Strange Eggs Anthology From SLG In May

More “Strange Eggs” press—in this case, it’s pretty much just the word-for-word press release, but it’s press nonetheless.

Occasionally I create what I call “a couch comic.” At the end of the evening when I’m ready to wind down, I usually make myself a drink and sit on the couch doodling and watching a bit of a DVD. Sometimes, I use this time to create a quick, spontaneous one-page comic in my sketchbook. The “rules” for this process are simple: no prewritten story—just start drawing, draw one complete panel per sitting (~30 minutes usually), and use only felt-tip markers.

Most of the time these strips (for obvious reasons) are of dubious quality and pretty sloppy. Every once in a while, though, one turns out pretty well. In fact, I submitted one that I did a while back to the annual SPX anthology, and it got in.

Anyway, here’s one I did of the Boxing Bucket duking it out in the ring. I changed the gray marker to a sepia tone just for fun.

Cognitive Dissonance

Hey, what can I tell ya? There’s no such thing as bad press. I can’t believe she didn’t like my heartwarming retelling of “The Ugly Duckling” in which a grusome hobo-alien finds peace and contentment among the inner city homeless!

Gay League – Gay Previews 5/2005

Apparently “Strange Eggs” has been declared “LGBT and gay friendly” by the Gay League—owing, I assume, to the presence of Tommy Kovac. Good thing I didn’t do that story where Pat Robertson hatches from and egg and “cures” Kip of his emerging homosexuality…

Here’s a pic of the hopefully-final cover of the book:
