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 [...]

There will be a few big announcements you’ll not want to miss!

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 [...]

Time Fucker in “I’m Taking this LAYING DOWN!”
Well, here it is in it’s completed form…all 31 pages of, um,…well, let’s just say 31 pages of pure comedy gold, shall we? Yes, I thought you’d see it my way. As a little treat, I’m going to let you in on some of the ‘extras’ that have informed the making of “I’m Taking this [...]
Time Fucker in: “I’m Taking this Laying Down!” Part 4
You did it! Give yourself a pat on the back for having made it to the end. You now stand at the threshold beyond which others feared to tread…the ‘explosive’ ending of Time Fucker. It’s true. I’ve asked friends and collaborators about this and some admitted they couldn’t take it. Some couldn’t even make it [...]
Time Fucker in: “I’m Taking this Laying Down!” Part 3
As I write this post, the endlessly charming local high school students are getting out and among their usual rabble a voice pierces the noise; “Yo, I fuck yo muthah!” “Yo, I fuck yo muthah!” To recap from last week’s update: Salvatore’s Ghesboro’s plan to Time Fuck his brother, Dick, out of existence has had [...]
Time Fucker in: “I’m Taking this LAYING DOWN!” Part 2
Thanks for returning for the second installment of Time Fucker in “I’m Taking this Laying Down!” If you have yet to read Part 1, you can read it here. Last week our hero, Salvatore Ghesboro, had begun to put his plan into action. The time was right to go back in time on Thomas Edison’s [...]
