just a note to both of you who care- I've decided to start posting my comics at the following place, simply because that site lets me upload a larger version of the pages I make:

Something old, something new...
I am working on new comics, I promise!!!! here's proof:
And to tide you over until the next page is done, here are some examples of an ancient version of the rat, cat, and basset strip, which were done back in my high school days (circa 1999-2000), before the creation of the rat, when the strip was an even more generically Garfield-esque man-and-his-pets strip:

bored busy
Been busy with school stuff, so comics are delayed (as usual). But here's a doodled piece of work I did with a couple ball-point pens, in my rare moments of boredom...

DUDE--- doodles!
okay, you're not getting the new comics until maybe next wednesday, so until then you're gonna get stuck with more of my pointless doodling. So deal widd'it.
coupla caricatures, a few feeble attempts at capturing that galumphing run which is so unique to the giraffe...
...And a drawing that quickly descended from an attept at a basically realistic sketch of a horse's head into the anarchic cartoony chaos you see as the result of trying to entertain and surprise the small audience of youthful observers who were watching in astonishment as I drew this. always fun to turn the act of drawing into an entertaining show, and kids always make the best audiences, as a simple thing will delight and amuse them- little things like having both eyes on one side of the head, or super-exaggerated short legs, or a ribbon tied into a bow on the "pony-tail."

Bonfire Sketch-aroo
new comics are on the way, but not getting done this week, so to tide you elite few readers over until then, here's some sketches i did at a bonfire recently. two of the originals were given away, so all I have are facebook-sized photos of them.
I still have this third drawing but I'm to lazy to hunt it down ant scan it in to post here. Maybe later I'll replace this photo with a proper scanned version.
this fourth one was of one of the girls at the bonfire, who had just about the coolest hair-do ever. In fact the drawing really doesn't do it justice.
EDIT: (updated) here is a scan of the third sketch. You may notice a slight alteration i made to Edwin's fishing pole
between the time the drawing was photographed and when it was scanned. These sketches were all done with a ballpoint pen, so after i scanned this in, I had to Photoshop out the original fishing pole.

biggified
I probably won't have any new comics this week, due to the fact that I have so many other things I need to be doing, but as a consolation prize for the faithful few who read these posts, here is a full-sized version of one of the cartoons from volume 1, issue 6 of my series of cartoons. You can see the cleaned-up pencils for this cartoon here.I have the rough sketches somewhere too, and the original doodled idea, but I'm too lazy to dig them up at the moment...
This picture though should give an idea how large a scale I work with to produce the detail in my comics. I generally do the final versions of these on 9 x 12 inch Bristol board, inking the old-fashioned way with a dip pen. Then I scan this and color it in photoshop and assemble it into the page layout I've established for the series. Sadly the size that blogger limits me to causes some detail to be lost, so I try to keep these from being overly cluttered by minutiae of details that will never be seen in the final version.
