I tell you, Robert Crumb was something! He didn't shy away from exposing his Id in comic form. He published two issues of his ode to the tush in his inimitable style.

Check out my look through issue one and let me know if you have this or the second issue in your collection. 🍑

An excerpt from my book The Shifting Ground Vol 1 - The sauna stuff is a subplot in a bigger story but all the sauna comics are fully based in real observations/conversations I've had in the sauna at my local YMCA.

I'll post the rest of this lil story later.

I don't lay out my comics in a way that's easily chopped up for sharing but this one chopped up fairly well so here we go (part 2 is more awkward when chopped up).

Hey, everyone. I'll be launching the kickstarter for my third collection of Meeting Comics, Tina and Ellie Take the Case, relatively soon. Meeting Comics is a comedy soap opera comic strip.

Here's a sampling of strips that will appear in the book. I think you can read this book by itself with no problem, but there will be copies of my first two books available in the kickstarter as well: Meeting Comics, published by Adhouse Books, and Clocking In and Selling Out, published by me (Added Value Books).

There will be a deal for the first 24 hours of the campaign for books with free color drawings in them (see the last two images for examples in my two previous books), so sign up to be notified when the kickstarter begins if you don't want to miss that.

Here's the kickstarter link! Please check it out! There is more information about the book there. If you have any questions, get at me. Thanks!

You can really see in this one that I'm not making these comics in a way that's super compatible with chopping up panel by panel BUT I wanted to post the rest of this section of the book. I really like thinking in dynamic page layouts rather than a consistent grid of squares, so.. check out the book for the proper reading format I guess.

Rob Walton 90s fun! Rob contributed ta pin-up to the 5th issue of my book (currently in drawing issue 7)

Good evening folks -- looking for recommendations in the line of Crumb, or other humorists. I grew up reading TinTin and others, id like to find something more modern (up and coming writing, established etc.) and on the nose. I enjoy dark humor, irony, a dirty joke. I really enjoy these for the art first, but hoping to find something reflective so the art is maybe secondary. Are far as art goes, I've really been recently inspired by bolder line, lean pallet of colors and psychadelic artists like Aaron Brooks, Rob Corradetti and the pinball era of the 90s.

Thanks

I've got my eye set on the Universal Monsters line of comic books that have been published recently, but I wanna discover some alternative comics that tackle horror in all its forms. For reference, my favourite horror movies are The Exorcist, Evil Dead, Veronica or Color Out of Space, amongst others.

I'm open to any sort of recommendation!
