MEET WENDY!!!

Five months ago, I introduced a shadowy figure with a pair a pointy pigtails on this blog with the promise of a more revealing look down the road.  Well, we've reached our latest rest stop, so here's that more revealing look...

This here is Wendy Oriole, one of the stars of my new series set to debut in 2015!  She's a very mischievous but sweet little girl with an adventurous spirit and endless hope for all that is good!  She lives with her cousin, Joe, whom we'll be meeting sometime further down the road.

Gotta be honest folks, I'm not sure what route I'm gonna take with this story.  My original plan was to do it as a graphic novel for the POD and con circuit.  But with my books just plain not selling, doing this new tale as a web comic is looking more and more likely.  Only time will tell I suppose, but rest assured, Wendy and friends will see the light of day!

Well folks, that's all for today.  I'll be back next time with a New Mike And Mindy that'll settle your "Hunger" for laughs! Time permitting, I might also have some Comic Con fun in store too (Yup, it's that time again)!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all next time!

GUEST WEEK: PJ GETS CRAZY!!!

Guest week is back!  And boy do we have a dozy today!  PJ Day of Flatt Bear has stopped by and brought his signature style of zaniness with him!  So sit back and enjoy the latest Mike And Mindy guest toonage...

Oh dear.  They got quite the arsenal there.  I shudder to think what happens next!  Flatt Bear is the tale of a goofy bear named Duffy who lives with a family and snake while on the lamb with the Witness Protection Agency.  PJ Day is the genius behind the bear and a very good friend.  We're always chatting it up on Twitter and have had many wonderful conversations about art, writing and the creative process in general.  PJ really knows his stuff and is a very supportive friend.  It's always a pleasure to hear from him.  Thanks again PJ!  I'm sure bears have a very high PSI!

Well folks, that's all for now.  I'll be back next time with something old or new.  Depends on whether or not a few things happen!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

MUSHROOMS!!! LITERALLY STAR STUDDED!!!

WOO HOO!!!  It's Mushrooms week here at the 'VERSE!  I've been dying to show this one!  It features cameos from three of my favorite web comics!  So sit back and enjoy some literal hilarity!

Ah, how I love to literally interpret things!  Thank God for Mel Brooks and Spaceballs.  That's what inspired this whole silly series to begin with ("Combing the desert" y'all!)!  The first row features Yeti and Veronica from Jeff Crowther's awesome Yeti 4 Hire!  Jeff as you may recall did a wonderful guest strip for me back in February, so I was more than joyed to take a shot at giving his toons the CRAZY treatment!  The middle row features Sonja, Bean and Ned from Thomas Barnett's Li'l Miesters.  Thomas also did an awesome guest strip for me back in February, so when the chance came to "Stretch" the constant battle between Bean and Ned, I had to jump on it!  The bottom row features Max and Eleanore from Caanan Grall's Max Overacts.  Caanan has taken part in past CCE's and his strip is always brings a smile to my face.  I don't think Max is overreacting to this predicament

Well folks, that's all for now.  Hope you enjoyed all the guest spots.  Speaking of guests, PJ Day from Flatt Bear will be here next week with a new Mike And Mindy guest comic!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

MIKE AND MINDY: MONSTER LAUGHS!!!

What's up y'all!  Welcome to June!  Summer is here and so is fair season!  Definitely gonna be stocking up on Deep Fried Twinkies and Luchadore Masks this year!  Until then, I'll just have to stock up on some comics.  Mike and Mindy are back, and it looks like they're bothering the Wedgie Monster again.  Some fools just never learn.  Let's see where this leads, shall we...

Considering what happened last time they messed with Wedgie Monster (See it here), I reckon those two got off easy this time.  Wonder if this means they've been "Winded?"  OK, that was a bad pun even by my standards!

