Comic Book Haters Indie Spotlight: Shannon Smith from The Comic Book Haters on Vimeo.
Four of my minicomics are featured on the latest episode of The Comic Book Haters Indie Spotlight Video Podcast. They have a mixed reaction to the comics which is to be expected because the four minis I sent in have almost nothing in common with each other. Not sure what I was thinking. I think I just sent in what I had with me at that moment. I realized when they held it up to the camera that the copy of Brush & Pen I sent was a misprint. Oh well. Blame my agent. Doh! I am my agent. Schooly G seemed to like Brush & Pen and I Killed Rock N' Roll. They all seemed to like Phillip. I think they respected the stuff overall and they used the term "hardcore indie" a few times so I'm cool with that. It is a very unique review format because it is really just three guys talkin' 'bout comics and they may or may not have read them so you get that first gut reaction, which is pretty cool. Check it out for yourself. Warning! They exercise their rights as Americans to use dirty words.
If you want to buy some of the books and the pay pal buttons don't work, just email me. I've got some new books to add to the shop and I need to fix some of the old buttons. I have a new third edition of Brush & Pen available but it is not in the store yet. You can just email if you want it. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll get it fixed soon.

Your best pal ever,

Phillip Henry 2 Reviewed by Optical Sloth

Thanks to Whitey at Optical Sloth for reading my comix and posting this nice review.

Now come on, isn't that just about the best cover you've ever seen? It's even better once you read the story and it's really not even meant to be salacious. OK, it's meant to be slightly salacious, granted. But this is the story of a boy named Phillip, who gets in trouble in third grade and doesn't come back to the school of the narrator (presumably Shannon) until sixth grade. At that time this perennial troublemaker hasn't had much of a change of heart of his previous and now he's dealing with the onset of puberty. I don' want to give the whole thing away, as this is only a 4 page shortie (and you're already seeing half of it in samples) but it's funny and only a quarter, so who can beat that?

Whitey describes the comic better than I could and yes, I am the narrator (and the kid who gets the wedgie). To order this or any of my other comics, just click the Buy Comics button on the right.

Your best pal ever,

Phillip Henry Strikes Again

I've posted a new adventure of Phillip Henry on my Free Comix page for your intro-net enjoyment. If the comic looks too small to read on your monitor, just ckick on it for a larger image.

Tony Millionaire reads Phillip Henry

Tony Millionaire, author of Maakies, Sock Monkey and my favorite Jar Jar Binks story ever... was kind enough to send a note about the Phillip Henry comic I did. Tony writes, "I love the Phillip Henry story! The clunky art goes well with school stories, makes it seem more real, like somebody you knew in school drew it."
