Superheroes are pretty pathetic if you think about it. And the more powerful they are, they more impotent they seem to be at effecting any real change. Let’s face it, instead of spending hours punching bad guys as Batman, billionaire Bruce Wayne could do more a lot more for Gotham by creating some Green jobs …

Your Guide to Fine Art
Click to enlarge. The cool thing about art is that it works on an intellectual level and on a visceral level. You don’t have to understand the golden mean to appreciate the balance it creates, but the better you do understand it, the deeper your appreciation of a piece of artwork can be. That said, …

My Summer Vacation
Click to enlarge. Drawing Board My original plan was to use word balloons, with the characters saying 1: “Are you sure there are fireworks tonight?” 2: “Yes, Yes. Any minute now.” But then I decided that this looked a little like a typical New Yorker cartoon. And, since I intended this as a thank you …

Good Call
Click to enlarge I like Curt Conners. I think he’d be a good supporting character in the Spidey comics. But that’s not how he’s used. Nope, if you see Conners, you can bet you’ll see the Lizard in an issue or two. A fight ensues, and then Conners disappears again for a few years. Not …

Mind Reader
click to enlarge FaceBook is okay in small doses. But mostly, the signal to noise ratio is so low that it’s really a waste of time for me. I have no idea how people spend hours on it. To me it’s just so boring. When the comments aren’t inane they are infuriating. And why do …

Tired of the Heat?
Click to enlarge Drawing Board I suspect that no one will appreciate this comic (especially people born before 1965 or after 1975), but I had been giggling about it for a couple of days, so I had to slap it together. This is a mix of pen & ink and Photoshop. It came out pretty …

How It Works: Prayer
Click to enlarge. Drawing Board I have this crazy idea of doing a mini comic of “How Things Work” that spoofs and/or critiques any number of social phenomena. However, given that I’ve managed to do 2 comics on the idea in the last 8 years, don’t hold your breath. This is the other one. As …

Weight Gaining Techniques
Click to enlarge Background So I’ve been trying to be good and work on ArmzRace stuff at least once a week (in addition to putting out at least one comic a month). But somedays I have no inspiration whatsoever. That’s when I turn to my sketchbook, which is full of stupid ideas like this …

Doggone
This was really more an experiment with my Wacom tablet (which is an electronic sketchboard that uses a pen instead of a mouse). This cartoon was drawn almost exclusively using the tablet. It’s still pretty rocky, but I think it’s a big leap from my last experiment. The tablet along with the pen is great …

Two Billion Years Ago
Click to enlarge This comic was completely created on a computer using my new Wacom tablet. No physical art exists (if you don’t count the original idea sketch). The tablet is basically like a mouse, but in the form of a pen and pad. It seems like it would be more natural than using a …

Men and Women
Because every comic has to make the “men do this, while women do that” joke, here’s mine. Click to enlarge
