More on Emma and Kirby’s situation next time …
Tag: no Watusi
“Meanwhile, in the Emerald City…”
Looks like Emma & Kirby aren’t too happy with their situation! Maybe spending the night on the river bank wasn’t so bad after all…
“The dream of Mitchell”
… although maybe “nightmare” is more appropriate …
A big thank you to everyone who stopped and chatted with me during last weekend’s Memphis Comic Expo (check out these great photos from the con by my table neighbor Brandt Hardin)! If your first taste of Watusi has encouraged you to check out more, welcome! Feel free to browse the archives– a lot has happened since the “Emerald Serpent” storyline!
“Late Night with Professor Harvey”
It’s no wonder the Professor looks so haggard– between staring at a computer monitor all day and contemplating math problems all night, it’s no wonder he’s bleary-eyed!
I’ve talked a bit about my upcoming “Watusi and the Emerald Serpent” tour stops (including the Memphis Comic Expo, Oct. 22-23 and Wichita’s Air Capital Comiccon, Nov. 12-13), and I hope you’ll be able to visit me at one of those events. If you can’t make it, though, the full set of seven issues is now available for purchase from my online store— details here!
“The hard truth”

Well, yeah, Watusi had his bad points, but come on! Let’s hope Emmet has something better to say about Watusi in the next episode!
Another batch of guest stars made the trip to my comic for Watusi’s memorial: special thanks to Matt Levin (best known for his Walking Man rubber stamp comics; Matt was also a Dime Bag Comics contributor), Drew Boynton (creator of fun Doggie & Jilly comics; Drew was also in APA-5 with me), and Matt Feazell (creator of the Amazing Cynicalman, among other stick figure masterpieces) for classing up this episode! If you’re not already familiar with their work, there’s no time like the present…
“One sunny day at the cemetery”
“Just a job to do”

“The disposition of…”?!? How have things gotten to this point? Maybe the Professor really did kill Watusi…
“On the other hand…”
“Shades of sadness”

When, oh, when will I stop trying to manipulate your heartstrings? Would you believe next episode?
By the way, this is the first time I’ve actually drawn Kirby’s dad, even though he was mentioned in Kirby’s first co-starring role, the 24-hour comic that was published as Watusi #6, way back in 2003!
“Guilt pangs”
« Previous Next »
This week’s seventh anniversary episode is a real milestone for me. It’s probably no surprise by now that I appreciate a well-paced adventure comic, and the more I work on this Watusi adventure strip, the more I am awed by the greats of the early days of the genre and what they accomplished. Gottredson, Segar, Hamlin and others mixed comedy and action in a way that made readers want to read the next strip … and made it look easier than it is to do, too!
This episode is the 365th Watusi strip, which means that if had been a daily adventure strip (which is how I’ve paced it, especially early on) all of the stories to date would have taken place in its first year: the adventure in Isla Esmerelda, the time travel story with W-Tusi25, Mystery Mutt & Teebo, the recent Victorian Watusi diversion, the Motilizing Reclivator, the Ch-ch-chattering skull, Sourpuss, the Dance Party, and (whew!) the Purloined Pocketwatch!
Hope you’ll stick around for the “second” year of adventure! Up next, more reactions to Watusi’s passing …
