A Decision

I have decided that I am going to add a new angle to this blog, in part because the current angle of self-aggrandizement is a bit inconsistent (this does not mean I'm eliminating that angle), and in part because I just bloody well feel like it.

So here's the intent: I'm going to start using this space for purposes of review.

I intend to review comics, publish comic related interviews, maybe even review comic related media.

I am aware that there is no shortage of such things on the internet. However, I feel that most other review sites have three flaws: 1) Their writers can't tell an adjective from an asshole. 2) They aren't honest with themselves, or with the rest of us, that they really are just rants & opinions. 3) They aren't MY rants & opinions.

Alright, with that all decided, if you want me to review your book, just leave & comment & we'll work something out. If you're a friend, I want you to think really hard about whether you want me to review your comics, because if they suck it's going to really awkward for both of us.

Let's do this.

Two for One

It's O.C.F. time again. Two at once, because I haven't updated in so long.

Evolution of Style & Methodology

Way back when, I did a comic strip called Emcee Square. I didn't do it for long, but I really enjoyed it.

I recently came across the old strips, and it is absolutely hilarious to me how rapidly & drastically the style tightened up, and the method of producing the strip changed, taking us from a primitive cartoon to something far more slick (but no less a cartoon).

Here is the first of the Emcee Square strips:

& here is number 6:

Maybe it's time for me to take up doing a weekly strip again...
