A lot of people are wondering what happened to the “golfball” radar in Pearl Harbor. I drew this sketch 10 years ago explaining it - lol ^_^

COMIC JAM HAWAII Drink & Draw was Marvel vs DC comics to celebrate the crossovers currently going on (like Batman & Deadpool). We had a randomizer choose the match up. My second sketch: Hulk vs Animal Man ^_^;
Lots of fun with @artildawn @gootie29 @banzaiboy

HEY, A NEW COMIC STRIP! Is it "Mura-Comix" or "Adventure with Zori"? (or maybe both!) 😊 Our cat, Zori, explores new spots after we tented the house for termites. Why is there a cement mixer here? Or should I ask, “Why don’t you have one?” 😊 Anyway, I knew this silly story had to be told!

Tonight’s COMIC JAM HAWAII Drink & Draw was Back to the Future celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year! I found a drawing I started last year and finally came up with a gag and colored it. 😊 (Hawaiian Time is a casual attitude for punctuality. Usually showing up late)

Had to rush a quick sketch because it's Sesame Street's 56th birthday today! I’ve had this pun for a while! I grew up watching a lot of Sesame Street as a kid! Happy 56th anniversary @sesamestreet for educating children for over half a century ^_^

1️⃣ Beavis & Butthead in 12 Years as a Slave
2️⃣ Lola Bunny in Hacksaw Ridge
3️⃣ Winnie the Pooh in The Hunt for Red October
4️⃣ Doraemon in Casablanca

#inktober2025 26 PUZZLING: The Firefly's fiery attack melted the ice and plunged into Arctic water, extinguishing himself. It's puzzling how the area melted but the heroes' spot didn't.

#inktober2025 24 ROWDY: Tjings have gotten extremely rowdy! The Firefly, with flaming hands, wildly attacks our two thieves! The Phantom Thief stays ahead on the towering monolith as chaos erupts, his fiery fists shattering the ice. He evades every blow, but Henchman 38 is less fortunate.

#inktober2025 18 DEAL: Many forced grins appeared during the handshake sealing the deal. Henchman 38's fake vase was unnoticed by The Walrus Crime Boss, who negotiated with Phantom Thief for info on the next treasure. Henchman 38 suspects both sides are taking advantage of each other.
