And the Solution Is…

And the Solution Is…

I would have something witty to say right now, but I think I’m officially asleep and not allowed to make jokes. I need a lot of snooze time to recover from another exciting—but-now-I’m-exhausted—Emerald City Comicon weekend.

Zombie Dearest

Zombie Dearest

For now, this is the final episode of Cosplay Comics (TM) featuring the lovely (and gracious-even-when-she’s-one-of-the-evil-dead) Brieanna Brock.

My thanks to Brie for being such a good sport. It’s been great fun. I hope to do more photo comics sometime with Brie and possibly other models. (If you’d like to see more too, let me know.)

SCENE: Model Brieanna Brock made up to look like a zombie.

I’m Sorry, But…

I’m Sorry, But…

Is your significant other cold and distant? Surprise. It's apparently your fault! Original art from First Kiss #3 (1958.)

Advice to myself:

I probably won’t ever win an argument by saying, “I’m sorry!”

But I’ll certainly lose fewer if I say “I’m sorry.” And then shut the *&^% up!

↓ Transcript
SCENE: Man and woman talking.

MAN: I’m sorry, but…

WOMAN: Stop at “but!” We’ll
both be happier!
