Made for TCJ, the 3rd of a 4-panel jam. The dialogue inside the double-quotation marks is a quote from the preceding panel.

Made for TCJ, 2nd panel of 4 (panel 1 featured Cupid using an erect penis as a twitterpating arrow), currently (temporarily?) relegated to the quarantine section.

A little disappointed that I missed making one of those phalluses a strap-on.

When, how and why you meet a devil—any devil—is less a choice and more a destiny.

The Toronto Comic Jam went online this month. No surprise there, right? Tom King did an incredible job transforming the site into an interactive space. It had basically been a site that published the TCJ jam book collections for each month’s jam at Cameron House in Toronto.

With the exception of my logo for from the MOON RACCOON, I hadn’t drawn in years. These are all the panels I drew with a stylus mouse for April’s online jam, in the order that I assess on the spectrum of to write home to Mom about to consider deleting. But each works in the page they appear.

What if instead of flakes, snow fell all at once? Like 6 inches of snow just plummeted to the earth in one thick blanket setting off car alarms and knocking people over, but that was it. That was the snowstorm.

[roostertree]

Would car alarms go off, though? If snow powerfell in blankets, would our car alarms not be designed to remain silent if, say, all shock absorbers registered a uniform downward pressure?

Baby strollers and umbrellas would be a lot more sturdy... or would they? If snow had always powerfallen, would life not have evolved for the condition?* All snowbelt animal life should have evolved to withstand a powerfall. Fewer wide animals; mostly tall and narrow. No moose antlers? Would deciduous trees build themselves differently?

Remember the Coneheads from SNL, Jane Curtain and Dan Aykroyd? If snow fell like that on Remulak (the Conehead homeworld -- I googled that shit), I assume a bullet-shaped top would've had an evolutionary advantage.

And can you imagine the lore of ancient peoples? The Tower of Babel, instead of simply reaching Heaven, might've been built as the human response to God having started a snowball fight. "God needs his face washed out!"

(*the above all said with a layperson’s understanding of natural selection)

$2 for the zine (in person). For an extra buck, email me and I’ll put one into the post for you (so, $3 total).

At the End of the Night

- This was made for an anthology by the Toronto Comic Jam (usually held at Cameron House), featuring work about the jam by regular attendees.

The happening depicted is only slightly truncated for space, and edited (again, only slightly) for self-depreciation.
