the science project #54

this episode titled "bright lights, big city" was drawing in late march 2010. this idea was an older one that i only just completed because i had a few other ideas on how to draw it. one way was to have the guy explaining himself in an interrogation room. another was to have a girl talking about how she was once arrested for this little misunderstanding. this time i thought i'd let the girls off the hook and use a male character. this time only, though. ha ha ha.

the dregs #41

this episode was done in late march 2010. it's a new joke that hit me while i was watching a political talk show - the topic was obviously the passing of the new health care bill. the joke came at the perfect time too. i was struggling to work out some of my pending ideas. i hope i don't need to be bailed out like that again!

the dregs #40

this episode was drawn early/mid march 2010. it was an old joke idea i had, but wasn't sure how to deliver it in one panel. finally, i said "screw it. i'm going to do it how it needs to be done." aside from sounding like folksy down home wisdom, it was the right thing to do. and after i finished it, i thought that maybe The Dregs could be better told in a format like this and make it into a comic book - something like American Splendor. we'll see.

the science project #53

this episode titled "suicidal tendencies" was drawn in early march 2010. i recently quit smoking by taking wellbutrin vs the other non-smoking aid chantix. if you didn't already know, both of these drugs have suicide as a side effect. obviously, suicide is not funny, but it is when it's the side effect of a non-smoking drug. "he be a corpse, but at least he finally kicked that disgusting habit!"

the dregs #39

this episode was drawn in early march 2010. it's an old idea, but i was going through my book-o-ideas and it made me laugh. i was going to make the guy asking for a job not have any arms at all, or hooks for hands, or something like that. unfortunately, that didn't even seem believable for a comic. i think this way works best.

the science project #52

this episode, titled "take a left on the highway to hell and take it all the way down", was drawn in early march. i got this idea from a friend on facebook. i said something about how i needed to "get my damned car window fixed." she asked if that required a mechanic or an exorcist. i said it required a pencil and paper because i need to write that down. enjoy!
