Comic: Mindful Drinking

DRINKING! How awesome is drinking, you guys. But just like cats, caramel, and all the other cool stuff in life, sometimes you can have too much of a good thing.

If you’re looking to scale down the drinking a little, especially before it turns into A Problem, try mindfulness! Check out my comic "Mindful Drinking" for thoughts on being in the moment while boozing it up and autobio reflections on how habits get out of hand. Plus: THERE’S A SLOTH.

Read the whole thing for free online! Share it with pals on Tumblr! Order print copies from my comics webpage!

This weekend: 2013 Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo (MICE)!

Hometown indie comics pride!

This weekend, Sept. 28-29, my pals in Boston Comics Roundtable are hosting the fourth annual Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo in Cambridge! TWO DAYS THIS YEAR, WHAAAT

What I love the most about MICE: Free admission! Anyone can stop in and get a taste of indie comics without having to lay out a huge chunk of cash.

I’ll be there and I’ll have new comics for sale! Check my new health info minicomic Mindful Drinking, a fun little thing about drinkin’ and cutting down a little by using mindfulness. Half auto-bio, half self-help, guest-stars a sloth.

And I’ve got a 4-page story in the latest issue of the Roundtable’s indie-flavored local superhero anthology, In a Single Bound! Look for my "Nuttin’ But Trouble!" which touches on two of my favorite topics: LADIES and ALLERGIES.

Saturday 10am-6pm, Sunday 11am-4pm, all in Lesley’s University Hall at 1815 Massachusetts Avenue (Porter Square), Cambridge, MA. MICE 2013: See you there!

This weekend: Boston Comic Con!

This weekend, August 3-4, it’s Boston Comic Con time! Swing by the World Seaport Trade Center on the Boston waterfront, Saturday 10-7 and Sunday 10-6.

Come and see me at Artists Alley table AA343, right near my Boston Comics Roundtable pals. Minicomics, art, lots of chatter about comics and health care - all this can be yours! Possibly hugs as well; hug action pending on whether my gross mucus-fiesta head cold clears up.

Ultimate Powers Jam: Worrybird

I got to participate in Pal Andrew’s Ultimate Powers Jam!

Here’s how it goes: Andrew Weiss uses the character creation rules from the Marvel Super Heroes RPG’s Ultimate Powers Book to roll up a random character description. Then he hands them off to artists and writers to flesh out.

One of those handoffs was to me! Check out Ultimate Powers Jam #6, with art by me and writing by Fake AP Stylebook’s Ken Lowery. Who is … WORRYBIRD?
