The Phoenix Productions library of Joe & Daryl Hutchinson/Anthrax Press material is reasonably deep, but it’s not exhaustive. Every now and then, the guys surprise me with a piece that I’ve never seen before. And then there are the times when the tables turn. Here’s an example – Where’s Jimmy? – a lighthearted speculative pieceContinue reading “#Humpday Hutchinsons – Exclusive!”

The Red Rods Report is live!
One kid goes off to college this week; the other two start up at school as well. Isn’t it timely that my other big summer project is complete? Matt Levin, creator/publisher of Walking Man Comics – the only predominantly rubber-stamp sequential artist I know – has had me helping him through the process of buildingContinue reading “The Red Rods Report is live!”
#SundaySteveWillis – Good cartooning comes in pairs!
Today’s #SundaySteveWillis entry pulls from the shorts-filled 29th issue of Cranium Frenzy, a terrific look at Steve’s wild imagination on so, so many topics. Here are a couple of examples: (Did you think I was going to pass up a chance to share a Mrs. Buginthebutt appearance?) I’m serious. Steve goes all over the placeContinue reading “#SundaySteveWillis – Good cartooning comes in pairs!”
#NobleHeadFriday – Stop and appreciate
Wrapping up our week of Phoenix Masters spotlights…might I suggest you pick up your coffee, take a nice long sip, and pause to consider what a great artist Edward Bolman is? I mean, consider what he has done on this page. Take your time, I’ll wait. Sigh. So good. The product of the combined imaginationsContinue reading “#NobleHeadFriday – Stop and appreciate”
#HumpdayHutchinsons – Why, hello Daryl!
The rule of thumb on these #HumpdayHutchinson posts is to show off a Joe Hutchinson story…and that’s wise, as Joe’s stuff is awesome…but I thought I’d mix it up and share some of older brother Daryl Hutchinson’s ridiculously impressive artwork. Lordy lordy, look at that detail. The linework, the pointillism…whoo boy. If you want yourContinue reading “#HumpdayHutchinsons – Why, hello Daryl!”
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.) This story, and so much more, is in the complete Noble Head Funnies by Bolman and J.P. Noel, a wonderful Phoenix MastersContinue reading “#NobleHeadFriday – The Kitty Fluff Blues”
#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”
