Bob’s Brain
I haven’t posted very many comics lately. One reason is that my brain has been working a lot like Bob’s has.

Beatniks are Not All Alike
The people who shout the loudest about how no one has the right not to be offended are often the people least willing to apply the same principle to themselves, as well as the people most likely to take offense for utterly spurious reasons.

No Fun
I came across this drawing over the weekend and decided to finish it. Coincidentally, my left shoulder’s been aching, although I’m pretty sure no one’s been stabbing it.

The Old Pool
After a typically frustrating inking experience I decided to try finishing a strip in pencils. I’m not sure this will work. The scan shows every smudge, and it’s hard to get that plain white border that blends with the web page.

Just Passing (Page 1 of 2)
Page 2 is coming tomorrow evening.
Bob is walking really awkwardly in panel one. I decided it would be more amusing not to redraw it.

I’ve gone back to hand lettering. Is it legible? Too small?

The Small Mysteries are the Weirdest
I go back and forth on whether I should use my own lettering for these, or a font. Hand lettering looks more like part of the drawing, but compared to my lettering a font is more legible.
I’m probably going to continue updating on a once-a-week schedule this month, but I hope to be more productive as Spring wears on.

There’s a punch line coming, but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for page two.

The Bat Salesman
This is one of my odder cartoons. Basically I cobbled together a few random sketchbook drawings, and wrote a caption to match.

I have another four-panel comic coming up, so on the bottom third of the bristol I drew another single-panel surrealist comic based on randomly juxtaposed words. (I should do more of these—my drawing seems to improve when I focus on one image.)

A New Old Comic
I uncovered a half-finished, five-year-old comic while I was straightening up, and inked it. The compositions in panels 2 and 4 were so off I had to correct them in Photoshop, but for something I drew five years ago it’s not so bad.
