The first inklings of Truckstop’s disturbing(ly sexy?) origin! More soon. I’m trying to stay as close as possible to my planned update schedule, and there actually is something like a plan for these comix now, so stick with it.
The hopefully auspicious debut of what I plan to be a major new character. Next installment planned for Wednesday.
I figured I’d post this since it’s closer to the way that I originally drew it, and I’m actually not sure if this looks better colored or not. The reason I colored it, or one of the reasons, is that this is meant to be part of the cover for an upcoming issue that I’m working on. It’s supposed to be called Damaged Goods, and I’ll post more about it soon.
I put together this new version of an older drawing for this last Wondercon, which went pretty well by the way. I’m told the panel I appeared on was filmed and will be on YouTube, so I’ll see about posting that here as it comes up.
For anybody out there who thinks that this comic is too graphic or goes too far, rest assured: it’s actually the start of an ongoing storyline. Maybe I can get some sort of XTube sponsorship deal going here…
This comic, of course, was originally meant to be posted sometime in early January, and as that date passed I considered not finishing it or using it, but as it started to look like the date when I’d start posting new comics on here again was going to be this late in the year, the comic took on a new meaning for me and started to feel like an appropriate metaphor for the drama that’s kept me from posting more for the last several months. Plus, I still felt like it was funny, and there’s a subtle hint in there about where the relationship between Rickets and Prester the bear will be going. New comic should be up on Wednesday, so check back!
OK, coming up, if anybody’s curious, I’m going to be appearing in a few different capacities at Wondercon. If you’re gonna be in the Bay area that weekend or are already planning to come to the show, you should check me out! First I’m gonna be appearing in a panel on Friday, April 2nd which is set to have the following lineup:
Friday, April 2nd 3:30-4:30 Room 220-224
Queers, Comedy, and Camp: LGBT Humor Comics
From campy gag strips to witty graphic novels, LGBT humor has
flourished in comics, tackling issues such as coming out, identity
politics, relationships, and the vagaries of gay culture. Brian
Andersen (So Super Duper), Ed Luce (Wuvable Oaf), Sean Seamus McWhinny
(Diary of a Catering Whore), Joey Alison Sayers (Thingpart), and Rick
Worley (A Waste of Time) are joined by moderator Patty Jeres (Prism
Comics Co-President) for a spirited discussion.
I’m actually very flattered to have been invited by the talented and incredible Justin Hall, so I’m excited to do it.
After that on Friday I’m gonna be at the Prisim comics booth for an hour, 5-6, with, I’m told, Ed Luce. The next day I’m going to be at the booth again for two hours with the talented and adorable (Not that Justin Hall isn’t also adorable) Rene Capone, where we’ll be signing our comics and also showing off pages from our upcoming collaboration that we’ve been working on for a while now. So, if you’re curious about any of that, be sure to check us out. Rene will also be appearing on a panel Saturday afternoon which is set to have the following line-up:
Saturday, April 3rd 11:30-12:30 Room 220-224
Homegrown: Bay Area LGBT Comics
The San Francisco Bay Area was instrumental in the birth of queer
cartooning, and its wealth of artistic and social experimentation,
diversity, and underground comics nourishes a vibrant scene to this
day. Explore the legacy and future of LGBT comics in the Bay Area with
Rene Capone (The Legend of Hedgehog Boy), Jon Macy (Teleny), Desmond
Miller (Hansel and Gretel: Agents of the Coven), Christine Smith (Eve’s
Apple), Tristan Crane (How Loathsome), Mary Wings (Come Out Comix), and
moderator and Prism Comics’ board member Justin Hall (Glamazonia).
So check that out too. Rene’s comics are awesome, as are his paintings, and there are some other great people on that panel.
After which, Monday April 5th is set to be the grand re-launch of this website, with new content finally hopefully posting again at regular Monday, Wednesday, Friday intervals again for the forseeable future, so come back and check it out!
