If you don’t know who Sensei Ping is, then you probably don’t know who The Middleman is and you are probably confused by at least one post a year on Doodlehoose (that’s actually pretty good considering that at least one post a year on Doodlehoose confuses me).
The Middle Man is a barely-heard-of-in-my-circles comic book mini-series written by Javier Grillo-Marxuach. Javier also wrote some of the barely heard of television show Lost about a bunch of plane crash victims on a mystical fate island. The story is about an operative called The Middle Man that recruits Wendy Watson to fight nefarious villains for mysterious bosses whom he doesn’t even know. Sensei Ping is a member of the clan of the pointed stick and the person that trained The Middle Man and will soon train Wendy in the ways of martial arts.
Anyway the comic is wacky and fun and it did get made into a very short television series that is also wacky fun.

This week’s post is my take on Daisy Cutter. Created by Kazu Kibuishi, Daisy is a tough lady that knows how to handle a rifle.
Kibuishi also does a series called Copper and Amulet. So far I have enjoyed all of what I’ve read.
Here’s Kibiushi’s
Here’s a color Jimmy Olsen. I couldn’t resist.
Can I quote you on that?
This monday post comes right from the book of Judges. It’s my interpretation of Barak telling the judge Deborah that he won’t go to battle without her and her giving him an earful. It’s my attempt at Ben Caldwell’s style through the rough strokes of my own.

This week’s post is a drawing I did while in a panel at the New York Comic Con. I was not a panelist, but the endearing Bruce Campbell was. This is obviously his character Ash from Army of Darkness. I still haven’t fixed the scanner so I took a photo of my sketch book (that’s why it has a crease) and tried to give it a coloring in Photoshop.
I can tell you that he is an entertaining panelist, and I am not interested in seeing the new Evil Dead. It looks disgusting and creepy so if you’re into very bloody monster movies it’s right up your alley.
One Night Only
One Night Only: Nightowl Sings… with Rorschach on the long stare.
This week’s post is inspired by my oldest son. He loves monsters and for the past two weeks we have been having a blast making them out of construction paper. I cut out an odd shape and he places eyes in an unexpected place. Then he finishes it off with a drawn mouth. They are so much fun. The best part about a monster is that you can’t get it wrong and the colors can be anything you want. These ones aren’t as much fun as the ones we did together because he didn’t get to stick googley eyes on them, but I hope that you enjoy.
