Last weekend I spent several of the precious moments I have left on this planet sitting at a table at the inaugural Flower City Comic-Con, which was held in beautiful That City Where I Live (also known as Rochester, New York).
I made new friends, introduced many folks to the glories of my work and very nearly caused Farscape’s Gigi Edgly to miss her flight so that she could sign a last minute autograph for me (by the way, what’s a “frelling drannit”? ‘Cuz she called me that about three times).
But as always, the REAL fun was having my photograph taken with the costumed weirdos who invariably abandon their posts twirling cardboard signs in front of local Moneytrees to turn up at these shows. Unfortunately, their adorable costumes belied their violent natures.

| Who would want to harm little ol’ me? Well, just about everyone it turns out. |
 |
| Never mistake Snake Pliskin for Nick Fury! It’s not the beating you’ll get, it’s the twenty minute monologue he’ll deliver about objectifying his eye patch. |
 |
| I said a little off the top, not a little of the top off! ARRRGGGHH! |
 |
| That’s Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas, and a human skeleton from… my body?? (glorp!) |
 |
| “‘Peggy Carter?’ Never heard of her! Come on… you just got lazy with your Carmen San Diego costume, didn’t you? OOF!” |
 |
| Aww, poor Lambchop. Without Shari Lewis she’s been reduced to doing open mics at coffeeshops, reciting slam poetry about her college lesbian encounters. |
 |
| On the left, famous painter Joe Jusko. Hey Joe, how’d you like to do the cover for the next issue of PEEK? I can’t pay you, of course, but the exposure would be… |
 |
| Alright, you win! Ten contributor’s copies, but that’s my final offer! |
 |
| “Come father, let us embrace at last!” Kyoko from Madoka Magica was only too happy to reenact my favorite scene from Excalibur! |
 |
| Since Weapon Brown is kind of a male Furiosa, it was only a matter of time before a girl version of Immortan Joe showed up. Of course, she didn’t like it when IÂ asked her if she’d cosplay as my favorite character from Fury Road: that naked chick in the cage! |
 |
| 1-Upped!! |
 |
| Â Dalek Nyder, I have to know: what do you think of Weapon Brown?? |
 |
| I get it, I get it! It sucks! …But enough of this butt-sniffing, you wussy R2 unit! Let’s see how you fare when I assume… MY ULTIMATE FORM! |
 |
| Oh shit. You have an ultimate form too, huh? Um… can’t we all just get along? |
 |
| Spider-Man and the Joker?? You two are working together now?? |
 |
| Check it: me and rising superstar Matt Lintz (of Pixels and the upcoming Free State of Jones). Hey Matt… I’ve got a screenplay that would just be perfect for Donkey Kong. Do you think you could introduce us?? |
 |
| PIXELATED!! |
Columbus, Ohio… the final frontier! It is there that I attended the Small Press and Alternative Comic Expo, colloquially known as “SPACE” (though I prefer “SmPrAlCoEx”. I wish just once someone would consult me before naming their comic show).
The show was lousy with indy comic creators whose work will never be transformed into a highly anticipated Hollywood flop like Dawn of Justice. There were also precious few cosplayers, and thus I left the show only moderately bruised. However, what SPACE lacked in goofy costumes it more than made up for in ME!

