Can You Dig It?

I battled a serious case of writer’s block today. I had roughed out 4 or 5 comic ideas but none of them ever gelled. Josh suggested I do a fart joke and be done with it. I didn’t want to cop out quite that hard, but as a tribute to my day of desperation and […]

The glorious return of Terry Colon (on my radar) !

Some ten years ago I was a great fan of Terry Colon’s work for Suck.com - I remember obsessively right-click-saved his cute-but-mean little drawings. His Filler comics especially still are the epitome of what the Web was all about when it was still edgy and new.
In my mind I must have equalled Suck with […]

The Graysons

This is getting yakked up all over the damn place, but it’s Wednesday and I’m tired and it feels good to just riff on something dumb and easy, so let’s have at it.
From Variety:

Holy prequel, Boy Wonder, the CW is prepping a series based on Batman sidekick Robin’s pre-Caped Crusader days.
“Smallville” exec producers Kelly Souders […]

H4H Takes on The Incredible Hulk and Wins!

Today we picked up one of the Incredible Hulk statues that Marvel has donated to us. As you can see from the pictures Hulk is huge! He stands 8′6 and is 6′6 accross. Chris Mettler, Clay Tuttle and Wynn Netherland all took time out of their day to come out and help […]

Nuke the Fridge at the 2008 Summer Failympics

I thought a good Triathlon for the Failympics would be a “Shark High Jump,” “Curve The Bullet Skeet Shooting” followed by the “400 m Fridge Nuke.” Maybe I should write a letter to the Failympic Committee.
Not that this comic makes ANY sense at all, I can try to offer some context:

“Nuke the Fridge” at UrbanDictionary.com […]

Anything can be true in Wingnut Land

Seriously, does this cartoon make any sense? I think it does, but you must live in Wingnut Land for you to get it.
I have come to believe that Wingnutters live in some sort of Roddenberrian universe of parallel realities all intersecting at once. How else can you explain their belief in so many wrong-headed “if […]

Marvel is Incredible!

It seems Marvel has a heart as big as the Incredible Hulk! I got word from a good friend of mine, Alex Muse, that Marvel will be donating two Hulk statues to H4H. We will be sending the statues out to our brave men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. I […]

2008 Stumptown Comics Fest

A hearty thank you to Jessie Grace and Andy (pictured above) for putting me up in Portland for the 2008 Stumptown Comics Fest. (You really ought to check out Andy’s righteous folk rock band Bark Hide and Horn!) Thanks also to Cal Wong and Hellen Jo for the continual inspiration and letting me tag […]

The Owly-caster rocks !

Here’s an piece of ephemera if ever there was one. Andy Runton, creator of the fantastic Owly (one of the favorites of the younger denizens of Sparehed Towers), just finished painting his own Owly Guitar, and what a piece of art it is !
This unique item will be auctioned of at SPX to raise […]

“500 Essential Graphic Novels: The Ultimate Guide” by Gene Kannenberg, Jr.

Hey, my brother - who has a PhD in comics scholarship and curates ComicsResearch.org - wrote a book, and it just got published this week! Everyone reading this should go to this link right now and use the Amazon link there to pick up a copy - and then pick up another copy or two […]
