Catch you on the flipside!

Please Pass The Jelly!! Part 1

So this is Part 1 of my comic, Toast. First I want to apologize for some of the content. Let's face it passing gas is bad but funny comedy. Second, on the front cover and title page I used my friend Gabe's imprint. Now at that time, I didn't think it would be used like it is today. Me being a wimp and afraid of lawyers, I deleted the imprint name on these pages. (Can you guess what it was?) Third, this sucker's big. 48 pages big. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find Page 47. That's okay, because that page is the origins of the heroes. I'll give an in depth review of them at the end of this series. Fourth, my address was on the title page. I've moved like 4 times since then. And finally, I got three of my great friends to do pin-ups for it. Two will be shown. Gabe's will not because of subject matter. email me if you REALLY want to see it. Okay, enough talk.. HERE WE GO!!!

Oh, one more thing. Can you spot the things that influenced when I made this? Catch you on the flipside!

Fast Blasts!

First, I want to give a shout to Mr. Savage (http://www.oldmanmusings.com/) and Mr. Robare (http://www.brandedinthe80s.com/) for the support, Over the next couple of posts (probably three) I'm gonna put up the Toast comic I talked about last time. Now remember these were done over ten years ago and they aren't the best in quality. More on that next time. So strap yourself in for this post, because...

...peppered with pictures of Alex, (sorry, its the dad in me) here's a couple quickies that I'd like to call Fast Blasts!

Happy 30th Burfday to my loverly wifey, Michelle! You are still as beautiful as ever, even if you got that little drool on your mouth while you were sleeping in my chair. Love you Honey! If anyone sees her before Sunday (her burfday) make sure you harass the dickens out of her!

My father was in a car accident on Tuesday. He was driving the company van for the auto parts store he works for and blacked out for a split second and ran off the road. The van sheered a telephone pole and went into a field. Dad walked away bruised and with a very stiff leg. At the time the doctors didn't know what happened to him. He has another doctor's appointment later this week to find out whats going on.

My mother is working on a devotional book. I have been requested to draw some of the little artwork speckled thru out it. Instead of writing this I should be drawing. She has the utmost faith in me to have this project done by the end of August. I am the President of the nation of Procrastination.

Alex will be 7 months on Sunday. He's getting so big. He has two teeth and I think there's another coming in. He LOVES apples, pears and pineapple glazed ham. Baby food has gotten varied nowadays.

Work is... different this week. I'd go into it but the only thing I'll say is, if it was an airport, it would be the most secure.. heh heh..

We went to the Fulton Theatre's greet the cast party this past Tuesday. Alex, of course, was hamming it up with the cast of this years season opener, Oklahoma! Sorry everyone, no Hugh Jackman.

So that's what going on. I'm gonna sit down here soon, draw a little and watch some Olympics. Go Michael Phelps!! Catch you on the flipside!

The Burnt Knight

I love comics. I've read and collected them since 1986. Things, of course, change over the years, but, comics, they don't. I am addicted. In the summer of '94, my friend Gabe (see http://www.dummcomics.com/ on Mondays or at http://www.gabeswarr.blogspot.com/) drew a comic. Due to legal issues I cannot show this comic, but if you beg Gabe, he might be nice and show you. I can though talk about a story element that happens in this comic. This 'event' set the basis for me to launch my comic. And that, I can talk about. Meet Toast - The Burnt KnightIn Gabe's comic, a giant is doing cannonballs off of Big Ben and into the River Thames in London. Well, I took that part and ran with it. I mean, what would be the repercussions of this, scary but silly act? Enter the foreign exchange scientist from America working with a new form of napalm and an experimental flame resistant asbestos/Kevlar cloth in London. What are the chances of something going wrong? In the resulting accident cause by the a aforementioned giant, this unnamed scientist is left with flaming hair and the ability to throw flames and fly. Taking the asbestos/Kevlar and making a costume for himself, he returns back to the U.S. and to fight whatever evil may pop up. So Toast was born that fall of '94. It would take until 1997 for me to finish my comic. I wanted to do sequels and colorize it (original is in glorious black and white) but life happens fast as the insurance company says. I'm debating to post a couple of issues at a time here on the blog, but I don't know... We'll see.

Catch you on the flipside!

Next Time: A question for you: should I post some Toast?

PS: I really got to start tagging my posts...
