No, Not One Million! One Trillion Dollars!


One Million Dollars? by ~joshthecartoonguy on deviantART

Whew! I haven't had a chance to draw a new comic strip since I started my second semester at CU!

I was outraged, but not surprised, when I heard the enormous sum the new administration plans to spend in the coming years.

[Insert your favorite Star Wars quote here]

I'm at a Target, I see a Darth Vader action figure, I read the label: WARNING! Choking Hazard! Bingo! There's the strip. THANK YOU GOD!
One thing about a strip with regular characters is when I come up with an idea like this, it's impossible to include them. However, I liked this idea so much, I couldn't resist. Hey, maybe I'll make the guy in the second panel Joe's dad or something . . . Okay! I've decided! Introducing: Joe Edison's dad. It may be the first and last time he appears in this strip. Who knows?
By the way, when did George Lucas gain so much weight?

The Fraction Faction

I haven't posted a comic in a while because I'm working on a larger project.

On the last week of high school, my calculus teacher, Mrs. Free, hit us with one last assignment. We had to do a math project and she gave us several options, such as write a poem, make a poster, or write a children's book about math. I thought about what kind of kid's book you could write about math, and the idea hit me! I turned in my rough draft and got 100%, and have been working on illustrations for the story all summer. Here are a few samples:

If you've read my Bob 'n Joe comics, you'll recognize several of the characters.

In a public school . . .

Just a thought: if you believe that God had an active role in the creation process, why is it so hard to believe he could produce miracles? Which is harder: to create matter out of nothing or to change water to wine? It all boils down to what you believe about creation.

LCS - Mandatory Volunteerism

At LCS students are required to perform 30 hours of volunteer service. I love how Bob is scratching his desk.

LCS - I'm Pro-life

Choice cards are small blue or white cards LCS students recieve at the start of every school year. If your card is signed five times, you reciece a detention. Zach, the spikey-haired boy in stripes, is another of my favorite characters. He plays a lot of video games, loves Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, and. . .well, is pretty zany.

LCS - Lockers

My sophomore year, LCS required all students to put combination locks on their lockers. Students were not pleased. I remember one of my classmates went so far as to duct tape his locker shut in protest. I was amazed that this comic was not censored.

LCS - Helicoptors

Some of the comics I've done have only been published in my school newspaper, The Light. Usually this is because I wrote about some topical issue or about something unique to LCS ("choice cards" were a regular topic). When I wrote this, road closings made it very tricky to get into school. To me, this comic is very symbolic. Bob and Joe coming to LCS. I had been homeschooled from kindergarten and I had never even set foot in a "real school." Also, you'll notice the helicoptor is owned by Duncan Aviation. I was asked more than a few times if my family owned the company!

"Bader than old King Kong, and meaner than a junkyard dog"


Boris was inspired by the song "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" by Jim Croce. He's been held back a grade and resents the brainy Joe for being in the same class as he is. I am told that someone started rolling on the floor laughing when he read this comic.
