Sigh…
As reported to me from an offspring correspondent….
So now I have to pay his tuition?!? To these people?!?

How to tell Ty Templeton from Stuart Immonen. Here’s a handy chart.
Stuart has much smaller ears and is not a rabbit.

Many of you readers know I have four kids. All four have shown up on the blog a lot lately, I’m not sure why, really, but the trend continues.
I’ve meant to put this up for quite a while , it’s the opening chapter of a comic book I did with my son, Taylor, back when he was seven years old. When kids are that age, parents often read them a bed-time story, but Taylor insisted we do it backwards – that he WRITE himself a bedtime story, and that I illustrate it. Each night for a couple of months, Taylor would create two pages of a story, telling me what to draw, rather specifically, in the panels, while dictating the dialogue…and it all went onto pieces of folded paper (so it would resemble a printed comic book).
There are many chapters of this epic tale, this is the first one. Some of the word balloons are hard to read, I know, I think Taylor lettered one or two of them.
WHEW! What a cliffhanger!! Whatever will Flash do?!?
Tune in some time in the random future when I publish another instalment of this fantastic tale. Not next week, I’ll have something else next week. And not likely the week after that, but some time!
Who says this is the Bun Toons age of random nepotism?
It was done many years after the comic my son Taylor wrote, but it turned out a zillion times more successful – so, here’s your “written-by-a-real-kid” comic book bonus moment: THE ORIGIN OF AXE-COP!
If you don’t know about Axe-Cop, you’re out of the loop, baby! Get hip to the sick webcomic goodness here.

So I’ve been offline for more than a week, half because I’ve been swamped with work, and half because my computer had a minor problem with the inner workings and had to be repaired. BAD electronics! Bad!
I think it's fixed now, but no sudden moves...
While I was away, the magnificent Marcus Moore and the gang at HOVERBOY ARCHIVES has put up the next THRILLING installment of Hoverboy’s olde tyme radio show.
Of course, these old shows are very close to my heart as they were written and produced by my grandfather, and the grandparents of many of my friends. This episode features the grandfather of my pal, 70s rock star BOB SEGARINI, as well as the grandfather of my son TAYLOR, who performed in the commercial segment as the deeply confused boy, “BILLY”. It’s a seminal role in my son’s grandfather’s career, as he was only 13 at the time it was recorded. And of course, the episodes continue to feature the grandparents of Steve (Ed the Sock) Kerzner and Liana K, Rick Green (from History Bites, Red Green Show, The Frantics) and Rob Pincombe (from Kid vs. Kat)
We’ve also found more of those exciting HOVERBOY vs. ROBOT HITLER daily strips, and scanned ’em for your enjoyment up at the Hoverboy Museum!
Because Robot Hitler is still pretty cool, right?
Even with all this FLOOD of new Hoverboy material that we’re bringing you today, I’m at work on a cool, secret Batman-related project that’s going to own me for the next few weeks or so and will be out next year.
But now that my computer is back, I’ll be hanging around here a little more regular-like.
Oh, and the next issue of Mad Magazine has some work in it that I did. Go buy that when it’s out on December 22, 2010….like you just bought the Northern Guard and Strange Tales issues that came out yesterday….RIGHT? You can see a preview page I did from the MAD DUMBEST 20 MOMENTS from 2010 issue HERE.
But first…go listen to the latest installment of the Hoverboy radio show. It’s funny, I promise.
Here now, your comic book/radio moment of Zen.
Seriously? This is a real comic?
Ty Templeton's ART LAND!!
