So here's the original early colored draft of the last panel in Puck #380. The nightie as originally designed was just ... too over the top, even for Phoebe. I tamed it for the actual comic in the following ways:
1) I colored in the center panels because having them be cut-outs was jus...

This one says part 3, again, but it's ACTUALLY part 4!
Here I put the finishing touches on the finishing touches, including a critical step in all my creations: patching things up after they don't work due to terrible planning.

More of the inside look at the process! If this whole process looks rather time-consuming, trust me: it is.

So this was my attempt at a 'how-to' feature exploring my painful creative process, which contains way more steps than anyone else's creative process, because I'm (a) a Luddite and (b) a moron.
Anyway, it's also the only time I've put up pictures of me in connection to the comic. Not that th...

I didn't expect the new character to be my favorite when the new 'Punch-out!!!' came out, but Disco Kid definitely stole the show. Especially his second form, shown here.
Though I wouldn't ever wear this outfit willingly.

This fairy design is iconic and disturbing. Any heterosexual male who's ever played one of the above-mentioned Zelda games can attest to the fact that the fairies are simultaneously sexy and terrifying.

I'm open to suggestions. Let 'em fly!

This is another outfit that looks really cute on a big-headed anime character but looks ... just a little strange on a more realistic body shape. Either that or I got it wrong. Which is possible.
Though honestly, I often see pictures of girls from conventions cosplayi...

This is one of those looks that really doesn't jive well on an actual anatomically correct humanoid. Just saying.

All of March featured guest art from various sources. This one was from my brother, whose webcomic Fat Bassist features many similar acts of crazy.

I had NOTHING to do with this, which probably explains why it's so cool.
The concept was dreamed up by my friend Shan, connected with the comic Exiern , who then commissioned the pic from Sean Harrington, creator of 2017-01-17 14:08:46 +0000 UTC View Post
February 2016 brought 'Phoebruary', which was an excuse to reuse a few of the voting incentives from previous months that featured Phoebe.
The only original pic of that month was this one, with the conveniently placed post-it note. From tease to shining tease, as it were.<...

This pic actually didn't start as a 'Rosie the Riveter' parody, actually, but it became one. And I went with it.

Okay, LAST Doggie Dan pic. I promise. After this, we're back to the good stuff. This was the last page of the magnificent Doggie Dan comic, featuring the character of Diggy Dan (my daughter's idea), who appears as a slightly thicker version of Doggie Dan with a backwards baseball c...

Not sure what happened to the pancakes between panel two and panel three. Also not sure what's wrong with that pot of whatsit in the final image, but it looks ... less than appetizing.

Nothing beats racing. As it was, I had a few extra Doggie Dan pages that never made their way onto TWC as voting incentives. This was one of the extras.

I like the colors on this one, including the use of fingerprints to create a spacey feel. We're breaking art barriers here!

An unreleased page from Doggie Dan. It looks like he's using Wonder Woman's golden lasso, according to my daughter's coloring job.

You're looking at a rare, seldom seen pic from the archives of Puck. This pic represents the sole Puck-related output created between the years 2001 and 2011. I took a ten year break, but during that time, the old Puck strips became a bit popular on DeviantArt, and I wanted to give new f...

Doggie Dan don't discriminate against cats.
Something funny is going on with that building. The bottom ten stories don't have windows.

In case you're wondering, most of the concepts and writing in this story were sort of vaguely directed by my daughter, then refined by me.
Maybe they needed more refining.
You will note that my daughter seems to share my same penchant for colored word bubbles.

After being sort of worn out from all those Lego shoots, for November I just decided to put up a comic that I had been making as a joint project with my daughter. Doggie Dan was co-written by her, and she did the lovely watercolor job, which I honestly like the look of. The pics are mine...

Here we have Puck in front of a creepy haunted mansion with some Ghostbusters. This predated the new movie, so we lived in an innocent world where the Ghostbusters hadn't exploded yet into a fiery ball of internet rage.
