Oddballs: The Artist Behind the Art
I’ve often wondered if the cavemen who did the cave art all those eons ago knew the concept of “art” or if it was merely a communication or documentation method. Stylistically, it’s beautiful in its upfront depictions and storytelling. It’s like a good comic in that way. Here’s a video! — read more

Oddballs: Doozney’s Polkahontas
I have mixed feelings about Disney’s “Pocahontas.” On one hand, it’s got great art style and animation (which Disney 2D animation movie doesn’t?), and it has a couple of good songs. On the other hand, it’s got a bunch of sub-par songs and takes some drastic creative liberties. That said, I’ve only seen it once… — read more

Oddballs: Cover (From Oddballs #17)
If you don’t subscribe to the printed version of Oddballs, this cover doesn’t make sense. What I mean is, as with pretty much all the covers, it’s referencing one of the features inside. This is where you realize that subscribing to the printed version of Oddballs is the smartest thing for any human to do!… — read more

Oddballs: Snorts Illustrated (an Oddballs Fake Cover)
When I was a teenager, I eagerly anticipated the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Yes, I was a red-blooded American teenage boy. Guilty! Although, in all honesty, I haven’t picked up an issue since I was a teenager. There were about a few years when it was all the rage with me but I grew… — read more

Oddballs: I was a Teenage Barbarian
This was obviously influenced (and, to some extent, a satire of) Sergio Aragonés’ “Groo the Wanderer.” Groo the Wanderer is, by far, my favorite comic of all time. In fact, it’s pretty much the ONLY comic I’ve read throughout my life (since discovering it, of course). I’ve read other comics here and there, but none… — read more

Oddballs: The Hobo
I posted this image of this particular comic as a work-in-progress: A friend on Facebook (and IRL, for that matter) commented that the word “hobo” may be making an exodus from our collective lexicon; implying that the work may be derogitory. Perhaps. I guess time will tell. Yet, in my mind a hobo is different… — read more

Oddballs: Dancing Goats
After drawing this comic, I asked myself, “Why on earth did I think of dancing goats? Where did that come from?” I think it came from two places: The latter is close to home since my Mom (God rest her soul) told me a story about my grandpa (her father) and how he used to… — read more
