Another day, another dollar

Howdy gang, just sitting back and enjoying the payday stupor. It's kinda nice being paid on a Friday - all the rush of the past week is over, and now you have the weekend to kick back, maybe take a money bath or whatever.

What has Rick been up to...? Well, too much and not enough. I'm currently soft at work (as opposed to hard at work) on The Human Cannonball #4. It's a 28-page monster; it probably won't be ready for publication until mid-March, and then I've got to go right into #5 without a chance to catch my breath. I'm hoping to have #5 done for Motor City Con this year.

Yes, Blind Alley Comics will be at MCC '13, out there in the seedier section of Artist Alley. Look for two scruffy drunks whistling at the Slave Princess Leia cosplayers and hurling gin bottles. Friday will be spent huddled at our table, peering at the other booths in envy and self-comforting contempt; Saturday will see us cajoling and threatening passerby to take mounds of moldering comics off our hands; and by Sunday we'll be wandering around talking to other artists in a cheery, apathetic haze. Because who buys anything on Sunday, really? Sunday is for autographs, schmoozing and trading comics.

What else...? Oh, Bone Boy is getting his own website! Cheeky blighter. Joe and myself have worked out an arrangement with the fantastic Mr. Bran Wyndesor to develop our website. In exchange, we're designing critters for his RPG video game, Celtica Chronicles. The Bone Boy website will hopefully be a stepping-off point from which we can get the Blind Alley Comics website up and running. An actual website! Fancy that. Finally you'll be able to buy our titles online in digital or hard format. We'll keep prices reasonable, we promise.

What else, what else...? Gee, most of the stuff we're cooking up isn't past the mental stage. Be on the lookout for more updates; I'm going to try and write more for the blog, and post more pictures, but not right now. I have to go take a money bath.

Rick Out!

The Problem with Reconstructing Deinonychus

So as you may know, I am partly obsessed with dinosaurs. Scratch that - there's a small lobe of my brain devoted to dinosaurs. I love em, God help me. I even have a super-double-plus-top-secret dinosaur comic maybe in the works...but you didn't hear it from me. Anywho... Part of my problem is in the reconstruction of said prehistoric beasties, namely those icons of American dino-obsession, Deinonychus ( Velociraptor to you Jurassic Park aficionados...it's not just a Hollywood bastardization, there's a complicated story behind it which I covered in this old post ). Now, we all know what Deinonychus looked like: wolf-size, sleek, toothsome head balanced by a long tail, grasping front claws and of course the eponymous "terrible claw" on its hind foot. The shape is burned into our collective unconscious; you could construct the most fantastic amalgam of different bits and pieces, but as long as you include the sickle-claw, you're golden. The devil, of...

Artist Spotlight: Tom Eaton

I wanted to do a quick artist spotlight on Tom Eaton, best known for his work in Boy's Life Magazine. I used to have a subscription to Boy's Life when I was a kid; unfortunately I didn't keep any of them, as they just weren't...I don't know, not really worth keeping. I just remember it as being 90% toy advertisements, some "how to get along with others" advice, the same camping article reprinted 20 million times, and some half-funny comics. As the years went on, the advertisements got bigger and louder, the articles became less interesting, and the comics section got shorter and shorter. But there was one gem hidden in the midst of the mediocrity: artist Tom Eaton. He wrote and illustrated "The Wacky Adventures of Pedro" ( BL's burro mascot), "Dink & Duff", and myriad other comics, crossword puzzles, games, and short pieces. He was the magazine's resident cartoonist, and about the only reason I actually read the magazi...

Paleontology: The sailfin-water connection

Sails! Yes, I'm talking about the tall vertebral fins running across the backs of, most famously, Spinosaurus aegypticus and Dimetrodon ssp. These weird structures have driven paleobiologists crazy for years: what were they for? How did they work? What benefit did they impart to the creatures that used them? Two interpretations of Spinosaurus. From the excellent blog Mesozoic Archives. The picture is complicated by the fact that Dimetrodon and Spinosaurus could not have been further apart, taxonomically speaking: Dimetrodon was a synapsid - like mammals - while Spinosaurus and other dinosaurs belonged to the archosaur supergroup, like crocodiles. Their last common ancestor was some kind of primordial lizardy thing, and since then they had nothing to do with each other. They were also separated by 207 million years, which is three times as long as the span separating dinosaurs and us. Source: Wikimedia Taking an even broader view, things get weirder. Just after Di...
