Eat-Your-Veggies-Bot

Some people scream and yell at their kids.  Others take toys away, and still others put their kids in time-out.  I, on the other hand, threaten my children with giant imaginary robots that watch to make sure they eat their dinner.

My kids will forever tell tales of what it was like to have a nerd for a dad.

Thanks.

My Phone is Smarter Than Your Second Grader

First, an apology.  I realized when I dated this cartoon that I hadn't done a proper "My Life in Comics" strip since January 24th.  I have put up some of the other things I've been working on, but this definitely got off track. I am truly sorry and I hope I haven't lost any of my readers...

Here it is.

This is the first cartoon to feature my brother.  I predict he will be mad at me for two reasons.  1.) I decided to draw this after I last saw him with a beard.  2.) This conversation never happened.  It is a joke I've had rolling around in my head for years.  Sorry man... you just fit, that's all.

Thanks.

Why So Serious?

So instead of doing the obvious Batman character for this "Origins" piece, I decided to have this one feature the villain.  It's the Joker, of course.  Again, only pencils so far, but you get the idea.

Those are crayola markers.  Washable.  This scene may look distinctly familiar to my brother.  He did this when he was a kid with one major difference.  He cut his hair into a V shape in the front and colored it green. My mom was thrilled.  I thought it was awesome.

Thanks.

Brian.

Along Came a Spider-Man

This is the second piece in a series of "Origins" pieces I am doing.  The set focuses on becoming a childhood fan of a superhero.  The first one focused on Superman... this one is (of course) Spider-Man.  Only the pencils are done, and again this is several scans of a larger work that I tried to piece together in Corel.

This is my little boy trying to climb his bedroom wall in his Spider-Man jammies, then along comes a... well, you know the rest.  I will update this series as I complete the individual pieces.

Thanks.

Making a Strong Case

I feel all dirty... I keep swearing I'm not going to do political cartoons but those guys are so easy to lampoon. And they deserve it.

I think they all went to school to learn the art of "how to answer a question without answering the question whilst bolstering one's own track record."  No more promises on what I will and won't put in a cartoon.

Thanks.

Brian.

Discovering Superman

This is not part of the "My Life in Comics" series.  I am working on a large piece for my son's room.  The quality of the scan is bad because I had to scan the work four times and then piece it together in the computer.  You get the idea, though.

I suppose this is my first commissioned work of art.  It's for my little boy and it's free, but what the heck...

Thanks.

Brian.

Something New Every Day

I promise not to beat the SOPA/ PIPA thing to death...

This depicts a pretty funny conversation I had with someone at work.  Of course, he was joking about the contents of his hard drive, but I thought it would be better to use characters rather than likenesses for the scene.  At least, I think he was kidding.

Thanks.

Brian.
