Get it? I knows summa ya do. #wood I must have been in the middle of a mini stroke when I was drawing her fingers.

"You know, I'm something of a savior myself."

I haven't thought of a name for this guy yet.

When the chips are down, Spuds rises to the task.

Posting about some old teenage art of mine, I was reminded of a pen I often used in those days for drawing. All I could remember was a conical tip of plastic. Finally, with D's help, I figured out it was the Bic Roller! Talk about a nostalgia bomb. #pens

Hellion Cross 3/25 When the naked lady you found in space comes on your ship, uses your shower, and eats your food. You just let her.

Some artists make fun of the question "what pen did you use?" or similar tool questions... but I promise you I REALLY WANT TO KNOW. That's 100% a question I would ask someone in an interview. It's weird that some artists think it's a bad question or a boring one. Don't you like art tools, fools?

Anyone actually on Truth Social? I ask because it dawns on me that I don't know a single person who is. That doesn't mean they aren't... just I don't know that they are. Makes me think about Twitter too. Most people IRL I know don't use it, so that means even fewer would be on TS. Bots and trolls.

Crack in the Shell 2/2 Oh no! Will the Eggs be able to survive this? Can they forgive one another?

I promise I didn't do this FOR Easter. But the joke was right there and the calendar lined up. Another Crack in the Shell, 1/2 #comics

I can hear that voice.

I approve!!

As scavengers, we picked up cans along roadsides. We did this between 1978 and 1984 off and on. Many miles walked along rural highways, picking crap up. Best part was occasionally getting a candy bar and milk. I wasn't a fan of all the dead animals you run across. Ugh... summer heat. #comics

Wuuuut? @hodagrpg.bsky.social

Hellion Cross page 2/25 First time I've drawn Fawn Rainchild in a comic book in a very very long time. But she's apparently immortal, so it's cool.

An oddball character I remember from childhood was The Watch Man. This old guy was at the flea market every day. I don't remember anything about him other than he was old, wore suits, and sold watches. I can't recall ever interacting with him directly. I was too busy reading Captain Carrot. #comics

Geez... it's been 10 years since I made Crypt of the Worm Idol!! From Black Pudding issue 1. I ran this before publishing, and it was fun to have all the wormy bits for players to interact with. #ttrpg #rpg

I'll never forget Kenneth. Didn't know him very long, but I can still remember his voice and his smell. To me, as a 10-yo, he seemed like an old man. But I bet you he was probably in his 40s at the time. Joe was older for sure, gray hair, probably in his 60s. This was about 1980 or so. #comics

If you use these super cool Tombow Fudenosuke pens, don't forget you can pry off the end of the tube, smack that sucker on the desk to get the felt core out, and then just let that core sit in a bottle of fountain pen friendly ink... instant refill! Use 'em till the tips ain't no good no more.

Lovely

Hellion Cross page 1/25 I published this comic a couple years ago as a micro-run of 30 copies. Some of you out there have the physical book. I'll post a page a day for a while, just for giggles. This is a sequel to my 2005 Pan-Gea comic, more or less. But in spaaaaaaaaace!

Reminded me of this blog post I made a while back talking about how cartoonist draw the walk.

So... apparently I can't handle big doses of caffein any more. My heart flutters like a little butterfly and it makes me feel pretty bad. So I gotta go defaf. Of course when I was drinking coffee it was usually multiple cups of Cafe Bustelo, which is like 150mg or something stupid.

We've all been here, right? Check out those folded hands. Nice. Looks a bit like a face hugger. #Comics

Scavenging was a big part of my childhood. Dumps often held treasures. Of course my folks were looking for cans and wire to sell but I was looking for books and stuff to make swords out of. The nude polariods were very weird. I didn't keep those. I just remember they were gross. #comics

Brilliant

Oh wow, this is wonderful! Go check out Eric's stuff!

I keep thinking about the types of books and comics that I was exposed to in my youth and how they influenced me. I've spoken about reading Tanith Lee at age 14 (eye opening), but also I stumbled upon Faust when I was about 20 and I bought every issue as they were published.

Most prized and sacred item to own if you lived in a trailer without AC: the box fan! They cost a bit for a poor family, but we managed to have at least 1 of them at all times. During the summer, they were never turned off.

But I will say that there were hints of the coming change on album 5. Wings of Fire has tones of more power metal than blues riff rock metal.

Riot's 5th album is pretty blah. They hit that pocket of awesome with Fire Down Under and Restless Breed, but Born in America is just boring. That was the last one with that lineup. Next came the epic and forever classic Thundersteel! 180 change, solid hit. Amazing album.

Having a bit of fun with personal comics. I was thinking about all the trailers I've lived in. I can remember at least 7 different ones between age 7 and 15. Hotboxes in the summer! And those stupid rollout windows never worked.

The playtest of #ZSF #TTRPG was super fun. Didn't spend much time on the space highways, though.

SCAR TTRPG A game about being a lowlife in a dirty waste of a town with a demon mayor or something. Maybe in space on some asteroid or moon.

Office pot

"Psst. Hey gang... lemme out and I'll show ya where the treasure's at."

S.L.U.G. was like "roll a die, hope it's high". Right?

One of these little sketchbooks turned into a mini comic about personal stuff. Trailer parks... wow. I remember one park with a little river behind it. Once it flooded and I sat under the back of the trailer watching the water slowly creep up closer and closer to the house (in between rain showers).

Happens to me all the damn time.

Dang, that actually looks like the world seen through a car window in the rain. Amazing. Someday before I die I might try oil painting. I've never even touched the stuff!

New doggie door successfully installed today. So clean. So clear. So pristine. The magnet even clicks when the door closes (they don't like that). The other pic is the old door... as you can see, I got my money's worth out of it. TEN YEARS OF SERVICE RIGHT THERE. See alt text for history. 1/3

Hymla the Horn, kickin' back. I think I posed the bw of this recently. It's from a bigger piece that might be the cover of a Hymla comic book, maybe.

#BlackPuddingZine #comics "Split Second".... a tragic chapter in the saga of Imura, Boden, and Lenser. I don't have any plan right now for Black Pudding Comics. I got siderailed on other stuff, including Hymla comics. She was gonna just be part of this, but damn she needs her own book. We'll see.

Awesome line art! I really wanted to say this is a cock fighter, though. But I love it.

D&D cycles of love/hate for game designers: 1. Rediscover D&D, give it love. 2. Become irritated with class/level design. 3. Hate on D&D. 4. Play a D&D game for giggles, fall in love again. 5. Become irritated with class/level design. 6. Hate on D&D. 7. You get the idea.

The 20x9 paperboard I got for free has a very slick surface. Most media just doesn't work very well. Brush pens rub off. Even after a few days they still smudge a little. Markers smudge everything, even India ink. But India ink does work really well on this surface, drying pretty fast. Smudge free.

Irritated by CRPG posts in TTRPG feeds. I know it's because the term "RPG" has been violently captured by the CRPG market and we oldheads still say "RPG" when we 100% mean tabletop. And they say "RPG" and they 100% mean computer games. Let me have this rage. Don't try to rationalize.

Udo Dirkschneider wearing camo with his "I'm just a school boy" haircut in one of 80s most famous metal jams will never not be funny to me. This was a time when most rockers sported spandex, long hair, and flowing bandanas. Udo climbed out of bed and started filming. Accept "Balls to the Wall".

I got no use for moral puritans *or* anti-woke jokesters. But I do love people. Lots of 'em. Especially cool creative types. You make me happy. Go make something! The world is better when you do.