A while back, my good pal Joshua Hauke from the Tales Of The Brothers Three asked me to do a guest strip for him and, lo and behold, it's up!  This piece was a lot of fun to do and really raised the skirt, er, bar for me comedy-wise!  Thanks again for asking me to "Drop" this on you Josh!  (P.S., the prints on Mindy and Dougie's undies are the symbols of the late great Ultimate Warrior.  Chris Gobbett recommended tossing the symbols on Mindy's bloomers in a future strip, and this seemed the perfect opportunity!)

Well folks, that's all for this week.  I'll be back next time with a star-studded Mushrooms that will literally knock your socks off!  Or not.  Totally depends on how hard you laugh really.  Until next time, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

BUBBLING FOXES!!!

Howdy folks!  Gotta very special comic today!  For the first time ever, Bubble Fox has been guested!  And who was cool enough to give that gassy fox his first guest strip?  The super awesome Dave Craig of the hilarious Horovitz Comics!  So sit back and enjoy the "Bubbly" goodness!

Cunning and crafty... What all foxes are known for.  Bubble and Willow have an interesting relationship that just continues to blossom.

Toronto's Dave Craig is a hilarious cartoonist.  Much like Crispin Wood of Small Blue Yonder, I put his comics on par with Gary Larson's The Far Side as just being insanely funny!  He's a true master at nailing the absurdities of life and the world around us.  He's also become a huge fan of Bubble Fox and asked me a while back if he could do a guest strip.  Luckily my brain was working that day and said yes!  As a result, I now posses this beauty!  Thanks so much Dave for taking such good care of my foxes!  To see more of Dave's hysterical comics, click here! (Warning: A few mature comics there, so teens and older!)

I gotta say, the response to Bubble Fox has been amazing so far!  I really can't believe how popular it's gotten in such a relatively short amount of time.  It's certainly gonna soften the blow when Mike And Mindy and Mushrooms end in December.  Having social media to promote from the start has certainly helped.  I think using a platform like ComicFury instead of Blogger has also been a boon.  Nothing bad on Blogger though.  This site has been wonderful and is still the easiest setup you'll find anywhere.  But ComicFury's homepage actively promotes its user's comics in several different ways.  My only gripe really is that it's not easy to customize.  I tell ya, the first programer to take ComicFury's platform and combine it with Blogger's customizing ease is gonna make a fortune!

Well folks, that's all for this week!  I'll be back next time with a New Mike And Mindy that'll be a "Monstrously" good time!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

HOCKEY IN BLOOM!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  Just a short update today.  Was hoping for a guest strip, but looks like things are a bit delayed on that front.  Luckily,  the Stanley Cup playoffs are in full swing, and my old pal Warren Frantz of Off Season happen to send in some great Mindy fan art!

Even in May, Hockey's in bloom... BLOOMERS that is!  Mindy is quite proud to show these off!  Thanks again Warren!  Mindy will be adding these to her "Wall Of Bloomers" very soon!

Well folks, that's all for this week.  Hopefully I'll have some more Guest Fun next time.  Until then, take it easy and I'll catch y'all later!

MUSHROOMS KEEPS ON ROCKING!!!

Another week, another comic!  This one should actually be "ROCK PUNS VOLUME 4," but, eh, it's still a Mushrooms strip when all's said and done, so sit back and enjoy the CRAZINESS!

Sheesh!  I hope the real Flaming Lips have a less horrific origin than that!  I've never even heard of Modest Mouse, but I couldn't let a good pun go to waste!  And I'm fully aware there are six doors in that third panel, but it's all symmetrical.  And panel four has some special guests from three of my favorite comics: Goober from Daniel Barton's Goober And Cindy, Ralf from Scott Lincoln's Ralf The Destroyer and Tawee from Eddie Pittman's Red's Planet!  I know the TNA bit is a low blow, but seriously now, has anything they've done in the last four years given anybody any reason to think otherwise?  And lastly, those twerps are as naughty as they come!  I'll be having nightmares for weeks now!  Guess I had that one coming though.  Nasty little buggers!

So ends another week of CRAZY.  We'll back next time with some Guest CRAZINESS to entertain the masses.  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!
