Random Humans: Male Ginger
Card #7 in the Random Humans series I created this card in 2014, about 10 years ago. I don’t think “Ginger” is offensive at this point. We’ll see in another 10 years. Front of card: Back of Card: Random Humans #7“Male Ginger” After I drew this, I thought to myself, “Is ‘Ginger’ a derogatory term?”… — read more

Random Humans: Pouty-Faced Chick
Card #6 in the Random Humans series Front of card: Back of Card: Random Humans #6“Pouty-Faced Chick” The Pouty-Faced Chick is an odd sort. Normally, she dons a slight pout but, when she puts her big sunglasses on, the pout amplifies. She’s hard to read and tough to impress. When I encounter the Pouty-Faced Chick,… — read more

Oddballs: Angry Troll (an Oddballs Fake Cover)
Yet another fake magazine cover. The last one, “Fashionable Mongoose Magazine” was HUGE among the mongoose community! According to my metrics, 17 mongooses… mongoossi… whatever, 17 of them liked my post! Let’s see how many trolls will like this post across all the socials.

Oddballs: Choose-A-Caption “Cat Suitcase”
I use comics like these as exercises to write gags. Not every caption is a keeper – sometimes none are – but it’s a good exercise to work out those mental writing muscles. As any artist worth his/her salt will tell you, there are exponentially more pieces created in the practice phase than final products.… — read more

Oddballs: Mr. Pumpkinhead
Myths and legends make life more interesting and romantic. No, I’m not saying that Pumpkinhead is a romantic figure, but the stories give a sense of romance to life; wonder, and imagination. And, yes, if there were actually an evil man with a pumpkin for a head, I would not feature him. Yet, there is… — read more

Oddballs: Stardust
This feature was one that I changed dramatically after creating it. I pass my comics by my wife before presenting them to the public so she can tell me if I’m off base or not. In this case, the original struck her as somewhat lewd in nature and containing suggestive euphemisms… although I had no… — read more

Oddballs: More Weirdo Trading Cards (From Issue #13)
This is a follow-up to “Weirdo Trading Cards” from issue #9. I didn’t do backgrounds in these for the simple reason that I didn’t have time. With backgrounds, you have to pencil them and then ink them. Sure, they’re great to have, but if they don’t add to the image, why have them? Also, these… — read more

Oddballs: Ms. Macabre, Matchmaker
I didn’t know where I was going with this one after I wrote the title. Part of my brain leaned towards vampires, but I thought that vampires are pretty much known for their romantic endeavors. Also, you never hear of a vampire having trouble getting a date. Zombies, on the other hand… Hear it! — read more
