Cornflake & Aloisius - September 12, 2016


Strip made to celebrate C&A's 10th anniversary. Couple of insider baseball references:

-The "Hail to the Chieves [sic]" headline is based on an actual front page misprint in my college's newspaper. The editor didn't think anything of it at first, but when he realized that Kansas City's NFL team was named the "Chiefs", it was too late.

-Any non-student-made comic in the college paper around the time I was there was either syndicated strips nobody cared about or ancient one-panel gag cartoons.

Cornflake & Aloisius - October 12, 2015


Sorry Cornflake, that "Nicktoons movie" was an unsubstantiated rumor and the "Celebrity Deathmatch reboot" isn't gonna happen either.

This is also the only comic I've made that technically has a drawing of gentials in it (in the form of Aloisius' pizzle stick). I'm kinda surprised Tumblr didn't flag that.

Cornflake & Aloisius - April 27, 2015


Not much to say about this one other than I had a blast trying to cram in as many comic references as I could.

Fun fact: In the upper-left corner of the second-to-last panel (next to the Chick tract), I paid a small homage to "Marco", a student-made strip that was published in the same college newspaper as C&A.

Cornflake & Aloisius - December 29, 2014


Oh Aloisius, if you thought 2014 was bad, just wait until 2015! And 2016. And 2017. And 2018...

Cornflake & Al(Annoyed Grunt)ius - October 1, 2012

Warning: Cartoonish eye trauma ahead!


Another scathing animation take, and a long one at that! It was not fun doing line work with a 1px pen tool.

And why would Carly Rae know their names? She just met them. And this is crazy.

Cornflake & Aloisius - September 3, 2012


Cornflake finds a new decade to ruin.

Cornflake & Aloisius - January 3, 2011


Real question, does anybody still use "two thousand" when describing years, or has that been phased out in favor of "twenty"?

Cornflake's expression in the second-to-last panel would end up becoming my Tumblr avatar:


Cornflake & Aloisius - June 21, 2010


My first post-college C&A strip, with a continuation of Cornflake's unhealthy obsession with the '80s.

Cornflake & Aloisius - March 21, 2007


The 2000s saw the beginning of what would become a full-on fetishization of the '80s, and here Cornflake is getting in on the ground floor.

Cornflake & Aloisius - Meet Oreo


Cornflake and Aloisius meet Penny's brother, who has some very unfortunate fur markings.

Bear in mind that the punchline comic was made before the History Channel became nothing but American Pickers and Ancient Aliens.

Cornflake & Aloisius - November 1, 2006


My hot take on animation at the time, when every TV-Y7 action/adventure series had dull, kinda-anime-if-you-squint-hard-enough designs and exploding robot villains.

Cornflake & Aloisius - October 4, 2006


My fourth C&A strip, with an introduction to Penny. Ironically enough, she's my only female character that doesn't have long eyelashes.

Penny was named after my grandparents' old tabby, who had passed away earlier in the year. So the name was a tribute of sorts.

Cornflake & Aloisius - Model Sheet 2006


Hello and welcome to my Blogspot! I'll be posting my old comics, animations, and other things here as a back up just in case (Heaven forbid) something happens to them elsewhere.

I'll start off with reposting some of my Cornflake & Aloisius stuff. I originally invented these two for a comic strip that was published in my college newspaper. Above is a wonky-looking model sheet that I made for a printmaking class. Some of my classmates said the character designs reminded them of Sniz & Fondue, and I don't blame them, I had just seen the "Psyched for Snuppa" pilot short on YouTube at the time.

Stay tuned, there's plenty more to come!
