This Thursday was supposed to be the start of New York Comic Con, which was subsequently cancelled. This constitutes the fourth comic-con I was supposed to appear at in 2020 that has been shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. This one is arguably my favorite con of the year, and The Lovely Anna and I are sad we won’t be in the Big Apple this weekend seeing so many friends and peers. Like the other three cancelled cons, I will instead be opening up my “Virtual Artist’s Alley Table” here on my website for the same hours as the physical convention was supposed to… READ MORE
MAD writer Desmond Devlin, MAD artist and former art director Sam Viviano and I will be doing a live panel discussion for US military and their families week Wednesday.

This is only for service members and their dependents, so if that’s you follow the registration link above to get a virtual seat at the panel! READ MORE

That will likely not be until the second half of 2021, or maybe even a full year from now. Ever since I… READ MORE

MAD writer Desmond Devlin and I are too, mostly because we have been doing the majority of them for the last twenty years and they aren’t paying us anymore! Well we decided to do something about it! We are pleased to announce the launch of our IndieGoGo campaign to produce a book FULL of movie parodies in the classic, humorous vein. Full color! Real paper! Hardcover! Reasonably proficient grammar! It’s called Claptrap!: Our first parody is already done (see splash page above)! MAD… READ MORE
