Full-color funnies, working on my retro/dime store comic style project

For the past few months, I've been working on creating a comic book series for Amazon. It is a huge departure from my usual webcomic diary. This comic is in color and is totally fictional.

The book I'm putting together is called "Bobert and the Monster" and it is a throwback to those retro "funny books" they used to sell next to the counter at drug stores in the 60s through the 80s.

The comic is going to consist of short goofy stories that involve a cast of characters just like those old four-color comics.

The main characters are of course Bobert and the Monster. Bobert, a regular human, loves to pester his monstrous neighbor (who, by the way, thinks "Monster" is just a normal name).

So I've been working on drawing the comic and getting it ready as a bi-monthly series for Amazon comics.

I'm feeling much better about this show today. Now that I say that I hope I didn't jinx it.

Baby jacket.

I couldn't get the jacket to fit in case you were wondering.

She actually did jump and whack me when she remembered this. It was like Elaine from Seinfeld.

Road rage

Seriously, I saw no change in how she acts driving.
