This swamp thing is from a jokebook I illustrated—one of a series I worked on for Books-A-Million's BAM! imprint. Many but not all of the following are from that series.
This Batman and Joker cartoon was mostly drawn with a brush pen. I'm very happy with this one just for its notebook doodle quality. It looks like I forgot myself a little and was able to just noodle around thoughtlessly—my preferred working process.
More jokes from the same series. The one on the left was provided me to illustrate, the spork/chalupa one I wrote myself. So if you ever need any spork/chalupa-based content, that's one of my fortés.
This one's obviously drawn pretty hastily. It can't have taken me more than five or ten minutes by the looks of it. But it's all in the IDEA, you see. The hilarity of a "tot" getting mixed up with a bunch of killer robots! Ha.
Actually I'm not sure the publisher used it.
When I used to get Boys' Life magazine, I was always fascinated by the issue that told how to build a robot from a trashcan. I must've read it 50 times, always forgetting anew that some key components would be much more difficult to come by than a plastic trashcan.
Man, they keep getting hastier and hastier. Is that supposed to be flames? It looks like the dinosaurs are floating around in a spiky pasture.
But the kids love angry Jeff Goldblum.
This one is actually true.
Finally, something different. The following three were drawn to illustrate strange goings-on (going-ons?) in different states, e.g. "Strange Alabama", "Strange North Carolina" etc.
I can't remember which state had shady men smoking with cats and dogs.
This is a fake old Batman panel. Among other justifiable criticisms, I always liked what Coop said when I posted it online years ago—that Robin looked like a middle-aged midget.
A more recent forgery.
This is a fake potato chip bag. Could any more explanation possibly be needed?
