I’m working on new two-color story to be published via risograph for the fall. It’s an autobiographical tale based on a strange event on my sixth birthday. It will be serialized here first once a few more pages are done. I tend to work on these things from the middle – out.

You should be so lucky. (From my sketchbook)
Gimmie that old time religion,
Gimmie that old time religion,
Gimmie that old time religion,
It's good enough for me.
Let us worship Aphrodite,
Even though she's kinda flighty,
And she doesn't wear a nightie,
But that's good enough for me.

Chronically depressed stoner Chadley Fowler is visited on Christmas Eve by three ghosts. Same tune - different words, dude! Runs 30 pages - twice per week - through February. Start right here. Not recommended for Calvinists.

Here’s my new comic book, The NIXON MUSEUM. It’s the second MY OWN PETARD collection. It premieres at SPX 2013 as well as the Locust Moon Comics Fest.
SYNOPSIS: Art Baxter visits the Nixon Museum, where absurd images of the disgraced 37th president of the United States abound. Once there, memories of the turbulent 1968 presidential election bloom as he encounters his old elementary school frienemy, Kurt Dortmund. This crazy obsessive odyssey includes an intermission for a bathroom break.
Color cover & b&w interior – 48 pages – 7.5 x 7