| Which of these spirited independent creators will be the first to abandon their dreams and pursue an associate’s degree from a dental school? The answer is downstage left. |
 |
| Here I sit, broken hearted. Bought two tables and only… BRRRRRAAAPPPPPPP! (Please excuse me! I have a flatulence issue that makes it hard for me to think up rhymes.) |
 |
| These are my friends, Tim and Jack. They came with me to Columbus because they are white supremacists who wanted to visit a city named after the first European to deny human rights to the people of the New World. (Look, no one is perfect. You should hear their opinions on transgender bathrooms, though. Very progressive!) |
 |
| Speaking of racism: although I love the samurai costume, I must frown on the use of black face. |
 |
| I’m sorry! I had no idea you were rocking a facial tattoo! I thought you were mocking a racial taboo!
(Yay! My rhyming’s back!) |
 |
| This fellow’s schtick is that he is a viking who has travelled forward through time to become a stranger-in-a-strange-land in the Star Trek universe, where he…
You know what? Please just fucking kill me. |
 |
| Thanks Lars! Have fun at Dragon-Con! |
 |
| Here I sit, broken hearted…
(Oh right. I already used that one. Well, now I am broken hearted.) |
SPACE was great, and I recommend it for anyone except, once again, cosplayers, who will stick out like a Thor thumb.
Yesterday I was aught showing my filthy goods to an unsuspecting world at the Bread and Water Theater in Rochester, NY to kick off their production of Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead. A whole buncha my art is hanging on their walls and will be until March 13th. Chekka check it out!
And if that’s not enough, I’ll be doing a signing at Rochester’s Comics Etc. comic bookery on Sunday, March 12th from noon until five. Chekka check that out to!
Hmmm… I smell smoke. I better chekka check on my pizza rolls…
Me, myself, and a lot of merch I really don’t want to lug home.
My friends… or are they?? I’ll know after I bring out the drill.
CHICAGO! A town I have visited many times to sell my comics, always to be  beaten down by it’s big, windy shoulders! But this was the year I fought back! This was the year I assumed… MY ULTIMATE FORM!!
 |
|---|
| Are you ready for a man with a Muppet arm, Chicago?? |
 |
| You can’t handle this foreshortening, Mayor Rahm! |
 |
| Normally I am on the receiving end of the beatings at Wizard World Chicago, as even the softest-skinned nerd can sense my inner wuss. NOT THIS YEAR! I delivered foam rubber beat-downs to all comers! |
 |
| If you see Chewbacca, tell him he’s next!! |
 |
| Aww, I can’t hit a girl… |
 |
| PSYCH! Bitches and hos get pops in the nose when my arm of harm feels like dishin’ out blows! |
 |
| These were “Star Wars hipsters”. I notice that none of them went the distance and grew a Snidely Whipstache. Maybe Chewie will have one in the movie. |
 |
| This is the best throw that this “Rainbow Brite” could deliver. FEH! She wouldn’t last  three seconds in a Thunderdome! |
 |
| YEAH! Thass what I’m talkin’ about! Two trademarks enter, one trademark leave! |
 |
| I met this girl at a cyborg support group. It can be tough to talk about how we lost our limbs, especially if it involved la…lasers….aw shit, I’m gonna lose it… |
 |
| I think these guys were Angry Birds. |
 |
| This robot guy and I were pretty evenly matched, so we settled our beef with a pie-eating contest. It only took one apple rhubarb before his voice slots were hopelessly clogged. Robots: they never learn! |
 |
| I asked Korra her if she’s let me “bend” her over and take her on a trip through the spirit world, and this was her response. It was worth the pain! Man, I love those chicks with the hollow, white eyes! |
 |
| Speaking of avatars, this is Ryan, one of my Kickstarter supporters, and his avatar. Imagine my surprise upon meeting him! I always thought he was some being from Minecraft! |
 |
| …Sorta like this guy! Thanks for the pledge! |
 |
| This here’s li’l Daryl, ready for his nap after a hard day of fighting zombies (and eating a pudding cup!) |
 |
| Um…. Power Rangers maybe? |
 |
| Another bro from the wasteland. We went out for a little ultra violence later… as well as carnitas at an adorable family-owned Mexican joint. |
 |
| The celebrities turn out at Wizard World! Willie Robertson, ladies and gentlemen! |
 |
| This is Darth Bane, the deadliest Sith from the Star Wars universe, the only warrior ever to defeat Yoda in single combat! And to his right, a guy wearing a gay purple sash. |
 |
| WHO’S THE JUGGERNAUT NOW, BITCH?? |
 |
| Well well well! Look who’s back for Round Two! Didn’t I just teach the Juggernaut who’s…
(aw shit.) |

Sound the trumpets! The Peekstarter met its goal and once again God’s desire to thwart my career has been shoved right back up his cosmic poophole! THE PEOPLE ARE RUNNING THE UNIVERSE NOW, YAHWEH!
Anyway, I’d like to thank everyone who visits Whatisdeepfried.com for all your support and for spreading the word. Peek is really going to be a great looking book and the content is going to melt the skin right off your fucking faces you Middle Class slugs!!
(Wow! Success makes me aggressive! Here is a sweeter expression of my appreciation!)

I am going to take a second swing at doing an IAmA on Reddit. I goofed the first one I posted by not realizing I needed to be “live-in-the-room”, so to speak. So, I will now set aside a bit of time from refreshing my Kickstarter page and do this proper.
On Sunday (11/10), starting at 5PM EST, I will conduct my “Ask Me Anything” session (I’ll post the link when it goes live). AMA’s are  a conversation where, as the name strongly suggests, you may ask the host anything you want. Feel free to talk about my comics, why I have not been sued into oblivion, what drugs I am going to spend my Kickstarter loot on… whatever you like!
UPDATE: Here’s the link!

I haven’t been blogging enough lately, which I know is the feature that keeps you coming back to this site. Believe me, the moment Ben Stein writes his next syllable I will be on it like a pit bull on a Milkbone dunked in babies’ blood! Eww… went a little too far there.
Anyway, what’s keeping me busy is, of course, all things related to the Weapon Brown graphic novel. I’d hoped to have my Kickstarter going by this point, but I am happy to report that for the first time in my life, I am only a single month behind schedule! I am completing the art for the back cover, which will leave me with only a few of the book’s guts to finish, and then I launch with extreme prejudice! Ooo… that sounded cool. Went just the right amount of too far that time!
Meanwhile, Weapon Brown is the talk of the Intertube. Max Scoville, in his  Study Hall web-series, has declared Weapon Brown to be the perfect appetizer to tide one over until Fallout 4 hits the markets. What is Fallout 4, you ask, and what does it have in common with Weapon Brown? Beats the shit out of me! Maybe they’re a metal band. Who cares? Free advertising!! Watch Max sing my praises below.

Mmm yeah, that’s entertainment. Want more? My cartoonin’ buddy Keef Knight of the K Chronicles and The Knight Life recently got into creating live-action amusements on the YouTube. here’s his first offering. Viral up this biznitch!
Next week I will have a little something new in the video department myself: a short teaser-trailer for Weapon Brown to whet your appetite for my oft-mentioned animated commercial, so get excited for that–as excited as a porn star slapping on a coat of self-heating lube! Did I go too far that time? I wonder…
