Lone Star Romance

(If you click the pic, you'll be taken to a slide show featuring the entire comic)

This here is an unfinished rough draft of a comic that I wrote in the late nineties, art by Richard Menustik. I found it at the bottom of box of old books as I cleaned my apartment today.
I chopped it into a slide show for your amusement. I had forgotten this comic (but not the story)...
I suddenly feel like doing comics again. Too bad my drawings suck.

Note: It's much easier to read it if you hit "pause" and advance the slides manually.

Wow! BTW: Richard's portfolio was recently stolen and he lost much of his original artwork. I am glad there is still some of his stuff left.

WOW!

I'm a big fan of those "autobiographical" comics that were so big back in the 80s & 90s so that was exactly my cup of tea.

The art kind of reminded me of Frank Staack's work with Harvey Pekar.

Thanks for sharing, you Renaissance Man, you.
