Portrait of the Artist as a Young Neurotic

This quasi-autobiographical strip is same vintage as Gerry's Comix and Super-Cat. The "hang-up" (what a knowingly loaded double meaning for something done in the '70s) in the back is oddly self-pitying. I think this one might predate the others. The art isn't as good. It's from '75, again, though. The Jaws reference was very topical.

BTW, I'm posting all this old stuff, 1) because I find it interesting, and 2) I don't have any new stuff at the moment to share.

I like this one a lot. Some of it kinda reminds me of Peanuts.

These are wonderful! Please keep posting them!

By the way, the new novel release date must be drawing near. Looking forward to it.

Thanks. I don't have much more in the way of complete comics to post. Just two more. I might post one now, actually.

And yes, Pariah comes out in early August. I'm very excited. I think it's a very handsome jacket. Tor's done a bang-up job.
