Hear my fun interview with Brandon and Colin Oliver, those two Canadian siblings from Kitchener, Ontario reponsible for unleashing TWXXD on an unsuspecting world. Lots of lively discussion about comics, writing techniques, and poutine! Give it a listen here.
Bug animated by Crispin Wood
If you don’t know Crispin Wood, that is something you need to rectify immediately. This comic kingpin kicks up the laughs at Small Blue Yonder, a spot on the web where he mines gems of comic hilarity seven days a week. His style is instantly recognizable, there’s an elegance to his line and color that could pass for top illustration. If he should ever collect his work into one volume, I’m sure you’d want it up on your shelf amidst some of the greats like Al Jaffee, Harvey Kurtzman and Don Martin. Crispin is also a professional animator, and his talent with movement shines in this special animated gif he created, inspired by my recent animated strip. Hey Crispin, thanks for this and for being such an inspiration!

Jon Esparza, the Craziest denizen of that wacky world known as the Crazyverse allowed me the opportunity to create a guest strip featuring two of his most famous creations Mike and Mindy. Putting this strip together was a real hoot, and I really enjoyed working with Jon’s characters. Mike sure knows how to squeeze the fun out of a situation, doesn’t he? Thanks for letting me visit the Crazyverse for a little while, Jon! Once you get here, you don’t want to leave! You can see my guest strip here.
