COMIC KILLED!

Yes, it's true my friends. This comic strip was supposed to run in The Kalamazoo Weekly News (it's usual weekly venue) on Thursday April 24th. The Managing Editor of the paper shot down this strip, which forced my contact at the paper to rerun an old strip. While preventing this strip from appearing, he proceeded to ask (through my contact) for either some funny material about local events and issues, or perhaps the upcoming election. Maybe something more like "Far Side or The Lighter Side."

Yeah, he's asking for a comic strip completely different than the strip he has been running for the past six months. Below, you will find the strip that was denied. Please, let me hear your thoughts.

Excuse me...uuhhh....the Earth is on fire.

Yup, that's entire planet, all burnin and stuff. That probably sucks for people who like cold weather.

Othello, Final Cut

Here is the final revision of the Shakespeare poster.

Titus Andronicus is still my favorite Shakespeare play.

I kissed thee ere I killed thee, no way but this

A poster for Shakespeare's "Othello." The ominous, haunted tone of this piece to meant to convey the darkness of the themes on which the plot is built; jealousy, betrayal, lust, and murder. Interesting factoid: The antagonist of this play, Iago, has the most dialog of any other character in Shakespeare's entire body of work. That has nothing to do with this assignment.

Not much different, but here it is

Ok, so I did another Moji.

Seriously, if you were a criminal, and saw THIS guy comin at ya, you'd give up crime.

Oh Gee-Whiz!!! A Moji, it is!

Since I anticipate it will be an assignment after spring break, I went ahead and designed a Moji, which I posted to the Mojizu site for display. His name is Sawbones, and I think he's freakin adorable.

Even if you don't.
