General Thoughts

To anyone trying to turn Christmas into a P.C. holiday: (If you’re not one of these people and want to skip this, then go read one of my comics. They’re more entertaining) I’m not a Christian. And sure, it’s kinda freaky to see a huge, lit up cross (not a burning cross, mind you) on the side of a rolling hill when driving between Sacramento and the Bay Area at night, but hey… so what? I’m … Read More

My short stories for The Velvet Goat are done. This means I can technically get a move on with the next couple chapters of Max Hades. BUT – we’re in the midst of trying to sell our home, which means keeping it neat and keeping as few things loose in the place as possible. Not to mention the fact that (hopefully) we’ll have people over to look at the ol’ stead. FOR NOW, I’ll be postponing … Read More

There’s a thread over at the Fanboy Radio Forums regarding the originality of comic book characters, and the beef about how no really “new” characters have been created. I wrote the following post, which I thought was written pretty well and had many good points regarding my thoughts on originality. I posted my writing here in its entirety, no edits of any kind, and therefore it reads just as it does on the Fanboy Radio Forums … Read More

Quick site update! It’s been awhile, yes it has. If you’ve visited the site lately (suuuuuuurrrrrrre…) you may have noticed a change in scenery. The design is far from complete, but at least it works and is usable, so any visitors can browse through. The design will be completed soon and an “official” announcement will be made. Check out my two short stories up at The Velvet Goat, an online comic anthology started by Jim Lujan … Read More

Compiled facts regarding Katrina from www.factcheck.org: Bush cut the dough, but the levees wouldn’t have prevented anything over a Category 3 hurricane, anyway. A chronological list of facts regarding the Katrina devestation, from 7-23-2004 and between 8-26 to 9-15-2005

Louisiana nursing home owners charged with 34 counts of murder Their accomplice? Hurricane Katrina. I’ve not done any further research beyond this article just yet, as far as seeking out every news article I can find on the matter. I won’t reiterate statements made in the article; refer to the source material… it reads like a He Said/She Said situation. Depending on whose side of the fence you want to sit on, this could be negligent … Read More

Kevin Waite, illustrious, sexy, and god-like co-creator of Jack Nada will be doing a solo music gig in Lompoc, CA (just north of Santa Barbara) on August 13th! It’s tentatively scheduled to be at the Southside Coffee Depot, though it’s subject to change since, apparently, Kevin’s quite the rock-god down there and word spread of his immenent coming like mad-cow disease in England. We’ll let you know! For those of you unfamiliar with the name Kevin … Read More

Just finished reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Good book. REALLY good book. I liked it a lot. ***************SPOILER BELOW!!!*************** One thing I will say that bugged the crap out of me was the over-used cliche of having the hero dump his girlfriend because his enemies might use her against him. PFT. Noble? Yes. Does it work? Rarely. Sorry… you don’t have to be with someone to care about them. You can dump your girlfriend … Read More

I’m back from San Diego, where I had quite the time. I met a lot of great people whom I’ve never met before, including Jim Rugg, Dave Crosland, Kazu Kibuishi, Kean Soo, etc. I passed out – and sold! – quite a few comics and brought enough home to sell online. That’s right… I’ll be selling these limited Kinko’s prints online very soon, as soon as I get it all hooked up. Now that I’m back, … Read More

I have been sitting at a computer for, oh, at least 12 out of the 18 hours I’m awake every day for the past couple of weeks. This includes my time spent at the ol’ dayjob, and also the nights I spend scanning, cleaning, and preparing pages for a small print run of Max Hades #1 and #2. Oh, and there’s the weekend, too. It’s a pain in the ass, and once again, I’m cutting it … Read More

Max Hades #2 is done! Finally! (don’t ask) And NOW comes the tedious part.

Batman Begins is simply awesome. It started out as a pretty good movie… and then it became a very good movie. Then it became great. There were some trite moments (along with trite dialogue), but not so much that it detracted from the quality of the film. While there were a few fact-bending moments that irked the fanboy in me, it all made for a great movie. The story stayed true to the character. Christian Bale … Read More

I’ve just had one of the crappiest Mondays ever. I just spent all morning grumbling, being pissed, and just foaming at the mouth. Then I hear that Michael Jackson’s verdict is to be delivered today, and all I could think was: “My Monday can’t be as bad as Michael Jackson’s.” He was found innocent on all 10 charges. I guess Monday for MJ is looking up.

WELL… *deep breath* The site is now browsable – is that a word? – now that the main pages and most of the main content is up. There are still some unfinished projects, minor cosmetic changes, and some homepage tidbits that are waiting in the wings, but at least you can check out what the site has to offer, now. Unfortunately, Daley Kwikees is still on hiatus, as preparation for the San Diego Comic Con is … Read More

It’s coming along, folks. Of course, no one’s reading this because I haven’t promoted the site, really. However, if you are a visitor of this soon-to-be-fine establishment, you’ll have noticed quite a few changes. More pages need to be laid out and built, and there’s a lot of content that still needs to be scanned in and posted (namely, 2 full 22-page comics and a new Jack Nada story! More to come. Once everything is finished, … Read More

This site is undergoing some major revamps, ya’ll… so stay tuned. Isn’t this fun? edited on 6*8*2005

The Hulk Movie If you’re planning to see the Hulk, and you’re expecting nothing but high action, cool computer-generated effects, and non-stop superhero hi-jinks, then please… stay home. Watch wrestling. Hell, watch Jackass. Don’t support the superhero stereotype by attending this movie. Now, if you’re planning to see the Hulk to see a smart, sophisticated, character-developing movie… and it happens to be about a classic superhero… go see this movie. (By the way, this movie is … Read More
