A single-panel color comic by Madscott (madscottcomic.com), rendered in a muted gray and pop-art halftone style with colorful characters. A large purple blob-like alien lies on the ground holding a smoking pistol, grinning slyly. Smoke billows dramatically in the background. Facing it is a small, round blue alien with a single large yellow eye, two yellow horns, fanged smile, and hands confidently on its hips — apparently unfazed. The purple alien's speech bubble reads: "I can't believe they always fall for that 'we come in peace' line if B.S." A caption box at the bottom reads: "Hint: It was never going to be a fair fight." The comic plays on the classic sci-fi trope of deceptive alien first contact, with the twist that the seemingly more menacing alien has clearly come off worse in the encounter.

Stop assuming this will be fair. It was never going to be fair.

While you’re waiting

I’m in something of a frantic prep-mode for Fall Comicon. I have comics to scan and post but I have put that on hold so I can get some neat stuff done for the show. I’m going a slightly different direction from previous shows. I’ve scrapped some of the fan art I had (outside of sketch cards) and am putting out more of my art. As such this years book marks look more like this. fallcon_bookmarks

Voice of Reason

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Scott
For future reference, it’s not impossible that I may be the voice of reason, but if you ask me for ideas on what’s reasonable I will almost always suggest some combination of the following.
  1. Get pizza instead.
  2. Maybe limit the number of fingers you might lose to one.
  3. If the fire only takes off hair then it’s not a big enough fire.
  4. You are only going too fast if you also need to turn. If no turning is needed keep going forward.
  5. An angry bear is only dangerous to people to proud to trip a friend
  6. You can put your boots in the oven but that don’t make ’em biscuits
  7. If you can’t solve a problem with a hammer you clearly need a bigger hammer

Aug. Addition of the state of things

Posted on August 10, 2016 by Scott
It’s been too long and the pile of comics I need to scan keeps growing. I’ve been posting some photos of them over on the facebook page and on instagram but I want to get clean versions posted here. I am also in the process of signing up for a few shows and will put up a list once I get a confirmation. I believe I will be doing a couple of traditional craft shows as well as a couple comic shows. ** I’ll post again soon

I stumbled into some cool little bags and decided to try them out as dice bags. If you see me at MSPComicon you have a shot of buying one. dice_bag
