I received this special treat from twitter bud, very active Webcomic Alliance community member, and fellow creator Mark Stokes! I’m not sure what I love more– the way Mark draws my characters, or the way he (also) kept their alien-ness hidden from the reader while giving us a little tease (as I do with tentacles). Mark was even kind enough to send me the original, which I’ll gladly showcase in my studio!
When it comes to the webcomic “Zombie Boy” Mark is the BRAINS (get it? “Zombie”? Brains? oh nevermind) behind it. Mark used his brains to first develop Zombie Boy waaay back in 1987, in traditional comic book form (to be sold in, like, REAL shops!), and it has returned as a comic strip online! Centering around Morgan McCorkindale (aka Zombie Boy) who had a bit of an… er… “accident” on Voodoo Island, and tossing in wacky eccentric characters like Beatrice the psychic, Claustria the wiccan, or Gorr the, uh… dog, there is definitely no lack of interesting situations or subjects to be covered in this comic. Zombie Boy is certainly colorful in the literal AND figurative sense– don’t be surprised to see anything from dinosaurs to ghosts to demons to a frog pentagram. Yes, you read that right. Give Mark’s comic a read, if you haven’t already… you won’t be disappointed!
Mark is awesome. Both in his style and his ability to make the rounds.
What an honor and privilege to draw Z&F, Dawn. They are a blast to draw, regardless of the fact that I didn’t follow your specs exactly! I can’t say what was more enjoyable, drawing it or writing it, the challenge was to come up with something I hope made YOU smile. Thanks much for letting me spend some time with your lovable ETs!
Ha Ha Getting dressed in a hurry, especially when wet, is an art to be mastered. Great strip by Mark
It was a real pleasure working with Z&F, Dawn! I don’t know what was more fun, the writing or the drawing – both gave me a real appreciation of how much effort you put into your wonderful strip. Thanks for your kind words, I’m really glad you liked it!
Great strip! 🙂
Man, I’ve been missing a lot lately. o.O …fantastic rendition of of Z&F by Master Stokes! He does great work and is simply a great guy to his comic peers and readers!
Awesome job by Mark. That last panel cracks me up. Not only are they upside down, but they are in the wrong suits; not that’s some dressing in a hurry. It may take a day or two for Zorphbert to get the extra wrinkles out. 🙂
Mark Stokes is a cartooning genius. I fully acknowledge that now.
Great take on Z&F, mark. Nobody’s mind works quite like yours. 🙂
