Rated PG for Cartoon Violence

Watchin' cartoons with Chris and Lauren.

With this one I wanted to what would happen if I extended the comic for one panel past what would be the punchline.

Not much, huh?

(BTW: Sophie's favorite seemed to be this one)

Tymothi Godek Presents:Copout Comics Volume One

This is not the comic I wanted for today. I found myself unable to draw the "real" comic - it just came out looking like crap - so I dashed this one off instead. When in doubt, do a comic about how you can't do a comic.

Yeah, this is pretty much the caliber of conversation we have at work...

A Room with a View...

Well, I spent way too much time on this. I was trying some digital effects that I'm not sure played out well. I think I'm proudest of the fact that I drew this entirely at work, from memory, and it still looks like my actual kitchen.

here's the original:


and for fun, the digital sketch version:

Adventures Into Digital(ly created) Comics

Just playing around with my new toy. It's my very first Wacomic, so be kind.

Happy Belated Golden Birthday, Rachelle!

Everybody wish my beautiful wife a happy birthday today! She and the daughter she's given me are the two best things that have ever happened to me. I'm sure glad she was born.

I hope I can help to make your day special, Rachelle. I love you very much.

umm... Baby Steps

To tell you the truth, all these animals are starting to get us down

On Manners

Snacktime

I WIN!

This year for my birthday I decided to have a big slice of bitter humor with a tall cool glass of in poor taste. Dead at 27 is a rock and roll legend that some date back to Robert Johnson and his deal at the crossroads. That's actually a small part of a much larger story I've been collecting notes on the past few years (and, in all honesty, will probably never be written - ah, well). This gag has been kind of distilled from that.

Anyway, happy birthday to me.

Rejected Garage Sale ads

That's right. We are having a Garage Sale today. It's goying on RIGHT NOW!!! And don't be scared off by what I said above. I was just kidding, haha! All of our crap stuff quality merchandise is TOP NOTCH!! If you're in the area then come on down and feel free to give me some money!

a small mystery

And happy birthday to Shannon!

Everybody's a comedian...

Did I say that I wouldn't be inking things here for a while?
Well, well... I do say things like that.

Like Good Humorexcept neither "good," nor really "humor"

At work, they give us popsicles when it gets really hot.

Nice of them...

Because I haven't done a Sophie post in a while...

Back to just pencils again. I had fun playing with the brush for Futureman, but I didn't really like the inks (with a Micron brushpen) on the last post and there's a certain unfinished charm to the pencil work that fits the "sketch-blog" idea. This is probably how most of these posts will be, for a while.

File Under: It Really Happened

Mom and Dad were in town for a visit this weekend. Dad told me the story. (Dad, you kind of had to see this one coming, huh?)

(Author's note: While the dialogue depicted is accurate as far as my knowledge allows, the role portrayed by "answering machine" in this mystery-play was actually meted out in real-life by "phone with voice-message service," I believe. Dad remains as Dad.)

The FUTUREMAN Saga: EpilogueAll's Well That Ends Well

(Hey, Chris! The story starts here.)



(to previous strip)

Music for this strip: Half Japanese's Bone Head record.

Well, that's it for the FUTUREMAN saga. Hope you enjoyed it. Will this truly be the end of Futureman? No one can tell for sure. The Future is Futuristical is, of course, a joint project open to anyone. Feel free to use any of these characters, as I have made liberal use of other's. Everyone should do at least one Futuristical strip. Even you! Just let TedPrior know when you've done one.

Back to my boring old present-day life next, I guess. I've got a backlog of journal-type strips to draw after this two week futuristical detour.

FUTUREMAN:The Power of Positive Thinking

(Hey, Chris! The story starts here.)



(to previous strip---to next strip)

Actually, the Future is starting to look not so Futuristical in this one.

Music is Jane's Addiction, Ritual De Lo Habitual. Hank Rollins goes on and on about how great a live band they were and how that spirit was never captured on record, but I never saw them live so this is all I got.

Happy Birthday Chris!
