ESCAPE FROM BUPROPION #1-3

#1

"wrote this comic one panel at a time on index cards in the box office where I work after I lost my anti-depressant medication somewhere in my room. Starts basically as autobio but then I go to the Anthology Film Archives and weird people start showing up all of whom I fight physically.

40pgs. b/w riso printed ;) This is the first comic I printed and assembled myself, top to bottom"

#2

"wrote this comic one panel at a time on index cards in my tiny bedroom in Ridgewood Queens as covid lockdown was ending. At the time Dog Biscuits was a huge hit and instagram briefly clicked as a way to independently serialize alternative comics. This one was about me dying after the events of EFB 1 and striking a bargain with the devil that I get one night back on earth if he gets to turn me into a Funko Pop for the rest of my eternity in Hell. Instead of saying goodbye to anyone or whatever I start walking to the movies and try to get to the bottom of what I dislike about Funkos and people/the 21st century in general.

30pgs; b/w risograph printed in my living room.

*"the loser's journey" as a form of narrative arc was originated by the masterful artist David Cardoza"

#3

"wrote this comic one panel at a time on index cards post-covid lockdown, back working in the box office I wrote EFB 1 in. I find out Satan has transported me to late-seventies downtown NYC so I decide to spend my last night on earth getting drunk at CBGBs. I see this guy performing who used to manage that same box office back before I started and I used to hear a lot of stories about. I try to save his band from the failure and obscurity they experienced in real life.

https://comeonnyc.bandcamp.com/album/come-on < -- this is a compilation of music by the band in question, I own the record and it is miles better than the talking heads (the band I most often read or hear them compared to).

28 pgs. b/w riso printed in my bedroom.
