Get ’em while they’re hot!
(The free comic pages, I mean. That would be… and hot from your own printer if you decide you want hard copy. Unless maybe you have some sort of steampunk-esque tube-driven computer monitor that gets pretty warm. So the onscreen pdf pages would be noticeably hot, as in hot off the press. Even though there’s no press. But we covered that already in this no somewhat unwieldy parenthetical aside. right?)
Have you read the newest Skateboard Heroes pages? You had better hurry up because even more new pages will be posted in the next couple days. In the post-Sandy northeast, what’s better than free comics, right?
And who knows what Dr. Inferno will be toting in these upcoming pages. We’ve already seen a crossbox. What could be next? Flamethrower? Machine gun? Feather razors? Butterfly knives? Pizza cutter? You never really know. Dr. Inferno is a total maniac after all.
Can you dig it?
Want a glimpse into contemporary American cultural viability? I invite you to visit any lyrics website on the Web that allows for comments. Search on something juicy like “meaningful Beyonce lyrics.” Now, stop chuckling. Of COURSE Beyonce’s lyrics are meanignful. Deeply spiritual and meaningful. Life changing in fact.
Hah! Didn’t think I could write that with a straight face, did you?
Sure, any semi-intelligent, upright-walking mammal SHOULD be able to sniff out the general thematic leanings of Beyonce’s art. And if you like it you can put scott kay bands all over it. For reals.
If you are attractive and wealthy and willing to expose your lust/affection/erectile dysfunction/Daddy-Daughter issues to me by disposing of a significant portion of your wealth in the service/adoration of me, I will sleep with you as part of a good Christian girl’s courting ritual.
How you know she’s a hypocrite? Look who she married. He may be absurdly wealthy (and who knows about the dysfunction thing – but there are pills for that) but attractive?

It’s New York Comic Con 2012. Going on right now through Sunday at Javits. Ohhhhhhhhh yeah!
Some people spend their time on the Interwebs searching for nutritional information or dirty pictures. Me, I spend my time looking up the bibliographies of Comic creators. Can you guess why? Mostly because I want to find out if I have adequate goodies for signing by those very same creators when we meet up in the real world. So your query might be “panty mice” or “low carb tuna casserole” or “accountant raleigh,” but mine is “Howard Chaykin Black Kiss” or “Klaus Janson Inks.”
Excelsior!
I find cosplay particularly interesting. If you don’t know what that is, I forgive you. While not a new concept in and of itself, the term has really only flowered in the last few years. It’s a sort of butchered compound word – Costume Play. Something like that. And while it may sound a little kinky, that’s not it. At least, kinky is only an aspect. Cosplay is what you call it (nowadays) when people dress up as characters from movies or comics or video games or young adult novels and go to public events like, oh I don’t know… NYCC12. So slap on the ol’ raypak and wig, we got some superhero/Hunger Games/Mario Bros./Walking Dead fun to get on with.
Look at the title of this post. Is it meaningful to you? Give it a moment. It may not just spring to mind… and that’s okay. But really, it shouldn’t take too long. It’s something I’m ridiculously excited about. It’s happening now and through the weekend. Got it yet?
Yes, friends, we got a little side tracked by Mad Science The Card Game, but we wanted to let you know that Skateboard Heroes is back on track. Art is more or less complete on the remainder of the first issue in the new story arc. Layouts are about halfway there and then we just have to do the lettering. There’s a big Dr. Inferno page, and his dialogue always takes a while to letter to a properly menacing degree (and in such a way that it is still legible in black and white) but we should still be ready in the next week or so.
Yeah baby!
I’ve really enjoyed all of the this Mad Science The Card Game nonsense. I still have some mixed feelings about Kickstarter, but knowing it is a business and not (as too many people believe) a charitable organization i any way, shape or form, that’s probably okay. And at some point in the future I very well may go ahead and do another project.
That said, I totally have to get back to Skateboard Heroes. I have kept the comic on the backburner for too long. So long, in fact, that the kids are growing and the photos I got of Booster battling a front loader may not work. And that would blow. Do I need to start trolling for used skid steers for sale? When you combine a world class skateboarder with a front loader operated by a claw-wielding megalomaniac… tell me that doesn’t rock you tonight?
