Creative Exercise: Wrote a few dozen teenage misadventures that take place during the anti-climactic first day back to school. My favorite ideas couldn't possibly all take place during one day, so the timeline was adjusted to take in the first few days/first week of classes. (Dexter Comics Episodes 201-220)
Although the original Dexter Comics took place at Hellford High, I pretty much ran out of things to say about not needin' no education...
Years later, a brainstorming session unearthed all kinds of forgotten (yet unforgettable) moments from high school. Funny shit that people said and did. Some of it word for word... Other stuff was simplified to fit in a comic strip.
Either way, this is what I really learned in high school...

Dexter Comics 200
Never expected to see 200 episodes of Dexter Comics... But here they are. Inspired by James Bond, Star Wars, South Park, and life in general.
I'm fairly happy with most of the art. As always, part of me would re-draw a few episodes, but that's never been my M.O. I always figure if I'm gonna expend effort on anything, I might as well just make a completely new episode.
Got a bit lazy with most of the backgrounds, instead of making them more elaborate with hidden stuff like I normally do.
I guess since I haven't done this stuff in so long, I just wanted to get each panel finished, without getting discouraged by how much time it was taking to
Roll on
Fell into a groove while sketching and inking. Can't remember the last time that I got so absorbed with artwork that I didn't care what time it was. Takes me back to the good old days.
Sometimes it can be hard to find motivation... Motivation to start something in the first place, or even to finish it... But once that creative ball gets rolling, you don't want to let it stop.
Dreaming on Mushrooms...
Last night after playing Super Mario Bros 3, I woke up with vivid memories of unlocking the secret White Toad House in a dream.... Which is what I had been trying to do earlier in the evening.
Restless and unable to sleep, I figured I might as well go ahead and unlock the secret Toad House (containing a special powerup) by collecting virtually all the coins in the target level.
I proceeded to discover that with the updated graphics and textures in the Super Mario All-Stars version that I'm playing, they decided to make the secret Toad Houses blue in color... (view screenshots)
I don't mind the updated textures and backgrounds for the most
Lock NES Monsters...
Every once in a while, I like to dust off my old Nintendo systems, and play oldschool Mario on a rainy day... But I just happened to find a modified Wii with emulators already installed...
I decided to get Super Mario All-Stars (hence the Boo artwork in Scraps), and once again forgot how much fun those games can be! I don't care if the graphics are a far cry from what gaming systems can do today.
Figured I was just a weirdo, reluctant to evolve... But I'm finding to more and more people who've recently played their retro Nintendo/PlayStation games and re-lived their childhood favorites. It's just appreciating the foundation of what started
