Every month DC Comics (publisher of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, etc.) pits 10 comics against each other on their webcomics site, Zuda. For a few weeks, people are invited to rank, vote on and praise or damn the comics until one emerges victorious (read: most popular) and the creators of said comic are offered a one year contract to keep making it.

My good friend Brock Heasley (TTF brother and creator of, The SuperFogeys) along with artist David Schlotterback, and colorist Michael DeVito,  created a Zuda submission called MONSTERPLEX. which went live on the zudacomics.com site today.

To assist in his efforts to gain support in the competition, Brock has established a blog at http://monsterplex.blogspot.com/ . There he’ll be updating every day with news, link to reviews,  interviews, sketches, and behind-the-scenes looks. You’ll also find full details about how you can join TEAM MONSTERPLEX!

Please go check out his submission!  It’s cool stuff!


Oh man, if you haven’t visited the Tall Tale Features website recently, you have to stop by today and check out the new site design!

Irma Eriksson (TTF member, creator of the webcomic “Imy”, and website designer extraordinaire) totally pimped out the site just in time for a host of new content.  TTF has completely overhauled the entire site and added some very cool new features to compliment the already awesome Tall Tale Radio Podcast!  This week Tom Racine interviews Rick Kirkman, artist behind the wildly popular syndicated comic strip “Baby Blues”.  As always, Tom brings home a top notch interview.  I’m always amazed at the people he gets for his show!

So go check out the site! Be sure to browse around and check everything out.  Don’t be afraid to use the comment sections.  We really want to hear from you.

… and yes, Irma’s mad website skills are what shamed me into stepping up my own site a notch.


Pardon my appearance over the weekend, while I futz around with a site redesign. Things will shift and move, but the strips will keep coming.

UPDATE: Well, the meat of the site is done.  I’ll be adding and tweaking as time allows.  All seems fine in Safari and IE.  If anything looks effed up in anyone’s browser, please let me know.


A couple of recent pictures from my sketchbook.


Plush Opus circa 1984.  He’s held up remarkably well over the years.  Now if only I could find my square plastic “Billy and The Boingers” record.
