MEETING COMICS

I’M BACK

page one of NO RACCOONS IN HELL part two

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you
Without a strong rhyme to step to

--Rakim, I Know You Got Soul

Back in the game
like Jack LaLanne
-- MF DOOM, Meat Grinder

Above is the first page of NO RACCOONS FROM HELL PART TWO. I’ll be posting the first several pages with commentary free for anyone to read at my patreon. The page is above, but if you want to read what I had to say about it, here’s the patreon link!

CLASSIC MEETING COMICS

I am now running classic Meeting Comics (starting at the very beginning) at ComicFury. If you use that site and want to subscribe, or if you just want to check in there every so often to read my old jokes in webcomic format, here's the link!

DIARY COMICS

Since the beginning of the new year, I've been drawing some diary comics as I feel moved to do so. Here's what I've got so far:

A drawing of a phone in someone's hands. On the screen it says "which one are you" and there are four images of progressively blobbier dudes. Caption I joined a "fitness program" (app) for a trial period
A four panel comic with very small simple drawings of me exercising and then being sore in bed. Captions: From 1994 to 2003, I worked for a guy of Irish descent who drank a lot.  He didn't go to the bar on "Amateur Day" AKA St Patrick's Day. When I was in shape, I felt the same way about the gym around New Year's.  But this year... I am the amateur.
Who or what is ab ripper x? I mostly forgotten X-Men villain from the mid-90s or the 12th DVD in an extreme home fitness box set I got at the thrift shop   There are two illustrations, one of a really generic looking dude with claws and headband and abs, and one of me looking at a DVD

YET MORE NEW DRAWINGS

While I was unable to draw Meeting Comics for a while there, I did a pretty solid job at keeping my hand loose by doing drawings of Val and them. Here are some that I don't think I've shown here before:

a drawing of Tori
a drawing of Ellie

More soon! Thanks as always to all of you for reading. Take care!

Thanks for reading!
