So, you thought I just drew single panel gag strips, eh? Well think again.

Here are a selection of comic pages that I’ve created over the years. A big influence on a lot of these pages was the British humor comic book Viz.

NEW

Fred Dog

Circa 1991

Fred Dog is an unwitting passenger on a space flight that goes horribly wrong… but not for him.

Peanuts on Elm Street

Circa 1989

I really love Peanuts and I think Charles Schulz is one of the greatest cartoonists ever (rest in peace). I did this parody for Apathy in 1989 to poke fun at the seemingly endless number of slasher films that were coming out around that time. I also did a parody on Hagar the Horrible, but that’s another story…

Fred Dog

Circa 1990

I called this one “Ruff Justice” after I wrote and drew it.

Fred Dog

Circa 1990

Fred is made the plaything of an obnoxious kid. But things work out in the end.

Fred Dog

Circa 1990

Fred takes on Television Evangelists. More social satire featuring your favorite four legged furry toon.

Fred Dog

Circa 1989

This marks the start of the Fred Dog social satire period. Don’t worry, it doesn’t last long J In 1989 I was actually living the yuppy lifestyle, working at a telecommunications company, raking in big bucks and leaving a shallow life. If it wasn’t for cartoons, where would I be today???

Fred Dog

Circa 1989

The first (and only) Fred Dog two pager. This strip reflects a departure from the dark themes of the previous strips. These original Fred Dogs were all published in a local Brisbane based fanzine called APAthy. Many of the participants in APAthy have since gone on to great things. Hugh Fleming did the covers for the Phantom Menace comic books and has his own poster production company.

Pay him a visit and buy one of his ultra cool Star Trek super posters!

Beelzebubby

Circa 1990

Beelzebubby is the first devil child comic I did.

He’s the spiritual precursor to Devil Boy. This was probably inspired by my Catholic upbringing. I was taught by nuns, and some of them were actually cool. Sister Dorothy in particular had a knee injury that she got from a surfing accident!

Fred Dog

Circa 1989

From the Fred Dog Darkives… this one probably hits the bottom of the barrel. Things get a little lighter for Fred Dog after this strip; the next one has beach balls, babies and a happy ending!

Fred Dog

Circa 1989.

In this second ever Fred Dog strip the style starts to come together.

This one continues the dark themes of the first strip and continues down that dark path with the next one. When I drew this I was stuck in a dead end job that I hated. These strips reflect the foul mood I was in at the time. After leaving my job the tone of Fred Dog changes dramatically as you will see.

Devil Boy

Circa 1993.

Devil Boy appeared in a local small press comic book called Totally Wicked, created and edited by Tonia Walden and myself.

Fred Dog

Circa 1989.

This is the first Fred Dog comic strip I ever drew.

When I first drew this strip I didn’t realize how dark it was. The initial focus of the strip was on Fred being oblivious to the horrible things that were happening around him. In later strips the dark edge was dulled.
