Drunk Duck Adventures: The Mighty Drunk Duckers

Feel free to drool.


Yeah, I know this is two months later than I originally planned, but the first page goes live right after NYCC. The first "issue" is going to focus on the three characters on the cover, how The Rioteer winds up in modern times, and the accidental formation of the full team.

...and jokes on where Freux keeps all those scissors.

-Riot!

So I haven't posted for a while. Sorry.

Figured I should send some sort of update your way. It's only fair, as I'm so interesting and important and talented and in-shape.

And tall.

Anyway, I've been working alot, despite what my complete lack of posting here may suggest. Shaun and I have been updating Applied Living closer to 'on schedule' than it's ever been! We also took a move over to our own site (graciously hosted by Rampage Network -- FO' FREE) . It's pretty sweet and Shaun and I feel productive. For once. I also switched up the style YET AGAIN (I can't seem to decide on what I want my art to actually look like). It looks good, in MY opinion. But whatever -- it'll probably change again in a few days.

I've also started workin on Zomben. It's written and drawn by this guy Ben Steeves (who, by the way, is mega-friggin-talented -- makes me jealous, sort of the way I am with Riot, but in a less gay way). I'm coloring for it. You guys should all go check it out. It's a really cool comic and I'm honored to be working on it.

ALSO, Riot finally sent me his Rioteer pages, which I've started on -- and am super excited about. Like SUPER excited about. Mega excited. Ultra.

Uber.

Looks like I've got alot of work ahead of me.

Wish me luck!

My Kung Fu is Strong.

So, guess who's abusing the computers at work to try and play catch up?
Oh, that would be me. My full-time return is nigh.

Also, the LAPD? Less than helpful.







Thanks for the support guys. Hopefully my stolen comps will show up...or I'll soon be able to afford a new one.

Yo, ho, fiddledy dee...

I have that damned "You are a pirate" song stuck in my head.

In other news, here's something I drawed. The new design for The Rioteer's suit. A modern-ish version of this will be making a debut in DDCW after the current "Epic Week" that's going on. Why? Simply because I can.

The Rioteer: Champion of Freedom!

So...this actually started as a gag, a few months ago. The comic book shop that I frequented was looking for a comic strip to run in their newsletter. Some of the people who worked there actually read The Path, so they asked me if I'd be interested: the pay was free comics. How could I refuse? I'm a big fan of the old Republic Captain America serial (Cap is responsible for thousands of deaths in that serial...it was great), and of "pulp" heroes like The Spirit, The Shadow, and Mignola's Lobster Johnson...so I said, "How about a guy fighting Nazis in New York?" I had been working on a design for "retro" Mr.Riot for DDCW, and decided that it could double as filler for DDCW until Zac and I got off our asses and started updating again: so, "The Rioteer: Champion of Freedom!" was born.

I did three stories of The Rioteer, each one roughly 5-7 pages long...and they were ridiculous. I mean, really. The Nazis had won WWII, New York was now the Third Reich's playground for mad scientists...and out of the chaos, an ex beat-cop named (get this) Shamus MacRiot becomes The Rioteer to try and fight back. Complete with a Captain America-esque shield and Mobster partners (the Mob wasn't any happier about the Germans taking over NY than The Rioteer was), The Rioteer fought Nazi Vampires, robot zombies, primordial monsters and the terrible Dr. Zeitkrieg! The last page of The Rioteer run in the last newsletter showed Freedom's Favorite Son being hurled from the top of the Empire State Building by a giant iguana. Apparently, the readers of the newsletter (all 32 of them) demand to know what happens next...so I'm going to keep doing it. It's fun.

I'm going to have the first Rioteer story at WWTX printed (through Kinkos, because I'm poor). Above is the cover.
