But I dreamed it, and it serves as a constant visual reminder that I am already sufficiently screwy enough WITHOUT requiring the assistance of any mind-altering drugs.

…which incidentally made things convenient for me anytime my previous employers needed me to take a drug test and needed a guaranteed pass.

No, laser beams won’t be shooting out of my eyes just yet.

It takes about a month to three months to totally heal… and then, look the FRAK out.

I’ll be totally killing anything i want just by looking at it.

At least that’s what the doctor says…

No… not that doctor. The shrink doctor.

Anyhow this cartoon might not make too much sense. But since I dreamed it, I HAD to draw it.

If you’ve spent enough time on a farm, you’ve probably been bitten and stung by everything imaginable in the wild… horseflies, wasps, hornets, beetles, and green snakes… But if you’re a migratory city slicker like these fellas… well, you simply don’t know any better.

If you’ve spent enough time on a farm, you’ve probably been bitten and stung by everything imaginable in the wild… horseflies, wasps, hornets, beetles, and green snakes… But if you’re a migratory city slicker like these fellas… well, you simply don’t know any better.

Okay, I think I have some ‘splaining to do about this strip. I did not make it necessarily to be funny, but it’s showed up as a situation in my dreams several times now.

This is my attempt to decipher what the hell went on in my warped subconscious, wrapped in a comic and mild social commentary. The ‘WTF’ look on my wife’s face after she saw this one was priceless. The ‘OHH I GET IT NOW’ look and agreeable rant bordering on an Objectivist clinic had me a bit scared, and on her end was probably in priceless territory as well. I don’t really have a freaking clue what any of that meant, so y’all could just ignore it. If anything, if even one person reads this and is like… “whoooaaaaa”… and then suddenly is inspired to take a stab at the Grand Unification Theory, then sweet. I’ve done my job. Whatever that might be.

Otherwise this page is here to provide sidebar-level proof that I am clinically insane should the need/opportunity present itself.

Hi everyone. This is a comic which features my new workflow to incorporate some snazzy backgrounds. There’s another strip which features them but this is my first stab at making the vector work part of the normal work process.

Hi everyone. This is a comic which features my new workflow to incorporate some snazzy backgrounds. There’s another strip which features them but this is my first stab at making the vector work part of the normal work process. I still have a ways to go, so some strips will still have the ‘blotchy-crappy’ style that I have been using so far. As I get more comfortable with vector process I’ll start using it more.

Also, the most important tip I can give you when caught up in a shit fight is DON’T OPEN YOUR MOUTH. Pity, as it is such a simple thing that so many people fail to fully grasp the concept of. Take it from me, someone who has actually be involved in a shit fight.

You’re welcome.

Thanks to my genetics, I will probably never be able to grow a beard. I would have to make it to 90 years old first, and at that point *poof* it pops out Fu Manchu style. But I guess this is the tradeoff for being able to have hair on the top of my head.]]> A legendary Imperial indeed
