10. Six Gun Gorilla This might be cheating, because is he a cowboy? Well, the story is certainly a space western, the Gorilla wears a poncho, and has two six guns. So...yes? The uncertainty is the only reason he is number ten, and not actually every position on the list. Also he’s not a human?… Continue reading Top 10: Cowboys

Friday Review: Clan Apis
You might have gleamed it from the title, but Clan Apis is a comic all about bees. It's an educational story written and drawn by Jay Hosler, who has a Ph.D. and has worked with bees for many years, so the guy knows what he's talking about. Now, you might say to yourself, "Jordan, why are you… Continue reading Friday Review: Clan Apis
Movin’ On
As I announced last week on the website, my current project is over. You know, those one page gags I put out on Mondays. Yes, they're done. It's been a lot of fun, and I've learned a lot. But in my gut I knew it was time for something new. I've been working on a… Continue reading Movin’ On
Cartooning
When I was young, I had no concept of the cartoonist. Although, I'm sure I had no real understanding of how a comic was made. But even when I got older, I mostly thought of the creation of comics as several steps, done by different people. Now, this can be the case, true. But then… Continue reading Cartooning
Reading Comics
I know not everyone reads comics. I know not everyone gets comics. But being that it is 2017, I'm more than a little sick of people who don't consider reading comics to be reading. OK, let me back up a little, so I don't delve straight into stereotypical angry blogger mode. I work at a… Continue reading Reading Comics
What the Duck?! Avian Adventurers in Comics
Let me come out and say it: I can't resist a comic with a good duck in it. It's a bit niche, but I think everyone has something like that in comics (and believe me, it's not always so wholesome as ducks!) Over the last year I have been exposed to some really great comic… Continue reading What the Duck?! Avian Adventurers in Comics
Marysville Mini Con 2017
Mini Con was again a success! Thanks to everyone who came, and thanks to the library for the space. But most of all, thanks to the artists, vendors, performers and speakers. Below you'll find some photos of the day. Addie J. King My niece, and youngest fan, Penelope has the… Continue reading Marysville Mini Con 2017
Hot Cakes Comics at Wizard World Columbus
This past weekend was Wizard World Columbus. It is, I think, the biggest convention in Ohio. Wizard might some other shows around the state, but let's not get weighed down with specifics. I've been going to this comic con since I was 16 or 17, I think, back when it was still just Mid Ohio… Continue reading Hot Cakes Comics at Wizard World Columbus
Comic Book Collaboration
Collaboration is one of the biggest thing that drew me into working with comics. When I first started down this path, I thought to myself, "It will be nice not to work alone all the time." See, when I was in college, working on writing short stories, and one day a full novel, I learned… Continue reading Comic Book Collaboration
Time to Succeed
Recently, I turned 25. In the weeks that followed, I've had some pretty long reflection sessions and a few changes in attitude. I guess once you get smack into the middle of your 20s, things start to look different. Well, this prompted a longer than usual Facebook post from myself about time. That is, my… Continue reading Time to Succeed
