Water Everywhere

Another drowning poem-comic affair. This one was drawn in a plane rather than on a train. You’d think I’d draw one of them while on a boat, and perhaps I will, perhaps I will.

My Heart Was In My Mouth

One on the borderline of being a comic or being a poem – probably more poem that comic, I suppose, but the lines make a difference nonetheless. Drawn while on the wrong train in Italy.

It Was The Modem

With a stern yet companionable nod toward Roger McGough, one of the best poets ever. Pretty much nicked off with the start of his poem, but I’m a vegetarian computer scientist. So.

PoetrySlam #1

The inaugural poetry slam, a new idea where I hand-draw some comics based on the previous day’s poems and then post it here if it isn’t too much of a humiliation.

Fewer Opportunities

The sweet blend of writing poems and then turning them into comics continues. Some days I’m like, “Oh man, am I more awesome at the art or the words?” And then I’m like, “Oh man, neither.”

I Can See My House From Here

This one comes from a poem. Rilla found the beer line at the end particularly distasteful, but I feel that it’s what pull the whole thing together. You be the judge.

Lazy Asshole

It’s from a poem. Sometimes I wonder if what I call poetry is actually not poetry at all. Then I stop wondering about that and turn my attention toward something more interesting.

Crowd of Pigs

Another from a poem. I really don’t want to say much more than, “Boom-Shaka-Laka!” Was that from NBA Jam or something? It’s pretty great, just like collective nouns can be sometimes.

Visual Death Poetry #1

When I’m right I’m right. This one came about from my great enjoyment of the concept of a “dead table” and went from there to the great heights that you now see presented before you. This is the good stuff.

Denouement

Haven’t drawn a comic-thing from a poem-thing in a while, so this evening I drew a comic-thing from a poem-thing to even that situation out. Also, the word “denouement”, ladies and gentlemen! Let’s give it a hand.
