Due to unforeseen events, I didn’t put up an All Day Pizza Buffet strip on Friday. Even though today is Labor Day, I’m now a man of leisure and had some spare time this holiday to doodle up a little strip.

Hey folks.
Last night, at a little before 8 p.m., I was let go from my job at Wizard Entertainment.
Since then, I have received an overwhelming amount of amazingly supportive, kind and flattering emails, Facebook messages and tweets from a ton of truly great people! Thank you all so much! I guess when the going gets tough, you really see how many wonderful people you’re surrounded with. I’m just grateful to be surrounded by so many.
Also, additional big thanks to Josh Wigler, Sean T. Collins, Mel Caylo, Kiel Phegley, all the fans over at the Wizard Universe Message Boards and the crew at Panels On Pages for voicing their support in the public forum, as well as privately.
TJ Dietsch—an extremely rad guy who was ToyFare‘s Associate Editor—was also laid off last night. Check out his blog at www.unitedmonkee.com and spread the love.
Again, thank you so much, everyone! The outpouring of support has been truly touching and has only helped my love grow for all my friends, colleagues and the comic industry as a whole. Thank you.

As I mentioned in the comments section of today’s regularly scheduled ADPB, I wasn’t satisfied with the freehand doodle I began the strip with. The Enemy of Peanuts is my creation and I don’t think I really connected (even for a doodle) on him. This was likely due to watching “The Wire” intently while doodling, but either way, the deficiency of that EoP urged me to doodle another short and—hopefully—sweet strip.

Popping an EoP “cameo” in ADPB was suggested by Josh Wigler, but I came up with all the comedic comedy and did the decent drawing. F. Y. I.

Ever since I saw the “Share Your Fan Art” button in the margin of the “Adventure Time” tumbleblog, I began plotting a super short comic strip to submit. I opted for a slightly crazed, Hulkin’ out Finn… and here it is!

So, I have many more theories about ’90s teen movies and my—as I’m explaining it’s not—”inexplicable” love for them. Here’s another…

As a fan—and fledgling contributor—to the sequential storytelling medium of comics, the potential that lies within the four-picture photo booth is definitely intriguing.
