Comic veteran John Rozum (that’s him in the glasses in the comic) recently took to the internet to let people know what was really going on behind the scenes of the recently cancelled New 52 book, “Static Shock”.
It’s probably naive of us to think stuff like this isn’t happening all the time without the reading public’s knowledge, but when you’re working in the world of superheroes fighting for truth and justice, I guess you just want to hope for the best in people.
If you haven’t read about it yet, you should, then feel free to come back and discuss.

PS: This was the first strip I’ve drawn all digital. I posted the “inks” only version over in the FORUM for you to check out.
This is another commission I did for someone!
If you’re uncertain as to what is happening, this is Rowlf (from The Muppets) and John Lennon (from The Beatles) on stage doing a number together.
I’ll let you decide what song they’re singing.
If you’d like to pay me to draw something for you, here is a chart Dylan made for me to let you know my rates!
All rates are for one character, but you can add more dudes for a little more.
Drop me a line at thechrishaley at gmail dot com if you want some original art!
Or if you don’t want any art and just want to help me stay off the streets, I will greatly appreciate any reblogs!

ch1. This is awesome. I’ve seen it in person.
2. Chris is awesome. Give him money.
See, listen to this guy.
I think comics are always worth doing. I think they’re worth doing if you get paid or if you don’t get paid, if you have an internet readership in the millions or in the dozens, if you make tiny perfect comics by hand or if you staple together photocopied sheets from Kinkos, if you make comics to show to people, or keep them locked in your dresser drawer. Comics are always worth making because they are awesome. So you make them, and you learn and you grow as a creator. And sometimes you even get paid to make comics! And sometimes you don’t.
Awesome words from Faith Erin Hicks

Do you remember The Adventures of Pete & Pete? We do.
It was the best show ever: the precise distillation of all the strangeness and wonder of childhood. The sublime ache of that perfect summer you know will never come again, or a song you can’t quite capture.
Anyway, we love Pete & Pete, and we know some of you, do, too. So, we’re making a tribute zine, and we want you to be part of it.
Write or draw your favorite memories of Pete & Pete—stories, art, songs, comics, or anything else you dream up. Send ‘em to us by May 1, 2012. We’ll collect our favorites and print ‘em in a zine.
Contributors get a comp copy, plus a print-res PDF so they can print and sell their own. We’re not looking to make money from this. We just want it to exist.
THE FINE PRINT:
E-mail submissions to peteandpetezine@gmail.com by May 1, 2012.
Written submissions—essays, interviews, memoirs, poetry, whatever—should be .doc or .rtf files. No length limit, but bear in mind that it’ll be easier for us to place shorter pieces. We’re not really looking for straight-up fanfiction, but we’ll definitely consider any and all submissions.
Comics, illustrations, and other visual media should be .tif or .jpg files, black-and-white or greyscale (maybe if this thing takes waaaaay off, we’ll do a limited color run, but we’re not counting on that), formatted to fit a 4.25” x 5.5” page at 300-600 DPI. Again, no length limit, but bear in mind that shorter pieces will be easier for us to place. If you need a spread, please indicate that somewhere in your submission.
Keep it reasonably clean: if it wouldn’t fly on the show, we probably won’t print it.
By submitting work to Waiting for October via peteandpetezine@gmail.com, you give us the right to use it in the Waiting for October print zine and tumblr. Anywhere we use your work, it’ll be credited to you. If your work appears in the print zine, you’ll get a contributor copy and a print-res PDF. The whole deal will be under a Creative Commons license, and contributors are free to print ‘n sell copies.
We are in no way affiliated with The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Nickelodeon, Polaris, or anyone but our own bad selves.Stay pipe!
-Miles & Rachel
P.S. Special thanks to Kory Bing, who took all the pictures. You can read Kory’s comics here.
@thechrishaley drew John Lennon and Rowlf singing what I imagine to be Kanye West’s Runaway for commision for someone, and I colored it. I have included his commisions price chart, because for serious, the guy is rad and if you can, you should pay him to make arts for you.
This is another commission I did for someone!
