Outside In # 5

1st edition, 1983, 150 copies on white cardstock.

2nd edition, January 1984, 20 copies on white cardstock.

3rd edition, 1984. Seattle, Washington : Starhead Comix, regular stock white paper.

Max Haynes, Rollin Marquis, Julian Ross, Bob X, Marc Myers, Lynn Hansen, Kevin Wildermuth.

Rollin and mail-artist Julian have both vanished from the comix network radar, but I always enjoyed their work. Marc's self-portrait as an Easter Island carving is one of my favorite pieces by him. Haynes, Bob X, and Wildermuth produced images that are classic examples of their styles. Non-artist Hansen surprised me by participating and his self-port has contributed to the enigma he behind.

I'll be sending out contrib copies to the artists and to our fab Morty the Blog patrons who have dropped some of the coin of the realm in the donate box.

I've already got a few drawings for yet another jam. Please feel free to send me a random image and I'll see how I can make it part of story!

And Dan W. Taylor, I have not forgotten I still owe you a drawing.

New Jam Comic Still Alive, Honest

As some of you might recall, last February I compiled and published a Morty the Dog blog jam called We Rode With the Clowns. Shortly after that I sounded a call for contributions for a second book.

Yes, that book is still alive. The script is now finished and I'm hoping to get it into print in the next month or so. The contributors are: Anvil (she created the above image), Harry Bell, Bob Vojtko, Dan W. Taylor, Steve Stwalley, Ed DeVore, Roldo, Marc Myers, Bruce Chrislip, Chad Woody and Brad Foster. Is that a great lineup or what? Hopefully my script will do these wonderful artists justice. I still have to create my linking illustration and captions.

In the meantime, any graphics that arrive from this point on will find their way into a third jam book. Basically, just send me an image, any drawing that I can present before a mixed audience, and than I'll link the randomness together into a story like the Clowns book. This next one has a tighter story than the first. So stay tuned.

Clay Geerdes Scrapbook

Bill Kossack's Clay Geerdes Website inspired me to dig through my own bits of paper around here and assemble this scrapbook. The concluding memorial I scanned was originally published in, I think, Cartoon Loonacy and perhaps White Buffalo Gazette. It pretty much ties the whole scrapbook together.
