These are the things I doodle at work when I'm trying to eat lunch and someone calls me to tell me about merchant service rates. I'm just waiting for a break in the conversation where I can direct you to our main office. I make no real decisions, and that's the way (uh-huh uh-huh) I like it.

For once, Angela's frustration does not mirror my own. Okay, maybe I needed to channel my frustration to get to this point. Either way, this is a pose for Issue 18 that I'm pretty happy with.

Another relic from 2004 and pre-production on The Underburbs. This is another nugget that displays Angela's videogamey roots. Yes, long ago, I thought to myself, what if I made a video game about my unnamed witch character? Never mind that to this day I have zero programming skills. It's even more of a pipe dre...

So here's Winifred being a standard villain instead of the complex, misguided, lonely figure we see today. This was supposed to be her way of exacting some sort of punishment on Hammer for being untrustworthy. Some sort of spooky, inverted-candle ceremony results in a tail being added to Hammer's body. The tip of the tail is act...

I know I'm late to the party on this one, but I just binge watched One Punch Man on Netflix. I liked most of it. The parts that deal with OPM's depression and emptiness are the best. But I feel Japan has a different sense of irony than the West. Like, how far can you parody something before becoming the thing you're trying to pa...

Here's Dead Duck doing his afore-mentioned skeleton plucking. I was going to mention that this drawing was nearly ten years old. Then I realized that was just the date it was last modified. It actually thirteen years old. Two-thousand-freakin'-four. I drew this in cheapo Pilot pens (I use cheapo Microns now!), then colored b...

Angela reenacts the infamous Violet Beauregarde scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I always avoided this in the Magic Lessons on DeviantArt because it's so specific to that movie, and there are already plenty of folks who specialize in turning people into blueberries. But that didn't stop me from churning one out ...

Once again, it's Meg! I first laid eyes on some cute redhead just over 20 years ago when I was looking at art schools. A few months later, we were a couple. (A couple of what? har har har) This is what she looks like on this bright, sunny day (in black) before I take her to work.
People who know both of us say that my cha...
I'd be remiss if I didn't make a response to Wren's age switcheroo with Angela, Winifred, and Bel. ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/mothers-day-11174080 )
This will probably skew the girls' feelings towards children in the future.
Dead Duck has never been seen in the pages of The Underburbs, but I've had multiple cancelled plans for him. In earlier planning stages, I pictured Winifred as a Rita Repulsa figure, sending Monsters of the Week to cause havoc in the human world. Dead Duck was actually an animated hunk of graveyard soil (with headstones for a bi...

This may not be my first aged-down Angela, but it might just be the cutest.

A little harmless flirtation never hurt anyone, though it may mortify Angela. I was going for Peg Bundy when I drew this, but I'm happy to settle for Peg Pete from Goof Troop.

Don't forget about stepmoms this Mother's Day! Even Abigail tries sometimes, and Winifred can be gracious enough to recognize that.

So much of the Underburbs cast has had their fun with queening about, but poor, hard-working, single mom Rosemary hasn't gotten her moment in the sun yet. With Mother's Day just around the corner, I think she deserves it.

Today was a rough morning all around. My co-worker couldn't open the store because her boyfriend's car was impounded over state lines. So I had to come in on what was once my day off. I also needed to drive my girlfriend to her train, which we of course missed. My dreams of catching the matinee of Guardians 2 were dashed. But am...

Here is the sketch of a piece I did on DeviantArt a while back. It's Winifred changing from her usual impertinent countess self to a very large and very much in charge empress. The original is here: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Vampres...

I tried to knock out a crayon Winifred the other night at Flatbread, but the service was so fast that I was only able to do a bust.

Looks like Epochra's been fiddling around in the Underburbs universe! Both of them know what's going on, but only one is having fun with it.

She's a demon who uses her command over the flow of time exclusively to mess with the ages/time periods of mortals. Whether a Freaky Friday-esque swap or a full-on group rearrangement, she lives for shenanigans. She's got a watch with a minute hand, millennium hand, and an eon hand.

I may not be able to slap Kirby in the face with a paint brush, but I was able to draw him for the duration of the song while whistling and holding my phone. I'm a true renaissance man when you think about it.

I know I missed the actual date, but I wanted to wish a happy 25th to good ol' Kirby. I tried to draw it as quickly as the intro to Kirby's Adventure, but it didn't quite pan out. My dried-up Hi-Liter coloring makes him look a little bit like the Dream Land 3 incarnation.

Angela's transformation into a black and white 1930s cartoon was always one of my favorite Magic Lessons. I think both the ending and its epilogue were done for my own enjoyment and not commissioned by anyone. Angela's design was very broad, but I also had fun going a bit more referential with an extremely Betty-Boop-inspired Wi...

Well, it took longer than I hoped, but I got back on the Underburbs horse, and finalized the design for Rachel, the sexy burglar. She kinda looked liked Frank Miller's Elektra in the sketch, so I tossed in some arms with sais after the fact.

Here's Winifred in her in-app duds. Angela and Winifred both require creative use of eyebrows to make their Miis even remotely accurate. Sadly, there is no way to put a nose high enough on the forehead to extend Win's widow's peak.

Hey, remember Miitomo? I have a couple Underburbs Miis, so I thought I'd draw them in what they're currently wearing.
