The other day, my good pal Heccubus and I were talking about how awful Editorial Comics are.  You know, the ones you find in Newspapers.  If you think about it, they are.  They’re probably the most ham-fisted, unfunny medium in all of cartooning.  This conversation got me thinkin’, though, about my own comics.  I don’t think it’s much of a secret how I don’t exactly embrace my older work with open arms.  This is mostly because of how dang editorial they are.  Personally, I like to blame this on the lethal combination of being a teenager AND being a fucking nerd when I drew them.  Don’t get me wrong, there are a SELECT few that I think are awesome, but most of them are pretty kneejerk editorial and have not aged well.
