Happy Birthday Peppermint Patty!

People often do a double take when I tell them that Charles Schulz is one of my influences as an artist.  His strip PEANUTS, which spawned the wildly popular Charlie Brown cartoons, reveals Schulz's mastery of economy, something I always appreciate in great artists.

One of my favorite PEANUTS characters, the resident wild child Peppermint Patty, is celebrating a birthday today.

GhettoManga Funnies: "Great Memory"

A silly comic strip.  Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

A Boss From Hell Christmas

Because the original artist went AWOL for some reason, I got to draw Boss From Hell!  So fun!

Here's a one-page comic I drew and lettered recently for a client (more info about that below).

Happy Birthday George Gant!

I don't talk about him enough, but that dude George Gant is one of my favorite cartoonists working right now!  

Today (April 21, 2020) is his 37th birthday.

As social media continues to choke the newspapers to death, comic strip artists hafta do their thing on the web and figure out how to make it pay.
Gant is one of the cats doing it right...

DJINNX- "Irresistible to Women"

Great Power. No Responsibility?

No.  That's not how it works.

We're all exhausted with politics, the coronavirus, and President Trump.

So of course, I pulled out my cintiq, fired up adobe photoshop, and made a new comic strip that included all three.  

Hopefully it'll inject a little levity into your day... 

Sheriffs Be Like...

New 4 Panel Comic Strip

Y'all know I love Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, so sometimes I draw comic strips from it so I can make it useful.  Except for the last panel, these are pretty much direct quotes.

SUPERHERU Returns for #BlackHistoryMonth

Look! Up in the Sky!

In March of 2019, I collaborated on the creation of SuperHeru, the brainchild of Californian writer J.R. LeMar.  I was pleased when he came back in the Fall and commissioned me for a couple episodes of a SuperHeru comic strip.

Are You Honoring People's Time Or Wasting It?

"Waste their time, not yours!"

I shared this sketch in my Daily Sketches email with some thoughts about lame marketing tactics this week .  I got some pretty strong words sent back to me.  I still stand by what I wrote, though, and figred some of the GhettoManga readers might wanna see.

#RoleModels- Check out POISONOUS an Inktober strip by Muhammad Rasheed

I'm a big fan of independent cartoonist M. Rasheed (Monsters 101, Weapon of the People, The Destroyer).  A devout Muslim, intellectual and culture critic, his most inspiring quality is his belief in the transformational power of cartooning.  It looks like he is doing a series of comic strips for Inktober this year.
