"The Wailing Wood". A quick comic from a couple years back; definitely the weirdest I've done, but I'm proud of it!

Transformers (Marvel US) #67: "Rhythms of Darkness!"
Two comic panels. In the first a man watches a monitor showing an American flag and says into a phone, "Control--I want this beamed across the globe! I want everyone to see America's still alive and fighting. Oh, and Control--" The man continues, "--Abort missile launch!" as a clock near midnight.

🐸 A bit from "Kaeru", a short story I did last year. palaciosworks.blogspot.com/2024/05/kaer...
Comic panel of a bartender calling out, "Ahem, excuse me! I'm sorry but, uh, it looks like we're out of drinks." A group of humanoid frogs stares back blankly. The bartender continues, "So...heh, about the bill..." The frog-men scramble in panic.

Fun fact: by the time I colored this page I completely forgot who this was supposed to be, so it became GDO Hot Spot. I think that was my original intention? Who knows!

"Heat of the Moment", a new comic featuring Inferno! He's kind of underappreciated despite being a 1984 character. (1/2)
