Brace yourself, “Mr. Dalkner” will be returning for the Fall of 2026 because I’ll be running an animation club at my children’s school. If you or someone you know is interested in starting up a similar club at a school near you please reach out. I’m happy to assist or just answer some basic questions.

I started a comic some odd 20 years ago. Maybe more, maybe less. I never felt comfortable with the results so it never got finished. Fast forward to now, it’s the present time and I have some new hardware and software to try out, renewed vibes, and the courage to complete it. The gist is that there’s some young adults at a music venue watching some bands play. One of my favorite pastimes as a young adult. Second only to listening to judgmental commentary (also featured in this comic). Here’s the splash page in progress.

Sometimes I wish the things I imagine would come to life on paper the way that I picture it in my head. That would be a superpower. Until then, I’m like Homer Simpson making a spice rack.
