HEY, A NEW COMIC STRIP! Is it "Mura-Comix" or "Adventure with Zori"? (or maybe both!) 😊 Our cat, Zori, explores new spots after we tented the house for termites. Why is there a cement mixer here? Or should I ask, “Why don’t you have one?” 😊 Anyway, I knew this silly story had to be told!

One more piece from tonight’s Back to the Future 40th anniversary COMIC JAM HAWAII Drink & Draw! Rick & Morty was originally called Doc & Marty but had to be changed for obvious reasons.

Tonight’s COMIC JAM HAWAII Drink & Draw was Back to the Future celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year! I found a drawing I started last year and finally came up with a gag and colored it. 😊 (Hawaiian Time is a casual attitude for punctuality. Usually showing up late)

Had to rush a quick sketch because it's Sesame Street's 56th birthday today! I’ve had this pun for a while! I grew up watching a lot of Sesame Street as a kid! Happy 56th anniversary @sesamestreet for educating children for over half a century ^_^

Tonight was a very different COMIC JAM HAWAII Drink & Draw. A randomizer gave us a cartoon character and a drama movie and we had to integrate them.
1️⃣ Beavis & Butthead in 12 Years as a Slave
2️⃣ Lola Bunny in Hacksaw Ridge
3️⃣ Winnie the Pooh in The Hunt for Red October
4️⃣ Doraemon in Casablanca

#inktober2025 26 PUZZLING: The Firefly's fiery attack melted the ice and plunged into Arctic water, extinguishing himself. It's puzzling how the area melted but the heroes' spot didn't.

#inktober2025 25 INFERNO: The Firefly, frustrated at not catching the Phantom Thief, screams and powers up, unleashing flames that set the area inti a blazing inferno. PhantomThief uses his semi-flame-resistant cape for protection. Henchman 38 is ready for s’mores!

#inktober2025 24 ROWDY: Tjings have gotten extremely rowdy! The Firefly, with flaming hands, wildly attacks our two thieves! The Phantom Thief stays ahead on the towering monolith as chaos erupts, his fiery fists shattering the ice. He evades every blow, but Henchman 38 is less fortunate.

#inktober2025 23 FIREFLY: After Penguin With A Gun pressed the button on the remote, a cage on the side of a fake massive iceberg swung open, unleashing the fiery Firefly! His butt lit up with a radiant glow, and his four hands blazed with flames, ready to battle our heroes in an epic showdown!

#inktober2025 22 BUTTON: After recovering from the explosion, Penguin with a Gun has lost his patience and presses the button on a remote control - what happens next for our thieving duo? (and I just realized I forgot to draw their winter outfits- lol ^_^;)

#inktober2025 21 BLAST: In an unforeseen mishap, Henchman 38's breath mints fell out of his pocket and reacted with the diet soda in Penguin With A Gun's water pistol, causing a massive blast that demolished everything in a 5-mile radius and sent our heroes flying in multiple directions!

#inktober2025 20 RIVALS From the distance behind a blanket of snow suddenly emerges Henchman 38’s fiercest rival, “Penguin with a Gun!” The two adversaries glare at each other, exchanging fiery insults as they prepare for an epic, final showdown! (Wow! I actually caught up with the dailies ^_^)

#inktober2025 18 DEAL: Many forced grins appeared during the handshake sealing the deal. Henchman 38's fake vase was unnoticed by The Walrus Crime Boss, who negotiated with Phantom Thief for info on the next treasure. Henchman 38 suspects both sides are taking advantage of each other.

#Inktober2025 15: RAGGED - Our thieves got the Sapphire of Stygia and head to trade. A clue hints at a trap! The fake jewel is a disguised bomb! It explodes, leaving the duo in rubble in ragged clothes. Swindled, they must now make a new plan to keep pursuing their ultimate treasure goal.

COMIC JAM HAWAII Drink & Draw was “Food Monsters.” This idea came from wanting to create new monster cereals. I made a few random ones. Mahalo to everyone for all the suggestions! If I have time, I might flesh out some of those ideas! 😊

#inktober2025 11- STING: Apparently, the code 2b mentioned earlier meant two bees - like the Brokowski Bee Twins! They just escaped a sting and were going to sting our two thieves into submission,
but held back as they were traded the crown for more information.

#inktober2025 10- SWEEP: The two thieves sweep the city for clues and find a partially revealed message in an abandoned warehouse. Henchman 38 sweeps away the dust, revealing “2b or not 2b.” They wonder if it's a code, an address, or a reference to Hamlet, but it brings them closer to their goal.

#inktober2025 09 - HEAVY - After jumping out the window, the thieves use the phantom thief’s cape as a parachute and drift down the street. Ninja Starfish is too heavy, weighed down by weapons, and crashes below. On the ground, our heroes find clues about where to deliver the stolen crown.
