Random Drawings




A few random drawings surfaced recently. A couple are from the early 1980s (yellow paper), and a floater in the Marc Myers envelope looks to be from the 1990s (on the back of library card catalog card).

Olympia Power & Light: Bezango


Hey, Olympia Power & Light is online, covering Oly news, celebrating frivolity, and giving space to us lowbrow culture types. They have provided some of my Bezango columns on their website under the "Frivolity" category, I'm happy to report!

Edgar Allan Poe in McCleary


My brother, Bryan Willis, wrote a great one-man play centered on Edgar Allan Poe. The work was first presented to the world right here in little old McCleary in 1998. The play has continued to make the rounds to this day.

Although caricature is not really my strength as a cartoonist, how can one resist making a try at drawing a face like Poe's? This drawing was recently used again as part of our local library's Poe art show.

Morty Comix #1500















































































There were a few Morty Comix that were 80 to 100 pages thick. This one was originally sent to Marc Myers. I know another one about this same size was sent to Chester Brown, and I'm sure there were several others out there.
