Do-Over

I wasn’t happy with an earlier version of this drawing so I did it over again. It’s important to properly depict the fantastical moment when a cat transforms into a girl or a girl transforms from a cat back into a girl. Maybe, hopefully, I can move on with my life now.

Clubhouse Covers And Splashes

As I’ve mentioned in the past, I run an afterschool comic book club at my children’s school. I give a little presentation and outline for projects at the beginning of each meeting. When I talk about how to make comic book covers and splash pages it’s the first time that the students get to use markers and pens to ink their drawings. In order to demonstrate how to do this I prepare a number of sample penciled drawings and ink them in front of the students to show them what to do. Here are some pieces I couldn’t help myself from finishing after the session was over. One that’s a nod to one of my favorite artists growing up and some with K-Pop Demon Hunters vibes. Kudos to you if you can name that inspirational artist and the referenced cover. 😉

A Rainy Day

Rainy days can be frustrating. They can steal your joy. Maybe rainy days even make you feel a little bit sick, but they can be beautiful too. What do you do on a rainy day? How do they make you feel?

Awwwww-ful

Dr. Doctor M.D. is a helpful sort. Let’s look in to see how he helps out a lumpy patient. Hint: the results are “awwwww-ful”.

This is the third installment of a Birthday Street comics thread. When any of the three creators would undertake making a comic, they would start by working off of some element from the comic that preceded it. In this trio of animations (World’s Greatest Hotted-Dog, Quincy vs. Frankfurter, and now this) it follows through one small arc of those threads. Starting with anthropomorphic hotdogs, then treatment for (maybe) imagined anthropomorphic hotdogs, and finally the doctor character. 

Hotdogs And Delusions

I’ve recently been working on translating a number of Birthday Street comics into short animations. You can see all of them on the animation page of my site. Here are a pair that feature The World’s Greatest Hotdog.

The character that would become known as “The World’s Greatest Hotdog” was created by Matt Sutter (in a comic with a goofy hyphenation in its title). The “WGHD”, as I sometimes shorten it, is probably the greatest achievement of Birthday Street comic characters. Good natured, helpful, energetic, surprising, silly, and a little bit cool. Like a breakfast cereal mascot you wish was your friend. Enjoy my animated version of Matt’s comic featuring the voice talent of fellow Birthday Street creator Kevin Cornell.
Quincy is a nervous wreck, even before a chance encounter with The World’s Greatest Hotdog. Enjoy this animation (featuring my voice acting talents) based on a Birthday Street comic created by Kevin Cornell. If you’re interested in more hilarious content like this, check out the unabridged book.

The Unabridged Birthday Street Book Is Out Now

Finally, it’s here! Every Birthday Street comic Matt Sutter, Kevin Cornell and I made all in one place. 400+ comics, 768 pages. It’s big AND big on laughs. Buy it now! (age verification because of grown-up humor).

Big Big Birthday Street Book

Big news on the horizon about the release of a VERY big book compiling all of the Birthday Street comics made by myself, Kevin Cornell, and Matt Sutter. Can’t wait to hear more? Well how about you sit and ponder this looping animation of my first contributed character, “guy in too-tight tights”.
