CLASSIC religious oddity from 1974 is this 30 page comic book tract on Creationism. From the edu-sermons of creepy-looking Dr Duane T Gish. (wikipedia)

New Comic: Radio Wire Issue #1

link to radio wire issue number 1

HELLO - Pardon the long delay in updating this front page. I've been busy on a few projects, many of which will begin appearing here over the next few months. The JOHN WILCOCK comic will continue with Chapter Five in a few weeks. And a couple new issues of COMICS WITH PROBLEMS are planned throughout the end of the year, as well as some good audio work.

All of that brings things up to RADIO WIRE. While I'm happily still involved in a number of good collaborations (most notably with Scott Marshall) it's been a long while since I completely wrote and drew a series by myself. The best examples of these are TEDDY and A DOG AND HIS ELEPHANT. For about five years I've been working on a new series, and am finally at a point to post the first issue. Here's RADIO WIRE Issue #1. This is never easy work for me, but it feels very good to return to these sorts of comics.



John Wilcock Chapter Five to post soon, as well - Thanks, Ethan

News - Props on Colbert

Stephen Colbert points to a copy of the MLK comic book, from EP.TC

ENTERTAINING TV MOMENT: If you watched Comedy Central in August, you might have noticed Comics with Problems featured on the Colbert Report for about five minutes, albeit as a prop. There's Stephen pointing to our copy and scan of the MLK comic on the Tueday August 13 episode. Full clip below:
