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?

Big Weekend

Posted on September 12, 2014 by Scott
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.
