These earrings were made at the request of Dr. Mamie Caton. I photocopied my original color drawings onto acetate, then cut them out. A pinhole was made in the tab, and the appropriate earring technology inserted there.

Out in Cowboy Country
November 24th, 2011 · 1 Comment
I drew this originally as a slide show, then made a comics version. I kept the graphic balloons translated by subtitles, however, since that was so much a part of it. Our cowboy does see some cows, but they head out, so he stops for lunch. His horse is stolen, so he serenades his sweetheart […]
Weirdo
November 9th, 2011 · Comments Off on Weirdo
A little cartoon of mine appeared over the letters column, in the 13th issue of Weirdo — founded by Robert Crumb, and edited at that time by Peter Bagge. (I didn’t letter the logo; I just left it in for context.)
Eddie Unchained
November 3rd, 2011 · 3 Comments
“Eddie Unchained” was the most elaborate appearance I ever devised for my dummy, Eddie Gray. He was the star of this musical, supported by me, my other dummy Lloyd, the fine actress Ivy Austin (replacing Alice Playten on short notice), and a fine string quartet (Robert Zubrycki, Cenovia Cummins, Carol Benner, and Benjamin Whittenburg). I […]

I drew this directly onto prepared film, and projected it with a classroom film strip projector, for an Ullage Group event about technology.
Bimbo & Bombo
October 14th, 2011 · 1 Comment
I wrote “Bimbo & Bombo” back in 2003, after a visit to the Alchemical Museum in Kutna Hora, in the Czech Republic. I read it occasionally at readings; and toyed with the idea of illustrating it. Finally, I did, in 2011, and presented it at a “Carousel” show. Bimbo and Bombo travel through air, water, […]

I trot out some French, in an excerpt from a White Knuckle Sandwich slide show.

The White Knuckle Sandwich building, drawn here for a postcard for a gig at the Fez, in NYC. And here it is in color, for a slide show from our performance at the Kitchen, Millennial Mouthful.
The Song of the Baptismal Bells
August 9th, 2011 · Comments Off on The Song of the Baptismal Bells
I found this scathing verse by Jean Richepin, and did my best to translate it. I intended to set it to music, but discovered that Georges Brassens had already done that. So, I illustrated it instead; and have projected and recited it in various theaters. Philistine, you copulate With your lawful wedded mate, Dreaming, Dreaming, […]
