...Once again, a public library has been sued for gently asking a patron to leave because his body odor was provoking complaints. George Stillman, 80, filed a $5.5 million lawsuit in October against the New York Public Library for feeling "humiliat(ed)" by the staff of the St. Agnes branch in Manhattan. Stillman said he views body odor (his and others') as mere "challenge(s) to the senses" and "a fact of life in the city." Actually, he had also denied that he had any body odor at all, but a New York Post reporter, interviewing him about the lawsuit, said she noted "a strong odor."
Jesus: Dang, yo. Ain't dat some dumb kracka-whack?
Lil' D: Fool need a bath.
Jesus: Ain't dat straight! That's it fo' dis week. Stay smoove and PEACE!
Where Have we Been?
Where the heck have we been? Okay, let's be honest. Life happens. I'm not going to get into all the excuses about losing track of this blog, hidden somewhere in the shadows of the deep end of the nets, so I'll just answer the above question with a question of my own: Just where the heck have you people been while Gary and I toil away on our very first book "JOSEPH! The Family Album" ? Ah, forget it. I can't stay mad at you.
Briefly, let me inform you as to what this book is all about...
Joseph Carpenter is an independent contractor living in middle America. But when God told him to raise his one and only begotten son Joseph’s life was turned upside down. Now he’s the adoptive father of a very modern-day fourteen year old Jesus who loves everything Joseph hates. Life at home is tenuous. His wife Mary is never anywhere to be seen, his ten year old daughter Ruthie is always getting everything she wants, he’s always telling his son “no miracles” and the boy’s best friend is the son of the Devil! One weekend Joseph recruits Jesus to help make preparations for his sister’s birthday party. Jesus is not fond of clowns. They’re evil. When Ruthie’s clown completely destroys her party Jesus takes it personal and a miracle goes wrong that could bring about the wrath of Hell. Now the future savior of all Humanity must set about correcting his mistake, all for the sake of a little sister he doesn’t even like. But every 14 year old has got to suffer his growing pains. Even Jesus.
This is a beautiful book, if I do say so myself. 68 pages, full color, measuring a very appropriate 8x10 to compliment its title. Below you will notice previous posts archiving every page to 50, which is where we are currently in production. As things are getting back to normal I will now continue to post each page individually as it is completed. In the future I plan to post archives of our previous strips, most of which were published at InvestComics, including our very first 24 b/w strip submitted to King Features!
