I realized that I never put Dead Love online, so here's a little taste...no pun intended.

What is this well-dressed man-bear doing here?

2008-07-14T10:04:00.000-07:00

Hey!

With the completion of Evergreen; The Movie, I'm shifting gears. I'll be taking some time off from Evergreen so I can reevaluate the strip and decide what direction it's going to go in.

While I'm doing that I'll also be co-writing new episodes of Weirdlings with Colton McBryer. My run, which focuses on Paul (the bear-ish fellow above) starts today, with new installments every M-W-F. Veteran Weirdlings artist Barry Linck, creator of Phineus: Magician For Hire, is handling the art and I'm excited to see what he comes up with during my run.

So check out Weirdlings and look for the return of Evergreen coming soon.

Finally! The triumphant return of Evergreen: The Movie.

I know, I know, I've been waaaaay overdue in updating the strip. I could go on and make excuses about work, sickness, life in general, but really, who gives a crap? Just read and (hopefully) enjoy.

Pardon the interruption...

2008-04-24T09:23:00.000-07:00

I know it's been quite some time since I updated the comic, but I've been spending pretty much all of April getting ready for the Pittsburgh Comicon which is happening this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I'll be in Artist Alley promoting Evergreen along with my other comic book endeavor, Dead Love, which will probably find it's way online in the near future.

My fellow Strumhaus-ers, Brian, Wayne and Scott, will be there as well as Phineus: Magician for Hire's creator Barry Linck for a special Saturday only appearance. Byron Winton who does A Study in Horror and Misery will be in attendance under his alter-ego, Urbanite By Design.

Regular updates will resume after May 1st.

2008-03-07T21:49:00.000-08:00

At the urging of my comic book pals, I'm finally getting around to posting the big budget action-packed Evergreen story that I did for the 2007 24 Hour Comic Day. Funny thing is, I actually miscounted my pages during the wee hours and only ended up with a 22 page comic rather than a 24 page one. The cover is new though, not part of the original work done last year.

#62 Soda or Pop?

2007-08-28T05:02:00.000-07:00

While our break rooms at work have newer, fancier vending machines I found out about this old clunker of a drink machine in the basement. Initially I was surprised to find that there even was a basement, then after I recovered from that, I saw the Old Man there in the corner. It was like finding a time capsule.

I had to kick it old-school for today's strip, using basic programs MS Paint and MS Publisher, or as I like to call it "guerilla webcomics".

#59 Husky

2007-08-16T08:29:00.000-07:00

It's been quite a while since the last Evergreen, and for that I apologize. Over the past couple of weeks, life seemingly unloaded a dump truck full of various things at my doorstep that I had to wade through until I finally came to a point where I had a chance to catch up on my own stuff.

So what better way to return than with a visit from my buddy, ID4, and a childhood memory of clothes shopping. In the 80's, chubby kids like myself were subjected to the painful experience of shopping for clothes in the "Husky" section at department stores like Sears, and let me tell you, the salespeople at the time were not trained to be sensitive to little fatties like myself

#57 One Long Day

2007-07-20T19:44:00.000-07:00

I've been hella-busy this week and unfortunately the strip was put on the back burner. I do plan on getting both of this week's strips done this weekend, so keep yer eyes out.

#56 Aliens Hate Comic Books

2007-07-12T14:33:00.001-07:00

I have no reason to include the alien from Independence Day in today's strip other than I like drawing it. The alien, which will only be known as "ID4", may make more appearances in the future.

#55 Memoirs Of A Temp

2007-07-10T09:14:00.001-07:00

Now that I have a full-time job waiting for me, I started to reflect on my brief and uninspiring career as a temp. I've always heard that temping was great, but I didn't see it. My first temp assignment found me alone in the middle of a group of empty cubicles.

#54 Today We Celebrate Our Independence Day!

2007-07-04T00:14:00.000-07:00

This 50th strip, which is technically last Thursday's strip, goes out to our friend Mike B., whose bachelor party we attended this past Saturday night.

#49 It's Science

2007-06-22T22:12:00.001-07:00

My cousin's wedding was actually last weekend, but I decided to take this week off from doing strips. However, tonight I found myself jonesing for some drawing, so I think I'm probably going to catch up with strips #49 and 50, that way I'll be back on track next week.

#31 The Interview

2007-04-17T23:08:00.000-07:00

by Dan Greenwald

Watch out folks, it's a whole new format, starting with today's strip. I realized last week that I pretty much burned through my reserve of strips. Rather than drawing another dozen or so strips, I decided to do the next batch of strips in real time. Most of the original strips were drawn back in November and December of 2006. Months later, they didn't all seem as relevant to me as they did when first drawn.

Today's strip is a brief snippet of conversation I had with an inteviewer at a temp agency on Monday. Trust me, my job prospects with this agency are promising, but I still left thinking "I can't believe I said I could have had a job euthanizing animals."

On a totally unrelated note, am I a bad person for being less than excited with Drive? I don't think it's the show per se, but I'm getting tired of gimicky ensemble shows with an underlying mystery/conspiracy and lots of flashbacks. Lost is slowly losing me, I've written off Prison Break, The Nine barely made it out of the gate before getting the axe...Heroes is really the only show that I'm truly invested in.

A free Evergreen t-shirt goes out to the person who knows what late 70's/early 80's television show 'Regal Beagle' comes from. First person to leave a comment with the answer gets the swag.

#29 A Necessary Evil, Part 2

2007-04-10T07:41:00.000-07:00

Aside from late night excursions, I've also had my share of early morning shopping trips. This morning, for example, after dropping my wife off at work I stopped at Wal-Mart for a new printer/scanner for my studio workspace.
