Well, she did ask. There's only one way to prove dick size.

Everything's a day behind, but hey, that's doing pretty good, considering.

   My good ol' dog, Katie, died last night. Some of you may remember her from when the 'zine I made about her was used as a Patreon Perk. I might do that again for January, just because I can. I miss my cheerful little knucklehead.

Meat on her Bones, page 50.

Seems our heroes have survived the gauntlet of goons - so now comes the clean-up.

All the Little Witches, part 63.

Plasma  blasters suck a shitload of power, and Dave was panicked.

    And even in a wizard's battle, defeating your adversary does not make all the damage he did magically go away. Who was it said "The evil men do lives after them, while the good is oft interred with their bones"?

All the Little Witches, part 62.

I should'a cut things off at panel 4 to make a cliffhanger, but who has the time and patience for such anymore?

    Seems the spells the ancient magicians created to divert slings and arrows don't do shit against plasma blasters.

The FAN, page 3.

Page three of the collaboration between 1991 me and 2022 me. We're different people, and communication across the gulf of 31 years is difficult. But it helps we have similar tastes.

BIGGER, page 20.

Yep, here's the Sunday Pron that should've been posted a couple days back. Hopefully, things will cool down enough for me to get back on my regular schedule. Heh. It's a sign of something when you find yourself wishing for boring predictability.

All the Little Witches, part 61.

The magicians meet, and Barracki seems to have the advantage.

I been busy with many things this weekend, among them being a birthday boy. Yay, I got older! But just to avoid total radio silence, here's the pencils for the Reacher page that should have gone up yesterday.

   As usual, I'll replace this peek at my 'process' with the inked and gray-shaded page, once I've got it done.

....This is a week later, and I DID get it done! Enjoy the inked & shaded page.

All the Little Witches, part 60.

On second thought, GET OVER HERE NOW!!!

All the Little Witches, part 59.

Sorry this is posted so late in the day. Ever find yourself wishing you were an alcoholic, or had some really visible problem like that? Then you could explain your absences and failures with an understandable reason. All I can say is "it's been a hard day".

All the little Witches, part 58.

Hiding her light under a bushel, so to speak.

The FAN, page 2.

Again we have Kitten Kelly for dessert, courtesy of a collaboration between 1991 me and 2022 me.

BIGGER, page 19.

Found out that the brain fog I'm suffering from might be due to sleep deprivation. I'm gonna try to hit the sack a little earlier the next few days, see if that helps.

   Been a bit of a day, today. But I'm back home, I'm alive and fuzzy, and here's a new page of BIGGER at last.

Meat on her Bones, page 48.

When Eagle-Eye says "never again" he really means it.

All the Little Witches, part 57.

Give yourself a break, padre. Very few straight guys would be able to ignore the Mink's magnificent bosom stuffed into a slightly-too-small shirt.

All the Little Witches, part 56.

Mink rallies her troops. She may not have the numbers Barracki does, but her boys are super-tough.

All the Little Witches, part 55.

Give an obscure engineer's number to the God of High-tech? Gee, yeah, that might be okay.

   In other news, I'm sorry I couldn't post the usual Sunday pron. There was a lot going on, this weekend. In fact, I've missed so many postings this December, my take was only 2/3rds of it's usual amount. That's what I get for having a life, I guess. Totally worth it, though - the Iceland trip was wonderful. And I should have tomorrow for getting some drawing done, Murphy willing. 2022-01-03 16:06:51 +0000 UTC View Post

Meat on her Bones, page 47.

Yes, Reacher's shotgun pistol is a semi-auto. And since even severe gunshot wounds rarely kill you immediately (giving the thug trio a chance to shoot at their backs), Lester sweeps up with his trench-broom.

All the Little Witches, part 54.

It seems the priest does not put all his faith in the power of prayer. And it seems getting shot has clarified things a bit for Mink.

All the Little Witches, part 53.

This fella became a priest because it seemed the easiest way to do good for the community in that day's Romania. And it seems the hero impulse has still not faded, even after these many years.

Marked "Patrons Only" because of imaginary Berecki whang.

All the little Witches, part 52.

Mink finally discovers who she's fighting.

Kitten Kelly's Fan, page 1.

So one of the things I got for Yule was a bunch of my 'zines and such from an old friend who's .....decluttering. One of the "such" was the original art of a Kitten Kelly story I'd drawn in 1991, before I got a computer.

    So I've decided to run this story as a collaboration between mid-20's Karno and mid-50's Karno. Keep the Kitten Kelly for Sunday dessert streak going, so to speak. Enjoy, my faithful!

BIGGER, page 18.

If at first you don't shrink, come, come again.

Meat on her Bones, page 46.

A good liar needs a good memory, so they can remember which lie they told to which person about which thing. Seems Mr. Finch slipped a bit in his excitement.

Merry and Happy to all my readers!

Is it seriously Christmas Eve tonight?! Sheesh, Father Time's gonna lose his license with all this speeding!

   Anyway, I just wanted to wish Happy Holidays upon all my readers I haven't already caught up with via the Perks. Eat, drink and be Merry! Who knows, maybe things will get worse slower in 2022.

All the Little Witches, part 51.

A deadly game of cat and mouse begins. Not that Barracki's a mouse. Huh, what IS his exact species, anyway?

All the Little Witches, part 50.

I'm back, baybee! I was thrilled to be able to visit Iceland, see my family in the flesh for the first time in over two years. Great trip, except for American Airlines' shitfuckery. And then I was delighted to get back home and hug my wife. Nice both ways!

   And the Mink's not leaving a tip either, because letting your guests be machine-gunned counts as bad service.

The Kitten came Back, page 14.

I would have liked to continue the Future Kitten stories. So many ideas, so little time available for the work of putting them on paper.

   But this page wraps up the story. More Farm fables, next time?

BIGGER, page 17.

Against expectations, I got this page inked. But as I'm getting on a plane in a couple of hours, TSA willing, there was no time to apply gray-tones. I'll replace this with the completed page, once I'm back, if I remember to.

   I might be able to post some Mink, if Jean (my publisher in Iceland) can provide me with some scanner time and a Net connection. We'll see. Part of the idea of this trip is to relax and recharge, not make my stress symptoms worse. We'll see how it ...

Meat on her Bones, page 45.

One of the prerequisites of travel these days is a recent Covid test. Spent this morning on that. Hope to get the results back before I fly!

   Nevertheless, I managed to churn out a Reacher page. Dunno if I'll have scanner access (or much time to draw) this upcoming week. Watch this space?
