Don't name him, just jab a hook in his face

Another hit and run post because that is what happens when you start work at 10pm - you choke when you have to come up with blog filler.

Nobody's having sex and someone's yelling

Just stopping in to post a screen grab to show that work continues at Brigonos Towers* on a comic that was completely finished four years ago...

* I do not call my house this.

This is the most unfun threesome I've ever been a part of

Still on the retro kick, only three or so more pages of rejigging and then I can give up entirely and go back to heavy drinking during the day.  Sorry - thinking out loud again.  I really should stop typing it out after these thoughts occur to me, or at the very least just delete what I've already written.  Anyway - a couple more pages and hopefully I can put this turkey to bed and move onto the next pitch...

I ain't no grown up, I'm a musician, god-damn it

If Jim Campbell is reading this, the lettering is supposed to look this terrible - honest, I've been paying attention!

I am here to dominate the men

Still drawing anachronistic kids comics - or rather re-drawing them.  Editing something I did ages ago is an odd experience, seeing what I would have done differently if I was doing it now - mostly it's technical stuff like using grids to create better perspectives or using smaller brush sizes or image resolution to create less jaggies, but the script gets tweaked, too.

so desperate for money I've snuck into fountains at night and stolen the wishes of children

I do not know if it is a good or bad thing that I have forgotten how to draw as badly as I used to, but I am nonetheless redrawing old comics in the style of my younger, less experienced hands to get those old comics ready for people to actually read, rather than just illustrating twenty pages of vaguely-linked scenes and calling it a story like I usually do when I want something to use for swapsies with other small pressers seeing as I don't actually have any money to pay for indy comics but still want to read them, especially now that I seem to be going off superhero comics again as I periodically do - though paradoxically, this seems to be when I end up attempting to make my own superhero comics with wilfully daft names like Turbo Katie or Cannibal Salad, even though I keep telling myself I'm supposed to be taking the drawing dead serious these days and shouldn't be mucking about with stuff that's clearly for a laugh like comics are fun or something.
