So some of you may or may not know that I’ve been dealing with a fairly serious eye condition for the last 2 weeks or so. At its peak, I couldn’t use the computer for more than a half hour at a time. I finally seem to be getting better and I’ve even started work on a new comic, but it’s slow going and I’ve found myself backed up with work. Even so, I hope to have a new comic out relatively soon. Thanks for all your support!

Halloween is quickly approaching and, like usual, I have no idea what I’m going to be. But that doesn’t mean you need to be stuck without an idea!

I promise to send a small, free, hand-drawn BiPE picture to anyone who dresses like Danny or any of my characters for Halloween. All you need to do is send a picture of your costume to boyinpinkearmuffs@gmail.com along with an address for your drawing. Let me know if anyone decides to do this!

“From writer-director J.B. Ghuman Jr. comes the colorful and foul-mouthed feature musical comedy SPORK, a film about a frizzy-haired, pink-cheeked outcast named Spork who is trying to navigate her way through the annals of junior high. When a school dance show provides a chance for Spork to show up a mean girls gang, her trailer-park neighbor steps up to coach her with some booty-poppin moves. Featuring a vintage 90s soundtrack (that includes orig. music by Lady Tigra, Yeti Beatz, Amber Melody and Cazwell, JJ Fads SuperSonic, 2-Live Crew’s Get It Girl), a score by Casey James and the Stay Puft Kid; and extended school hall dance sequences, SPORK is a film about standing out and fitting in.”
