What the is this?
Comic books, rock 'n' roll and movies. I like to think that I've matured past 14-years-old but I suppose you will have to be the judge of that.

My scandolous past

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I found a comic, actually just one page, which I did when I was 10 or 11-years-old. If the above image makes you hungry for more (how could it not?) then check out the whole thing here. The glare in the scan obscured it a little bit, including obscuring some dialogue, but looking over the thing I'm almost glad that is the case. It's a trifle embarrassing (more embarrassing is that I haven't really evolved as an artist) but I figured why not share a bit of my own creativity with you all. Thanks to Mike for scanning the damn thing and even trying to change the tint. If any of you can figure out a way that we can modify the scan so it will read better please don't be afraid to e-mail me.

As for the missing dialogue, I'll fill in the blanks for you. In the middle panel of the second row we have "Guess you're down 20 smackers!" After that it's "Hey, that's my snappy banter!" This concludes with the next panel where the nameless main character declares "Get your own next time!" As hard as it is to believe I did not have any help with scripting this book, this is pure pre-pubescent Brill firing on all cylinders.

I will now tell you that Brill Building will take a bit of a break as your ever humble host takes a trip to Arizona. Things will back in full swing sometime near the end of next week. Stay safe out there, kids.
