Something I found in my records while organizing the studio recently.
This is the statement of earning and expenditures for my first SLG Publishing comic, the Pirate Corp$! Special that kicked off the continuation of the series. The series had been canceled by Eternity Comics, and was picked up by Dan Vado/SLG the follo...

The re-mastered "Here They Come/There They Go!" 2-sided Milk & Cheese t-shirt is now available for purchase!
Mugs, merch, and other shirt options only feature the front design.
New design items are on sale and will be on discount for the next 48 hours or so.
Sarah's been working to revive the original two-sided "Look Out! Here They Come!/There They Go!" t-shirt for our Teepublic site. Originally released by SLG Publishing, a revised version -- sans beer cans and upraised middle fingers -- was sold in a small number of Hot Topic stores to test market sales.
Unlike SLG ...
2021-01-09 00:55:44 +0000 UTC View PostWell, that was a year.
Two projects fell into our laps in 2020 that helped make it a not-terrible year work-wise.
In 2019 Kurt Busiek brought us onto his Marvels: Snapshots project, with Sarah and I writing a one-shot Human Torch story. Benjamin Dewey was the artist, so we had the Beasts of Burden team, although w...

Only one panel left to go to fulfill the October portion of the program.
Thinking I might start doing a few panels to set some things up and/or connect some of these images. There are now 71 panels and only a few revisit an image or character. Have to make some sense of it somewhere at some point. Even if it's dre...

Towards us, or away from us?
Towards safety, or towards danger?

Sarah found the art files for the last two t-shirts we put out with SLG Publishing back in the day. She dusted them off and revised them a bit and they're now available at our Teepublic shop on shirts, stickers and whatever the heck else they're available on.
Teepublic is currently running a site-wide 35%-off sale. Appa...

My apologies for the relatively lengthy gap in posts. I've been catching up on some things while also catching up on some extra sleep.
Tonight I spent more time than I would have liked sending out a takedown notice to a tee-shirt site that swiped the new Milk & Cheese shirt. That's the sort of "invisible work"...

We now have two T-shirt designs available at Teepublic, the remastered Milk & Cheese "Gin" shirt, as well as the Devil Puppet shirt. Both designs are available on sweatshirts, hoodies, and long-sleeved T-shirts (among other styles) in multiple colors.

One step closer to getting the revised Gin shirt done. The scanned inks has been sent over to Sarah's computer for her to clean up and color. Will update soon, I hope.
While I'm here -- thank you to everyone for sticking with me for another month. And thanks to the folks who have recently joined as backers. It's really ...

The experiments have slowed down a little because of "life", but I've been putting time into the actual story that might connect most, if not all of these panels and images.
There is a definite theme in mind that I'm settled on. There's a few angles that I'm kicking around. The plot, or what will resemble a plot, ...

Unfortunately, there aren't many roughs or sketches in there. I mostly worked up PC$!/HP material through notes, I had the characters in my head and knew what the imagery would basically look like, give or take some design work done on the page.

One step closer to having this thing available again.
Need to straighten out the word "mean" a little.

Still not sure. Or sure what would have happened if I chose "Yes". I think they logged me out. It was strange. There were lights and a buzzing sound. Now I'm short six hundred and twelve dollars. Huh.

Was it something she saw..? Or did she just see...too deeply?
Or is something draining? Maybe it isn't as bad as it seems.
Maybe. I'm not sure.

Sarah and I provided a variant cover for the first issue, which is written by comedian Patton Oswalt (based on the Jeff Lemire/Dean Ormston superhero series). The second variant cover is by Gilbert Hernandez, so that's nice company to be ...

I had a few inquiries this past week about pages that weren't on the patented/pathetic "text-only" House of Fun original art list, so I went ahead and updated the list.
There are about 40 new pages on the list, including every Eltingville Club (and Northwest Comix Collective) page available. Also added to the list are t...

These cons were some of the most enjoyable I ever attended. They were small affairs-- taking place in the Ramapo High School gymnasium, put on by the school's enthusiastic comic club, attracting mostly locals and friends of the club. Sarah and I attended them pretty much up until Allan Rosenberg, the club director, moved to a...

This is probably my favorite issue of the series, I really love what Roger did here. There's also an Easter egg f...

I've been doing this for a year now, and hopefully it's obvious that I appreciate everyone here, and everyone who has been with me for some time, if not from the beginning. Your support has meant a lot to me, not only financially, but emotionally and has also meant a lot to my family being more secure than a year ago. Thanks ...

Holy smokes. I've been so scattered this past week or so that I didn't realize I had a finished Experiment panel sitting in the scanner for a few days. Yeesh.

Sometimes the pen leads you, and eventually it tells you that you're done. And there's a drawing, and you don't know what it really is.
