The Haunting

Boo!

My apologies; this took me much, much longer than expected. But, I think it turned out alright. I hope you agree.

Happy Halloween!

Make Your Own Party

Costumes!

I don't know about you, but I had a blast making this one. That's due in large part to the new Photoshop. I know I'm WAY behind the times, but I've just started using it and I can't get enough of this software. I've been using a third-party, sort-of shareware system that wasn't bad (in fact, it was quite good) but didn't give me the freedom nor the technology to really attack the strip the way I want. But now I'm with Photoshop, and I'll never look back. If you notice the difference, I hope you it's something you like. If you don't, that's cool. Either way, I'm glad you're here.

I wanted to do this eerie, 2-part, zombie thing this year (take it a little less from the Lil' Abner, campy stuff and bring it into some darker material) but I didn't have the time nor resources. So maybe look for that next year... if you dare...

Who likes the costumes!? They'll be many more next week. My favorite costume this week is hands-down Natalie as Dr. Horrible. Fun to draw and what a cool costume idea, in general. It suits her. Maybe I have an early, digital sketch of her, so I could get the look just right. Maybe I'll post it tomorrow on the facebook page. Maybe you'll have to wait and see.

Next Week: More Costumes!

Parents and Children

CONFRONTATION!

I had a blast yesterday at the New York Comic Con. I could only attend yesterday's extravaganza - and I know I missed a lot - but it was so amazing to fill my day with comics, artists, and community. Or, as a friend put it, it was a geekfest. And how geeky and festive it was.

I met a lot of cool, independent comic artists. Some of my favs were:

• Comix Tribe: Home of some awesome independent comics, including "Epic," "Scam," and "The Standard."
• A.G.E. Studios: As they put it, "the world's most phenomenal creative team." I wouldn't dispute that in the least.
• Frombie: A comic about friendly zombies! Fun art and cool toys.

More updates about the con will come soon on my other blog: Stairway to Broadway. Including pictures! Yay!

Next Week: More fun. More family. More [harbor].

Lates!

The Fantastic Friendship that is Candle-Boo and Morning Moo! in "Rhymes with Friendship"

Friendship! It's the perfect blendship!

Hope you all like Candle-Boo and Morning Moo. 'Cause they aren't going anywhere.

Had to put this up as early as possible, because I have two callbacks this Wednesday! One for a company's whole season and the other for "She Loves Me" in Brooklyn. So...it'll definitely be an adventure, something I've never experienced before. Wish me luck.

And yes, oh yes, I will be updating my other blog: Stairway to Broadway. Let me get through Wednesday and then you'll absolutely see new updates. Pictures, even!

Next Week: The [for-real] battle royale header between Liz and her mom. Promise.

Lates!

No Post

No new comic today. My apologies. Life got the better of me.

Wednesday. A new comic will plop Wednesday. I promise.

The Fantastic Friendship that is Candle-Boo and Morning Moo! in "Where Are Boo?"

They're back!

It seems that the moment October rolled into town so did Autumn. I love it. Nothing calms the mind like a cool, crisp wind.

This week's two-word phrase: "No rush." Try it right now, for free!

Next Week: Liz and her mother CLASH in one final, glorious battle! My money's on her mom.

Until Then,
