Mano, Hand Of Fate





Four pages of Mano, Hand Of Fate which I contributed to the anthology zine Annex Comics #1, available through Annex Comics here in Newport, RI!  The title of the character is a riff on the old horror movie from the '60s, Manos, The Hands Of Fate, which allegedly is one of the worst films ever made.

Announcing Tolerable Tales Of The Adequate #1



I printed up a mini-comic of a comic I had started for a 24-hour comics event a couple years ago for sale at the Annex Psychic Fair and Art Expo. Come on down tomorrow and check us out.

Issue one is 24 pages,  5.5" x 8.5".  One hundred issues were printed.  Stay tuned for the next one.

That moleman looks familiar...

Just a sketch I found lurking on the computer.

OSDOK



From week 154, the theme was:
With the recent announcement that Ben Affleck will be playing Batman in the next Batman movie, this week’s theme will be really odd superhero movie casting. Suggest an odd actor or celebrity for a role in a superhero film as either a superhero or a supervillain. Cher as Batman, Zach Galifianakis as the Joker, that sort of thing.
Twitter follower, anaustincampion suggested: @pattonoswalt as MODOK per the suggestion of @ThisAmerLife.  Love them both so it was a simple decision.

Wolverine And Alpha Flight: "Oh... Canada!"



From week 159, the theme was:
In honor of the debut of its SEVENTEENTH (!) season, mash-up comic book characters with South Park characters (a theme I have no idea how we have never managed to do over the years)
Twitter follower, hundbot suggested: Alpha Flight and Wolverine drawn like the Canadians on @SouthPark.  Many thanks to my friends Phillip Andrews, John Holt, Julien Koetsch, and Keith Vincent for lending their talents in such a short period of time.  Beer is on me.

Sam The "Captain American" Eagle



From week 152, the theme was:
Team-ups or mash-ups of comic book characters and Muppets!
Twitter follower, notwedge suggested: Sam Eagle and Captain America.  I have quite a few favorite Muppets, but Sam the Eagle, the network sensor and liaison to the Muppet Show, was always fun, especially with his American bravado, disdain for what he deemed unmoral skits, and overall conservative grumpiness.  The hard part here was trying to catch his voice and manner of speaking while poking fun at the content of The Line It Is Drawn.
