Hey folks. Sorry about my absence of late. Hit a rough patch and had to do some recovery time. Life has been getting in my way and I've let a few things slide as long as I could. I will be returning to the comic as soon as I can.

Doh!Figures. Last post I said something about not missing deadlines, ever, and now I'm about to miss a deadline. Swell.Well, priorities have to be set and sanity must be maintained...  or something like that.Anyway, I'm going to have to take a break from the comic for a week or two to finish up some of the product I'm going to try and peddle at the CONduit sci-fi convention in Salt Lake later

In the many years I've worked as an artist/animator/creative geek, I've prided myself on never missing deadlines. Ever. I used deadlines to keep me moving, keep me from getting stuck on some bit of minutia that nobody else would likely notice or care about. I figure that I could never be a 'fine' artist simply because if I didn't have deadlines, I would never finish anything. I would just

Well, the first of the cameo pages went up Monday. I sincerely thank all who participated in this weird little experiment of mine and sent me photos. I had a lot of fun doing this and will probably do it again. One of the great things I got out of this is becoming acquainted with some cool people and their web-ventures, like Sean Kleefeld and his fine blog Kleefeld on Comics, and Garrett Williams

Yikes! It looks like I need to learn PHP and get up to speed with the whole interweb thingamawhosit. I decided I want to do more with the comics than I can without some more extensive (beyond pretty, but static) web building chops. Oy-vey. Not that I would mind learning this stuff, just where I'm going to find the time. I need minions...'The Sergeant and Professor Skeary Winslow' has been invited

My computers are all back in action again! Hooray! What kind of Hell would be most appropriate for the sociopaths who would create and release malware? Such behavior seems akin to random violence of a sort. Maybe if they could spend thier afterlife feeling little spiders or tiny crabs crawling about in their skulls eating bits of their brains as they go. And worms too. Whoa, back away from the

Ho-boy,  fun, fun fun.  Thursday before last, my main computer decided it would just restart whenever it felt like it. Soon it just kept restarting in a continuous loop. So I spent the rest of the day and a good portion of the weekend fighting this and trying to determine the cause of this sudden attitude change in my dear workmate. Turns out I was hit by some nasty trojan and virus combo. sweet.

I'm laying out the next 36 pages of The Sergeant and Professor Skeary Winslow over the next few weeks and thought it might be fun to invite readers to appear as 'extras' in some of the upcoming crowd scenes. I will be adding some alien features, as the Sgt. and Prof. are the only humans in this story. Head plumage, oddly shaped ears, or something like that.If this sounds like something you might

O.K. so this has nothing to do with Comics. But I feel this is important.Watching as Barack Obama officially becomes the President of the United States of America, I am profoundly moved. I look forward and with hope to a world where we respect each other, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or faith. We are all citizens of Planet Earth. We are all members of the same race: Human.Certainly we

Hi everyone! The first of the five 'books' in this story will be up on Monday the 26th of January. I will begin posting the second chapter in a week or three, but in the meantime I would like to keep posting something on WebComicsNation. So I would like to ask you fine people for some suggestions: what would you like to see? some of the conceptual sketches? early pencils? teaser sketches of

Sorry, folks.Juggling more plates than I could handle, I was compelled to devote some time trying to minimize the damage when a couple of them started to fall. That, and a family crisis have taken priority for the last while. Most items have been dealt with now and I am returning my attention to the Sgt. and Prof. with a much more manageable load.The first (in two parts on WebcomicsNation.com)

One of the things that has distracted me from working on new pages recently was the announcement at the San Diego Comic Con by TriggerStreet and Devil's Due of a new comics section and contest on the TriggerStreet.com website.TriggerStreet.com is a site for aspiring writers to get feedback and exposure in the Hollywood entertainment community. Well, there's a lot more to it than that, but you can

Alright, so I'm really, really bad about keeping this baby updated. I'm sorry to say that problem probably won't be remedied anytime soon. I seem to have overextended myself with obligations and projects.Regrettably, I may have to take a break from the comics for a week or so. I am scrambling to avoid this, but my schedule is very tight at the moment and I really need to attend to my other lives

Well, todays comic was late, but its not my fault!Damn crappy ISP drops my connection often and in this last case, for two days straight! I had to wait until they opened for business Monday to get some support to get my connection back. Then I find that WebcomicsNation has been down repeatedly over the weekend. Ah, well.We've got an install kit coming for another ISP that should be much more

One of the nice people to take the time to give 'The Sergeant and Professor Skeary Winslow' a little thumbs up is Azzerac who is the author of "Steal This Book of Shadows", my current favorite text on occult practice by far. Azzerac does a fine job stripping out what I feel is needless crap and armwaving and just gets down to it. He also gets that there are multiple ways of comprehending and

I apologize profusely to those of you who went looking for a new page of the comic on Monday the 21st. Here is what happened:1. I decided a series of four pages would be much improved if completely reworked into three and found myself starting over on these pages. Sure enough, they are far better, if somewhat rushed.2. Living very near nowhere, (Skull Valley is just over the mountain from me,

OK. I have been absent for way to long. But a lot has been happening. A little while back, I was invited to post some samples from the comic on a new webcomic social site based in Milan called Oltrecomics. I was even more flattered when I saw the quality of the other stuff there! WOW. A large percentage of the work there so far (it is still relatively new) is definitely pro caliber.

Well, it is a little weird for me to reflect that the Sgt. and Prof. have only been online for almost three months. Not that it seems longer in a bad way. My sense of time is highly subjective and I've pretty much been living the Sgt. and Prof. since the semester ended. For my mid-life crisis I decided a degree in a subject I am unlikely to make a living using (biology) was a better idea that a

Whew! Well, it has been a month since the Imagikraft Diversified Extra-dimensional Amusements site went up featuring The Sergeant and Professor Skeary Winslow. Seven pages are available now and it is pretty much all action. I'm quite pleased with the overwhelmingly positive reactions it has received so far, and am looking to post another eight pages in May and each month hereafter for the

I received some very nice words from Waru over at COMIXtalk:"Wow. The Sergeant and Professor looks awesome. Looks like a cool world with original, neat creatures and characters. I wanna read more, but why aren't there more pages of it!? Please continue. Kinda confused as to why the sergeant is in the professor's plane. Wanna learn more. And who's the sweet blue dude? Nice artwork, too. Nice job."
