Go Ahead, Ask me Anything

It’s been a little over two years since I started doing Jumbo deLuxe comics in the form that they are here.* I’ve been having lots of fun and I hope that you, dear readers, have enjoyed it as much as I have. I’ve learned a lot about cartooning, both in my storytelling and drawing abilities in the last two years, plus I’ve met many amazing and talented new friends, both online and in person, who have provided so much invaluable advice, encouragement, support, and good times. To me this is the greatest reward for making a webcomic. I’m certainly not in it for fame or money, or even trying to get cheap laughs.

What does the future hold for Jumbo deLuxe comics? More of the same, I hope. I just want to keep on drawing these and getting better with my craft so that I can see the ideas in my head looking the way they should on our computer screens. I eventually want to make some sort of book collecting the stories in this webcomic, but that may be quite a while from now. Maybe this time next year, who knows.

I’d like to open up the floor to you, dear readers. Ask me anything about Jumbo deLuxe comics. I have very definite ideas about where things are going with the story, but I’d love to hear your suggestions, comments or ideas on how I could make it better. Are there certain strips which you especially like and would like to see more of their kind? Maybe there are characters you’d like to see more of or less of. Or perhaps you want to know why Emily can talk to with her dog but not the monkey. Whatever, go ahead and use the comments section of this post, or use the contact form elsewhere on this site. I’d love to hear from you.

*Back in the early 2000′s, Jumbo deLuxe was a weird assortment of my half-baked sketchbook doodles which resembled comics, presented through hand-cranked HTML. We’re lucky those days are over, believe me.

Great Snakes! It’s Modest Medusa

Meet Modest Medusa! My pal Jake draws this wonderful comic strip about his troublesome friendship with a young Medusa. (Yes, that’s her name, and the sort of creature she is.) I recently did this little guest strip for him where they get together for an afternoon at the movies. Modest Medusa updates three times a week when Jake’s not too busy attending conventions, designing games, or doing color for other cartoonists.

It’s a great all-ages comic filled with fun, innocence, adventure, and more than a few hints of naughtiness. Highly recommended.

I’m still working on coming up with more efficient ways to draw architecture and vehicles, so this one took a while. Special thanks to my good pal Barry Deutsch (creator of the Hereville series — he’s just finished book 2 as I type this!) who gave me some helpful hints that got this page looking much [...]
