Also this week, I want to send a big thank you to Bengo & Pug, co-creators of the entertaining webcomics Li'l Nyet and Scratchin Post. Bengo made some very nice comments about Scrap Paper Comics on the Floating Lightbulb blog and I'm extremely grateful for the plug.

Gather Round! A New Scrap Paper Comic.

2009-05-18T20:58:00.000-07:00

A new comic has been uploaded to Scrap Paper Comics.

Click here to view: Her Name Was Lila, She Was a Showgirl.
This is one from the archives – it first appeared in November of 1992, in what turned out to be the last issue of Pat & Ray: Lost in L.A., but it's been colored and significantly edited. Besides, very few people ever read Lost in L.A., so it's brand spanking new to everybody else. We hope you like it.

or a "Burrito Hole" T- shirt

or maybe an "All This and I Love Hockey Too" Shirt?

I sure can't. (Okay, maybe a Snuggie would be better, but other than that . . . nothing!)

You'll find all this and more at the Scrap Paper Apparel store. Check it out today!

Semi-Quavers comes to the Web.

2009-04-12T20:44:00.000-07:00

Semi-Quavers, like Riffs before it, is a comic series set in the world of rock music. (After all, I was a failure as a singer/songwriter long before I was a failure as a cartoonist.) But, while Riffs was always about actual, real life musicians, Semi-Quavers focuses on a group of fictional characters in the indie rock scene.

The main character in this first installment is inspired by Joe Shanahan, owner of Chicago's Metro and that city's foremost rock impresario for the last 25 years or so. (Note that I say "inspired by" – it's not actually supposed to be Joe). Enjoy the comic and, as always, comments are welcome.
