Facebook Game Requests

Things spiral out of control for a bear as Facebook game requests start to pile up on his phone.

As a side note, this kind of happened to me one time. The whole game request thing, not killing a beaver.

Superhero Origin Movies

Man, there sure seem to be a lot of superhero origin movies. Do we really need to spend another hour of another movie watching how a certain hero came to be? Peter Parker is a nerdy high school student who is bitten by a radioactive spider and learns that with great power comes great responsibility. Superman is sent to Earth from his dying home planet, discovers superpowers and decides to stand for truth, justice and the American way. Doesn't everybody already know this stuff?

And if they didn't know it, why not just watch the other movies where these things happened? Or read the stacks of comics where they happened. Or watch the animated and live action shows where they happened. Or get on Wikipedia and read the first paragraph of the character's page.

It seems like audiences today are starving for something new, but time and time again, studios hit that "reset button" and suddenly we're back in the classroom with wimpy Peter Parker, looking at our watches, waiting for him to get bitten by the friggin' spider already.

Drawing Riot Cops and Yelling Folks - Work on the New Anti-Flag Album "The General Strike"

My great buddy Frank Noca, a pretty super powered designer, and I are insanely proud of our newest collaboration on the band Anti-Flag's new release, The General Strike. Frank came up with the concept and after pitching a couple failed attempts -- good ideas, good start, just not firing bulls-eyes - - I did this illo:

Frank liked it. The band liked it. And we came up with some pretty punchy stuff, if I say so myself! You should check it out if you get a chance. If you like what you hear, tell some friends. If you like what you see, tell even more!
