I spent a lot of evenings last week and many hours this weekend between Cincy-NKY Pride events finishing up this comic book issue. I started writing this issue mid-March 2011 and I remember being very excited imagining the pages. Once I started drawing it, it took a lot more time, but I got a lot done a lot faster toward the end.

One that struck me so strange is that I was imagining the NEXT issue breakdowns while I was working on this one. Not sure what that means, other than I'll likely be doing a sixth issue. Below is the revised cover, I worked on the shading some more, and the finished issue. Be warned it may take a while to load. There are 24 large, full-color pages behind the cut, including a bonus poster of the original cartoon I did for [livejournal.com profile] mikiedoggie to cheer him up a few years back when he was in a funk. It's the basis for the whole story. It's all work safe and I hope you enjoy it!

Cool!
Far out!
Funky!

I can see why this one took a while. Great work, as usual.

Thanks! Once the drawing and inking were done, the coloring went by much faster than I thought!

I'm excited to read this issue. I'm going to do so tonight when I can savor your wonderful talent! Electricity went off in my neighborhood at 11pm last night and didn't come back on until 3:30am. I'm behind the curve this morning. Have a great week!

HUGS!

Thanks and big hugs!

Hahaha, so funny to see Mikie's funk-slaying taken to a whole new level. :D

I love this comic so hard! You are the BEST, Mark.

Heh! I'm glad you like it! I kept it under wraps a long as I could. I think only Brian knew about the issue, but even he hadn't seen it.

And I'm sure you find the right balance often! :)

Witty... balance... I laughed so hard I fell off the chair! Great work as usual!!

Well, I wanted to give Mikie a main power with some limitations among his other abilities. At full power, his urine stream along could probably cut through the urinal like a laser :)

Well, the alcohol on his breath could become a blast of fire. MIKIE"S A DRAGON!!!

LOL... Maybe we'd make this your "hidden" power :)

You have so captured [livejournal.com profile] mikiedoggie! Love the Hawaiian shirt! One of the best comics, evah!

Mikie just lends himself to comic book life, don't you think? I'm glad you're enjoying it :)

Incredible!! I, too, loved the "right balance" comment. Great story line, and the artwork never ceases to amaze me. (Well, and get me all hot and bothered.) love love love....

Heh... it was fun to work on it and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now I get to take a break before starting another one :)

great job Mark. Thanks for sharing. I really like the bonus poster. Mikie better frame that sucker!

From: [identity profile] kybearfuzz.livejournal.com
LOL... well I think Mike has that cartoon already from years ago. I threw it in here as a bonus for everyone else. :)

What a great issue!!
You captured Mikie perfectly. He does think he's stronger and funnier the drunker he gets ;-) LOL

Great comic, again!

I loooove the way you draw hairy chests. ;-)

OK, I've been reviewing journal articles, and I'm still in editor mode:
Page 9, it's should be its. The "it's" isn't the possessive. :-)
I can't help myself. ;-)

I'm glad you like it! And I'm glad you like the furry chests! :)

As for the editing, I never mind it. I read through it twice and thought I'd caught all the mistakes. Sigh... Oh well, it'll just be one of those errors that readers catch now :D

Date: 2011-07-12 09:36 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kybearfuzz.livejournal.com
And in re-reading it, I just found two more mistakes... sigh...

That's why I never read any papers that I publish, once they've been printed.

Once the proofs go out, I'm done with it!

Date: 2011-07-12 01:55 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kybearfuzz.livejournal.com
Well, I often find mistakes after the fact once I post it. I view posting the entry as "publishing" it, because I know a few folks have downloaded the images in some cases, so I'd rather not change it after that. I just have to live with the errors and try to proof better next time.

There is one issue I think I left off a page number even. So that I meticulously review now. :D

Enjoyable as usual, but what was the MD comment in the next-to-last panel about?

Loved the to do list!

Date: 2011-07-14 01:33 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kybearfuzz.livejournal.com
Lol. Well the MD comment is a little nod to my buddy John who played the victim here. And as for the "to do" list... well, always good to keep it simple.

Glad you enjoyed it.
