“Okay? Okay!” coming out Oct 17th
September 24, 2009


Okay? Okay! is a 60-page “double”-comic book following a relationship from two different perspectives through two different comic styles. One direction tells my view and the other direction features my girlfriend, Melinda Boyce’s, account. During the process we did not let the other see what each of us was drawing.


The comic will be released at the 2009 Alternative Press Expo in San Fransico this October 17 & 18. Shortly afterwards it will be available for purchase online and at some Portland, OR comic book stores.

I will post some more pictures soon.

Okay… well not really massive… but something definitely worth writing ma and pa home about. Included in the reconstruction will be:

  • Better, cleaner look
  • Much, much more comics
  • Music from my two bands: The Jellyfish Bandits and Bat Cave Beach
  • A nifty store
  • More purpose
  • Daily posts (opposed to the monthly ones)
  • plus more?

During this time the website may have issues and ugliness. I’m sorry.
