For an entire month, this blog was committed to little more than posting pictures of moustaches in order to help raise funds that would go on to aid the fight against cancer. Matthew Lubicky and I, under the auspicious name of “The Venerable Gentlemen…FROM SPACE!,” raised a grand total of $1,127.92 to help benefit men’s cancer research and raise awareness about men’s health.

Today kind of became, by complete default, ballpoint pen doodling day.

My computer was a little wonky at work today, so I had some time to muse on a recent vaccination I received while things got sorted out. This ballpoint pen doodle is the result of those ruminations.

Someday soon I’m going to be able to start a blog post without referencing how the move and my new job have led to x, y or z. Today is not that day.

Because sometimes it saves you a few hours a day when you just post a picture worth a thousand words instead of writing them, the long neglected tumblr known as “Pizza Party!” is back.

I pulled out my pens earlier and doodled this Hellboy image, colored it a few ways and thought I’d post the results here. I’m still getting back in the swing of doodling (Please note: This is not art, nor will you hear me calling it that—’cause it isn’t art.) so I stuck with a simple bust-shot and an angle that always comes easily for me when I’m “cartooning.” Anywho, here are the images. I hope you dig them.

Come December, the “Best Of” lists begin rolling out and I realize how few of this year’s massive amount of great books I read in the past 365 days. Keeping up with every exciting indie and explosive mainstream title is hard work in this economy, even for a guy who ended up getting most of his comics via comped copies in 2009. Still, though I may not have read much that’s made people’s top ten lists this year, but I have read a ton of great comics in 2009.
