PLEASE NOTE:  I started my own website at http://twiststreet.com/.  If any of the images below are broken, the better place to read any of these comics is at  http://twiststreet.com/.  It still may be under construction but all of the comics I've placed online are there.  I'll update the livejournal if/when there's any new comics, but just to point to   http://twiststreet.com/.  Thanks.

Hello.  My very talented friend John co-created his own (excellent) comic convention last year during  Thanksgiving weekend in Cleveland, Ohio-- Genghis Con.  I found out about it in November and wanted to attend, so I very, very quickly put together a short comic book for the convention.  Very quickly-- this is maybe a week or two's work.  It was a tremendous time, so I'm glad I did it.  The book, though...

Honestly: me personally, I don't think it turned out too good.  There weren't enough jokes for my liking; a couple jokes felt stale; and I didn't particularly like how I closed out the first Chapter, but couldn't think of anything better there in the time I had.  So I wasn't in a hurry to post it, and for a while, thought I wouldn't; would just let it go buried... but... I got to thinking about it today, and figured, you know, I'm pretty at peace with having sucked, so what's the harm...?  Sometimes things come out okay; sometimes they don't.  Oh, well. Learning experience.

So: if you're bored, here's something... 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

And that was it.  So, if you've read this far down:  I'm sorry...?  For how your life and my life has turned out...?  

Also, Item!  The Dracula comic was featured in Man's World: India's Classiest Men's Magazine back in December.  On the same page as Kubrick, Lang, A Bout de Souffle, and the Coen Brothers (!!!) so... That happened...!? Thanks to Bibek Bhandari for putting that together.  They let me get a shout-out to Namak Halal in there, too, which was a great honor.

I finally have someone to blame for my life. Almost makes all the suffering worthwhile.

This was much better than billed, especially for how quickly you put it together. I especially like chapter 2 and 5.

correction
I actually like chapters 2 and 4 the best. anyway...thanks for posting it. At one point i linked to Left Field on a sports site i go to where the writer had asked the commenters to post their favorite sports books. I did an all comic reply, because I have just that type of niche-y douchiness, and put you up there with The Golem's Mighty Swing and Slam dunk.

so there you go. Fame.
