Paging Doctor Zaius

ZOMBIES: Part Three

Hi there, welcome back. Here are the next handful of pages from my zombie comedy, or should I say, Una comedia del zombi ? I pushed myself to finish these pages despite my busy schedule and I'm kind of surprised that the I've gotten the first three parts all up in the span of a month.

So, here they are. We've crossed over from PG to M, so hide the children and tell grandma that everything works out fine and then send her to bed. Enjoy.

Mitch & Roland: #16 Blender

I was inspired to draw this comic by an actual blender that seems to be able to blend nearly any thing you throw at it. I crack up over that handy warning with every insane blending: Don't breathe this.

Are you sure, man? I had the intentions of inhaling the glass fumes, but I guess not. Are people dumb enough to blend glow sticks, but smart enough to avoid the hazards of blending glow sticks? It's a fine line.

Who Will Salve the Day?

A Case of the Heebie Jeebies

If you come to my site for a little bit of randomness, I think I've provided it here. I really don't know how this ever popped into my head. I know for sure that it's weird, but the question is, is it funny?

Mitch & Roland: #15 Perspective

No matter how bad things may get, there's always an upside. You may have to look hard for it, but it's there, like some unfinished sandwich you left on the porch yesterday but now it's like the damn thing up and vanished. God help the kids if they took it. You know what? It was probably the dog.

From Tragic Kingdom to Tragic

Lately on television I keep catching new music videos by Gwen Stefani and it's just making me angry. I know there are dozens of other celebrities more deserving of a rant, but allow me this brief venting of my anger. Have you heard this "Wind it Up" garbage? Or "The Sweet Escape". I thought her first solo album was ridiculous, but now it's just awful. I'm really saddened by how terrible these songs are compared to stuff like "Don't Speak" or "Spiderwebs".

I'm not certain, but it seems that No Doubt was the only thing keeping Gwen's ego in check, 'cause now each video looks like her making tacky musical love to the word Gwen written out in golden lights.

Alright, that's an exaggeration, but c'mon, she does anything she wants. I know most famous artists do whatever they want, it's usually not so stupid looking though. And when is someone going to arrest her for parading those two Japanese girls around in whatever insane costume she finds or designs.

Her newest singles get stuck in my head these days. And not in a good way where I'm playing imaginary drums on a tabletop with pencils. No, it's more like I find myself humming it while brushing my teeth and I want to headbutt a mirror.

"Wind it up" is one of the stupidest songs I've heard since...."My humps". Not only does it sound simplistic and crummy, the lyrics and concept might as well be anything. I swear, it might as well be "Shake it Out", "Knock it Down", "Wipe it Off", "Push it In", or whatever. Here, let me rewrite the first verse with whatever crap that pops into my head:

Cook it up, cook it up, cook it up, Cock a doodle doodle lee doo,

This is the pan in which I shall bake,
all the kids line up to have chocolate cake,
And the boys line up, to each have their lick,
but the girls hog the batter, and eat all the mix.

There. Now all you need are some Japanese girls dressed up like naughty bakers, a giant golden electric mixer, and a marching band playing drums with neon G's all over them, and you got yourself a hit.

Everyone Wins!

Hmmm, says I

For reasons unknown, I cannot seem to upload any images to my blog, so for the time being there will be no cartoon updates. That's a shame.


Whatever the reason, I'm sure the good people at blogger will soon release the giant mechanical repair drones to solve the problem and/or run amok.

Man vs. Bundt

There's something that cracks me up about a guy fighting a cake. To taking a pounding from a pound cake. You know, get beaten black forest and blue. Uh....I'll stop now. I just hope he was wearing a cup .... cake.

Sorry.

ZOMBIES: Part Two

And so the story continues. I think things are picking up now and I'm really pleased with the results thus far. As for my drawing process, you should be able to see a transition from inking with various markers and brush pens to India ink applied with a nib pen. It's a first for me, and I really do enjoy the slow and careful process of it. Dip, draw, dip, draw.

Anyhow, here are the next few pages and I'm already deep into the third bunch. Enjoy.

Mitch & Roland: #14 Joke

Every now and again a student will remark on my looks. And for the most part, it's usually positive. I've been called handsome many a time, but it often occurs when I take off my glasses for a moment.

This week a student, struggling to use newly learned vocabulary, told me that I have an utmost face. Whether he meant my face is of the highest degree or just simply extreme, I took that as a compliment.

Hey, look over here! It's a comic!

Avert Your Gaze

With the discovery channel being one of the few English stations I receive, I find myself watching plenty o' documentary. Lately I've caught numerous ones about mummies and generally people unearthing long lost tombs of frightful looking dried up buggers. It was that identical crooked open-mouth toothy death-gasp expression on each one's face that inspired this panel.

Easter Straight to Your Keister

Mitch & Roland: #13 Pillow

What is it that compels children to construct forts, whether it be in a tree, out of snow, or made of cushions and furniture? Could it be that we all have the desire to create and build? To defend and protect? Actually it's just because we are violent and we need a central base from which to launch aggressive campaigns to conquer other forts. You can't just roam about willy nilly on your warpath. That's just common sense.

All Glory to Colour!

I haven't been able to update my blog as often as I would like lately, but I chock that up to being busy. Who would have thought it's difficult to work all day and then come home and 'turn on the funny'?

I present to you the first bit of colour on this site, complements of my brother, Darron. He surprised me recently with this vibrant technicolor version of my drawing. I think it's cool. My favourite part is that now the two guys' shirts make me think of the Hypno-toad. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.


For those of you wondering what's been going on with the zombie comic, fear not! I have been working away at it with not one but both hands deep in my underground sketching facility, and I offer this as proof. Expect the next installment... eventually!

Are your children safe from the Earth?

As I have discussed with my good friend Sam, the true equation of humour is this: Being a dick = hilarious. It doesn't really matter the circumstance or who it is being a grimy jerk, but if they are, then that's a riot. It is this tried and true method that lead me to the above drawing.
