I wish I'd made this guy, but credit goes to nature:



It's called barreleyes because of its cylindrical eyes, which sit inside its transparent head.

The Daring Dodo story, "Ghost Town Showdown" is finished and up in its entirety over at Sugary Serials.



If you like to read your comics all in one sitting, you can start here on page 1. Part two starts here.

Special thanks to Jerzy Drozd for all the organizational and promotional work he's put into Sugary Serials (and he's a great cartoonist, too!)

The second part of "Ghost Town Showdown" started at Sugary Serials.



Here's part one if you missed it.

Yes, I am alive.

Sorry for being MIA for so long. I started doing the stay-at-home dad thing full time a little while ago and it's really thrown my comic schedule for a loop. I do have a new Daring Dodo comic starting over at Sugary Serials though!

You can also check out my previous Sugary Serials comics: The Nose That Conquered the World! and Hyde and Seek.

Those comics are also available in print form, just click on the covers below:

Sugary Serials #8 with "Hyde and Seek":


Sugary Serials #4 with "The Nose That Conquered The World!":


And if you haven't been to Sugary Serials before, it's worth poking around at the other comics there. You find great, fun comics like Imaginary Friends Forever, Dreamform Defenders, Araknid Kid and more!

The print edition of Sugary Serials issue 4 is now available for purchase! Issue 4 contains my Daring Dodo comic "The Nose That Conquered the World!", plus Kyubikitsy & Kimonostereo's nemu*nemu comic "Who is the Crimson Scarab?" and Mark Rudolph and Jerzy Drozd's Galactic League of Marshals in "At What Price, Victory?" Keep in mind that as with all Sugary Serials print editions, all profits after printing costs goes to the issue's contributors.

Also on the Sugary Serials front, I just finished a new 8 page MacAbb Manor story which will be featured in issue 8.

Daring Dodo in "The Nose That Conquered the World" ended yesterday at Sugary Serials. If you want to read it from start to finish, go here.

kyubikitsy and KimonoStereo's "Who Is The Crimson Scarab?" starts today. You can see more of their work at nemu-nemu.com and subscribe to their Live Journal feed here.

Page 4 of "The Nose That Conquered the World" starring Daring Dodo is up at Sugary Serials.

These are some plush hominids I made for my son for Christmas. I haven't made any stuffed animals since I was a kid, but it was nice to give something three dimensional a try. More photos and some sketches below the cut...

As I'm writing this, it looks like my host finally died and my site is down. I'll be trying to find a new host over the weekend and hopefully I can transfer the site over, though that may be tricky since the domain is locked. Luckily I keep an offline copy of dialkforkomics on my home computer, so no data will be lost.

I'm still having problems with my webhost, so I can't update my site or check email (though my site is still working fine). Anyway, I set up a gmail account just in case anyone wants to contact me: dialkforkomics AT gmail DOT com .

Also, here's a site I've been wasing my time on: Mr. Picassohead. Make your own portraits (or whatever) using parts of Picasso paintings. Here's a couple I've done:

Cyclops
Kappa

If you do some, please share!

I'm having some problems with my webhost and as a result I can't check my email right now. Hopefully the problem will be corrected soon. Anyway, here are some sketches I did at work yesterday:

I've gotten into the habit of sketching on scraps of paper during slow times at work. At the end of the day, I go home with a pocket full of doodles. Here's some of those sketches:

Go to Sugary Serials to listen to me get interviewed by Jerzy Drozd. Just scroll down the page a bit below the current comic page (and while you're there check out the first 8 page story parts for both Dreamform Defenders and Equalizers of the Divide).

Also, a new page of Unusual Peoples of the World and Elsewhere:

Sugary Serials starts up today with the excellent "Dreamform Defenders" by Chet Lucero. Get in on the ground floor with this new comics site and look for my contribution, Daring Dodo in a few months!

The few weeks I was taking off turned into two months, but I'm back. September's the time for "What did I do on my summer vacation?' write-ups, right? Well, two things have kept me busy during my time off:

Not that I've been making posts with any regularity, but I wanted to put up a note that I'm going away for a few weeks. I probably won't be able to post new stuff until I get back.

Some new sketches below the cut:

Geez, over a month without updates - sorry about that. My schedule is starting to get busy and I expect it to only get busier in the months to come. The good news is one reason I'm busy is I have a new off-site project coming up in the fall. More news about that later. In the mean time, I'll be trying to finally wrap up "The Trouble With Poltergeists" and when I don't have new pages, I'll try to get some new sketches up (like the ones that follow):
