Our guy is out on the open water at night. Silhouetted against a purplish night sky he paddles a small boat with a single oar through a massive congregation of alligators. He had told the gators earlier that their eyes would sparkle in the moonlight. Reader, he was correct and he lets the gators know. “Gators,” he says. “ I told ya your eyes would sparkle in the moonlight.”

spotted spiderman in new york- he is smaller than i expected

Blue fella holds a six-pack in full sprint as he screams “YOLO”. He leaps off a cliff toward water, cheered by his pals, but: he is fatally injured when he lands on a rock down below. A conspicuously blue egg is born from the rear-end of a sea turtle. In the final frame: grumpy blue sea-turtle travels the ocean with a six-pack ring around its neck. Perhaps it’s not true “You Only Live Once”.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: Carl Sagan and a scientist colleague look into space, watching Voyager 1 (an unmanned space device designed to float eternally away from earth) fly into deep space. Sagan says, “well, away she goes. The next big step in extraterrestrial contact.” Panel 2: he asks his colleague, “what album did you decide to put on it?” Panel 3: Voyager 1 drifts away, earth shrinking in the distance. Attached to the spacecraft is a CD copy of Gucci Mane - Trap Story. The album cover is absolutely insane and designed to looked like a Toy Story spoof with a ton of jewelry and a trap house in the background.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel is titled “things that are spooky”. We see a book of hexes, a skull, candles, a pentagram in blood, and vampire teeth. Pointing off panel we see a speech bubble that says “I love it”.
The second panel is titled “things that are cute”. We see a strawberry cake, a boba drink, a bunny plushie, and a cute notebook and pen. Again, we see a speech bubble pointing off panel that says “I love it”.
The third panel is titled “things that are spooky AND cute”. We see a row of cute decorative ghosts.
The fourth panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, completely freaking out at this combination.

Cowboys again. This time one of our boys has lost his boots. Standing in a field of long grass the cowboy points towards the ground and shouts back to his colleague, “Lil bone people got muh boots.” This makes no sense to the other cowboy who sits atop his horse away from the action. He responds, “Lil wut?” Sure enough in the foreground we see a squad of little bone people scampering through the grass with the stolen cowboy boots. They’re thrilled. How the bone people got the boots off the cowboy is unclear.

Artist’s note: I tend to draw drawings from the same perspective (straight on) most of the time. This idea came about when I was goofin around trying to draw a character from a lower angle. I like that the story unfolds with the foreground, mid-ground, and background all working together. There’s a draft of this one included in the Spooky Pants book. Coming out next week!

I Don't Sleep Well. The title is rendered in biological looking script. The action takes place in the cross section of an apartment, where the characters are in front of a large window with the angle such that we are looking down on to the street. Insect arms reach out to a woman, whose silhouette is replicated behind her. The moon shines down.

it’s his time

Ballpoint pen and colored pencil.

At the top of the piece we see the delicately drawn branches and leaves of an apple tree. Just beneath the tree limbs, a bat is flying with one of the green apples in its mouth. This is when the morphing begins, reader. A sequence of 13 drawings show the bat morphing into a teeny witch (with completion of the morph around drawing #9). The morphing creates a spiral leading us to the center of the page where the little witch is running towards her basket filled with apples. It’s likely she’ll re-morph into a bat again and the morphing pattern will continue.

A pack of witches dance around a fire circle summoning a massive demon in the flames. One of our witches is down though, reader. She lets her sisters know that she won’t be continuing the circle. “Gotta sit this one out, sisters,” she says. “Rolled my ankle.”

I played around with adding a lot of detail to this scene (more shadows, trees in the background, etc.) I think the simpler version works but I’m not sure how I feel about the fire demon drawing. I think I like it. Was having trouble getting the composition of the scene set up with a text bubble in the bottom right. I do like the purple against the black dresses and little boots.
