So, Trump's Executive Order states, “As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.”

Well, my webcomic BLOODWING FIRE FIST ANGEL is about an angel who is both female and male in physical form. Think about it!

"SKY BLUE" was my first attempt at creating a dramatic story. Prior to this I was trying my hand at creating gag comics for newspaper strips.

In an effort to get across some basic but necessary dialog, I played with extreme camera angles.

Here’s page 5 of my 1988 comic book pitch “Sky Blue”. I wonder if it would find an audience today? www.theduckwebcomics.com/Bloodwing_Fi...

Played around with an extreme camera angle and spotting black areas. Back in 1988, I developed a pitch for a noir comic "Sky Blue". Here's Page 5 of the proposed story.

The second panel breaks the 4th wall...a time honored tradition of the Private Eye talking directly to the reader...it's exposition, but I tried to present it in an entertaining way.

I approached this style with a purely black and white tone pallet. I spotted my blacks ala Chester Gould's Dick Tracy strip.

Chief Justice Roberts says the rule of law is eroding like we've rarely seen. Maybe he should've thought of that before ruling the president is above the law. You don't get to burn the house down and act shocked it's on fire.
