A four-panel black-and-white comic strip in a bold cartoon style with halftone dot shading. Panel 1 (top left): The bald round-headed friend and Scott (bearded, wearing a sleeveless shirt) face each other. The friend asks "SO, YOU'RE GOING TO PORTLAND?" and Scott replies enthusiastically "YEP! READY FOR MY SUMMER TRIP." Panel 2 (top right): A serene seaside scene with a glass of water on a table, ocean waves, and clouds in the background. A speech bubble reads "WE'RE GOING TO EAT GOOD FOOD AND WATCH THE OCEAN." No characters appear — the image evokes the vacation dream. Panel 3 (bottom left): The bald friend returns with a skeptical, sideways glance and says "I HEARD THEY KILL GUYS THAT LOOK LIKE YOU IN PORTLAND." Panel 4 (bottom right): Scott, visibly amused and unbothered, responds with two connected bubbles: "LET'S CALL THAT 'PLAN B'" and "IF THE FOOD THING DOESN'T WORK OUT." The comic balances vacation optimism against a dark-humored warning

Big Weekend

First.. I have a comic almost ready to post.. this week kicked my ass though. My elder Son is turning 15 tomorrow. I really can’t figure that out yet. 15 is about when kids start being people and not just extensions of their parents (in my opinion). I’ll be sharing table space tomorrow with Phil. We’ll be at the Eau Claire Comic Con. EC3

House Keeping

You may or may not have noticed that some of the rougher looking comics have dropped off the site. I did some housekeeping and deleted about a dozen comics that honestly were very rough, or only done in pencil, or were sketch cards. Either I shouldn’t have uploaded them or they should have been part of a blog post. Either way what’s in the comic navigation today should be decent comics and I’ll add more again soon.

A brief and functional update

In the unlikely event that this is the only place online that you look for updates on my life I would like a moment of your time to point you to https://www.facebook.com/madscottcomic. I have been adding quick little updates there mostly because it’s really easy. The sketch cards I’ve been doing typically show up there first only because I upload them directly from my phone. Additionally, I would encourage you to reach out to someone and let them know you’re there and thinking of them.
