New public pinned post over at Patreon, figured I'd pin it here too. Here's some links:

A drawing of a bearded man holding a brushpen surrounded by wacky characters. On the left is a woman with a wolf's head headdress holding a little woodland creature, then there's a Bride of Frankenstein, then a Frankenstein that looks like the man, then a skeleton on fire in a hoodi holding a cup of coffee with a ghost of steam rising out of it, then a werewolf holding up his hand in a hail satan hand sign.

I posted a bunch of samples of one pagers I've done over the years over at shinercomics.net/one-pagers

Here's some faves:

A one page comic called An Unquiet Mind about a recurring dream that featured being a wolf running around in a burning city.

A one page comic Commodore's Cleveland episode seven:: The West Side Vampire about a Romanian vampire fighting the Irish boxing champion Johnny Kilbane.

A one page comic, Metalhead Werewolf in Dare to Be Stupid where he dances around to Weird Al's Dare to be Stupid.

A One page comic, Tales to Demystify: Feelin' Adamantium Tonight?, where a guy in a wheelchair makes some metalheads carry him up the stairs to an inaccessible music venue.

John G @shinercomics.bsky.social · 2d

For the Momento Mori Kickstarter I'm offering the opportunity to collaborate on a one page comic as one of the reward tiers. I'll work with you to write and draw a one pager about anything at all!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

A one page comic with 8 panels: 1- a guy saying "This could be you!". 2- the caption "I'll collaborate with you to make a one page comic!" with a character gesturing with a lightbulb over their hands as the guy draws on a tablet. 3- the Caption "It could be action packed!" over a super hero. 4- Caption "Or saoked in romance!" over two characters kissing. 5- caption "Or spooky horror" over a face with red eyes and jagged teeth. 6- Caption "or autobio/slice of life..." over two characters talking. 7- the guy from panel 1 pointing at a comic page saying "either way, when it's done you'll have a one-page comic!" 8- Caption "suitable for publishing as a mini-comic!" over a minicomic with "Your Comic!!" on the cover.

A promo card for the One Page Comic Collaboration tier of the Memento Mori kickstarter.

No, VP Vance- the reason our emergency rooms are crowded isn't due to illegal immigrants. It's due to our for-profit health care system which leaves many Americans unable to afford healthcare insurance so the emergency room is their only option.

Frank's is my favorite diner in Cleveland. I voted for Faraj in the primary partly because he's a regular.

skrticx.bsky.social @skrticx.bsky.social · 7d

Enjoyed sitting down with Cleveland City Council candidate Mohammed Faraj at the amazing Frank’s Falafel House on West 65th. He shared his thoughts on the Ward 7 City Council race and answered questions from diners. Thanks to Mohammed for his time and the photo.
