NEW REVIEW: Seven Chances

Peo­ple keep ask­ing me — “Dan­ny,” they say, “what do you think about Buster Keaton’s 1925 movie, Sev­en Chances?”  Well, those peo­ple will nev­er know, because I haven’t told them about this site.  But YOU can find out by click­ing here: SEVEN CHANCES REVIEW

 

Buster, Hat Girl
Buster and either a flap­per or a vamp… I can’t tell which.

Half the Battle #10 — Man on the Moon

Half the Battle

#10 — Man on the Moon

This is one of the very first strip ideas I came up with, and one of my per­son­al favorites.  The idea comes from an episode of the car­toon where Cobra Com­man­der’s grand scheme was to burn his face on the moon with a giant laser.  I saw it as a kid and nev­er for­got it.  It just seemed so stu­pid.  I watched the episode recent­ly, and cer­tain char­ac­ters with­in the show agreed with me.  Destro (who makes his first appear­ance in my strip) scold­ed Cobra Com­man­der for wast­ing mil­lions of dol­lars on what he called, “cos­mic graf­fi­ti.”  When it’s word­ed like that, it kind of seems awesome…

Any­way, this strip has tak­en me the longest to do by far.  Since I kin­da suck at Pho­to­shop, I decid­ed to take a tuto­r­i­al on how to draw a moon. Enjoy!

#9 — Flint’s Gloves

This is by far the most ‘insid­er’ of my strips.  Instead of mak­ing fun of some aspect of the car­toon, it makes fun of the fans (always a classy move!).  If you don’t get it, con­grat­u­la­tions!  You are not obses­sive enough about GI Joe to troll forums.  If you want to know what this strip is about, click HERE.
