A copy of my 2017 collection of "improv comics". Each self-contained strip started as a blank 8" x 5" notecard, and with no pre-thought or pencilling, I created a completed comic in 10-15 minutes armed only with a Sharpie and a white paint pen.

A copy of my October 2020 collection of "improv comics"...this time with a twist! All the strips were created using a white paint pen (and sometimes supplemented with a bottle of Pro-White and a brush) on black poster paper, creating a unique look and feel to the artwork. There was no pre-planning for most of these but I did come in with some ideas in my head for some. I did a short series of political cartoons for the first time since I was in college and the title of the book comes from a 37 page improvised story I created just for the book. This book was started a few months before the Covid pandemic hit, but really picked up steam after the lockdown with more than 95% of the art completed after March 2020 and before it's publication.

6" x 9", black & white interior with heavy stock color covers, 202 pages.

Commission your very own Official Tales From the Dougside Improv Comics original! I will create, just for you, or a loved one, or someone you don't really care for, an original improvised comic strip, just like the ones you've seen in my books Pocketful of Crime, The Dregs of Crime, or the Nefarious Nomenclature of Norman NiggleBottom! Each commission piece will measure 8" x 5" and can either be a complete and truly original comic strip, or you can supply a prompt of some sort if you'd like. I'm game for most anything.
