I started “Clown School Cockroaches” in 2014 as an alternative, web comic. My intention was to have no print publication, no editor (not a great idea for me) and no rules. I wanted to eventually push the strip to an area of just anarchy, filth, and pandemonium. The way you would imagine a comic strip about cockroaches would be.

The characters are four cockroaches who are currently enrolled in clown school. They despise humans, human rules and most of the the human world. But they love to entertain because, well, they’re clowns. I drew a couple dozen strips while trying to discover a voice and style I was happy with and characters I liked drawing and writing for. I think I started hitting it about the time I stopped drawing the strip. I like the black and white art with color only on the noses. I like the way the characters started to look toward the more recent strips, thinner, sketchier and less endearing.

At some point, I do plan on getting the strip going again but who knows? None of us are getting any younger and there are so many things to do…
