Is this dude EVER gonna finish this comic?

 I forgot to post page four of The Brother: Run Alonzo Run, so I'll post it now along with page five. I have gotten into the habit of posting on Facebook first instead of here, which is dumb, since this autoposts to Facebook. That ends today...

From the archives...

Here's some sketches from my old SamaxAmen.com sketchbook section. I took the link to the sketchbook off the main page, since it only confuses people to see these sketches which are like ten years old, but they are still there for people who have linked to them.

Here's my portrait Jerod "DTOX" Davies, in case you missed it...
