2006 we hardly knew ye..

Wow what happened to the year? Seems like it was just 2005.. I blame television. It's been an eventful year. I pulled thirteen months on the Tomcat Ltd Blog (right before starting a new one because of technical problems), launched a web site, got a job, a car (and license), and a deviantart account. That's all not counting a web comic which I've recieved some wonderful comments about. Thanks for all the wonderful feedback on my pictures, the site and the comic everybody. See you on the other side..

Christmas 2006..

It's one of my favorite times of the year. Gar may have the best Halloween memories, but Christmas is a day that will live in infamy. Seems Posey made it out of this holiday without any lasting emotional scars. Merry Christmas everyone, or Happy Hanukkah, or any holiday you hold dear this time of year.



Peace on Earth, good will toward men and a Bumble in a pear tree.

No More Missing Backgrounds Huh?

No seriously, this was before I made that big rant about backgrounds. Really. Anyway this is a poster idea that I eventually plan to add to the merchendise page at Cafe Press, but maybe after the Christmas season. Unless any readers want one early.. This came out pretty much as I'd planned, but I don't think I'm really happy with the lettering that I did myself. Maybe I should've used some fonts or something. Oh well I can always change it later.

In other news if you haven't heard, I've joined Comic Space, where artists can come together and act all emo. Come and see! Add me as a friend and I'll be sure to return the favor.

It's Playtime..

Back to backgrounds. Back to gags. Real gags. Not those silly ones that develop character or some such nonsense. Plays on words, sight gags, and just plain funny pictures. Oh wait, this is a serene scene comic. Right. Just back to backgrounds then. Maybe we can squeeze some humor into the next one.

But seriously, I've been bored with those quick comics. The ones that have no real background. Sure they can be churned out quicker, but overall product is lacking. Plus I'm guessing people don't really care to go to the comic page to show their support (seeing that now I've slipped into the 800s in The Webcomics List) for a quickie comic. So I tried to do something better. Also it allowed me to draw Gar's favorite arcade, Henry Gorey's Funtasmagoria. O and for the people who can't see it (which is all of you), that dome at the top of the round part of the building is a brain. The layout of the panel, just didn't allow for the whole thing to be shown (it was either the brain dome or Gar).

Marvel Art Dump..

These are all part of a friend of mine's story crossover with Marvel. All the characters in here are the heroes of Jason's story The Creatures, fighting my characters from Masked Marvel. These were loads of fun.




Not only that, but the ever present Dastardly Duck. Crazy as ever of course. He likes to see things blow up.

Artistically sound..

I was working for an entire week on another comic that, while it had a wonderful idea, just wasn't coming together artistially. So on about Thursday night, I put the idea aside and came up with something that maybe wasn't as funny, but looked better artistically. I like the way this one looked, because it's so rough. This one isn't inked, just pencils run through Adobe Streamline. I also liked it because it took about one day to color. Don't worry, it gets better soon.
