I’m pleased to announce my next comic: Labor and Love.

Labor and Love is a collection of 4 comics adapting classic folk ballads. I wrote all 4 stories and Neal Von Flue, a man who likes a good comic and a good folk song, drew them.
The comic contains adaptations of the songs:

The Wind and The Rain
The Wreck [...]

Our spring break is over! Split Lip returns on July 26th with a new story: A Mother’s Love, with art by David Hitchcock. I’ve previewed the story here:

The story is creature feature taking place in 1820s Massachusetts and Dave is killing it artwise with this one. I think you’re going [...]

Back in 2007, artist Neal Von Flue and I did a really fun, sad, creepy adaptation of the old folk ballad The Wind and The Rain for Split Lip.
As we did that, Neal and I discovered our shared love of old folk music (Neal’s even in a band that plays it!). As we talked about [...]

There’s a new interview with me up at GammaSquad that I want to point you guys to, if you’re interested.
It’s conducted by Lauren Davis, of Storming the Tower and Comic Book Guide to the Mission fame, and it’s one of my favorite interviews I’ve done. I think in this one I did my best job [...]

Last fall, I gave you a sneak peek of the script to A Mother’s Love, a story that was then still very embryonic. It had been written and was in the hands of artist Dave Hitchcock (Whitechapel Freak, Springheel Jack), but wasn’t yet being drawn.
I’m glad to be able to tell you that’s that changed. [...]

It’s spring break time again and we eager co-eds here at Split Lip are heading out to more tropical climes for a little while. While we’re gone, we won’t be updating the site, but when we get back to campus, we’ll not only have strings and strings of beads around our necks and luscious tans, [...]

As with last year’s Split Lip: The Harvestmen, this year’s edition—Termites In Your Smile—sports an awesome cover ace horror artist Shane Oakley.
Split Lip: Termites In Your Smile and other stories features the title story and seven others, as well as commentary by me on every story and behind the scenes material (pencils, script, etc.) for [...]

After a couple of years of hitting the convention scene pretty hard (two drives from Rhode Island to Maryland in the space of three weeks last fall was pretty intense, to say nothing of trips to NYC and Philly, too), in 2011 I’m going to be dialing back Split Lip’s convention presence a bit. As [...]

Hey everyone – hope you’re enjoying the Christmas/New Year’s intersession we’ve got going on right now. I sure am. Enough, in fact, that Christine Larsen and I are taking this week off from updating If You Get Close To Her, Kiss Her Once For Me.
Regularly scheduled updates will resume in 2011, at which point we’ll [...]
