New "Super Antics"...

...in MAD magazine #1! If you didn't already know, MAD has been somewhat revamped. I've got a few pages in it! I can't shared them all here, but I can give you the first few panels--

I'm pretty excited about this. I grew up in the boonies of Arkansas, and the only "culture" I saw was that in comic books, Sunday comic strips, and MAD. I honestly think elements from each of these influences show up in everything I do. When I was bored as a young kid, I would fold paper in half, staple it, and draw my own "Mad magazines". I think I might be able to find them. If so, I'll probably post a few here.

Until then, go buy a MAD #1. ON SALE NOW!

Urinals of the Justice League

I had a little free time to draw over the holidays. Sorry.

Marvel Hair Jokes!

It's Inktober!

Or so I'm told. That's when you ink something (everyday?) in the month of October. Well, I didn't do that. However, I did recently come across a page I had penciled in the late 90's. (?) I then thought it would be fun for Fifty-Something Kerry to ink Thirty-Something Kerry. So I did it! Here's the result--

I didn't spend much time on the color. It's Inktober, not Colortober.

Oh! Here's the pencils. I just had a bad xerox copy.

Super Antics #12

I like Aquaman, but I suspect this has happened at least once---

As always, if you curious to check my comics in long form, head over to Dirtnap Tales. This week, I hit page 100!

Super Antics #11

As I drew this, I started wondering, "Who was the first person to hide behind their own cape? "Dracula? The Shadow? Bull fighters? Is it a cliche from ancient times? Anybody out there know anything about it? 

As always, if you'd like to see more of my work, you can check out my web comic. It's starting to get a little crazy--!

Super Antics #10

I found this scribbled out. I had forgotten about it. So, I took a break from my web comic and drew it! Sorry. (Not for taking a break, but for creating this.)

A little Arnim Zola humor for your day.

Just because I wanted to draw it.

And if you're curious about my long form work, you can check out Dirtnap, my vampire/zombie/ghost web comic!

Super Antics #9

--And now, in an obviously ploy to get you to visit my webcomic, I've added a bonus panel at dirtnaptales.com. This panel occurred to me as I was drawing the page. Here it is without words--

Hmmm, what does it say? Anyone want to take a guess in the comments section before heading over to my web comic?

Super Antics #8

Even though I've recently started a new web comic, I can't stop myself from doing this kind of thing too--

Super Antics #7

Inspired by gun dodging in the 1950's Superman series.

Bullet Bouncing

I drew this because it makes my wife laugh.

Superman and the Car

The real story behind the cover of Action Comics #1 came to me in a dream. I, of course, had to draw it.

Yes, I know car alarms didn't exist in 1939. Don't ruin my fun.

Why Batman Doesn't Smile

My theory, anyhow.

Batman is a Hoarder!

I continue to work on my 160 page monster comic, but I took a break to draw something that's been in the back of my mind for a while. My friend Anna Maria Cool recently mentioned she suspected Batman was a hoarder. The seed was planted. I knew I wouldn't stop thinking about it until I drew something about it. I can stop thinking about it now. Click to enlarge.

 

Btw, the objects on the bottom of page 1 are all from actual Batman stories;  Detective Comics #244, Detective Comics  #235, Detective Comics #241, respectively. (Disrespectively?)

Super Antics #6

 On this page, I tried to up the ante a bit in creating an old comic look. Not only did I misregister the color, but I also added a faint image of a reverse comic page, which would show through the newsprint. Yep. This is how I amuse myself.

Super Antics #5

I know Batman has some crazy "official" reason for having a robot dinosaur in his Batcave, but I think the following is much more likely...

Super Antics #4

 I had some free time over Thanksgiving and realized I hadn't drawn a comic page in a while. So I did!

The girlfriend before Lois...

Super Antics video

I don't personally know Roy Kelly, but he has taken it upon himself to create a voice-over on one of my parody comics. He did a nice job. I enjoyed it and thought I'd share...

Super Antics #3

My commentary on the plight of super-speedsters. Click to enlarge.

What COULD have happened.
