Pointless Man fears compromise.


Conceived and drawn on a bus, my only two panel comic ever.

    err..I guess I should elaborate on that a little bit...

    I like how in the first panel of this comic the boy looks all innocent and there seems to be a friendly smile playing on his face as he asks what he thinks is a completely appropriate and unremarkable question to an ordinary, probably helpful, man (I'd guess he has asked similar questions before with good results)...

    Then in the second panel he's frowning (that looks distinctly like the frowny face on a band pin that I have...) as Pointless Man aggressively wheels around and berates him, because he thinks Pointless Man is being totally unreasonable and his hostility seems to coming from nowhere.

    Now I feel like I killed a joke...

    Not at all. I appreciate the thought you give even two panel gags like the above. Two out of the three other people who've commented on it were deeply unimpressed. One of those called it 'obtuse', or at least more obtuse than my other comics.

    I have several PM scripts worked out, and even a few pages of dummies. However, much of my free time is not free, and I am often more intent on relaxing than in tempting my hands to go numb trying to draw. Silly, I know. I really want to finish these bits up, and move on to thinking up new material. Soon, I keep saying.

Magical Unrealism

The same men who say global warming is a hoax, Obamacare has been failing for eight years, and abstinence-only sex-ed works are also convinced even basic gun control is an impossible and useless approach which would only make us less safe. These are also the dudes most likely to tell you black and brown folk have it too good, Obama is a secret Muslim born in Kenya, and Sharia law is being forced on American legal systems. I wonder if there's some sort of overarching thread or theme to all this.

Miike Takashi's Sukiyaki Western Django

I am a big fan of prolific Japanese director, Miike Takashi. His movies are not always good (which would be an accomplishment, considering he averages about three feature length films a year), but he doesn't mind experimenting or playing around. Not everything he tries works, but when it does, it can be pretty damn awesome. His subjects and genres vary wildly from a musical about a family running an inn, to a kid fighting goblins, to some of the best yakuza flicks I've seen. Meanwhile, he tends to get good performances from his actors, even when they are children or non-native Japanese speakers. The only time I've been completely disappointed with one of his pieces was a rejected instalment in Showtime's Masters of Horror , entitled 'Imprint'. The story was stupid, and the acting was bad. This was Miike's first all English production, and it showed. So, when I found out one of his 2007 films, Sukiyaki Western Django was in English, I was a bit put off. How ...

The summer's demi-apocalypse has to wind down at some point.

It's the end of summer, once again. I could not be any more ready for cool weather, rain, and a chance for the forests to recover from the flames. After travelling near fires in Colorado and Oregon's Columbia river gorge, I am back wondering about north Seattle, under a red sun and painterly clouds, not far enough from the source of the drifting smoke. It seems like the world is burning, but that can only last so long.
