The Shallow Shark Might Make A Mark

This may be an artistic travesty but I think it's an important piece. It is my personal opinion that not enough people read classic literature. It's also my opinion that when they do far too many feel obligated to think it's good. We don't want to admit we hated something that wordy types have been shrieking the praises of for centuries or more. It's okay to dislike old books, it really is. Just because a piece of literature has achieved a legendary status as a social commentary or psychological masterpiece does not mean it is going to enjoyable. I want everyone to go out and read one book regarded as classic or indispensable and be totally honest about how you felt about it. Start a dialogue, even if it's about why the book sucked. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Episode 5: The Office

This comic premiered before The Office hit us here so just get any notion of plagiarism out of your horrible conniving head. The second and last comic inadvertently drawn on ruinous lined paper and the first to feature a different cover page this was a somewhat lengthy and dense volume. It had a (poorly) hidden message announcing a second issue of another comic of mine. This message can and should be ignored. I'm also just posting links because I still can't format the son-of-a-bitchin' things right.

Episode 4: Attacked By Ninjas

Here's the forth episode of Halibert. I had started drawing Halibert on the go at this point and was using a college ruled notebook. This was a huge mistake for a few reasons. The most obvious reason was the black lines across the pages when xeroxed. The second problem was holes at the side of the notebook which I managed to cover up completely with masking tape. In a color scan, however, the tape is hilariously obvious. So please, forgive the episode its flaws and accept it like the bastard child it really is.

If anyone can tell me how to put these pictures on here the way I have been but sized to fit the post width I would be eternally grateful to them, and probably perform sexual favors for them. Just saying.

Episode 3: Sandwhich Of Fate Conclusion

Through a strange anomaly of google reader one may view a post which I authored and then deleted. It is not present on this blog but is present in the google reader feed for this blog. That post was Halibert: Stick Figure Of The Thinking Man Episode 2. If you haven't seen it:

Charlie And The Chocolate Factory

I decided I needed to summarize my feelings for the new (okay, not that new) Tim Burton remake. I really can't draw however, so my comics are pretty bare bones. I hope it gets the point across.

An act of Comiczdry! That's a portmaneau of comic and wizardry.

Halibert: Stick Figure Of The Thinking Man

I want to relate a brief story, it's going to begin with the words "in high school" and I'm begging you not to hate me for it.

In high school I drank coffee and ate microwave burritos for lunch every day. I made the money to do so not by getting a job, that's not my shtick. I wrote and sold comics. I had a series called Halibert: Stick Figure Of The Thinking Man. It opened to mixed reviews. It payed the bills though, so I kept making them. It's not really all that good, the humor is mainly visual and even then it's only really funny if you dig stick figures. I sort of employ every cliche I can because I find it amusing. You're free to interpret it however you want.

I realized that I still wanted to write the comics and the old ones were just sitting around gathering dust. Well, here they are in all their shitty, poorly planned out, coffee stained glory! This is the inauspicious first episode. I'll post the rest forthwith.

I'm trying to finish a "digitally remastered" first episode. You'll see it soon.

The Time Of Your Wife

I've decided to update on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, plus whenever I feel like it. I'm not sure why or whether I'm going to stick with but I'm announcing it nonetheless. I'll write something on the morrow, it being Friday. Until then, why not take a look at this.

For Whom The Turnpike Tolls

In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless wasteland, and darkness covered the abyss, while a mighty wind swept over the waters.
Then God said,"Let there be this comic", and there was this comic. God saw how good this comic was.

My Latest Creation


Please witness this new feat in comic creation!*







*Severely dead pan humor. I think this kind of thing is funny. Maybe you're not a big fan of the anti-joke. Oh well.
