I'm still looking it over to see if there's any little mistakes or unfinished corrections in the details. But otherwise, I'm calling this way overdue commission done. Whew.

For those who don't know (or don't care, bless you), Earth Prime is the "real world" in the DC Comics Universe. it's "us". It's where DC Comics are producded and the heroes and villains are all fictional. It's this hellhole right here, and the basic joke was that it freaked out Bat-Mite and Mr. M...

Regarding panel 4: Paying a sensitivity reader or an expert on a subject to go over your work is not something the average cartoonist can do -- but if you happen to be working on a project that weighs heavily on stuff you're not personally involved with/knowledgeable about, well, there's a reason...

Whenever people ask that old question of "what comic would you recommend for someone that doesn't read comics", the usual suspects are trotted out, by the usual people, pushing their usual favorites. A lot of Big 2 stuff they adore, with a lot of superhero and Vertigo heavy-hitters (Watchmen, San...

Stumbled upon this while moving some comp comics and zines around. This was a pretty ubiquitous item back in the pre-digital day, dating back to 1987 (the same year Pirate Corp$1 was published). Most of us bumming around in the industry had never worked for Comico, but it seemed like everyone you...

Oh, hey, and we're back with another installment in the World's Funnest retrospective.
