Batman's Facebook Lament



This is the newest part of the Batman the Heartbreak series which follows Batman through a difficult break up.

Batman keeps calling me at all hours of the night to talk about his break up. I love Batman and I want to be a good friend to him, but this has been going on for years, and I feel like I've done everything I can for him. Listening to Batman talk about his relationship troubles can be really frustrating. It's so clear that he keeps repeating the same pattern over and over again, but he just doesn't see it....and when you try to point it out he gets really defensive. Batman, if you're reading this (and I know that you follow my blog) please limit your calls and texts to me to once or twice a day during normal business hours, and when I answer the phone, ask me if it's a good time to talk before you start yapping non-stop for 20 minutes. I love you , Batman, but we need to establish some boundaries right now before this really starts to effect our friendship.











Welcome to California




This is the "Local Interest" section at the Barnes and Noble book store in the Los Angeles Grove shopping center. It's all about how to grow a plant called marijuana. Apparently this is of great interest to local people in Los Angeles. I remember going to a Barnes and Noble in Baltimore , Maryland once and the local interest section was mostly full of books about crab.


Here is a video of mine from a while back where I visit a Kentucky Fried Chicken that turned into a medical marijuana shop.

The Final Chirp




Doyle's Mortuary. Follow us on Twitter.


After meeting and becoming good friends with newspaper cartoonist Keith Knight (The Knight Life) and single panel toon star Lonnie MIlsap I have been inspired to draw some single panel cartoons. I just did the above one, which I drew while sharing a booth at Alternative Press Expo with Lonnie and Keith and selling my Everybody Dies Children's Book.

The one below if my first ever attempt at single panel, that I did during the superbowl in January. I tried to do both in black and white first, but I have a hard time not coloring and painting them since that is what I am used to.
