This is the first comic I’ve drawn since June last year. Pretty sad huh. I’m liking how it turned out though. I don’t know what to call these but they’re the first slice of life comics I’ve done I think. Each will be one page long. I have several captured already, but this is the first complete. I’m guessing most will revolve around domestic life, maybe work. Anyway c & c welcome.
It’s in the 80’s today.

Oh heart green acre sown with salt
by the departing occupier
lay down your gallant spears of wheat
Salt of the earth each stellar pinch
flung in blind defiance backwards
now takes its toll Up from his quieted
quarry the lover colder and wiser
hauling himself finds the world turning
toys triumphs toxins into
this vast facility the living come
dearest to die in How did it happen
In bright alternation minutely mirrored
Within the thinking of each and every
mortal creature halves of a clue
approach the earthlinghts Morning star
evening star salt of the sky
First the grave dissolving into dawn
then the crucial recrystallizing
from the inmost depths of clear dark blue
An Upward Look By James Merrill
Better late than never I guess, apologies this took so long to put up.
An Upward Look was our (Jefferson, Laura, Hannah, and myself) entry to the Chicago Hole Competition “MINE THE GAP” which won an honorable mention. The content consisted of the two boards above, you can click them to enlarge if you want to see some of the detail, or at least as much as a online image can offer. I hope you enjoy.
AWESOMENESSSSS
what is happening to hannah in the last square? is that her overcome by your love, transformed from super angry to super stoked about getting married in a pyramid?
and also, probably more curious if you did have any luck finding a girl on the internet who wants to get married in a pyramid? you should try craigslist. it’s a modern bottomless pit.
is this an artificial pyramid?? built in the bushwick fringe out of plastic milk jugs with a cereal box floor. i don’t know what this cereal + marriage interest is but it could be a great theme!
missin the 80’s in nyc.
liking the comic dave. you always use that color so well.
so are these slices of life true to life? i’ve never seen hannah that color. (not saying much)

I haven’t done any comics in a long time, since I decided to taking acting more seriously… I wish I had finished learning to draw before I quit, so I could just randomly bang one out from time to time, haha.
[…] two, which were pretty rushed. But not bad considering I haven’t drawn a comic since that internet one. I sort of did the Lebbeus Woods thing where all the text is at the beginning and only images […]
