Public Flogging for 2/20/2025
Sticks and stones may break the bones but it's also what they make pencils from.
Status Updates:
It’s possible that I have been drawing more in a day currently than I have since high school. It’s reached a point where I am doing my best to be “organized”. That means I have a sketchbook and that I also keep notes in it. I’ll probably end up with a large-ish number of idea that I completely forget about. I’m that level of organized.
I am working at failing intentionally this year. Each month I plan to submit a batch of comics to periodicals of my choosing. I have already sent off a batch to the New Yorker. I would love for them to use one but I also won’t mind if they don’t. I’ll certainly share the ones that get rejected.
In addition to the New Yorker I found that the American Legion takes submissions. I’ll be sending them some. I wonder if any of the hot rod type magazines still run comics. I know CARtoons magazine exists but that’s maybe more than I can bite off. Let me know if you have any suggested magazines (like Saturday Evening Post).
Poor Jim
Jim was a great roommate but dull as hell.
Sunday Hands
On Sunday I draw hands. I’m not great at it yet but I am trying.
Peace
I didn't have anything very witty to say the day I posted this. Go hug your pets.. if you have that type of pet. Can you hug a spider?
Blue Prayers
Be careful what you pray for. Our fearless leader is listening. This should be a comic that isn’t possible in real life but I am willing to believe it’s happened.
Fridays Comic Today
I had originally forgot to post a comic for Friday. This one was in the queue for mid march but the timing works out. I think of these guys as Finger and Thumb. You will likely see them again. They are easy for me to draw when I just need to get an idea onto paper so I can move on.
Thank You for reading this far
This is a preview of a comics I am working on as part of a submission. I’ll let you know if it get’s picked up.
What's Next:
I’m not even sure how we’re so close to march.. let me get back to you.
What I'm Reading/Doing:
I think I can finish Starter Villain. It’s such a fun little read. I recommend it.
