75 years ago today, folks

This week on my website: It's the ELEVENTH Stranger Things story and that means ELEVEN STORIES straight from the depths of Hawkins! Part Three is up and includes stories 8 through 11, taking us to the end! #webcomic #webcomics #StrangerThings www.platypuscomix.com/st/?issue=11...

It's been a while since the last site update, but there's a reason. This coming Sunday will be the biggest material upload in years -- both the comic and the article are incredibly large. Hope you enjoy!

This was a fun commission. The person requesting wanted an imaginary “80 Page Giant” of Wonder Woman doing only mundane things. Haha! Honestly, it makes me laugh.

Kids WB premiered thirty years ago today! Fortunately I already wrote about that premiere day. All commercial-filled copies of the opening lineup floating around YouTube are mine -- I remember having to set the timer because my affiliate ran it at 6 AM. www.platypuscomix.com/kidswbyourse...

#rosecitycomiccon Day 3 #RCCC #rccc2025

#rosecitycomiccon Day 2 When I got there I walked right into a Rocky Horror dance party. Unfortunately in the time it took to fumble with my phone and open the camera I could only catch the ending...also, the stupid thing shot it vertically, so ignore the conversion watermark.

Any con where you immediately see dinosaurs upon entering is going to be a good one. #RoseCityComicCon #RCCC #RCCC2025

This is how I know this list was finalized before June. This weekend's #RoseCityComicCon is going to be drowning in Rumis, Zoeys, Miras and Derpys with no designated time or place for them to coalesce.

One of my favorite scenes from Animaniacs is Yakko's bit from Christmas Plotz, where the scene just suddenly turns into a Bubsy Berkeley musical number on a staircase. Not only is it animated beautifully, this is the "third ghost" part of the story, so it's the OPPOSITE of what you'd expect.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

I know it's been a while since I last updated my site. I'm back after a little break and working on an update now. New material should hit next week!

So I guess Hopper decided to stick with that long beard? #StrangerThings #StrangerThings5 #StrangerThings5Teaser

Wow, this is freaky. I just found this tape today. #Conan #ConanOBrien

Strong characters are the most important part of any story, because if the characters aren't interesting, you won't care what happens to them. So I'm always on the lookout for great "character moments" in films. This new "K-Pop Demon Hunters" movie has a lot of these moments.

Here's the animatic for Tom Ruegger and Paul Dini's indie cartoon www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOFD...

Yesterday Netflix finally provided enough info about its upcoming Stranger Things cartoon to make a newspost possible, but they didn't provide a single image of it. All I had to go on was the description "big heads" with "sculpted faces." From that, I sketched out this lovely piece:

My cousin had a VHS full of episodes of the old 1992 Gumball series that I watched over and over again. I still get the song stuck in my head.

This week on my website: be here for the wrapup to the latest Stranger Things tale LOST IN THE AETHER! How will El and Mike make it home? Can they? #webcomic #webcomics #strangerthings www.platypuscomix.com/st/?issue=10...

Frankly I think it's hilarious how the 90s had both "this food is for KIDS ONLY! Adults don't GET IT!" campaigns and "this food is for ADULTS ONLY! Kids don't GET IT!" campaigns.

I guess he won the lawsuit

THIS WEEK ON MY WEBSITE: Eleven has figured out a way to take Mike into the Void with her, which has become a problem now that they're both LOST IN THE AETHER! Don't miss our new Stranger Things story which continues today! #webcomic #webcomics #StrangerThings www.platypuscomix.com/st/?issue=10...

I think this was just about almost everything being given out. Visited three different shops today to gather all this -- and Portland has far more! #FreeComicBookDay #freecomicbookday2025 #fcbd #FCBD2025

The site update I promised for today may not happen because I'm having problems related to uploading. This is especially annoying because the site hasn't been updated in over a month and I really wanted to make it this weekend. Keep watching: the update will go up as soon as it's possible.

This is something I've wanted to draw for a while, it turned out great, and it'll be the new splash image for the main page of the Stranger Things webcomic when it is updated next Sunday. But there's one major thing wrong with it. Can you guess what it is?

Here's a comic I had as a kid, but then lost, but then recently found. The interesting thing about BETTY AND ME #198 is that when I read it a second time, I noticed something I hadn't before: apparently, this issue contained a slam on John K.

I was worried we wouldn't get the other Kongs in Bananza, but buried deep within the hours of Treehouse footage today was this. Good to see you, Cranky. And he's actually cranky! Too many of these newer games take the edge off him...

In 2021, I saw this at the Goodwill outlet and had profound thoughts. It was from a library. I thought of all the schools it's been carried to, all the camping trips it's been on, all the backpacks it's been stuffed inside, the countless children over the decades that have been entertained by it.

I've heard good things about that upcoming series, "Giant Closeup Of The Netflix Logo"

Wow. These are the highest-quality books I've ever gotten out of a Kickstarter, and the surprise inclusion of the first issue of the latest Darkwing comic -- which wasn't part of the pledge -- is going above and beyond. Keenest gear ever, Dynamite

This week on my website: the second half of Mulberry in "Debbie's Dream Dude" is finally up! platypuscomix.com/mulberry/ind... Also: Filmation Studios closed down in 1989...but did it have to? How long could Filmation have really lasted? We find out! www.platypuscomix.com/educational/...

Recreation of a Power Rangers comic I made when I was 8 years old.

Every time Clip Studio Paint offers a full new upgrade I usually go for it. The reason is because I want to support the perpetual license version and want them to keep believing there's demand. CSP going subscription-only would be a disaster. It's on sale now; I'd suggest you do the same.

Thanks for everything George Lowe.

Anytime's a good time to hear this again youtu.be/Vn1pf0Xi3nU

Random Memory Moment: at one point Burger King put their chicken tenders in these weird, loud Lichtenstein-inspired cases. Not a limited-time thing; this went on for at least two years. Why, who knows. I miss the kind of world where stuff like this was considered normal.

DUCKS EAT SNOW!! My phone camera isn't great, but trust me -- they eat snow. I just witnessed it myself

This week on my website: THE FIRST UPDATE OF 2025! A brand new Mulberry story! Who's Debbie and who's her dream dude? That's what Mulberry would like to know (actually she doesn't care).... platypuscomix.com/mulberry/ind...

Sorry the next update to my website has taken so long. I know the Christmas decorations are still up. It'll happen tomorrow, I promise. Here's a hint as to what awaits:

been watching Bob play Ace Attorney Investigations 2 and all I can think of is this

Did not know "Hourly Comic Day" was a thing until it was too late. A lot of cartoonists I follow have posted their daily routines in comic form and then shrugged "sorry my life is so boring"...but they all live more exciting lives than me (and they live with partners, which must be nice)
