Carnation Instant Nonfat Dry Karma

I just finished a 16 page mini comic, 5.5 inches x 8.5 inches , "Carnation Instant Nonfat Dry Karma". Here's the hand colored cover and the first 7 pages. It's a true story, except for the part about Melville's mom.

I finished After The Goldrush a few weeks ago. It's 24 full pages, 8.5 x 11 inches, 4 half pages, and a centerfold. Here's a couple of pages from After The Goldrush, with a detail of one of the pages. Thanks to Neil Young for the skeleton upon which this cartoon flesh hangs, and thanks to Flea of The Red Hot Chili Peppers for the left bass on Who Be Dat's "Dance on Fire" back in 1988. Every copy has a different centerfold, and as always, the inside covers are decorated with original art. Each order also comes with a "Special Secret Song Inside" bonus artwork. You folks who ordered The Last of The Decal Liquors know what I'm talking about!

So, here's the deal. Donate $11 to my Paypal account, and if for some strange reason that link doesn't work, there's a Paypal link button in the left sidebar. Send me an email to doogntoon at yahoo dot com, and tell me where you want the comix mailed, and I'll mail you a copy of "Carnation Instant Nonfat Dry Karma" and "After The Goldrush", along with all the bonus original artwork.

27 year old ink stained photocopy of a cartoon, no idea what ever happened to the original, I probably gave it away to somebody. Air Burst Over Managua, Yodeling Dogs, Can O'Germ Warfare, and Red Diaper Somoza were "Band name suggestions for your next band" from Mad Magazine, circa 1985.

After The Goldrush

A couple of weeks ago, I finished a comic book, "After The Goldrush". I had that book kicking around in my brain for the past couple of years. I packaged it up with a bunch of other comix and sent it off with my CAKE application.

 "After The Goldrush" is a true, personal story about the intersection of art, music, poetry, mental illness, and a gun. It's about the death of a friend.

 But there's no good time to talk about mental illness and gun control, right? Fuck that shit, let's talk about it.
