Tornado Season: Fog Of Sleep

June 30, 2006

Here we have two people falling out of trapdoors into the fog of sleep. I like the bird on the left, but what was supposed to be a hungry wolf on the right turned into a big goofy dragon in a party hat. I guess there’s no accounting for dreams. Did I mention I haven’t [...]

Tornado Season: Slush Puppies

June 21, 2006

This is a reference to a conversation I had a week ago with my roommate Merritt: Merritt: It’s hot. Me: We should get some cold frosty drinks. Merritt: Yes, we should. Me: Where’s got slush puppies? Merritt: Did you just say, ‘Where’s got slush puppies?’ Me: Yes. So I was raised in the country. Don’t [...]

Tornado Season: Lucky Star

June 19, 2006

Is it true that, when no one else is around, 90% of astronomers listen to Madonna’s “Lucky Star” while mapping the constellations? Could be. Is it true that this comic is devolving into a heel kicking perfect storm of girlish whimsy? Could be.

Tornado Season: Six Flags

June 16, 2006

The last time I went to Six Flags, they had employees dressed up as Justice League characters walking around the park. When my friend Mike and I saw Batman and Robin, we decided it would rock if we had photos taken of us fighting them. So I go up to Robin, and I’m like,”Would it [...]

Tornado Season: Humid Night

June 14, 2006

Drawn on a bar napkin, two rum and cokes (a piratical drink in and of itself) into the evening, not wanting to go back into the gritty humid night but wanting to smoke a cigarette.

Tornado Season: Donkey Headed Boy

June 12, 2006

This is a donkey headed boy, as in “I feel like a”. You ever wake up feeling stubborn and mistaken? That’s a carrot he’s thinking of by the way, or a rocket ship, if that’s your thing. Both a recommendation and a condemnation of persistence in the face of common sense, for the spectacular results [...]

Tornado Season: Distract C.S. Lewis

June 9, 2006

C.S. Lewis is distracted by a hand puppet while a second hand puppet steals his wallet. Not many scholars are aware that this experience directly influenced his classic works “The Problem of Pain” & “A Grief Observed” as well as “Surprised By Joy (And To A Lesser Extent, Evil Puppets)”. I am getting better at [...]

Tornado Season: Old Prospector

June 6, 2006

This is something I drew earlier in the year after a breakup. I like the flames on the words. I still think it’s funny, but it makes me feel a little embarrassed. Maybe that’s because despite the lightness of tone, I can see some real frustration and sadness there. Definitely the first drawing I had [...]

Tornado Season: The First Few Waves

June 5, 2006

The cat, the canary, their floating box and the rapidly approaching wave are destined to collide eventually. The first few waves I drew looked like big cartoon glove hands at best, and big sticks of broccoli exuding a sense of menace at worst. I like this third wave the best. Why doesn’t the canary fly [...]

Tornado Season: Eye Of God

June 1, 2006

This is me asking the eye of God why my shoes won’t stay tied, because they won’t, and I want answers. The eye of God looks like a flying porcupine, which may be why the answer is withheld. Wouldn’t that be cool, though, if there was a flying porcupine that people could yell questions at? [...]
