Cut comic - "Static"

Early Comic - "Linear Causality"

The Other Little Gary in Dream Land

Hey Patreon pals!

As my latest storyline, "Little Gary in Dream Land", comes to a close, it's time to reflect back on what might've been (and what might've been way better than you ended up getting).

Today, while I was looking over some ideas I'd jotted down for future storylines, I came across some ideas for "Litt...

Early Comic - "Little Gary in Dream Land: Pt35"

Early Comic - "Little Gary in Dream Lad: Pt30"

I will be insanely thrilled when they leave this stupid volcano. I'm ready to draw something else.

Background

So for "Little Gary in Dream Land Pt11", I figured it would be easiest to draw one background to use for all 4 panels. There's always the risk that some of the drawing will be wasted, but the advantage is that I can keep the colors consistent across the whole thing.

Anyway, here's a look at the whole thing.

Early Comic - "Little Gary in Dream Land: Pt 6"

Here's a peak at tomorrow's comic (even though I don't actually have today's comic done yet....)

Unfinished AND Cut Comic

Sometimes when I'm brainstorming comics, I'll think of a funny concept, write the beginning of a comic around that idea, and then I just hope that I'll think of a funny enough way to wrap it up. But sometimes that doesn't work out so well.
This is one of those times.

By the way, if you think of a funny way to end this ...

Early Comic - "Premium Comic"

Dreamland

I've been trying to figure out a way to inject a little more surrealism into The Other End. And what's more surrealistic than dreams?? Nothing!!!!

So I was thinking of making a number of sporadically paced storylines involving the gang's various dream adventures. Some examples might be Freddie becoming a fighter pilot, Gary be...

March Q&A: The As

Cut Comic - "The Shave"

I thought about drawing this one up for awhile, but decided against it.

For one, a number of people think that Guy is Barry's dad, rather than his brother. (which might make this comic confusing)

But more importantly, the theme is kinda off topic and the joke is weak. And while I might let one of those things slide, toge...

What I've been working on...

Lately I've been pretty busy working on the Tapas 30-Day Writing Challenge, where writers submit the first bit of a prospective novel, and the top three winners get their books published on the Tapas App.

So my wife and I submitted an adventure story we've been working on, and I thought I might share the first episode with you...

From start to finish

Here's a look at my drawing process, from conceptial sketching to shadows and lettering.

Cut Comic - "The Kite"

I came up with this one awhile back, but never finished it for a few reasons. 

First off, it's a little confusing, which is never good for a bait and switch comic. Even simple ones get misunderstood pretty frequently.

 Second, the whole kite thing doesn't really fit with the season.

 And finally, it ...

Some random lines...

When I'm brainstorming a new comic, I usually come up with some lines that don't really fit anywhere. They're either not funny enough to base a whole comic around, or require too specific of a setup. 

Nevertheless, I always save them, with the plan to stick 'em into a later comic. Unfortunaly, that usually doesn't  w...
