@SoWhatPress Comics are not a billion dollar industry. Comic MOVIES are.

Typical day off: Get Max ready for school, balance checkbook, pay bills, do various paperwork, do laundry, do a Costco run for provisions, sneak in 2 hours of inking, sort laundry, start dinner. Next is cleaning up after dinner, getting Rafe to get a haircut, get ready for bed

@KCStar That's like a murderer blaming the victim for getting in the way of his bullets.

#Inktober#Inktober2018 A goat's skull seemed good for Halloween. Done with a Pentel Brush Pen. I'm always working on getting consistent fine lines with this thing; harder to control than a W&N brush.

@choppadoo @davedrawsgood @Bowsnonk The artists at EC inked their own pencils, every one. Marie was the colorist, and elevated that field to a new level.

@Rob_Rainbolt @davedrawsgood They both did the King Kull stories in the seventies. The stuff looked like Hal Foster.
Gorgeous work.

@Fotosdecomics The top newspaper cartoonists made a fortune in those days. McCay, Opper, McManus, and others lived like movie stars.

In the mid fifties, a Rolls Royce cost in the neighborhood of $20,000. Millionaires bought them. Now schmucks like me have to spent that for an average car. What's wrong with this picture? Discuss.

@MaIkeVenhofen Gorgeous sketch!

Musk says rocket science was " more difficult than we originally thought" WTF???

Latest line that is both funny and irritating, and I hear WAY too often: " These are not actors, they're real people".

I saw my first praying mantis for the season!

I will always be an artist, but my main occupation now is being a foster dad to a special needs teen. Hardest job I've ever done.

Art, art, art...More from Macbeth.

Watched the George Harrison doc by Scorsese on Netflix. Made me weepy and nostalgic. What a songwriter!
