Startling Stories for All Ages
Originally, “Big Trouble” was posted in five PDFs that needed to downloaded to be read. No longer. Just click on the first image below and flip through the gallery.
NOBLE FAILURE #12 (December 2007)
01/02/08 UPDATE:
Thanks to Webmaster Mike for creating the link to the final installment of NOBLE FAILURE.
The first part is a self contained story. The last two pages are experiments with the 3-panel dailies usually seen in newspapers. There’s no narrative connection between the two pages.
(That might be an interesting 24-Hour Comic: 24 pages of 3-panel gags that have no narrative thread other than the main character. Could you keep a coherent story out of that many pages and panels?)

NOBLE FAILURE #11 (November 2007)

What’s all the hub-bub, Bub?
Only the latest edition of NOBLE FAILURE, my monthly 24-Hour Comic!
(Just because they get done on a monthly basis doesn’t mean they’ve gotten posted in the same month. Lots of excuses I could bore you with, but why bother? You wouldn’t believe half of them anyway.)
Having gained a ton of computer drawing experience with NOBLE FAILURE #9, I decided to take another swing at an on-line comic.
Swing — and a miss!
Issue #11 tops out at 14 pages. There are some surprises in those pages, artistically speaking. The newsmen came out nicely. They don’t look like my usual style, which must mean I’m learning.
So, only one more issue to go. I’ve got a couple of days off in a row this week, so will making my twelfth and final attempt starting late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, depending on the wife and kid.
The final issue will be posted before the end of the year. Count on it!
NOBLE FAILURE #10 (October 2007)
Noble Failure #10 Halloween Special
(Scroll down to the gallery, then click to view.)
I’m thinking this is about as close to a 24-Hour Comic as I’m going to get: Twenty-six(!) pages (24 interiors, plus front and back covers) penciled in 15-and-a-half hours. Yee-haw.
Then again with the headaches! What the #@$%*?!?? So instead of pushing myself to the point of illness, I put some finishing touches on the interiors, inked the front cover, and that was that.

The final installment of the Mr. Sprinkles saga.
The art was finished back on October 24 but it took this long to get it posted.
Why?
Oh, doing the October AND November editions of my 24-Hour Comics, as well as a few other messes, trickbags, and imbroglios — all of which turned out fine. I’ve got a new job and a new car, neither of which I was looking for nor wanted at the time, though things are all working out for the better.
So, read and enjoy these last few pages of Noble Failure #9. Doing the story this way was completely worth it to me. I hope you’ll find the conclusion worth your wait.
