After yesterday’s heady confessional, let’s go with something a little lighter. Fulfilling a request for Sarah Potter (daughter of my Ok, PANIC! cohort Jeff Potter), it’s Squirrel Girl! The only things I know about Squirrel Girl are: a) she was created by Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko b) she was created in 1992. I honestly thought …

201 – Justice, Nevada
If I remember correctly, today is the birthday of Bruce O. Hughes. Bruce and I met in art school in 1998, around the time we were graduating. For no real reason, up until that point, I disliked the man. Just me and my long string of anti-social asshole behavior. When we finally bonded (over Bruce …
200 – Animal Man
Grant Morrison’s Animal Man is in my top 10 favorite comic runs of all time. It’s a trippy, fun, dark, and brilliant take on what was essentially a z-list character, proving that any character can become a success with the right support behind them.

198 – Black Canary
Black Canary is on my list of requests, but it’s a pretty specific request, so this doesn’t count. Fishnets are annoying to draw.
197 – Zatanna

I redrew a small part of it and worked some photoshoppy magic to pull together a drawing I don’t really hate. I …
196 – Ultimate Evil Ernie
Recently for Gutter Trash, we (I) reviewed the worst comic that I’ve ever read, Evil Ernie: War of the Dead. There is a small part of me that thinks of Evil Ernie as a neat concept, so I drew him as if I suddenly got the rights to the character. Smiley no longer talks/is sentient, …
195 – Apathy
This guy does not care for or about you.
194 – Accusation
This guy disapproves of everything you are doing.
