Holy crow am I embarrassed

Man I am sorry. It’s been AGES since I actually posted anything. But, I’m done with work early today, and have no plans tonight, so I thought it was high time to get back to it. Yes, I’ll eventually get back to the R.E.M. reviews, but in the meantime I thought I’d share some scanned images from the upcoming ‘Dirt’s Funnies #0′, which will technically be a second print of a mini-comic I did back in 2005. Here’s the intro page:

This is a picture I did of myself while watching the election returns during the 2003 California gubernatorial recall election. Drawn in San Francisco:

And finally, this is self-portrait I did at Logan International Airport in Boston the day after Elliott Smith killed himself. The night before my friend and I had gone to see Superchunk with the Appleseed Cast at the Middle East in Cambridge. It was a great show, and a great time. When I got home, I checked Pitchforkmedia and learned that Elliott had stabbed himself in the chest. The next day I went to the airport to fly back to SF, but the flight got screwed up, so I spent eight hours or so bumming around, really sad.

On the flight home, I ordered – for the first time in my life – a cocktail on the flight. I’m not sure if the flight attendant knew something was wrong, but every time I ordered one, I ended up getting another four free, getting me sufficiently tight for the trip home.

I really miss the coat I drew in this picture. I had it for years. More to come, I promise.
