I write you from a far country..

Everyone needs to go check out Jason's Watchmen Abridged comic.

Is in the air again..

You didn't think I'd forget about you did you, Joel?
Happy birthday, buddy.

As requested..

I am in the habit of making people's dreams come true when I am able.
Markus is a blogger/actor/karaoke-er buddy of mine (for those of you who don't already know him) and I have no problem immortalizing him in this fashion.

I'm only trying to give you what you want..

Dylan continues to bring the ruckus..

You really get inside the groove..

Thought I'd do my own tribute to the newly canceled Blue Beetle as inspired by Jemma's incredible tributes to Jaime : one two three four five
I'm really glad that I'm friends with her now, because she's going to be hell of famous some day soon.

For Thomas..

I can't believe it..

STAN LEE EDITION!


Dylan brings us comics' ultimate camera-hog badass.

I was overwhelmed..

Dylan has officially joined the party.

Join the party! Part 1!

Jason sent me these two!


Vy joined in with this one!

Don't you want to be a part of the fun?

For Dylan..

Champion of the sun..

Someone has come to my blog by Googling the phrase "every single thing in the solar system".

This is awesome to me.

You know what else is awesome?


JEMMA!
Artist extraordinaire and SuperFriend, Jemma Salume drew this for me for my birthday.
If you're having a hard time even processing all of the awesome that's taking place, what you are seeing is me (chrishaley) riding on the back of a dragon in my rock 'n roll star-powered sparkle pants with my best friends Scott Pilgrim and All Star Superman after having just defeated God in a game of checkers.

I am certainly one of the luckiest people around to have friends like this.
Friends who are able to fully grasp my awesomeness.
Jemma is the best.

But if it's not so bright..

I drew this for my friend Liz.
The lines the two animals are saying are lines I recalled from songs on a mix cd she made me for my birthday. It was great.
I have no idea why I drew what I drew, but I knew I wanted to use those two lines.

We have stories..

Curt Franklin is basically the best guy anyone could ever know.

He's honest, trustworthy, dependable, upstanding, courageous, intelligent, handsome, clever, witty, sharp, understanding, forgiving, encouraging, funny, and most importantly the ballin'-est dude I know, all without being a dick about it.

Thanks to him I've seen places and done things I otherwise never would have seen or done.

Some of these things include meeting Evan Dorkin, James Kochalka, Patrick Gleason, Mike Mignola, Tad Stones, Bryan Lee O'Malley, Nate Bellegarde, Benito Cereno, Becky Cloonan, Dan DiDio, Mike Nelson, Kevin Murhpy, Bill Corbett, and Darth Vader.

Some other things include finding myself passed out in strip club bathrooms, seedy motels in shady parts of town, and in rehab.

That last bit might be a joke... since he's helped me develop this drinking problem it's hard to remember everything clearly.

My point is this, Curt is as good and true a friend and talented and supportive a creative partner as anyone could ever hope for, and I am very thankful that I am able to say he is both to me.

Today is his birthday, and I hope that it is a wonderful one.

I don't care what you call me..

Superhero Video Posting Week : Part 6!


I have absolutely no recollection of that one at all.
I'm enjoying it now though.

These I remember all too well though.
