Coming Soon to a Web Comic Near You!!!

Bursting onto the scene like someone bursting onto a scene, it's Captain Freedom!
I'm working on new Super Ordinary Living episodes, (as this sketch should indicate) but until the valiant captain is ready to make his debut, you can reread all the exciting scenes of normalcy that make up my web comic.
Click on the "Enjoy SOL from the beginning" link at the top of the page, and then just keep clicking the "Newer Post" links at the bottom of each episode to read it from it's humble origins.

Vacation has been great!  But it is time to go back to work soon.  And that's okay too.
See you online.

Highland Games

Hanging out at the Highland Games. Representing Clan MacLantern.
A good excuse to wear the kilt and drink beer.

Groovy 60s Design

The cover of some game from the early sixties. Spotted at a thrift shop.
I think you have to wear velvet jackets or go-go boots and guess what
is printed on the giant cards before time runs out.

in the Dark Dimension. Put it away.

O'Blarneys Pub

A Harp Lager.
And a cute redhead.
Yummmm!

Hello Cone Kitty?

I'm not sure what kind of magical creature that is.
A cat with a warning cone on it's head?
Is he blowing magic farts? Or is that the toes of the bigger beast?
No warning cones in the danger zone.
I think the Wannabe Tribe carved this totem pole.

I'm not too worried about though, my vacation has just begun.

Jungle Princess at Super Ordinary Living

I have posted a special komic kover of Princess Zorna over at Super Ordinary Living, my web comic.
 
Alex “Xela” Schomburg, was a great cover artist.  He did a lot of the early Captain America, Namor, Human Torch, All Winners books during WWII.  He also did this cover (below) for Exciting Comics featuring the lovely Judy of the Jungle.  Alex was famous for being one of the first comic artists to use an airbrush for his cover work.
Above is my loving digital watercolor tribute to (well okay, complete rip off of) Xela’s Judy (below).  Super Ordinary Living’s own Zorna Jungle Princess in a Super Orbital Luminaries issue by Omnibus Komics, my own fictional komic kompany.
 This is one of his many All Winners covers from the WWII era.
Alex also did a lot of Scifi magazine work.  He passed away in the 1980s.
I used to have one of his All Winners posters on my wall as a kid.  I spent a lot of time watching Toro and the Human Torch burn through German oil tanks while Cap and Namor busted some Nazi chins.  All while dodging a hail of bullets.  Amazing stuff.
