Sometimes you gotta just go with your first instinct.

On a side note, this is the first strip I’ve ever done that was 100% digital.  I got a refurbished Motion Computing LE1700 Tablet PC this week and I even did the pencils on it, which is new for me.  Still taking some getting used to it and I may end up going back to pencils on paper and the rest digitally but I do love being able to draw right on the screen!

Maybe I’ll post the roughs up so you can see what the strip looks like with no colors or inks.

I admit it…I just wanted to do one more strip with the characters saying Engelbert Humperdinck.  I can’t explain it either…it just makes me laugh.

When Paul Westover sent me his great guest strip, it gave me the idea to lead to this one.  I thought it would be funny if Mick was getting his butt kicked by Papa without knowing it.   Hope you enjoy it!

I’ve also been talking with Carlos Samudio of Hopper & Black Frog Comics in Austin, TX about putting out a paperback compilation of all of the strips (in fact, this week’s would be the last of the book…obviously I will not be using the guest strips so I wrote these last two so you could get the joke without Paul’s guest strip).  It’s going to be a horizon format (like the old Garfield books) but I’m thinking of going with a cover similar to this mock up I made a week or so ago.  Carlos published the BtI comic book and we’ve had a blast at conventions.  Looking forward to more!

I ran into this issue when I was back home visiting my parents for Christmas. There was no middle ground!!

Also, I relaunched my website for acting this week and if I do any blogging it will be over there.   There are photos up and some video, so stop on by and check it out if you feel so inclined.

Nothing ruins a lunch faster than when your grandfather starts talking about sex.  Just sayin…

Out of the mouths of babes…or grandfathers.

I think we’ve all felt this way before…especially when sitting down on the subway.

And thus ends this quest and this storyline.  If you missed any of the previous couple of strips, you can start the D&D riff here!

I was never much of a table top gamer but I really enjoyed playing the Dungeon & Dragons PC games like Baldur’s Gate.  My biggest issue playing these games was deciding on a character.  I would start and restart multiple times because a character other than what I chose seemed cooler.  So here you go.

Apparently Mick has hit the bottom of the barrel in trying to get a game together.
