Lookit me! I’m on another podcast! Yippee!
This time it is the Synthaholics podcast! Listen to me describe Kobayashi Maru (I actually get asked the classic question “where do you get your ideas?” SQUEEE!), and then rip Scott Bakula a new one as me and the hosts discuss one of the worst episodes of Enterprise ever: “Extinction”!
Here’s the sketch for the special-edition cover of Kobayashi Maru #1, which will be going to my Death Ray 2020 Kickstarter pledgers. If you didn’t pledge, you will NEVER receive this edition! NEVER! WHO’S LAUGHING NOW, YOU SMELLY APES?!??
(Whoa… easy Jason! the people who didn’t pledge to your campaign aren’t animals. They aren’t human, but they aren’t animals. They are more like plankton, and plankton has a place in our eco-system too.)
You think I have forgotten all my mothballed projects, but you are wrong! I dust those mothballs every day so they stay nice and fresh and can do their job of preserving the projects they have been sprinkled upon.
One such project is obviously Kobayashi Maru, which I halted three-quarters of the way through its first storyline when I realized that I was tackling too many projects at once. But it is hardly gone for good! I will be debuting the conclusion of the story soon after Deep Fried’s ”Kiss & Makeup’ storyline wraps, and (knock duranium) Kobayashi Maru will return in glory in 2020.
Here’s some fresh sketchbookery from the project. This is “Herbert”, a character who will be introduced in the next storyline. The first person who correctly identifies the Star Trek reference I am employing here (no fair running to Memory Alpha!) will win my coveted “brownie points” award.

Did you think Kobayashi Maru was finished? It’s just getting started! For the next couple of weeks, enjoy some penciled pages from the first story arc that I will be wrapping up soon.
January has been my month to prime the pump for several new and ongoing projects, including Weapon Brown: Aftershock, Kobayashi Maru and Deep Fried. In February, look for new strips to begin arriving, as well as announcements about what I am holding in store for the rest of 2019!

Alright gang, listen up! I have been ping-ponging for a while between the Kobayashi Maru and Deep Fried strips, but starting next week it’s Deep Fried straight through until I finish the “Costume Drama” story line, about six more installments. That way I can complete the second issue of The Hero’s Journey before the year is out, and conclude the first arc of Kobayashi Maru after that.
That’s how it’s going to be. And if you don’t like it, well, we can just take it outside.
