Phoenix library “posters”

I’ve been back from the first of the summer trips for a few days now…digging into the to-do list in between family obligations, Dad Taxi runs, and World Cup soccer. One of the Phoenix to-dos is submitting applications for upcoming zine fests and related events. These operations often want to see samples, an easy taskContinue reading “Phoenix library “posters””

#NobleHeadFriday – The Kitty Fluff Blues

We’re going to have some musical fun with Noble Head Funnies today, pulling from Noble Head Funnies #2…and meet a new character! Edward Bolman does it again! (Longreach is a favorite of mine.)

#HumpdayHutchinsons – My Fish Told Me of THE CRAVING

If I had to pick the quintessential Joe Hutchinson story, there are a lot of good ones. But then you would throw me up to a wall and threaten me within an inch of my life…so I’d have to pick one. Whimpering, shaking uncontrollably, I’d cry out: MY FISH TOLD ME OF THE CRAVING! (AndContinue reading “#HumpdayHutchinsons – My Fish Told Me of THE CRAVING”

#HumpdayHutchinsons – Tales of the Giant Octopus

Urban Myth or not, Joe Hutchinson tells quite a story in today’s #HumpdayHutchinsons entry, 1986’s Tales of the Giant Octopus minicomic! Isn’t Joe the best? On a technical note, the original minicomic had bright red stock on the outside. I scanned in greyscale, so the red translated to grey backgrounds. But black and white isContinue reading “#HumpdayHutchinsons – Tales of the Giant Octopus”

#NobleHeadFriday – Kitty Fluff digs to Japan!

Welcome to #NobleHeadFriday! We’ve just started this series, but I thought it wise to introduce you to Edward Bolman‘s signature character, Kitty Fluff! The product of the combined imaginations of Edward Bolman and his son, J.P. Noel, this excerpt can be found with over 300 other pages of fantastic cartooning in Noble Head Funnies, availableContinue reading “#NobleHeadFriday – Kitty Fluff digs to Japan!”

Meet the Hutchinsons reviews!

Issue 283 of Tetragrammaton Fragments, the United Fanzine Organization newsletter, bubbled over with enthusiasm for the many projects going on here in Central Ohio. But chief among those is the feedback received for the Phoenix Masters projects: Let’s look at the scuttlebutt over Meet the Hutchinsons! Steve Keeter Chairman Emeritus (Mantra, OM) Larry Johnson (DreamContinue reading “Meet the Hutchinsons reviews!”

#SundaySteveWillis – Cranium Frenzy #25!

We’re back at it with #SundaySteveWillis, this time getting up to Cranium Frenzy #25! This issue was fun in that Steve shelved the long-form story for at least an issue and instead rolled out a bunch of short (almost all single-page) strips. Not only are they good, but they show off a little more ofContinue reading “#SundaySteveWillis – Cranium Frenzy #25!”
