Striker!

DSCF0040

Published by We Care Arts, this is an all ages friendly comic written by We Care Arts client Lauren Easley about a golden retriever who joins a bowling league. It’s pretty darn cute.

We Care is an art studio where people with physical, developmental or mental disabilities produce and sell artwork. I’ve been volunteering and working there for over two years and I can honestly say it’s the best thing I’ve ever been associated with. The difference this place makes in so many people’s lives is enormous.

You can purchase a copy of Striker for $3 by visiting the We Care Arts gift shop located at 3035 Wilmington Pike in Kettering, Oh (gift shop hours Mon-Fri 9am – 4pm and Sat 10am – 2pm).

Copies are also available at Mavericks Cards and Comics in Kettering or by sending payment in the mail to me at: Jason Young po box 20083 Dayton, Oh. 45420 (please add $1 for postage). All proceeds are split between Lauren Easley and We Care Arts.

Here are some samples of the book:

Sailor

Wednesday, July 18th, 2012


This is the cover to the comic book “Sailor” written by Brian John Mitchell and drawn by me. It’s a kind of Twilight Zone style mini-comic about an old sailor alone on a boat.

It’s one of three comics Brian wrote that will be placed into bottles and released into rivers, oceans and possibly even a tributary or two for future generations to find and puzzle over. There’s a Kickstarter page for the project and the first person to donate $200 gets the original artwork to Sailor (plus tons of other goodies)! But if you don’t want to dig that deep there are plenty of other pledge amounts you can consider. Check out the Kickstarter page here and a youtube promo video here.

Also, just click on the icon above all this blah blah blahing for a four page preview of the comic.

Veggie Dog Saturn #6

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012


Veggie Dog Saturn #6 is hot off the press! I’ll be selling them this weekend at SPACE in Columbus, Ohio but if for some reason you can’t make it to the show (and shame on you if you can’t) you can still get a copy either by stopping in Mavericks Cards and Comics in Kettering, Ohio, by sending it to my paypal address (which is veggiedogsaturn@gmail.com) or by sending $3 to me at Buyer Beware Comics po box 20083 Dayton, Oh. 45420.

This issue recounts my first trip to the beautiful of Chicago way back in 1993. It’s over thirty pages of bomb threats, underage drinking and Chicago Comicon bliss written and drawn by yours truly and featuring the wraparound cover seen here.

Makes excellent coaster!

Veggie Dog Saturn Tijuana Bible Special

Sunday, April 1st, 2012


I’m so excited to announce this new comic that’s going to be released at SPACE in Columbus later this month! It’s the Veggie Dog Saturn Tijuana Bible Special and it chronicles every sexual experience I’ve ever had starting in grade nine all the way up to just last week!

That’s right, some autobiographical cartoonists like Chester Brown and Joe Matt have been doing these kind of explicit stories for years but they’ve never had the cajones to use the actual names and likenesses of the ladies involved. Well I for one think the time is nigh for an autobiographical story the reveals all… and boy do I mean ALL!

Inside you’ll find stories such as “Handcuffed Hottie”, “Teenaged Tart”, “Wal-Mart Bathroom”, “Pep Rally Peepshow”,”The Backdoor Twins” and “Uncle Tim”.

Don’t miss this sexxxy mini-comic that debuts at SPACE on April 21st in Columbus! And don’t let the fact that it’s a mini-comic fool you… it’s not the size of the comic but how much gratuitous real life sex action inside that matters!

Don’t miss it!

S.P.A.C.E. Anthology Comic 2012

Tuesday, March 27th, 2012


The Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo (or SPACE) is coming up on April 21st and 22nd in Columbus, Ohio and Brian John Mitchell has once again put together an anthology of comics by some of the exhibitors. This year is a milestone though as it is the first year there will be a print verison instead of only the usual digital version! Exciting indeed!

And speaking of exciting… I’m super excited because in said anthology is the first collaborative comic by yours truly and my lovely ladyfriend Kathleen Coyle! That’s right, she wrote a four page autobiographical story which I then drew then handed it back to her to color
… BY HAND!

The 98 page full color SPACE Anthology 2012 is available as a free pdf download (and shortly on iPad through the Cloud 9 Comix app) and the tangible version will be available for $20 at SPACE and on Amazon.

You can visit Back Porch Comics to check it out (and find out more about the show) or click on the “Kathleen’s Patronus Memory” icon above all this yapping for a short preview.

See you at SPACE!
