Cartoonist and podcaster Douglas Arthur has opened a can of worms and found inside of it… ME! The mother of all nightcrawlers! Listen as we discuss scandalous comics and comic book scandals on his Assault Of The 2-Headed Space Mules! podcast!
The cover art for The Hero’s Journey #2 is coming along nicely! Send me your fan mail!

At last, the “Costume Drama” storyline is in the bag! I offer a big “thank you” to all the people who have contacted me telling me to hurry up and get this done… I’m always pleased to know that I have anxious fans!
I plan to have the print edition of this story (which is the second chapter of Deep Fried: The Hero’s Journey) for sale as soon as possible. In the meantime, please send your “fan mail” formatted fan mail to me at comic(at)whatisdeepfried.com so that I don’t have a dang blank page in the book, consarnit! (BTW, fan mail is always more appreciated when it references Deep Fried and its storylines, not my work in general or my hygiene. Just, y’know, letting you know.)
A couple of weeks past the New Year is longer than I wanted to take completing this storyline, but its still pretty good considering my usual update habits. But now it is 2018! So much awaits us! A terrible Han Solo movie and an ugly and overlong election season will surely be the high points of the coming year, but I would also like to make 2018 the year I bring as many new products to market as possible!
First, however I intend to bring an old product back to market! For many months customer demand has been high for more print edition of Weapon Brown, which has been sold out for most of a year. I intend to satisfy this by running a new Kickstarter in February, and I hope I can get as many of you as possible to help out and spread the word when this launches on February 5th. Not only will this mean more copies of the Weapon Brown graphic novel for the world, but if all goes well, a whole NEW Weapon Brown product will come out of this: an epilogue to the main story that I am calling Weapon Brown: Aftershock. If you’ve always wanted one more hit off the Weapon Brown bong, your dreams may be about to come true!
There is also the next issue of PEEK! to get stoked for, as well as the conclusion to the first arc of Kobayashi Maru and what I hope will be its bright-but-dark future in comic shops. I will introduce all these ventures as they take shape.
Naturally, I will also be bringing you new weekly comics! Next week begins the first of several installments of my revolting auto-bio strip “Jason’s Creamy Filling”. This will run for a bit while I rev the engine for my Kickstarter and get the next issue of Deep Fried formatted. See you in seven!

Recently, I was allowed to barge my way into Mad Magazine’s “Farewell to NYC” Christmas party. The Mad offices are relocating to Burbank, California to be closer to the Warner Brothers HQ, which will allow WB to make terrible movies out of Mad properties just as fast as they make them out of DC comic books! The Mad editorial staff generally prefers lox over sushi, and so have largely decided not to make the move to Cali’. This party was held to close the book on one era of Mad. Now: all hail the new era, where Mad will be delivered in pill form!
Anyway, here are some snaps!
I made sure to keep the exit in sight at all times, just in case Mort Drucker showed up looking for the kilo I promised him in 1983.
Angelo Torres and John Kovaleski, both trying to find the nicest way to tell me that they’d rather lick a plunger than contribute work to my next issue of “PEEK!”
Yours truly with editor and cartoonist Jacob Lambert, who knows how to take any worthless nonsense and make something better of it.
See what I mean?
Here’s Nick Meglin, who confused the “farewell” art book that he was supposed to hand to editor John Ficarra for a menu. (Things got awkward when he asked if the Sergio Aragonés was caught fresh that morning.)
That look you get when Sam Viviano realizes who he has been sending checks to all these years.
Left to right: artists James Warhola, Al Jaffee and Peter Kuper. Al lives his life the way he draws it, a fact I realized when I developed my film negatives. It turns out my photo of him is also a fold-in!
