...And there we have it. There are still a bunch of stories untold from Herman Orca's world. Rats in the Hold. Fallout (about the aftermath of the nuclear explosion that killed President Kinney, both physical and diplomatic). Funny Farm (Herman and Anna trying to run a ranch while being researchers and parents - kind of like a gag-a-day strip collection). Rats in Space (when they finally DO send a rocket out of the atmosphere, they "man" it with the species viewed as disposable). And so on an...

Greedy Little Men, part 39.

And here we come to the 'why" of Happy Jack's existence. 

Greedy Little Men, part 38.

There's something darkly satisfying about stealing from bad guys.

Greedy Little Men, part 37.

See, Savage Squirrel was inspired to become a superhero by reading his dad's stash of old comic books. And in those comics, it was common for fictional superheroes to have annoying kid sidekicks.

Doing Good, page 10.

Yeah, I was mildly obsessed with sex when these pages were drawn. Show me a young man in the full flower of his glands who isn't!

Hard Lessons, page 7.

Drew this page from scratch this morning. I'm not as slow as I feared?

Love in the Arena, page 79 (pencils)

Today was my birthday, so my good wife gave me a five-mile hike for a present. So art time has been a little limited. So Saturday's Herman page is just the pencils. But fear not, the inked version will be on here eventually.

Greedy Little Men, part 36.

Super-strength is a good power to have, but having the patience to do the paperwork can also be a surprisingly effective "super-power".

Greedy Little Men, part 35.

The suit's life DOES depend on it.

Greedy Little Men, part 34.

That was fast...and LOUD!

Doing Good, page 9.

You see, I'm pumping your pussy with a horse-dick until I blow a load like a biblical flood as a special favor to you!

Hard Lessons, page 6.

Sheesh. Greg really isn't too bright, is he? But that's how it has to go in these type of stories.

Love in the Arena, page 78.

I was going to do "Rats in the Hold" as a short-story after "Viva La Resistance", but impatience got the better of me again and I jumped straight to "Jungle Surprises".

Greedy Little Men, part 33.

If you're gonna be a hero, having lots of muscle is good. But even better is a keen eye, so you can see exactly where that muscle is best applied.

Greedy Little Men, part 32.

Ask politely, first. It may same you some trouble. And if it doesn't, hey, you TRIED to be nice!

Greedy Little Men, part 31.

In case you're wondering about that "He's not dead?" crack, this story happens shortly after the events depicted in "Busted". Did I ever run that story here? It's pretty good, even if I do say so myself.

Doing Good, page 8.

SPOOM!

Hard Lessons, page 5.

Huh. My dick's never had it's own parade. But who would you call to organize such a thing in the real world?

Love in the Arena, page 77.

After a lifetime of fighting, it seems my old rat is finally gonna get a break.

Greedy Little Men, part 30.

A fateful meeting seems imminent.

   So this is 2021, huh? So far I'm not impressed, but let's give it a chance.

Greedy Little Men, part 29.

Yeah, autogyro mode gulps fuel, makes you really visible, and might get you in trouble with the FAA - but what's the point of being a superhero if you don't dare to FLY every now and then?

   Huh, this is the last post of the year. Goodbye, 2020 - and here's a hearty kick to speed you on your way! THWUNK!!

Greedy Little Men, part 28.

But you gotta be the first!

Doing Good, page 7.

Spread your legs, we're going in!

Hard Lessons, page 4.

Yeah...the combo of kinks and actual magic would make for some very strange scenes.

Love in the Arena, page 76.

Yeah, this is posted late in the day. I spent most of today helping haul stuff between houses for a friend. Good exercise, and helps build solidarity. There's worse uses for a day, especially as I DID manage to draw and post this page before midnight.

Greedy Little Men, part 27.

Now we skip ahead to where Happy Jack has been twisting a slaver's arm to get information. Literally.

   I realize that the old guard of my supporters has seen this page before. But it's a necessary part of the story, so I beg your indulgence while I spool through Jan's half of "PeRkS" as quick as I can. New pages will be coming with the new year.

   Speaking of which, my Perk enjoyers have already gotten their copy of my Yule card. But since pixlels ...

Greedy Little Men, part 26.

Jan did not become a superhero to get revenge: She was just raised right.

Greedy Little Men, part 25.

Bah. This was supposed to be a quick little fill-in, while I got "All the little Witches" up and running - but the ideas crowded in, and now it's set to become a sprawling saga of it's own. My Muse doesn't seem to realize that I have more things to do than just make stories.

Doing Good, page 6.

You can get used to anything, if you do it long enough?

Hard Lessons, page 3.

Shrinking folks isn't really my fetish, but ole Corman is a friend from way back. I enjoy illustrating his stories. And with the train of thousand-dollar dentist bills coming up, I really need the "extra" money that commissions add to my budget.

   I suppose there are artists out there who manage to be the decadent layabouts popular culture caricatures us as. But I suspect those lucky buggers of being trust-fund babies...
