The Grinch has become too commercialized. It used to be about the misanthropy.

I'm grateful today (and every day) for everyone who reads my comic, shares it, laughs at it, or even groans at it. Thanks for sticking with me and letting my quirky little world become part of yours. Happy Thanksgiving!

There will always be someone better. Don’t judge yourself against the best; instead, be inspired by them and motivate yourself to learn, grow, and improve.

Plate of Misery (4/5): The Aftertaste
#webcomics #comicsky #spiderbarks
Panel 1: INT. Cerebra Office—Day Mike slouches on the couch. Mike: It was over, Bill. The perfect plan. No peas. No problem. Dr. Bill: (OP) And yet, clearly, there was a problem. Panel 2: FLASHBACK: INT. Dining Room—Night Mike freezes at the dinner table, staring at the pile of peas his mom pours on his plate. Mom: Weirdest thing. The pantry peas were gone, and Star-Mart was completely sold out. So I borrowed some from the Hendersons. Caption: No matter what I did… the peas found their way to my plate. Panel 3: Close-up of Mike’s face as his spoon trembles in his hand. Mom: (OP) If you want to make the dance… Dad: (OP) …Eat up. Caption: That’s when I knew the universe fuckin’ hated me. Panel 4: Mike attempts to swallow the peas whole, chugging his milk. SFX: GLUG GLUG GLUG Mom: (OP) What are you… Caption: I just wanted one dance. One shot. So I swallowed those damn peas whole. Panel 5: Explosive projectile vomit shoots across the table—milk and peas everywhere. SFX: BLUUUUUURGH Mom: (screaming) Michael! Panel 6: INT. Mike’s Bedroom—Night Mike sulks on his bed. Mom: (OP) You’re grounded! No dance, no TV, no nothing! Caption: The peas always win. Panel 7: Mike slips out of his bedroom window, determined. Caption: I didn’t rob a grocery store, choke down a pile of peas, and puke my guts out for nothing. I was going to that god damn dance. Panel 8: EXT. School Gym—Night Mike stands there as Jenny leaves the gym laughing hand-in-hand with a tall older kid. Caption: And just like that… the universe doubled down. Panel 9: Back to Dr. Bill’s office. Dr. Bill takes notes as Mike leans over, annoyed. Dr. Bill: So… she left with her boyfriend? Mike: Her ex-boyfriend. Dr. Bill: Not anymore. Mike: You’re a dick, Bill.

Video games from my childhood have me over prepared for the amount of barrels full of toxic waste I would encounter in my adult life.

Plate of Misery (3/5): Mission Improbable
#webcomics #comicsky #spiderbarks
Panel 1: INT. Cerebra Offices—Day. Mike: We waited until midnight. Steven had the keys, and I had… destiny. Dr. Bill: Sounds to me like you’re describing a felony. Panel 2: EXT. Star-Mart—Night. Mike and Steven stand in front of Star-Mart’s side door dressed in makeshift spy gear. Caption: I did what I had to do. Steven: Are you sure about this? Mike: Tonight we change the course of human suffering. And tomorrow, maybe second base. Panel 3: INT. Star-Mart—Night. Mike stands, holding open his hand-drawn map to Steven. Caption: It was a plan born of desperation… Mike: Operation Fuck Peas is underway. Steven: You need medication. Panel 4: Mike and Steven grab shopping carts from the front of the store. We can see shadows in a window in the background, along with muffled giggling. Caption: …And pure teenage lust. Mike: I’ll take the canned, you get the frozen. We’ll divide, conquer, and meet in the back. Panel 5: Mike and Steven freeze, staring at the shadows behind the window. They are clearly undressing. Steven: What the fuck? They’re still here? Mike: Chill, dude, destiny’s working for us. Stick to the plan. Panel 6: Canned vegetables aisle. Mike stands in front of a wall of canned peas. Caption: This was war, and I wasn’t taking any prisoners. Mike: Behold the green menace. I’m going to murder every single one of you bastards. Panel 7: Mike starts dumping the peas into the shopping cart. Mike: Nothing will come between us, Jenny. Not parents, not God, not legumes. Panel 8: Steven pushes his cart full of frozen pea bags, and it lets out a loud squeak. SFX: SQUEEEAK Manager: (OP) Did you hear that? Steven: Abort! Abort! They’re coming! Panel 9: EXT. Star-Mart Back Lot—Night The boys crash through the emergency exit—siren blaring. Peas explode everywhere. SFX: CRRRASH! WAAAAAOOOONNNNG! WAAAAAOOOONNNNG! Panel 10: INT. Back to Dr. Bill's office. Dr. Bill looks up from his notepad. Dr. Bill: I’m starting to think your real problem isn’t peas… It’s your judgment.

Like most things I poke fun at in the strip, I’ve been guilty of these habits myself. Growing up in the 70s, 80s, and especially as a teen in the 90s, the rise of the Image Comics founders hit hard and heavily influenced my early superhero work.

I absolutely hate the sound of people slurping their food, especially when it's food that isn’t slurpable.

Sometimes, the idea maker just… kinda gets backed up. And sometimes, not having an idea GIVES me an idea. This is one of those times. lol

“It belongs in a museum!”
Constantin Brancusi “Princess x” polished bronze phallic sculpture on a white pedestal in a white room. Dated 1915-16, so prolly a risqué lil piece for its day.

No matter how many times you go over the great idea you had in the middle of the night, you’ll never remember it in the morning.

Plate of Misery (2/5): Green Ops
#webcomics #comicsky #spiderbarks
Panel 1: INT. Cerebra Offices—Day. Mike fidgets with a pencil on the couch. Mike: I realized if I tossed the pantry peas, she'd just buy more. So I hatched a plan, a pea heist. Dr. Bill: You realize how insane that sounds, right? Panel 2: FLASHBACK: INT. Middle School—Day. Mike walks with Steven down the hall. Steven: Why not just tell her you hate peas? Mike: She doesn’t give a shit, dude. She gets off on watching me suffer. Panel 3: Mid-shot. Steven frowns. Steven: But you’re talking about committing a crime. Mike: I’m talking about Jenny Lark. She said she’d slow dance with me on Friday. I’m not missing that. Panel 4: In front of Mike’s locker. They stop, Mike’s desperate. Mike: I need your help. I’ll never be able to eat those peas… and I’ll never get my hands on Jenny’s hips. Panel 5: Steven shrugs, reluctant. Steven: Fine. But if we get caught, I’m gonna shank you in juvie. Panel 6: Mike holds out a hand-drawn map of Star-Mart. Mike: I got it all mapped out. Your mom clocks out Thursday. We snag her keys, get inside, and we clear the shelves. Steven: She passes out on the couch after a few Jack and Cokes. Should be easy to lift. Panel 7: INT. Back to Dr. Bill's office. Dr. Bill leans forward. Dr. Bill: So you recruited your best friend to steal his mother’s work keys so you wouldn’t have to eat vegetables? Panel 8: Mike snaps back from the couch. Mike: It wasn’t about the peas, Bill. It was about Jenny Lark’s hips. Dr. Bill: I've treated addicts, arsonists, and a kid who ate drywall... but weaponizing friendship for a pelvic acquisition? That’s new.

I’ve owned many sketchbooks over the years, but every time I open a new one, I always hesitate to make my first mark.

Just checking the balance on the ol’ bank account.

- - - This is a comic strip - - - An old lady is using an ATM. She presses “CHECK BALANCE” on the menu. A little mechanical door opens and a long rod with a soft tip gives the woman a more than firm nudge. The poor woman loses her balance and falls to the ground. The screen says “INSUFFICIENT BALANCE”.
