The Stupid Pages 27 - Little Dog

I Hold the Little Dog

This was drawn as part of my entry application for the Art Instruction Schools, probably in the late-80s-early 90s. You know, the draw Tippy The Turtle people that advertise on late night TV. I think they said I had promise. I never did sign up. As you can see from the link, they are still going strong. I don’t think this drawing has ever appeared anywhere else. Some background on them from Wikipedia.

The Stupid Pages 26 – A Race of Eyeless Fish People Will Overrun Our Already Distressed Welfare System

Happy lucky 88th birthday to Abe “Fish” Vigoda. After much struggling with trying to fit some text from either J. G. Ballard or H. P. Lovecraft to this series of phone cam shots of a dollhouse; I finally gave up and decided to freestyle it. Got something better for me?

The Stupid Pages 25 – Yoga Class by Sam Henderson

Special Guest Stupid Page by Sam Henderson. Culled from the vast Wow Cool archives, this gag may be 20 years old or more. You should be aware that Sam has the eleventh issue of his series The Magic Whistle: Body Armor for Your Dignity from Alternative Comics available now-online or at your local comic book shop.

Lost classic from around 1989/90? Why this gem never saw print I cannot imagine. –Marc Arsenault

Found randomly on the web

A review of the Jason Martin Stupid Pages strips (about a year before we decided on that as a name to package them in)

The two comics I’ve only seen at Fantagraphics that are memorable are “Albequerque Ben,” by Richard P. Butler, which is amazing, and a few Xeroxes of nonsense strips Al Columbia got from Marc Arsenault featuring some guy’s strip with titles like “Cassette Bird” and “I’m Gonna Pop Your Cheddar Legs.” I think both artists have socializations problems, let’s say, but the comics are amazing.

Tom Spurgeon – The Comics Reporter

Thanks Tom! Jason is clearly better at it (I like to think I’m better at getting a good gut laugh). Jason was also responsible for the slogan of the month in the Comics Journal once. Can’t quite remember what or when on that.

The Stupid Pages 15 – Chattanooga Choo Choo

Chattanooga Choo Choo

Not entirely true story of meeting Mark Martin and the famous Ben ‘Benny’ Burford at the restaurant at the Chattanooga Choo Choo.

Benny owns many drawings of mine, which I find bizarre. The unreadable caption in panel five should read – “Refuse to talk with their hands, probably think it’s “girly” – which is a nod to Mark Martin’s writing style.
