The goal of TRIP CITY was to [...]
Before Time Fucker: Time Fucker
Here we are at last, the final post in the Before Time F*cker series. Up until now, all of the hypothetical graphic novel proposals that I developed here never went any further than a cover image and maybe a synopsis. With Time F*cker, the creation of the proposal was so much fun and had so [...]

Before Time Fucker: Wonder Toe!
Had I only a smidgen of the “Happy Wonder of the Foot Wisdom”, I might have known better than to concoct a story and cover like Wonder Toe! But I didn’t and so we have another hypothetical graphic novel that is a translation of a hypothetical Japanese manga. The synopsis went like this: As a [...]
Before Time Fucker: Pep-Tide!
Welcome back to another installment of Before Time F*cker where I air out more creative dirty laundry in the form of ill-advised hypothetical book proposals. Pep-tide! began like most of these…with it’s title. I don’t know why exactly but the combination of ‘Pep’ connoting high school sports rallies and ‘tide’ suggesting a maritime location seemed [...]
Before Time Fucker: Wreck’d ‘Em!
A long while back I had the idea that I should develop my worst ideas into hypothetical book proposals. It was a personal challenge to treat questionable content as base matter for an alchemical transformation into comedic gold. I’m not sure the experiment was a complete success but it did yield some interesting illustrations and [...]
