Not Impressed?

well, here's my last post for the wonderful month of July...I think that this has been a pretty good month here at the district...starting to come closer to realizing a goal...or making one at least...comics are being drawn more or less regularly...getting somewhere...not sure where...but moving at least...and that is a nice thing!

thank you for your views...they really are appreciated...

Mechanical District Open House

just keepin' it real...real daily...or as close as possible

thought this one would be kind of fun...Mechanical District open house:

What do you mean everything's broken???!!!

Suggestions?

Honestly here...any suggestions...please let me know what i could do to make this better...i am planning on redesigning the look at some point...templates are just not really my style...i'm completely open to suggestion on this...any creative, constructive criticism is welcome...this is a work in progress and right now the pages are pretty much sketch-book scans and are as-is (i'll be working on that as well)

common sense checked in at the door?

Gary Gremlinski: Jerry the Gremlin by night/Gary Gremlinski by day...

Do you text your mother with that finger?

Rough day? Smooth it out...

i did a really old comic with a robot sheep
a joke about where steel wool comes from:
a
robot sheep
bad joke...i know...
i didn't post it until 2010...i think i drew it either 04 or 05

another glorious workday

might i go daily?  it's almost looking like it...i just may...sometimes i don't draw a strip for a day or two...sometimes i draw it, but just have no time to scan it in...so, for now i'm drawing at my own pace (when inspiration slaps me in the face) and scanning/uploading when the moment is opportune. (usually weekends)

please enjoy this comic:

next to the speech bubble that says, "oh joy! i get to go to work." it says "sarcasm at it's best" sorry it's so small.

missed out on comic-con...AGAIN

My-facing at work...uh oh!

Slave to social networking???

social disorder networking viral something-a-rather

here's Leon social networking:

tired of it, but he's hooked...

there's no turning back...

adding value?

Peon...a remaking of the original

this particular page(s) lies in the "Gist" heading...the "Gist"
one of my really early pages...my working title at the time was Peon...or Leon the Peon...
still might call the first chapter by that name...any opinions???

i was attempting to make this as close to the original as possible...granted, i do draw both Leon and #13 slightly different these days...but look at any comic and you can see some evolution/progression of characters:

1950's snoopy looks quite a bit different from the current snoopy...this is something i've been scared of a bit...and it's felt awkward to be drawing things one way and then wanting to improve something...i worry that when/if i get this out there, that the earlier stuff will look like rubbish...i know i can't be too much the perfectionist...it halts progress and the progression/evolution is actually a good thing...
consistency will happen with consistency
i just have to be consistent enough to become consistent...

broke the mold

 a quick little gag inspired by my five-year-old son:

Passing the buck...

this one has the boss prompting Leon to work harder...who then advises #13 to step on it as well...

a weekend off?
