Of market shares and time shares

More fund-raising foibles

I've not been in a timeshare presentation, but I heard that a friend of the family's honeymoon was interrupted by quite a long one, which sounds like it was horrific.

There is NO such thing as a free lunch. That's not just an expression, it's an adage to help you navigate around timeshare presentations in disguise.

Boardroom table | Fundraising Faux Pas!

I was at the casino in Windsor over the past weekend, though this was written over a year ago and drawn before I left for Windsor last Friday. I watched some folks play Craps - and I still don't have any idea how that game works.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

New scene for Tomb of the Undead

The second half of Act II continues with Why'd You Do It?

Struggling with jet lag and his professional relationship with Howard, Casey looks to make necessary changes in Why'd you do it?

I smashed through like four pages in almost a week - so after almost a month without an update, I managed to get a bunch up quickly. I hope you like it.

King St. Capers - ep. 7

I appreciate my weather updates in the morning - always count on the immediate forecast of what it's like at the exact moment when I walk by...

King St. Capers - ep. 6

I had this idea to commemorate my anniversary of working on King St. (on November 17)

Tomb of the Undead update

This is really exciting because it's the beginning of the second half of Act ii, which is a bit of a milestone. It took a long time to get here, about a year to get to the halfway mark - perhaps by next year, this story will be told. Let's hope so.

There is some seriously awesome stuff coming up - I would imagine it's entirely unexpected, especially if you're having difficulty reading the pages or haven't read it yet.

PLUS - check out my Jesus. He's a handsome devil


Here's a link to the latest scene for Tomb of the Undead, called Lazarus is Charged:

The mythology of this story is revealed a little more as Jesus visits Bethany days before he is betrayed by Judas in Lazarus is Charged.

King St. Capers - ep. 5

This really isn't an "episode." It's more of a motivational poster for teenagers to slap up on their bedroom walls - 'cause Mr. Minestrone has some serious angst and attitude that you can only hope to emulate.

King St. Capers - ep. 4

King St. Capers - ep. 3

Here's the next one ...

ugh, LOL

I don't know why it took me so long- but I've definitely got some new characters to add to this. I can't imagine whey I didn't think of this before! Not sure if there deserves to be an infusion of "Parkhill Parables" to the King St. Capers, though. Maybe a spin-off in the works ;)

King St. Capers - ep. 2

by popular demand - King St. Capers Ep. 2


... jeez these things are terrible, LOL

New Tomb of the Undead Post

Here's an update for the latest scene of Tomb of the Undead, Call the Office (an homage to an old club in London, Ont. I think. Not sure if it's provincially renowned or not, but I like the name of it).

Dr. Miller, Dr. Bolam and Evelyn return to Escutcheon's office in search of a new direction in Call the office.

Hope you like it. I'm part-way through the next page, just some inking and shading to wrap up, but it's ultimately drafted up. Then on to the second half of the second act, where things ramp up once again. I read over some of the upcoming scenes, and the pace picks up and the story really mythology / story really picks up.

You can look forward to that.

King St. Capers

King St. Capers | Episode 1

This is where I work. Mr. Minestrone is a barber there.

Tomb of the Undead

I've got two new scenes to link to that I posted up this month - and they'll be the final pages I'll be able to post before October.

I hope you like them.

First is You Son of a Bitch, Bolam, which you can find at that link.


The next is Damnit Mugabe!

new Tomb of the Undead update

The latest update for Tomb of the Undead, called Why, What Happened in There, is now posted for you to look at any time you'd like. Link here.


Hope you like it.

New Tomb of the Undead update: Stretch my legs

I wrapped up the latest scene and posted the final page on the weekend. You can find the link here. When I talked earlier about it getting ready to pick up and really get going, this was the scene I had in mind. I've sketched out a few pages of the next scene to figure out what I'm going to do there - but nothing's finalized yet.

Dr. Casey Miller and Evelyn rent a car and head out to intercept Dr. Howard Bolam from meeting with the mysterious archaeologist Ian Escutcheon who sent them the relic of Lazarus in Stretch my legs.

Here are some production updates from earlier you could check out, too:

more coming

Just a little escape

I've finally finished the latest scene for Tomb of the Undead

Check it out - there's a new scene for the Tomb of the Undead, Just a little escape, for you to check out. Six pages long, which was partly why it took so long to complete - but admittedly, I haven't been spending as much time on it lately.

Evelyn and Dr. Miller disembark their flight to face whatever consequences Dr. Starkwood has put in place for them in Just a little escape. Other posts you might be interested in about graphic novels:

New Tomb of the Undead update

There are no snakes on this plane. Enjoy the ride.

It's been almost two weeks, but I've finally finished another scene to the book, which you can go and check out now.

For the record, drawing a plane is hard. Was a little surprised how oddly they are shaped.

On bookstands now

You can go to Chapters, or anywhere magazines are sold, and find the former "The Beaver" and look up Canada' History magazine.

You'll know the one when you see a "God's Warriors" on the cover, and on the top left hand corner, a sidebar that reads: Canada's First Car.

This is an indication that the article I wrote for them in 2008 is finally published!

Check it out! And then contact the editor and tell them how much you loved it.

Tomb of the Undead update

I know it's been ages since I've updated the Tomb of the Undead - but I've got another page ready to post up - a second almost done, and a third begun. So there should be some updates shortly, if you even remember that thing anymore.

Let me know if you want regular updates to the project, I can add you to the Facebook group where you can ask to be made aware of updates.

Good Leafs game last night - exciting and fun. If you're a Bell subscriber, be sure to check and see if you have TSN 2 on trial subscription on ch. 401 till the end of February, too - that's where I caught That's Hockey 2 Night with Steve Kouleas.

Nice - TMNT throwback

I found this last night digging through old Ninja Turtle badguys - this artwork is pretty solid, even if the characters were predictable losers.
