FInally Back on Wednesday, This Week's Monster Patrol... and Introducing Punk and Willy!

Sorry for the last two weeks without a Monster Patrol update. I'm back and hope to continue to do so for as long as I can.

Meanwhile, I decided to release a strip which might seem a bit out of the ordinary compared to my other comics. Punk and Willy is a strip I've wanted to do for years (just ask my daughter Molly, if you see her). I'm having a great time doing it.

This strip will appear irregularly on this Blog, on Saturdays or Wednesdays... or maybe any other day of the week. I will post them as I get them done or upon getting a few done. I think this intro strip gives a hint of the kind of heartwarming family entertainment only someone who isn't above using dirty jokes and exhibiting infantile behavior could do.


As for this one strip, this is probably the only time I'll take a shot at them in a Newspaper Syndicate setting. I just wanted to do this joke to start the strip going. 

That's it for today. I'm glad I'm back here with strips. There's much more to come...

This Week's Creepsville Alongside Monster Patrol

Sorry for the tardiness of Monster Patrol this week, again. My plans to post new pages will continue to be Wednesdays, but this week had a number of health related obstacles that I had to deal with.

Since I'm talking about that, I thought I should also give you a heads up on what's going on here at The Laughing Reindeer.

I am still working on the Creepsville Collected book, but other factors have come into play that may delay that project a little longer than I anticipated. At this time, I plan on continuing to post pages from the original Creepsville series from this issue #1 through #4. #5 (the Halloween issue) has been posted before. The never published before issues must wait until the book. That doesn't mean I won't be creating new Creepsville material. After #4 (or maybe even before that point in time), I will be bringing back the online Creepsville comic strip, which carries on the tradition of having fun with those goofy old monster movies I love but is also in full color.

When this Monster Patrol story finishes up, I will be bringing back Agents of Peril, which will stay up until that first years-in-the-making story finally gets finished.

In addition, that teaser I posted of the mysterious "Fear Them" Punk and Willy paves the way for an ongoing irregular comic strip that I have always wanted to do. There will also be another strip, which I'll let you know about in the near future.

That's enough to keep me busy and off the streets at night for awhile.

A Healthy Morning Start With This Week's Creepsville... and What Is That Image About?

Just like last Wednesday, no Trivial Trivia this week, because I'm a bit under the weather. Having said that, I'll take a quick look at early 60s horror gem (or junk) The Crawling Hand next week. Meanwhile, what the heck is that thing down below? Oh, I know... but you probably guessed that. See you next time, while I call animal control.
