Sad

I’ve had some really weird dreams lately. Most of them are about regrets. I wonder if this is what happens when you hit the “half-way” point in your life. Or perhaps it’s some sort of weird, mental, defense mechanism. Right now, the wife and I are on a tangent of bad luck. Each new weekend, [...]

BFF* update

* Big Fat Fuzzy
Hydrox has been on his new meds for a week and he’s doing great! He no longer has labored breath and appears to be putting on weight. What a relief!

My BFF* is sick

* Big Fat Fuzzy
I noticed over the last week or so that my cat, Hydrox, has not been himself. Well, when I went to let him out this morning, I noticed his breathing was labored and he was extremely lethargic. A quick trip to the vet confirmed the worst… Hydrox is in the early [...]

WNC #2 – Preview doodle

Here’s a doodle I whipped up last week for my next WNC. Booger-man is an old super-hero I had in grade school back when I was drawing comics on notebook paper. In those days, he used to be called “Mucus Man” but was still my Spidey parody. The origin story is as [...]

WNC #1 – “I scream, you scream…”

Whew… my first Wednesday Nite Challenge is done!
Sorry it took so long to get the pencils inked. Life threw me a couple of curve-balls this weekend, but here we are! I think I need to tweak the “line” I’m using in Expression. I’m afraid the grainy line quality might be a little too [...]

Wednesday challenge #1

To get myself back into cartooning, I’m setting a weekly challenge. Each Wednesday when I meet with the Artists in Hamtramck, I’m going to do a piece of comic art… 4-panel strip, small-press art, etc. I’ll do as much as I can that night then polish, scan and post it the next day.
I already have [...]

“If this one doesn’t scare you, you’re already dead!”

I picked up a fondly remembered movie on DVD the other day. “What movie,” you ask nervously. If you’ve noticed the tag for this post, “Cinema Du Fromage,” then you know it’s gonna be good! The movie is the 1979 classic from Don Coscarelli, “Phantasm,” courtesy of Anchor Bay Entertainment. I used to watch this [...]

My brother comes home

Today, my brother and some members of his reserve unit came home from Iraq. He arrived at Toledo Express airport at 1:00 P.M. to waving flags and signs saying “Welcome Home Tom,” etc. We couldn’t be happier.
Welcome home Tom. I’m glad you’re back.

Spider-Man 3… Why Sam, why?

Well, True Believers… it has happened. Spider-Man has stumbled or should I say Sam Raimi has stumbled? The family and I saw Spider-Man 3 on Friday night at the Showcase Cinema in Ann Arbor. We were all looking forward to seeing it and why not? The other Spider-Man movies were great and well cast, IMHO.
Eric, [...]
