Boo!

I just got back from seeing a truly rotten zombie movie. (Rotten in a good way, of course, as all zombie movies should be.)

Apparently the secret to enjoying a truly rotten zombie movie (in this case “The Children” from 1980) is to have a really stiff drink and to watch it with a bunch of other people who have really stiff drinks in a movie theater rented out for the evening.

It helps greatly if the zombies are cute radioactive children who literally hug people to death. (Sizzle. Argggh!)

Audience participation is another plus. Best audience commentary of the night: “Hugs! Not drugs!”

Runner up: “You just shot a dead dog.”

My thanks to my pal Mark Rahner and film critic Robert Horton for hosting a truly rotten evening. By the way, the name of their wild west zombie comic book is…”Rotten.” And, yes, it’s “rotten” in a good way too.

Writing a gag for art that has no visible people in it is always a challenge. For a long time now, I’ve been wanting to come up with a great gag for this piece of art. This is the best I’ve come up with (so far) that’s reasonably clean! ]]> Last Second Hero

This is one of the first Last Kiss gags I ever wrote…and it’s probably still my wife’s favorite gag. One thing that’s different, though, is that my colorist Allen Freeman has given the characters a new look. No longer all white. And certainly not blonde.

This is one of the first Last Kiss gags I ever wrote…and it’s probably still my wife’s favorite gag. One thing that’s different, though, is that my colorist Allen Freeman has given the characters a new look. No longer all white. And certainly not blonde. It’s nice to have a little diversity–something that was extremely scarce in the original romance comics.
