A four-panel black-and-white comic strip labeled "MADSCOTT" in the top right, credited to SCOTTGALLATIN.COM in the bottom left. Bold cartoon style with halftone dot shading. Panel 1 (top left): Scott, the bearded man, gestures openly with one hand and a wry expression, his speech bubble reading "THIS IS NOT A SURPRISE BUT…" Panel 2 (top right): A small figure — Scott — stands alone in a flat landscape surrounded by heavy, low-hanging clouds rolling in from all sides, with a speech bubble reading "I AM ONCE AGAIN EXISTING IN A SOCIETAL FOG." No features are visible on the figure, emphasizing the isolation. Panel 3 (bottom left): A tiny boat sails on open water toward a large iceberg, with a speech bubble reading "AT ANY POINT I MAY CRASH HEADLONG INTO AN ICEBERG." Panel 4 (bottom right): A close-up of Scott's face, wearing a determined but resigned half-smile, with a speech bubble reading "IT'S LIKE I'M PLAYING HAPPY MUSIC ON A SINKING SHIP."

Fog

It's not a surprise, just a fog, an iceberg, and a really good attitude about all of it. What song are YOU playing on the sinking ship right now?

While you’re waiting

I’m in something of a frantic prep-mode for Fall Comicon. I have comics to scan and post but I have put that on hold so I can get some neat stuff done for the show. I’m going a slightly different direction from previous shows. I’ve scrapped some of the fan art I had (outside of sketch cards) and am putting out more of my art. As such this years book marks look more like this. fallcon_bookmarks

Voice of Reason

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Scott
For future reference, it’s not impossible that I may be the voice of reason, but if you ask me for ideas on what’s reasonable I will almost always suggest some combination of the following.
  1. Get pizza instead.
  2. Maybe limit the number of fingers you might lose to one.
  3. If the fire only takes off hair then it’s not a big enough fire.
  4. You are only going too fast if you also need to turn. If no turning is needed keep going forward.
  5. An angry bear is only dangerous to people to proud to trip a friend
  6. You can put your boots in the oven but that don’t make ’em biscuits
  7. If you can’t solve a problem with a hammer you clearly need a bigger hammer

Aug. Addition of the state of things

Posted on August 10, 2016 by Scott
It’s been too long and the pile of comics I need to scan keeps growing. I’ve been posting some photos of them over on the facebook page and on instagram but I want to get clean versions posted here. I am also in the process of signing up for a few shows and will put up a list once I get a confirmation. I believe I will be doing a couple of traditional craft shows as well as a couple comic shows. ** I’ll post again soon

I stumbled into some cool little bags and decided to try them out as dice bags. If you see me at MSPComicon you have a shot of buying one. dice_bag
