Recalling Louie and Bruce, Part 2

The first panel below shows Leroy with his physician, Dr. Igor, MSE (Mad Scientist Extraordinaire). I used to have a sketchbook with more Leroy and Dr. Igor sketches and comics but it vanished years ago. Maybe some of Igor’s magic potions were the cause. The next three panels show Bruce selling lumber to a customer, … Continue reading Recalling Louie and Bruce, Part 2

Recalling Louie and Bruce, Part 1

I used to draw comic strips for fun. It was a hobby, nothing more. I loaded sketchbooks with my ideas, jokes (mine and others), and actual finished projects, which I shared with my friends. One of them, a newspaper publisher, published them in a local newspaper she owned. But that happened years after I stopped … Continue reading Recalling Louie and Bruce, Part 1

2011.2.28 Writing: Fictional Places

Before I begin developing my characters for a story, I either draw or paint locations, take photographs of interesting places, and make maps of where my main characters live.

My Birthday Again

Some gifts from my wife came earlier in the … Continue reading My Birthday Again

A Look Back

This little blog will turn one year old in a few days, so I’d like to look back at some of my favorite posts. Almost all of them are about my artwork, which makes sense since I’ve always been an artist first and foremost. My earliest memories are crayon drawings and fingerpainting with my mom … Continue reading A Look Back

Louie and Bruce 003-2023-0621

The comic page shown below is from October 1981. As I’ve discussed in earlier posts, the top 4 panels of my Louie and Bruce full-length comic strips sometimes told a complete story that I could have used as a short strip. I did this intentionally in case the newspaper decided to run a short strip. … Continue reading Louie and Bruce 003-2023-0621

Louie and Bruce 002-2023-0526

This comic page is from September 1981. The top 4 panels tell a complete story that I could have used as a short strip. But they tie into the story’s gag at the end. That’s all for now. Thanks for reading. And as always, peace and love. Steve, 5/26/2023 This post “Louie and Bruce 002-2023-0526” … Continue reading Louie and Bruce 002-2023-0526
