Oversized newspaper Sunday strips were always some of the most fun.
Panel 1: We see a vast rocky landscape with a jagged outcropping building up a type of enclosure. In the foreground is a large Rhinosaurus-like creature, the Rhyvar, digging through the dirt. Two narrates. T: The Rhyvar is a massive, territorial creature. They section off these wide, open areas and use their horns as a shovel to search for crabopods which inhabit these underground tunnel networks, so expansive, the Rhyvar spends all day searching. --- Panel 2: Below the rocky terrain of the Rhyvar, Cassie and Two are crawling through a small tunnel on their hands and knees. Cassie looks at Two as he continues to explain. T: So, down here we can safely avoid the Rhyvar in it's own area! --- Panel 3: Cassie and Two pause in the tunnels as a crabopod, a small crab-like bug, silently walks past them in the opposite direction. Cassie asks concerned: C: By pretending to be it's food? --- Panel 4: The pair remain silent in the tunnel, staring at each other as the crabopod continues past them. --- Panel 5: The Rhyvar's horn crashes through the top of the panel and into the tunnel below, directly in front of Cassie and Two! Both curl up in fetal position against one another, cramming themselves against the side of the panel.

New Futurama finale!!!
Final Ending: The Last Conclusion!!!

Introduced in the first episode and revisited in the last, drawing Old New York was a special honor for me. I had a lot of fun with the detailed mess of a city and it was a really nice way to wrap up my time on Futurama
Futurama screenshot from the episode "Final Ending: The Last Conclusion" The decrepid remains of Old New York seen in a wide shot. In the foreground is a fallen marque from the movie Doombot 3000, rated PG 13 Futurama screenshot from the episode "Final Ending: The Last Conclusion" The decrepid remains of Old New York. Fry and Leela are falling into frame from an open sewer grate. We look up at them and see the empire state building and surrounding building is disrepair. Futurama screenshot from the episode "Final Ending: The Last Conclusion" Fry and Leela "hang" from a film reel in the middle of Old New York. A light shines through the film strip and projects a movie onto the side of a decrepid building. Futurama screenshot from the episode "Final Ending: The Last Conclusion" Train tracks in the middle of Old New York. In the middle is a pile of film strip. In the distance we can see a broken fence, fallen pipes, and an overall destroyed city.

I don't think there was a solid reason for why I was the only one allowed to do Disenchantment stuff, but it was kind of an honor to dive back into this world and style for a little farewell. Plus, I got to draw King Elfo's sword and a very, very tiny window to toss Luci out of.
Futurama x Disenchantment screenshot Elfo attempts to knight a sleeping Fry. I drew his very small sword with a little gem on it! Futurama x Disenchantment screenshot Dagmar, Gomer, and Fry in the torture dungeon. I believe Dagmar is holding an intenstine yanker? I can't remember. It's very spirally and slinky-ish with a stabby bit on the end. Futurama x Disenchantment screenshot Bean, Luci, and Elfo cheering on Fry with the rest of the towns people. Behind fry is a block where Bean's head was chopped off. That's the part I drew. Futurama x Disenchantment screenshot A very wide shot of the Dreamland castle featuring a very, very, tiny broken window where an even tinier Luci is being tossed out of.

New Futurama x Disenchantment!!!
A New New York Yankee in King Elfo's Court!!!

This was such a strange episode. We couldn't design new Disenchantment BGs, so everything was pulled from older episodes. Any new asset was designed by me, exclusively as an overlay or as a new prop.

Framed with flowers and candles on either side. In the front hangs her boots.

Did you know Disenchantment crossed over with Futurama this week? Because it sure did!!
Black and white comic Panel 1: Bart Simpson is talking to Philip. J. Fry while holding his skateboard. Bart: Hey man, I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you? Fry: Oh, I'm Fry. I'm from another Matt Groening project, but we've been cancelled a few times. Panel 2: Both look off to the left as they hear someone call from off-panel. Off screen: Ooooh Look at me! Panel 3: Fry and Bart are looking far into the distance at Luci from Disenchantment, who is slapping his bum mockingly. Luci: I'm a cancelled Matt Groening project! Panel 4: Elfo interrupts Luci, who now looks disgruntled. Fry and Bart wince at each other. Elfo: I'm Elfo!

New Futurama Episode "Ocean's Three"!!!

Of all the water themed things in the episode, the only one I'm really familiar with is Gilligan's Island. Still, for an anthology, I had a lot of fun with this one!
Screenshot from the Futurama episode "Ocean's Three" A reference to the opening of Love Boat with lush greenery and a palm tree in the foreground. Across the water is the Planet Empress docked by a hilly island Screenshot from the Futurama episode "Ocean's Three" Captain Leela spins the captain's wheel onboard the Planet Empress. She's vignetted by a port window, referencing the Love Boat opening. Screenshot from the Futurama episode "Ocean's Three" Captain Leela comes down the Planet Express boat kitchen stairs where Hermes is working the stove. The kitchen is wrecked and disgusting. It's a reference to Waterworld Screenshot from the Futurama episode "Ocean's Three" The Planet Empress crashes into an iceberg and it all bursts into frame. This is a reference to crashing into an iceberg and raising global temperatures melting our icecaps.

Wolverine should be a short, hairy, little creature and ever since Hugh Jackman took on the role he's been a vaguely gruff, well kept, attractive man and it's upset me greatly for years.

Ok, lesson learned: I wont be buying any more custom VHS tapes.

Most people making them either compress the audio down to a garbled mess or they don't understand that putting a 4x3 image into a 16x9 project and exporting a 4x3 video will result in a pillarboxed image.

Sept 13th is my birthday!! I'm old!!
But not old enough to not ask for a present.

I'd super appreciate it if people took a look at some of my comics. I'm proud of them and would love for you to take a look!

And don't let that bastard Mario tell you his birthday was Mar. 10.

Super Mario Bros. debuted on September 13th 1985 on the Nintendo Entertainment System in Japan. This was the game that established Mario's trademark gameplay style away from the original arcade.

He's a liar trying to be cute.
