You’re right, Minerva, it could be … but surely you’re overdue for some good luck right about now…

“It’s darkest after the dawn”
Okay, so here’s the deal for those of you I confused with my (initially meant to be confusing) dream sequence: the last two episodes were Minerva’s dream, but now– for better or for worse– we’re back to waking reality; I’m not going to pull a “Groundhog Day” on you! Even if this would be the right time of year to do so…
I guess writing magical characters in a land of magic is harder than I thought it would be…

“The dream of Minerva (part 2)”
Is Minerva a prophetic dreamer? Is she just working out her waking problems while she sleeps? Find out more (but maybe not the answers to those questions) next episode…

“A rude awakening”
“A rude awakening” is certainly what these two have in mind for the Magistrate!
(whew!) Wasn’t sure if I remembered how to draw Watusi as a dog…January 3, 2018
“Welcome back to Oz!”
I hope you’ve all had a great start to your 2018!
Now that Watusi and Minerva have found a safe spot to regroup, a new day (and new magical powers for Minerva’s rock) can’t be far off!
…or can it?

“Talk show! Meow!”
To wrap up this batch of Watusi jam comics, here’s an all-new collaboration with my friend and fellow APA-5 alumnus Drew Boynton! I rarely get the chance for my drawings to share a panel with another artist’s, so this one was a lot of fun! While real life activities have conspired to keep Drew away from his drawing board lately, you can see more of his Doggie & Jilly comics in my new Doghouse Funhouse anthology, as well as on his website.
I hope you all have a happy start to your 2018! See you back here next week as “Watusi in Oz” resumes!

“Wrapping up Christmas”
This little comic was my holiday piece for 2008, and it’s also included in my Festive Funnies collection. Wishing you all the best for the holidays ahead!

“You win a few…”
This comic is from one of the earliest Watusi issues (#4, Aug. 2003), an issue assembled from fellow exhibitors at my very first comic convention as an exhibiting artist– SPACE 2003. That show was a great experience and a great introduction to other artists who were soon to become my peers and, in many cases, my friends. Unfortunately, most of the cons I’ve attended in recent years (which, granted, are geared more towards vendors and cosplayers than to creators) haven’t measured up to that experience…
While I may not be in this video from the event, both of this comic’s other collaborators are: James West (small press cartoonist & RPG illustrator) and Matt Dembicki (who has only gotten busier as an artist, editor and publishers since then).

“Soak’d!”
I may have drawn this strip years and years ago, but it’s only now seeing print– so I thought I’d share it with you online, too!
The second issue of Watusi’s Doghouse Funhouse (my giant-sized kid’s comics anthology) had a l-o-o-n-g road to completion; I won’t go into it here (since I’ve already gone into it here), but I’m glad it’s finally done and available to the public. I’m really pleased with everyone’s contributions in the issue, and hope you’ll purchase a copy for yourself– more details about the comic, its contributors, and how to order a copy can be found here. Or…
You can just stop by the Memphis Arts Collective’s Holiday Show and Sale, where that issue will be on sale along with my other comics, prints, drawings, paintings, buttons, and more! I’m excited to be a part of the event again this year– it features over 30 artists and artisans from the Mid South showing and selling unique handcrafted items you won’t find anywhere else! It’s open at 1501 Union Avenue every day through Christmas Eve, so you’ll have lots of opportunity to shop local, support local artists, and have FUN! Watch my Twitter feed for announcements of when I’ll be at the market; it’s your chance to get comics signed or just chat with me about my art. Hope to see you there!
