a bunch of hungover metas (whose idea of fun is to dress up in circus costumes and pick fights with other super-powered lunatics) so close to their patients. But the kids do so love the super-show, so the staff can't say no. But they provide LOTS of adult supervision...

Beating the Man, page 7.

Captain Rumbolt enters the scene, and he is not known for putting up with a lot of nonsense.

Turnabout, page 4.

The wolf-pack gets busy!

Love in the Arena, page 27.

The top panel of this page was one of the first images of Herman Orca ever drawn, something like thirty-one years ago. And now, the story has finally rolled around to where it appears. This is one of the many reasons I love Patreon.

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 49.

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro". Lisa is still normal enough to appreciate that her boys operate in a profoundly strange world.

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 48.

Yep, Icelad is fast on his feet, but not on the pick-up. And he's right, villains are unsporting cads. Bounders, even!

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 47.

Ah! The "charge for this post" button works again, so I can get back to fleecing my fans for shameless self-indulgence like this story.

    Seriously, this IS nice work if you can get it. Thank you kindly, my cronies!

Beating the Man, page 6.

So now I'm hiding in Havana - I'm a desperate man.

Send lawyers, guns and money - the shit has hit the fan!

Turnabout, page 3.

When I posted the Herman page last night, the "charge for this post" button was disabled. Sure hope that gets fixed soon.

   Because, well, the utility companies, the grocery store, my doctor, et cetera....they don't care how much fun I have drawing this stuff, the joy of art, and all that. They just want...

Love in the Arena, page 26.

It says something about Herman's life that not only has he been carrying around a grenade since the DeCarnhanh fight, but he has now found an occasion to use it.

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 46.

Oh, what is Steve trying to pull now?

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 45.

Our merry crew can be a bit cold-blooded when the situation calls for it, but they are not sociopaths.

Scotman and Icelad in Road Trip! part 44.

Maybe. Or maybe it's a case of great minds think alike, and so do theirs.
