It's All A Nerd Emergency!

I made a wee bitty poster announcing the launch of the Nerd Emergencies comix anthology. Cheaper than a share of SpaceX. Not only is it about neurodiversity, it has a signifigant percentage of LBGTQIA+ creators. Pride and stuff. kickstarter.partlyrobot.com #comix #neurodivergent #neuroqueer

It's been too long since I did a "Whatever Happened to Monkey Skull?" panel. Page 9, panel 7. #comix

Image Description: Booger Bear with word balloon. "It's been linked to everything from auditory hallucinations to Congenital Tylenol Exposure to Irritable Bear Syndrome."
Overlaid with "watermark" tag and "A.I. Slop is Slavery" tag.

Finally another Monkey Skull panel. What's the hold up? Don't ask. Or do ask. Short answer: I've got like 5x more work to do to finish up the "Nerd Emergencies" anthology than I thought I did. Also, the complications of being a toddler parent.

Comic panel with Booger Bear staring right through the fourth wall. In a word balloon he says: "Oh, yeah. Studies have show that too much Kirby Krackle can cause all kinds of things."

Starting Monday with some naïve watercolor comix making. Image descripition: Seated profile of a middle aged white man facing a desktop computer monitor. A word ballon says "But Where to begin?"

Andrew Coltrin@partlyrobot· Apr 16

Don't worry. I'm still working on stuff. So much stuff! Here's a piece I'm doing to show how I'll do stuff even when it scares me.

Photo of a randomly painted piece of watercolor paper. The following words are written in black ink. "To be clear, I'm not afraid of colors themselves. I'm afraid of using color badly. I'm afraid of my own ignorance." There is also a little scrap of paper with the word "watermark" laid on top of the composition.

I'm struggling with working up the executive function to go to the gym. But I read somewhere in a book I wrote that exercise can be helpful for ADHDers in all kinds of areas, including executive function. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mic...

Tryng to get back into the swing of a panel a day.

Comix panel with Monkey Skull and Podcast Ben. MS says "It's no mistakr, Benny boy. You're a winner."
Ben says "I really don't see how."

What is going on? What the hell is going on? These are from yesterday's HHS video, not from the Epstein Files, if you can believe it.

Two panels. Yesterday and today. "Who run Barter Town?" Analogue watermark to mess with the pirates and scraper bots. #comix #PanelADay

Two comix panel:
Panel One, a grinning Monkey Skull asks:
"Booger Bear, for all the marbles, can you answer me this?"
Panel Two, Booger Bear on the left, Monkey Skull on the right from the rear.
Monkey Skull says: "WHO RUN BARTER TOWN?"

Andrew Coltrin@partlyrobot· Jan 20

Everything's so heavy. Monkey Skull had to break character for a minute. #comix #PanelADay

Comix panel featuring the skeletal fo of Monkey Skull.
He says: "I'm struggling right now. I want to be productive. I want to spread knowledge, whimsy, and joy.
I want to be useful.

Andrew Coltrin@partlyrobot· Jan 15

Did this panel without a photo reference. Kind of messed up and made Polo Shirt Ben look happy. Was it wishful thinking? #comix #PanelADay

Comics Panel with Polo Shirt Ben, a white guy with short hair and glasses wearing a polo shirt. A meowing cat sits on Ben's shoulder.
Word balloon: "Long time, no see!"

A vaguely familiar new player has entered the trivial discourse at the Stygian Lamplighter! #comix #PanelADay #KeepMakingArt

Comix Panel with Drew, Booger Bear, and a new character, Polo Shirt Ben.
Drew: "Yikes! There's so much drama here."
Booger Bear: "Too much drama."
Polo Shirt Ben: "Oh, hey guys."

Andrew Coltrin@partlyrobot· Jan 12

And Monkey Skull's back. Not super happy with the lettering. Switched nibs mid word balloon and, oh well. Gotta keep moving, though.

Comix panel with Monkey Skull character.
Monkey Skull says:
"Hey, now. No need for shame. Just take it down a notch and we're good. And maybe do some square breathing."

Andrew Coltrin@partlyrobot· Jan 8

Monkey Skull has a bone to pick

Comix panel with Monkey Skull in the background, finger raised. Drew is in yhe foreground, pencil in hand.
Monkey Skull says: "Drew, You haven't drawn me at all this year!"
Drew says, "uh... It's only January. Gimme a minute."

Today Faith Harper gave me an idea for a new revenue stream: Neurodivergence Peer Confirmation Consultation. So far all I've really done to get it going is this Charles Schulz fan art. Baby steps.

Comix panel in the style of Charles Schulz's Peanuts. A Peanuts-style Booger Bear sits at a lemonade stand with the sign reading: "Neurodivergence Peer Confirmation 5,000¢" on top. Below the opening it reads "The guy with a B.A. in Creative Writing is [out]"
Thought ballons read: "When is Drew gonna get back? I'm not qualified to confirm anything!"

Been a few days since I sat down with a pencil. Don't worry. It's just holiday family busy time. Not existential ennui. Here's a little guy to lift our spirits, Chet, the Littlest Sasquatch! Maybe he'll end up on a coffee mug, or something.

Pencil drawing of a short statured bigfoot smiling with hand raised.

Andrew Coltrin@partlyrobot· Dec 22

Just drawing little guys

Drawing of several whimsical creatures: a frogoid, a karaoke gremlin, a worm reading a book, and a fish with legs. A phantom Monkey Skull shows through from the page beneath.

Andrew Coltrin@partlyrobot· Dec 18

I did a panel today! Monkey Skull continues!

Comix panel with totally bald Discount Moby in a pose reminiscent of the foreground figure in Münch's "The Scream." Hairy Earl is next to him trying to tear his beard out.
Discount Moby: "Not the Tot Tax!"
Hairy Earl: "We are sore ashamed!"

Andrew Coltrin@partlyrobot· Dec 16

Oh... habits... how to have good habits... when everything's busy and it's December. Have a happy December-time, if you can.

Comix panel with Booger Bear and Drew. Booger Bear has his hands up in a quizzical expression.
"Drew, what happened to that panel-a-day streak we had?"
Drew, crouched over a laptop computer:
"umm... not now. I got a deadline for a paying gig."

Andrew Coltrin@partlyrobot· Dec 9

Bonus Panel! A little sidebar from the Monkey Skull’s narrative. Also, procrastinating from editing the ADHD book. More to come on that! #potato

Comix panel of Booger Bear, wearing a turtleneck sweater and holding a tater tots.
Word balloon:
“RELAX, IDAHO! I’m not really allergic to tater tots. But I will say just about anything to avoid being body-snatched by a trivia cult!”

Andrew Coltrin@partlyrobot· Dec 9

Monkey Skull continues to have none of Hairy Earl and Discount Moby’s shenanigans. A penalty is exacted! #comix

Comix panel of Monkey Skull’s hand grabbing tater tots from the basket on Hairy Earl and Discount Moby’s table.
Word balloon:
“And I’m taking a Tot Tax!”

Andrew Coltrin@partlyrobot· Dec 8

Oh boy. December is the season for crashing my social battery and needing extra recovery time. So, a couple days late, but here’s a Monkey Skull panel. #comix

Comix panel with Monkey Skull saying:
“Hairy Earl and Discount Moby.”
“Settle down, or I’m going to have to disqualify you guys… again.”

Andrew Coltrin@partlyrobot· Dec 5

Hairy Earl is having none of it. “Whatever Happened to Monkey Skull” continues… #comix
