SHRUB Part 2






Roughs for 1st Mr. Job Creation strip






These are about full size, done after my initial thumbnails, done very small on letter sized paper. These were sent to the folks at Job Creation, a GREAT non-profit dedicated to putting our ailing country back to work. They were approved and are being put on their site right now and are on Facebook under Job Creation US, Mr. Job Creation and Melvin Shmuck. Please check out this organization at www.jobcreation.us

The Sovereign continues to grow in readers and advertisers.




These were the 1st I did in color with watercolor pencils and markers as opposed to Photoshop.

Old Web-Comic, SHRUB

This is Part 1 of an earlier strip from the long-gone Geocities site, a WACKY POKE at those silly folks in Washington.
I will be adding more to my blog soon.

What Was I Thinking?, continued...

I will admit if I could have just drawn (and scripted if not actually wrote) this strip without having being used as some kinda patsy for someone else's faith(?) I would have kept doing it, provided I got paid a fair rate and held half the copyright. Actually, now that I think about it, I DO own half of the copyright, I just got put-off by not being allowed the American right of freedom of religion. We should have the right to freedom FROM religion, shouldn't we? For the record, I drank 2 glasses of wine while posting this and do not feel any dumber than normal.






What was I Thinking? version 716B

Years ago I was approached by I guy who I thought was a harmless eccentric, and asked to develop a web-comic for his church. I needed the dough so I said yes. Little did I realize he was trying to convert / indoctrinate / whatever me into his fold. The strip was called "Messenger Man". I think I did a good job on the art, and I really wrote the whole thing under his "guidance"
