A short Lackadaisy comic, picturing Abelard Arbogast in a field, swinging a scythe, looking like the Grim Reaper. The comic reveals that he's just harvesting corn stalks for festive autumn decoration.

A Patron livestream sketch request for Abelard as the Grim Reaper turned into this.
Just go ahead and be dramatic. And festive.

So, I was laid off by my job this week after 13 years.

Not only that, but it happened as bills from my recent heart attack-related medical visits come due.

Because of that, I'm doing a big sale for SKTCHD/Off Panel related things, so now's a good time to subscribe if you can...because I need it!

the cover image presenting the story pitch of “Color Theory.” it has the logline and working synopsis. There is an illustration of a potential cover on the right. the logline and synopsis will be pasted below: “A scientist and a painter set out to bring color back to their black-and-white world.” This story explores how we observe the world; how we examine it, experience it, and finding the value in doing both. Artist’s and scientists alike try to explain the unexplainable, Color Theory examines where these two schools of thought differ and align. Dr. Key and Robin are transported to a world made purely of color, tasked with repairing a broken glass prism in order to return home & bring color back to earth. They must encounter every hue on the color wheel and adhere to their demands in order to acquire each prism piece.

the second page of the Color Theory story pitch, containing 3 sample pages. these pages depict scenic views of prehistoric earth, showing how nature manages to enact illusions (venus flytraps, tree ocelots, walking leaves, possums, and poisonous elderberries looking similar to blueberries). We then follow a group of dinosaurs, focusing on two brontosaurus’ while the dialogue talks about how the most powerful illusion nature enacts is continuity. The last panel follows a group of pterodactyls.

page 3 of the story pitch for Color Theory containing 3 more sample pages. the dialogue within these pages talk about how prehistoric creatures are used to the idea of balance and being at equilibrium with nature. At this point, color was still around. Color is then explained to have been a driving force for evolution back then. Scientists today weren’t certain if it was meant for communication, protection, or both/more. The last page follows two orange butterflies flying towards an incoming asteroid. The dialogue says that color is far beyond humanity’s comprehension now.

The 4th and last set of sample pages for Color Theory’s story pitch. The first page shows the impact of the asteroid depicted in the last page. The dialogue explains that after the asteroid hit earth and the smoke had dissipated over a matter of years, color was no longer visible. The following page zooms out from a tv on top of a bookshelf, suggesting that the previous exposition was told through a nature documentary. The remaining pages are now in complete greyscale. The remaining page shows a wide shot of our main characters bedroom, dialogue from the television continuing to explain that humans are in a similar place to the dinosaurs back then— under the assumption that the world is at balance with us, despite not knowing if something life changing or world bending can happen the next day.

while i have one story pitch left…

“A scientist and a painter set out to bring color back to their black and white world.”

This is how I count the comic pages I’ve drawn in a year! Heavily inspired by mangaka Akihito Yoshitomi.

Some rules:
- I must do at least the pencils and inks
- Each page must be wholly unique (doing colors and tones don’t count as separate pages)
- Illustrations don’t count (not even covers)

Two quartz Minecraft towers that count how many comic pages I’ve drawn in a year. The farther one is much taller than the closer one.

Page Count: June 2025

Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to make any comics (big coast-to-coast road trip). Last year’s tower looms above…

Pages: 0
Total: 24

Morning Doodle: “The people would not think of the priest when they said their prayers and heard the church bells chime. They would think of their golden king and whisper of the day he’d come to their village.” (Leigh Bardugo’s King of Scars CH 11)

The Six of Crows books do that really well. The chapters switch readers based on which character’s perspective the chapter is written in
