Here’s another angle to digital comics that I think has been ignored or under-explored. While everyone else explores the economic factor ad nauseum, there’s a bigger consideration. One of the … Continue reading

Hey, you mugs! It’s another Thursday afternoon and I’m after a moon that makes me moan! Any pics of gorgeous glutes from Kim K, Jay-Lo, Nicki Minaj, Eva Longoria, send ‘em my way. But in the meantime, I’m here to answer YOUR email requests of information, enlightenment and advice. Let’s get to it. … Continue reading

Contents ©2012 Mike Pascale. All pictures copyright their respective owners. I’m neck-deep in storyboards for the next couple weeks, so the next few columns will be short. Appropriate for any discussion of a new year is new formats. Comics are no stranger to this, as there are not only Web comics and Kindle comic editions … Continue reading

Wow, where did the time go? Seems like 2011 was just a couple weeks ago. Oh yeah, it was. Now we only have 49 weeks till the world ends! Even worse, about 45 weeks till the stupid Presidential election. Wouldn’t that suck if you were elected and then the world blew up before you … Continue reading

Okay, welcome to part two of two regarding the new/leap year. While last week we focused on last year, this week is for this year (how grammatically synergistic can ya get?) We’ve all been bombarded with plenty of Mayan calendar/Nostril-damn-us boom ‘n’ doom overkill as well as the upcoming Prez election, so I won’t bother. … Continue reading
Happy week after New Year’s, my babes and brawn! It’s the week after the last holiday of “holiday season”, when everyone is supposed to be back and work and getting crap done–but most are still off physically or mentally, so not much gets done this week either. No problem, as it gives you folks a … Continue reading

Well, goodbye (and in many ways good riddance) to 2011! Hello to 2000-plus-a-dozen, aka 2012, aka Year That Time Ended. Or something like that. I hope you and yours had fun and stayed safe for the big party night (and college bowl day). There are a couple ways I like to have fun on New … Continue reading
Yep…no specific topic, just my favorite things of 2011. Hey, it’s my website I’ll do what I want. :) In no particular order… 1) I love Wednesday’s Heroes. I really do. I love the guys. I love their art. I love helping artists – even if it’s just … Continue reading
Happy week after Christmas, kiddos and kiddies! It’s the week when nothing much gets done other than prepping for betting on bowl games and deciding what New Year’s parties to get drunk at and who to regret sleeping with the day after. In other words, “it’s the most wonderful time of the year!” And I’m … Continue reading
Howdy! Hope every one of you had a merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah week. Or whatever you celebrated that didn’t involve anything illegal. As mentioned in last year’s final blog, every morning I write down three things for which I’m thankful. I keep a pad and pen next to the bed and write them upon … Continue reading
It’s holiday season central here at Beer Abby. Merry Christmas to all my Christian pals! Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish buds! Happy Kwanzaa to all my NAACP peeps! And happy Winter Solstice to all my friends with two-seater Pontiacs! It’s me, Santa Bru, bringing you all kinds of goodies to the good little boys … Continue reading
This is getting morbid. No sooner did I write about Jerry Robinson’s passing as an “alarming trend of late”, did I learn about the passing of yet another great, Joe Simon (as well as Eduardo Baretto, with whose work I’m sadly unfamiliar. I hope to rectify that next year). Just like Jerry, Joe had a … Continue reading
