Karno

Here there be Dragons 3, page 62.

Uh-oh. The Curse seems to be making decisions under the influence of frustration. That seldom ends well.

How Bull O'Brannon came to the Animal Circus, page 9.

Finally stole some time to draw & color pages. Have I ever mentioned I might need to get a tad better organized?

Karno's first comic, page 1.

Just because I want to, I scanned in and "cleaned up" a page from one of my very first comics. From six to sixty, indeed. Heh - six-year-old me apparently understood that guns worked by expelling projectiles, but had a fuzzy grasp of exactly how fast they traveled....

The To-do List, part 33.

I finally sweated out a little time to draw in. Lessee, I have my mundane life - wife, dog, friends, house, cars (the maintenance of), my art life ( Mink, the Koch book, commissions, Cartoon History of Iceland, Here there be Dragons, etc.), and my hobby life (rebuilding antiques, gun shows, etc) - and they all have to fit into the same 24 hours per day.

   Damn. Something's going to have to give, ain't it?

Here there be Dragons 3, page 61.

What should a personified curse look like? Your guess is as good as mine.

How Bull O'Brannon came to the Animal Circus, page 8.

Big folks in bouncy action. Not tired of it yet!

What is AI, page 18.

Sorry I dropped out for a weekend, there. I was at a show, and a lively one it was, too! But now I'm back home with access to computers.

    That kinda wraps up the "What is AI" saga. What should I run on Saturdays, d'you think?

The To-do List, part 32.

Don't get cocky, Mink & crew: A cornered rat will fight - and it's not like these mad scientists weren't already dangerous.

Here there be Dragons 3, page 60.

I've drawn a LOT of these pages, haven't I?

How Bull O'Brannon came to the Animal Circus, page 7.

A roll in the grass that will someday be hay!

The To-do List, part 31.

Whoops. Looks like I missed both Saturday's and Sunday's postings. I really wish I could afford a full-time assistant. I'll see what I can do tomorrow Tuesday....?

The To-do List, part 30.

OK, so I just posted the electronic Perks for my Patreon. But much as I haven't had time to post regular Perks, so I haven't had time to update my Perks list - add the folks who've subscribed recently, and deleted the ones who've dropped out. So if you've recently signed up for the full Karno Patreon experience, please let me know if you didn't get your Perks.

   Hmmmm....this sounds like a job for a loyal Minion, maybe?

The To-do List, part 29.

The whirlwind tour continues - and who's this, now?

Here there be Dragons 3, page 59.

Vast...tracts of land!

How Bull O'Brannon came to the Animal Circus, page 6.

It's been a heckuva day. But it impressed on me how hard it is to be poor, so here's a posting on Patreon. And have I thanked you at any point, loyal Patrons?

What is AI, page 17.

A lot of folks seem to think that only the technique that they themselves are good at, is "true" art.

The To-do List, part 28.

OK, you can see Leynisevich's hairy backside, and Mink's nipples. Is that reason enough to make this Adults Only? For chrissakes, who are grayscale drawings of nice, soft, pink nipples supposed to be harming?!

The To-do List, part 27.

I'd hate to be responsible for the rise of the Fourth Reich, myself. There's something about Nazis that's just inherently nasty.

....Whereas testing out a bed with a lusty partner? That can be very pleasant.

Here there be Dragons 3, page 58.

I think my minion is getting better at this coloring thing - what do YOU think?

How Bull O'Brannon came to the Animal Circus, page 5.

No quip to go with this one. I believe anyone adult enough to be seeing this can figure out what's going on.

What is AI, page 16.

Yes, tongues are a teensy bit in cheek, here.

The To-do List, part 26.

Mink has a job tailor-made for a right swine. You know whose door she'll be knocking on!

The Mink Family.

I noticed that I hadn't drawn anything purely for my own pleasure for months. Years? Not good - that way, burnout lies. So I knocked this together - a random notion, illustrated at speed. Just because I bloody well wanted to. Hope you enjoy, also!

Here there be Dragons 3, page 57.

Lotta sex going on in that there cave.

How Bull O'Brannon came to the Animal Circus, page 4.

The direct approach! Well, if you're a big, healthy girl like Tina, you can get away with it.

What is AI, page 15.

Slander, blackmail and death threats are already illegal. I dunno if AI really adds much flavor to that particular soup.

The To-do List, part 25.

"There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy."

The To-do List, part 24.

It seems that something lives in the Inbetween.

The To-do List, part 23.

The two or three among you who are paying attention (I struggle with that, myself), might be asking: "Hey, didn't we used to get monthly comix Perks from this Patreon? What happened to 'em?"

Good question. I wish I had a good answer. I'm a letterhack from way back, and I haven't written a letter since June?! Seriously, what is wrong with me? It's not depression - I've seen that up closer than I wanted. It's not burnout - I still love to sit around and draw. So what, exactly, ails me? I ...

Big loads!
