The Return of Stickman #1495





Good luck finding the news story that inspired this strip. There are so many about this problem that I'm surprised that there isn't a name for it. If there is a name for it, please let me know.

The Return of Stickman #1247


I've heard everything from the birds got drunk from feeding on yeast to the Nazi UFO theory. I thought it might be funny to mention the UFO theory in my strip. Yes, I didn't make this up. I only wish I had. Just think. It's the Nazis behind all of this. Damn Nazis!

The Dark Knight - 2008 & The Return of Stickman #805


Many fans of the DC universe see the Joker as the ultimate in sociopathic masterminds. To depict such a character adequately means that some very dark places are indeed not merely seen, but deeply explored. Before I saw this film, I thought that Heath Ledger’s role might have been over-hyped, with all the talk about his death after filming. But I have to admit that even if Mr. Ledger were still alive, he would be in Oscar contention. Such a superior performance can only be achieved with the other strong talents of film production, from writing to directing. This Batman film raises the bar from previous efforts and is well worth your trip to the theater.


As long as we’re talking conspiracy theories, we might as well include U.F.O.s in the discussion.

The Return of Stickman #461

I think I will start my first entry by showing you The Return of Stickman strip I drew for today. This strip started when I got an email from my old high school friend, Chris. We would spend study hall time drawing cartoons and coming up with elaborate stories. The trouble was that study hall was so short that I never had time to finish anything I started. One day Chris said, “Just draw a stickman.” After that, we had a lot of fun. So, when Chris sent me an email and asked me if I still drew Stickman, I pulled out my clipboard and quickly drew up a strip to send to him. Only this time I had some degree of maturity, a college degree, decades of professional experience, and a deep understanding of comics, as clearly seen by the quality of this strip.
