Drew this many years ago as a jam piece with mah’boogie Jason Young as a birthday gift for our boogie Joe Grunenwald. I’m not one to criticize Jason Young or his art. He’s one of the damn finest cartoonists I know. However, this entire piece is terrible, mostly due to my own contributions and I …

240b. Jason Young
Today the 300th episode (BATMAN & ROBIN!) of my podcast Gutter Trash is released. The 300th episode is a long time coming, in fact, it should have happened last year. Unfortunately, tragedy struck, and my co-host Jason needed some time away from the show. When he came back ready, it wasn’t too long after that …

Today’s bonus is not a Batman villain (although it’d be awesome if it were!). I’m headed out to SPACE today with my pals Joe G. and Juliet. It’s a yearly Small Press and Comic Expo in Columbus, OH. I’ve been frequently, usually setting up a table with my pal Jason Young (who will be there …
074 – Warbow
Here’s a thing that passed me by in my childhood, The Saga of Crystar. There was a comic and a toyline, but as far as the Shonborn household was concerned, it never happened. So, Jason Young Fortnight ends with Warbow, a supporting character from the Crystar mythos. It was not easy to find anything on …
073 – Mr. Monster
Back to the things I’ve not read. Though this one makes no sense, because Mr. Monster seems right up my alley. While researching this character for Jason Young Fortnight, I discovered that Mr. Monster was actually a golden-age public domain Canadian comic character. Michael T. Gilbert took the character and made it his own. Anyhoo, …
072 – Roachmill
Hey! I’ve read this one! Sorta. Jason Young Fortnight gave me the original run of the Roachmill series. I thought he was “giving” giving them to me, not to borrow. I was wrong. Because, as all books that I believe I own, it gets set in a pile and remains unread. I did read the …
071 – Batman
Never read this goddman book either. But if Jason Young Fortnight insists on these obscure bullshit nobodies, The Carpal Tunnel abides. I was trying to experiment with something minimalistic and simple looking. Guess what? Minimalistic and simple is very difficult and frustrating.
070 – Cerebus
Jason Young Fortnight does not support misogyny.
069 – Black Vulcan
Hey, I’ve never read a Black Vulcan comic either! Jesus Christ, Jason Young Fortnight! Oh wait… Black Vulcan doesn’t exist in comics. He was a stand-in for Black Lightning on the various cartoons called the Super Friends. He was, like every other character on the Super Friends, bland and generic. However, I personally prefer to …
068 – Carrie McNinch
Jason Young Fortnight’s a big fan of autobiographical mini-comics. One of those is a diary comic called You Don’t Get There From Here. Guess what? I’ve never read it. But I do not particularly enjoy autobio minicomics not called Veggie Dog Saturn. But that’s just me. Anyhoo, he asked me to draw the subject of …
