Live Before We Die

EXPOSITION!

Had a great time at New York Comic Con this past weekend! I met some great artists and brilliant webcomics. Here are a couple of my favorites...

- JL8: http://www.jl8comic.tumblr.com - a funny, endearing webcomic about what would
happen if Superman, Batman, and a host of other superheroes from the DC Universe
went to elementary school together.

- hashtag the planet: http://www.hashtagtheplanet.com - a sweet, single-panel emo
webcomic. At times clever, at times funny, at times heart-breaking, but always smart and
with lots & lots of heart.

Check them out!

The weekend was filled with meeting designers, artists, authors, and creative whirlwinds. I even met the writer and artist of my favorite comic growing up, Young Justice: Peter David and Todd Nauck. I remember that comic as the first I followed from beginning to end. I grew up with those heroes. So, to meet the creative forces behind the comic was a pretty big deal for me. Peter David was a fountain of knowledge & humor, and Todd Nauck was a true gentleman. But, I must say, the best person I met was Todd's wife, Dawn. Bubbly, kind-beyond-all-measure, and with a love for her husband I have not seen since Singin' in the Rain, Dawn was my favorite part of the Con, by far.

Thanks to every person I met, every friend I went with, every panel I attended (including the Firefly 10th anniversary special with Sean Maher, Jewel Staite, and one Nathan Fillion), and every cosplayer I took a photo of for making this one great Con. I'm already counting down the days until next year...

Look Who's Evil Now

TRICK OR TREAT!!!

Thanks all for waiting a day for the comic to come out; MUCH has happened (including a few auditions, an appointment, and New York Comic Con starting). I hope you like the strip.

New York Comic Con starts TODAY! I'm so excited. Got a 4-day pass and all my geek gear ready. Gonna hobnob with the nerd elite! And pass out anti-perspirant. I'm doing a public service.

Tonight is the kick-off concert with Ben Folds Five! Fingers crossed I get in. Fingers crossed I don't die from excitement after seeing them.


NEXT WEEK: Who's evil NOW?!?!?! (probably more of the kids, I would say...)

P.S. If you DO like this strip, or a part of it, or the whole comic for that matter, please retweet or share links to the site through your facebook or blog. I'd love to share [harbor] with as many people as I can, and you're a big part in making that happen & keeping the family growing. So, if you haven't yet tweeted, posted, or facebooked the comic, please do so! And if you have: thanks.

When She Smiles

GRR!!

I really like how this one came out. And not just because Dee's costume is a 19th century gentleman.


NEXT WEEK: Is Lee an actual zombie? If so, what's going to happen to Dee? Really, WHY doesn't Lee have a costume on? Some of these questions will be answered! Perhaps.

Too Much Too Soon

Going back home next week for Thanksgiving. Very glad to be back with both of my families. I miss them terribly.

Next Week: Thanksgiving Feast!

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!

Lates,

Die Vampire, Die!

Next week, Jimmy quest for love continues...
