Cobbles pried free to build rough walls
and decrepit wastrel shelters,
yet this is a wealthy world still,
heaving its blood-soaked treasures
at their silken feet - they are here now,
the faces of civilization, and oh how
we fallen fallen fools yearn to be among them,
fellow feasters at the bottomless trough.

From this civil strait I would run, and run -
if only I had not fought,
defending that mindless devourer of tomorrow.
If only I had legs---

So watch them pass, beneath their parasols.
The starving multitudes are growing,
sullen, now eyeing me in their avid hunger.
I would run, yes, if only I had legs.

"A name.
I recognise that name.
It was at the center of some ticker tape parade.
The lead story,
a fine example.
A name, a name.

A name.
I recognise that name.
It was at the center of some magnifying glass,
the lead story,
a fine example.
A name, a name.

He used to pretend he was fighting some war somewhere.
Now everything depends on fighting some war.
He never thought he'd be an exclamation point,
a demonstration of his disease,
a punctuation mark,
a household name with HIV.

Still, it's just still sound."


If you've ever loved music as a basic instinct, listen to Fugazi.

I've realized that I'm more scared of people knowing me, than knowing people.
I've realized that I'm more scared of people seeing me, than I am of seeing people.
I'm scared of being like them. I'm scared that I'm not like them. I’ve realized that I don't know what I want.
No one should see it, lest they take advantage. I'm scared, too scared to be who I want to be, because I want to be that person.
I'm frightened for my life.
What does it mean?
I've never felt accepted, or wanted in the past. I'm delighted by every person who shows interest.
I've been self-diagnosed and self-medicated for far too long.
What comes next?

I hope some people with a little artistic skill and a sense of humour similar to mine are still reading this...
I'm looking for someone to help me revamp my old comics and collaborate with me on new ones.
I know its been a while since I put up the first 4 strips but I guess they've always been in the back of my mind and I'd like to continue writing them. I currently have 6 or 8 new ones lined up, they just need some finishing touches.
Let me know if you plan on helping and send me some revamped material from the old ones so I can choose who I would most like to work with (maybe more than one).
You can check out the old ones here:

1. Enter Frank
2. Curious George
3. Digging for Trash
4. Cats and Sparkles
