Nice job! Unfortunately, if you’ve read this far through, there’s probably little chance of ever “unseeing” some of what you just saw. My apologies. And thank you!
Oh my! New T.I.P.S! w/ your hosts Mike and Alex!

A shocking announcement, and then the lads are joined in Panthers Lair by Mike’s old chum Gary Gretsky, whereupon they argue about a variety of things to humorous effect.

Last Month’s Next Week in NYC! Strips
I missed re-posting a whole slew of past week Next Week in NYC! strips from The Observer lately. What? You hadn’t noticed? Well no worries! Here’s a batch from April for you, still as fresh today as the day they were first slapped onto bristol. New strips appear each week in the paper and at The Observer online every Tuesday or Wednesday or so.

Thanks reading all they way through! If you’ve made it here, you can make it anywhere!
Behold THE INFINITE CORPSE, a jam comic started in secret over a year ago by Aaron Renier, Nate Beaty and the other cartoonists of Chicago’s comics collective Trubble Club. Based on a combination of Raw’s Narrative Corpse project and Scott McCloud’sidea of the “infinite canvas,” it’s a kind of exquisite corpse comic focused around the skeleton Corpsey. There are already 200+ cartoonists who’ve participated (Art Spiegelman, Alison Bechdel, Pen Ward, Carol Tyler, Ivan Brunetti, Lilli Carré etc etc etc) and now it is open to everyone. So go, read! Contribute! Be a part of this ground-breaking new project!

Double Cross #17
BLAST FROM THE PAST DEPT: Many years ago I contributed a short story to Tony Consiglio’s long-running mini-comic series Double Cross! Well, the folks at Birdcage Bottom books have managed to unearth some copies of this elusive treasure and made it available to you, the buying public!
Millions of people now live with the regret they never picked up Double Cross! during it’s original run. Do you want to join them in their sad, sleepless nights, tossing and turning at What Might’ve Been, or do you want to sit over here with us at the cool kids table? Don’t be a chump. You know what to do.
I’ve gone MAD!
I’m pleased to have officially joined the ranks of the Usual Gang of Idiots if one appearance in MAD is all it takes and I’m pretending it does. (All the work I’d previously done for them was for MAD KIDS magazine, which is not apparently not the same thing.) Anyway, I drew some pictures for the front end of this sucker. They are funny pictures. And now I can say I’ve at least visited the magazine pantheon of some of my greatest cartooning heroes.
How to handle a pleasure-eel, news about Cher’s untimely demise, This Is 40 ought to have been titled This Is Mike’s Least Favorite Movie of the Recent Past, vice-Mayoral antics, and those darn Dukes of Smyrna County are at it again!!

Next Week in NYC! #06
Here is the strip from the April, 1 2013-ish issue of The Observer. New strips magically appear there every Wednesday!
I’m sorry I can’t figure how to get Tumblr to display a larger image. If you’re near-blind like me and would actually like to be able to read the words in these strips, please check them out at my totally redundant WP blog.
Next Week in NYC! #05
There’s too much even I can’t explain in this one, from the 3/18 (I think) issue of The Observer. An all-new strip appears in the paper as well as online there every Wednesday.
Next Week in NYC! #04
I can’t keep up with what’s what or when so I’m just going with numbers from now on. So, just in case you missed it, here’s the fourth installment of Next Week in NYC as originally seen in 3/10 issue of The Observer. A new NWinNYC strip appears online there every Wednesday.
Hey, if you have been enjoying the Bona pages or are a fan of my comics, please help me spread the word about my new minicomic. I’m not much for beating the drums and I’d really appreciate a reblog or tweet or whatever, tell a friend if you think they would be interested, etc. It helps me out a lot. Thanks.The Half Men
A new mini from my favorite cartoonist. That’s something!
Two-Weeks-Ago-Last-Thursday’s Next Week in NYC! Strip
Or something… Three weeks in and the name of my own strip already has me totally confused. Anyway, this one appeared in the March 11 print edition of The Observer which was, like, a couple of weeks ago… but it’s supposedly about the following week, I think, which is last week but I’m posting it here this week… and then there’s another all-new strip appearing later this week (Wednesday) here at The Observer. Or something… Ow. This is making my head hurt.
