My second FB&GATEOTW Conan parody cover. (Issue 99, "Man-Crabs of the Dark Cliffs!") Mine was a bit more... bothersome.
I think there's a shampoo for this...🤔

I did this Duck Tales / Thundercats mashup for a local art show in 2019. Someone wanted to buy it but after I quoted a reasonable price, they ghosted me. I've always hated the marker work. 😖

When I was working on FERAL BOY & GILGAMESH AT THE END OF THE WORLD, I did this drawing, a parody of the cover to Marvel's CONAN THE BARBARIAN issue 139 (my first Conan comic). I still haven't scanned and colored it... and I never will.

I woke up talking in my sleep again. I was describing Rome and Pompeii to my grandmother, Betty Jane. She died 14 years ago. So it's nice to know she's still around.

In the 80s there was a fictional "computer-generated" character called Max Headroom. The Doonsbury comic strip creator created Ron Headrest, a Reagan parody of said character. Today, the official WH site is posting AI videos of Don Headmess.

Why are all of the sitting president's Oval Office addresses AI generated now? At least the last three have been completely fake. You can tell the real ones because his body is slanted, he's 90% asleep, and his speech is slurpy.

The latest threat to Minneapolis is a direct result of a very real scrabble in the Felon's brain: He literally thinks that political asylum is the same as an "insane asylum." This is true. He thinks the global south has released armies of lunatics into our cities. Can't make it up.
