INTRO

I recently discovered this treasure during my last visit helping clean out my parent's basement. Revisiting the characters, games, and publications I created as a child brought me to tears of laughter. I hope it does the same for you. I will be posting the work as I scan them. ENJOY!

I am now employed FT and would like any future donations to go to Child's Play; Penny Arcade's awesome fundraiser for kids in hospitals.

EVAN THE MUTATED ONE PIN UPS!

Here's the last of them. I didn't realize how much material this kid inspired. Farewell, 4 Square monster. You will live in the digital age now. The originals are officially going into recycling.

"EVAN THE MUTATED ONE" Comic #3


So after the long delay of posting (I got a FT job, YAY!) I finally get to wrap up Evan the Mutated One. Looks like it was never completed either. I imagine I didnt want anyone in Lord Ct to actually die and it was just too much fun to draw Evan over and over again. Next post will be a small handful of PinUps. Then we can move on. Enjoy!

RUGGLE-FART!

Ah, Evan the Mutated One Comic #2. Mutant power fists, evil eyes, TMNT sneakers and 4 Square bicep tattoos. What else could you need in a super villain? Anyone remember the jello ad with that character? I couldnt find the commercial online - just cosby. He was a prisoner that had shovels for hands and repeated, "I really dig jello. I really dig pudding" if I recall correctly. It was really annoying. Let me know if you find it anywhere. He sneaks into this comic somehow and is just as annoying.

SUPER HERO FIGURE STUDIES

So I remember getting "How to Draw Superhero" books. I never did like the segment line figure drawing. I def tried it out a few times, but ended up always looking for the shortcuts to have a final drawing done quickly.

"EVAN THE MUTATED ONE" Comic #1

Ah, let the weird, young boy humor continue. It's so odd how boys just like to make fun of each other. This comic has way too many inside jokes and confusing drawings. Evan was the new kid that moved into the area and was a little "off". A single child with some weird social skills, or lack there of. We were not so nice to him (or to each other) and we showed it through these comics. Evan's mutated variation reminds me of Rat Fink before I even knew who Fink was. Read it if you dare...and there will be 3 more. I think I will be keeping these within this post by simply updating it instead of adding more posts because if you didnt grow up on Lord Ct in the 80's you wont get 75% of the jokes. PDF comic after the break.

MOTO ROADER COMIC BOOK

Ah, comic books. It was always exciting to go to the local comic shop and pick up a new issue with amazing heroes and villains. But home made comics were personal, funny, and uncensored! This comic is based on all my childhood friends as we got together to play video games every day after school. It is always more fun to rub elbows when you are taking smack vs wearing a headset in video games. Those were great times. In fact, we had a video game club that had required weekly meetings. I will be posting the club newsletters too (where now I realize I have been doing my profession of graphic design A LOT LONGER than I thought if I count those page layouts and design).

CALVIN & BRETT?


"Brett" was my "doodle" that went on a lot of things. My first mass doodle character was Bill the Cat after I learned a quick way to draw him. Brett followed shortly thereafter when I wanted my own original character. As I got older I learned that drawings could be funny, not just fun. Now granted, the next few posts will be confusing at times due to the nature of a the humor coming from a young boy where as some things are not as funny to an adult. LOL I also noticed that my skill and care dropped as my young brain focused more on jokes and speed. But some will still give a good chuckle just like the Calvin & Hobbes I clipped out to express my emotion during Brett's little rampage with heavy weaponry.
