Griffin, Griffon, or Gryphon?
I first saw it spelled “griffin,” but if you learned about this mythical creature from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, you probably called it a “gryphon.” I’ve seen other spellings over the years, and I figured when griffins get drunk they go on rants about how even they don’t know how to spell their name properly […]
The Ruhnmother
My first attempt at a long-form comic, Castle Whatsitsname, included a “wise old wizard” character with funny eyebrows. When I began to revise the story, I realized we didn’t need another Gandalf/Obi-Wan/Dumbledore, but we sure could use more venerable old women. You know, the kind who’s everyone’s grandmother on the outside and tougher than an […]
Family Portrait
I’ve been working on a longform comic called Castle Whatsitsname in one form or another since about 2005. I enjoyed doing the concept art just as much as the comics themselves. This art would have appeared as a photo on the old gentleman’s mantel somewhere.
Those Darn Interns
I’ve been working on a longform comic called Castle Whatsitsname in one form or another since about 2005. The first installment ran as a webcomic from 2012-2013, but Life got in the way. Despite Life, this story still burns strong in my heart. One day I hope it touches you too. Note: Cheshire calls herself […]
Welcome to Elsewhere
I’ve been working on a longform comic called Castle Whatsitsname in one form or another since about 2005. The first installment ran as a webcomic from 2012-2013, but Life got in the way. I’m still in love with this page though. I mean, who doesn’t like floating islands and flying ships?
Tire Trades
I’ve been working on a longform comic called Castle Whatsitsname in one form or another since about 2005. For 24-Hour Comics Day, I wrote and drew a standalone story featuring the CW characters. Ferkus (in the Hawaiian shirt) tricks his friends into a fool’s errand. The Cheshire Wolf (right) isn’t impressed.
Pirate Fondue
I’ve been working on a longform comic called Castle Whatsitsname in one form or another since about 2005. The first installment ran as a webcomic from 2012-2013, but Life got in the way. The story still lives in my heart. When designing this page, I asked friends “what would you do if you were a […]
Guide to Dealing with Really Painful Shit
In the fall of 2019, I endured one of the most excruciating depressions I have ever known. In the course of a couple of weeks, my entire framework for relating to other people imploded. I began to question everything about myself and my relationships and developed an extremely complicated 12-step suicide plan that I thankfully […]
Castle Entrance Hall
I’ve been working on a longform comic called Castle Whatsitsname in one form or another since about 2005. The first installment ran as a webcomic from 2012-2013, but Life got in the way. After finishing this concept art piece, I realized my spiral designs looked very Tim Burton-esque, but hey, it’s not like he invented […]
Sharing a Laugh
I’ve been working on a longform comic called Castle Whatsitsname in one form or another since about 2005. The first installment ran as a webcomic from 2012-2013, but Life got in the way. The older man has since retired in favor of a more diverse cast, but when I first watched Avatar: the Last Airbender […]
