Grizzly & The Bear Patrol

Most of the folks on my friends list have seen this already, but I've had some requests from non-LJ folks to see the superhero-comic book that I've been drawing for the better part of a year. It's been a big endeavor and done more for fun than anything else. So here is the entire first issue (24 pages) in a non-friends-only post. The images are very large, so I've put them behind a cut to save space (and those who have read it already). If it were a movie, it'd be PG-13 or so (no nudity, but some suggestive stuff), so use your best judgement of whether you should view it at work.

Dad's Car

Similar to Dad's car and spool
With Father's Day coming up, I thought I should do a post about my dad. He's been gone for over ten years now and it surprises me that it's been that long already.

I wish I could say that I had a great relationship with my dad. While it definitely was good in some parts, it was not so great in others. I think he got along better with my twin as they were more similar in attitude and humor.

When I do think of good memories of Dad, I often think of his car (that's not it in the photo, but it's close). People think I'm making this up when I tell them about it, but I swear on a stack of 8-tracks that it's true.
