Creator Comments: New Years is a time for looking back.  I looked back on my earlier comics and noticed that I've improved but not that much.  However today I was looking through my old comics that I did for my high school newspaper The Red Express.  This is my first comic that got published in something.  This is probably the beginning of all of "Your Face is a Comic" as we know it.

Well, actually I started in elementary school by copying old "Mutts" comics and making some of my own.  I honestly wish I could find some of my old bootleg Mutts.  Those must be hilarious (in ways they were never meant to be hilarious) and ancient.  I'm sure none of them exist anymore.  I haven't seen any of them for at least 5 years.

I also did a comic with my friend Daniel called "Cats 'n Hats." It was about these guys who owned cats...and their cats.  I know sounds like a possible web comic, right? (Pssst!  Web comics, you've just been insulted.)  I think we completed like 1 1/2 or 2 comics before we quit.  Yet, we still had dreams of having it made into a Nickelodeon show.

I also did an untitled one panel comic with my friend Paul.  It was about this drawing of an S with arms and legs and a joker hat named "S guy." (Yeah, like you were original in 5th grade).  This comic was actually really really cool.  I still think it's awesome.  My friend mailed me a copy he found like a few years ago.  It was amazing.  We would always have some vat of acid or Los Angeles tap water or something and S Guy and Heart Dude were always being tied from a rope and dangling over the vat.  There was a radioactive squirrel with laser vision.  The evil villain was named Q Guy.  He was a letter O with a cigar in his mouth.  It was always set in some elaborate warehouse with Luke's hand, Homer's doughnuts and various other things cluttered about the floor.  I'll post it up here sometime.  I know I saved one of the numerous comics and put it someplace safe but...where was it?

The thing with that one is that I made it with my friend Paul and he's one of those people with the Midas touch.  Everything he touches turns to awesome.  I'd say, if anyone, my friend Paul is the number one influence for .

I quit drawing when I got to middle school and didn't start again until I did this comic that I posted today.

So there's the prehistory of "Your Face Is a Comic."
