Well, I’m really new to this book thing. But here I am flogging another book. I just got my big box of them and sat down to look through the printed version. I like it. I’ve been doing The Buckets comic strip for a long while, with a few disappointing outcomes over publishing a new Buckets book. After this last time, I figured I needed a book no matter what, and asked John Lotshaw with Moonbase Press to set it up for me. He did, and now I know what everyone in my family and group of friends are getting for Christmas. If you have family and friends, I encourage you to consider The Exhausted Parents Guide To Why Your Life Is Normal.
I went back through six years of Buckets strips, reading each one. The ones that made me laugh out loud were used in this book. So that’s what you’re getting: distilled Buckets O’ Funny. Concentrated Humor in a neat package. Remember to get extras, ’cause you’re gonna want to cut one of them up to put your favorite cartoons on the fridge and on your office door. See? That’s me being helpful. Christmas and birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, Hannukah, Eid, Festivus, Agnostica, Solstice, New Year, Black Friday… I honestly do not wish to interfere with your right to give and receive celebratory gifts in your own freely-chosen fashion, within the bounds of your country’s attempts to legally restrict any antisocial craziness going on. I’m just sellin’ books here. Enjoy.
Here’s page 3 of Weirdbeard. Hope you’re enjoying these things. And yes, I know that Boma, Zaire wasn’t around in what was thought of as ‘Pirate Days’, but YOU try finding a city that starts with a B in a country that starts with a Z. Tricky. You bend the rules of time and space just to finish the poem.
I had an excuse to plow through some old comic book pages I drew the other day, and ran across this- I drew it during my first year as a freelancer. December 1991, business got slow over the Christmas holidays and I thought I’d better keep busy. This had been rolling around in my head for quite a while back then, and I took the time to draw several pages. The poetry’s not art, and I’m not entirely sure I’m happy with the cute little story- it hinges on a theme used in an Indiana Jones movie at one point, and that just seems stupid, now. But it was useful as a sample of my work at the time. I took the pages to San Diego Comic Con a year or two later, back when SDCC wasn’t quite the juggernaut it is now. Anyhow, just in case you needed something new to look at in place of Guessing Game pictures (which we’ll come back to) then here you go:

You’ve had those dreams, right? Drive right off a cliff? Falling, falling, falling…
I wonder if those guys that do the amazing stuff on skateboards and bikes and motorcycles have those dreams and… the falling isn’t the scary part. I mean, they do that all the time. Biiiig deal.
By the way, click HERE if you wanna give the gift of Hubris to some poor soul who won’t or can’t read it online.
Poor ol’ Mr. Mittleif. I’m sure we’re all glad he gets to live his dream, but the guy might just die doing it. Oh, well. Insurance for the Fest is settled! Now, who can Hubris find to fill out Team Crisis?
SOLD! The Buckets comic strips that were donated to the Team Cul De Sac Book to raise money for Parkinson’s disease did pretty well in the auction: $310.70! Less than some entries but more than most. The Bill Watterson painting of Petey went for over $13,000. Yow. Anyhow, if you were one of the bidders, many thanks goes to you. The auction raised over $50,000 to go toward research to end Parkinson’s Disease. You guys did good.
