Read moreThe Stupid Pages 46: Crazy Niche Asians
I’m not actually sure what Crazy Rich Asians is, but this seemed like an obvious riff on it. I wrote down dozens of ridiculous possible hobbies for the caption including ‘Bolivian Basket Weaving’ and ‘Obscure Tartan Patterns’ before settling on these two, inspired...

The Stupid Pages 40: Nothing On TV Today
Was not easy to squeeze in the “a drawing every day” thing today. Had more insane plans for this NYT from a few days ago. The Sharpie is always magic. Well, maybe less so this time out. Don’t expect much for Sunday either.

This one was done the old fashion way with a Sharpie Pen on the back of a dinner receipt. Star Trek: Discovery Premieres September 24
Read moreThe Stupid Pages 38: It is My Pleasure to Make Your Acquaintance
First time using Tayasui Sketches Pro on an iPad Mini. Stylus is the cheapest one they sell in a two-pack on Amazon, and they are easily the best quality/value situation for that type of tool. Soundtrack: Here Come The Warm Jets by Brian Eno, which has just gotten the deluxe re-issue...

Read moreThe Stupid Pages 32: Survivor Dan’s Boots
Found in the archives. A Stupid Pages creation. The Survivor Dan portion was drawn by me. Survivor Dan was a very briefly lived character in Brown Cuts Neighbors TV shows and concerts. Although almost impossible to see here, I was wearing the obscenely heavy and hot costume at the left in this...
Read moreWow Cool @ 25 Tom Hart Comic Strip from 1988
Tom Hart did this strip and another one about zen for me when I was the comics editor at the School of Visual Arts newspaper – Canvas – way back in 1988. So, not technically a Wow Cool thing… also it’s a bit of an in-joke, but I think it works pretty well without that
Read moreWow Cool @ 25 – Slaughterhouse 90210
Sam Henderson drew this back when Beverly Hills 90210 was still pretty new. 20+ years later it’s relevant again! What a world! I don’t remember where – if anywhere – this was ever published before. Sam? I’ve started to dig into the old sketchbooks… some...

Git yr ass down to the Roxie in SF this weekend for the Mission-style glory that is Cine-Madness! Friday, March 23 – Sunday, March 25, the Roxie teams up with L.A.’s Cinefamily and Austin’s Alamo Draft House to present three nights of wrong and twisted viewing pleasures. Get all the...
Read moreThe Stupid Pages 31: Magic Number
Guest post by James Arsenault, done as a present to his sister. The pattern will become clear. Partly inspired by a little too much Schoolhouse Rock, in particular the audio CD “Math Rock”, which we are pretty sure has no connection to certain bands from a decade or so ago, largely...
Read moreThe Stupid Pages 30: King Andy Comics
Back in 1994, while on zine tour for Andy’s Chair #3, I crashed on John Porcellino’s couch when he was living in Denver, Colorado. Shortly after that, while still on the road, I did this strip, in a crude imitation of the King Cat style. It was printed in my tour zine puppydoglove...
