corroboration

...and then, roughly two years later in the fall of 2009 I began a collaboration with my wife and friend based on a bit of text. I decided I would put my piece of the puzzle together in the form of a comic. It was the collaboration that gave me the gumption to actual finish! Certainly I felt more certain than I had in a while.

And that comic became Dismiss the Devil. Probably the most purposefully obtuse of the picturebooks, it floats between dreams and memories.

The Final Weekly Lo Life: Week 8 (2006)


So there you have it, eight weeks of The Lo Life. I haven't drawn Lo since this last strip, so its kinda weird to look at that last panel; Lo seems to be waving good-bye as he says, "Ah well, I guess it will have to stay a dream."

As the tears dry on my cheeks I am working on a little cartoon to explain the Great D. Foote Comic Drought (2007-2010).* Stay tuned Los Hobos!

*In fact, Twang Scuffle was the last comic I worked on before the drought. Please see the Proper Timeline here.

A Weekly Lo Life: Week 7 (2006)


Only one more Weekly Lo Life left! That's right imminent doom awaits my comics (4 years ago).

A Weekly Lo Life

The Lo/Ho still resides in 2006. Little did these comics know, they were right on the cusp of a three-year-hiatus!...

Impending doom aside, I began a weekly version of The Lo Life with an actual story. The story: Lo discovers that he is more or less invicible thanks to walking his girlfriend's dog, being shot by an outlaw werewolf and then revived by some jazznik alley pirates. Run of the mill origin story sh!t. Part one:

And then there were none: The last of the unfinished Killbot & Johnston comics





And that's as far as I got. It certainly seems like a ton, but really its about 5 1/2 weeks of daily comic strips. It certainly got me comfortable drawing with a calligraphy pen, despite not drawing with one anymore. I still like the line work on these, although I think these last few are getting a little too loose. Drawing a robot organically is a little counter-intuitive, but I'm for it. Well, that's all she drew...

But remember, Killbot & Johnston lives on! You can read Killbot & Johnston, written by Mike Katzenstein and illustrated by Shane Pangburn at itsnotabook.com.
