my dad’s sketchbook
Yesterday I fished out my dad’s old sketchbook because I needed a reference image for a comic I’m working on. The comic is an autobio thing that involves, among other things, the fact that I’d copy images from my dad’s sketchbook over and over. The images are burned into my brain and I could probably draw most of them from memory.
These drawings are over fifty years old now.
Reich 5
here’s the cover for Reich #5. it should be out soon.
ten things I’ll miss when summer’s gone.
- don’t have to dry off after a shower.
- low electric bill.
- naked day.
- everyone understands when you sweat too much ’cause everyone’s sweating too much.
- my cat doesn’t sleep on my chest at night to keep warm.
- listening to surf music and not feeling like it’s somehow ironic.
- complaining about the heat.
- it smells nice when people barbecue.
- insects.
- scantily clad ladies riding bicycles.
punched in the gut

I’m hoping this will start a trend of cartoonists and people I know drawing themselves punching me in the stomach.

“Orgone energy is primordial life energy that effects physical, biological, and psychological systems. It is a fundamental, creative life force that is known well by those in touch with nature. Orgone is referred to as “universal ether” by natural scientists, and is also used by acupuncturists. Wilhelm Reich first objectified, discovered, and demonstrated Orgone Energy in the 1930s.”
