"One of the Good Ones"

It's nice to do something different every once in a while, and I found that in lettering the above as part of a story submission, titled "One of the Good Ones".  I met writer Sean Fahey on the Digital Webbing message boards and have been lettering his nine-page story for the past few days.  I tend to letter a bit slowly, but I suppose that's the story of my life.  I think it's turning out well, in any case.

The story, written by Fahey, has art by Ben Passmore.  I'm not sure when we'll hear back about this anthology submission, but I will put an update on here if it does get accepted.  Fingers crossed!  Either way, it's nice to have a change of pace and it's even nicer to meet some new creators.  Best of luck to Sean and Ben with this story!

Pretend it's Friday, then go here.

Brian Michael Bendis, along with being a prolific and popular comic book writer, has also developed a pretty strong Internet following on his website, www.jinxworld.com.  From this site you can go over to his message board, which is teeming with the usual message board stuff - good and bad.  I can't say that I've been an active member of any message board community for years now (I guess they just lost their appeal after a while), but I still manage to head over there once a week for a posting titled "Weird images I found while surfing this week".

I don't know the person who tirelessly scours the Internet(s) every week for the dozens of strange and funny pictures found within this posting, but I want to shake his hand.  He's continued to bring me something to look forward to, week after week, for years now.

There's a lot of comic book related jokes, but there's plenty of stuff there even if you've never read a comic in your life.  Not all of the pictures are as PG-rated as the examples I'm posting here (uploaded of my own right, not hotlinked...which would be a jerk thing to do), so please don't go there with the wrong impression - some of the pictures aren't for everyone (it's mostly language that some might find offensive).  But if you need a laugh every Friday, hop over to that site, click on the "search" function, and type in the aforementioned "Weird images I found while surfing this week".

If your sense of humor is anywhere close to mine, you'll be glad you did.
