Hey, Rare Bits is back! This is a rather busy time of life for us Rarebiters – being a part of the Center for Cartoon Studies senior class (along with mistress Vaughn), I’ll be graduating (hopefully) this Saturday. But, thesis is DONE — therefore I have time again. What do I choose to spend that [...]

It’s a busy, busy week for Jen and I, what with having to complete our theses for the Center for Cartoon Studies and all…but I’ll lay this one on ya, real quick: This is part of my thesis package. Cartooning school is awesome. Share/Bookmark
Many people don’t realize this, but I’m a bit of an amateur naturalist. You can often find me — palm frond in hand, pith helmet jauntily angled upon my pate — laying in wait along some deserted stretch of highway, crouching, coiled like a limp bedspring. Waiting. Waiting for what you ask? Why, Porcupines of [...]
Rarebits rocked it at MoCCA! Besides giving out a hundred samplers out on Saturday, we had a couple of microphones and cameras in our faces (Sam talked with NPR at one point), sold a bunch of comics, gave a bunch out to the press, and ate some freakin’ great food. The curry puffs were a [...]
Well, the big ol’ arty comic book convention MoCCA is on it’s way, and that means that we here at Rarebits are busy as shit. Really. I almost don’t have time to play Zelda II at half speed on an emulator so that I can feel like I’m all good at hard games and stuff. [...]
So, I really like bagging on the things I have derision for. I can’t really help it – I hung out with indy-rock snobs back in high school and never quite recovered. Problem is, hating is hard work – and I can’t always hate on everything I hate with complete, first hand knowledge of the [...]
Okay – WATCH THIS. Seriously. If you don’t this post will not make any sense whatsoever. Don’t worry – it’s amazing, but you must make it past the :50 mark. Easily the best music video I’ve seen in a long, long time. ———– ———– Have you watched the video? ———– ———– If you haven’t watched [...]
The internet lives and dies by top “insert number here” lists. Really. Only pornography can compete with the sheer volume of lists on the web. (god forbid anyone merge the two together. Nerds everywhere would flock to that website like Mecca.) Not being one to swim against the current of the popular idiom (today), I’ve [...]
With apologies to the prophet Nahum: Godzilla is an avenger, a passionate God; Godzilla is an avenger, expert in wrath. Godzilla is an avenger against his foes, he seethes in anger against his enemies. Godzilla is slow to anger, but massive in strength: he will not remit punishment. Mothra is in the whirlwind, her path [...]
So, I had this whole elaborate drawing and write-up planned for my post this week, and it’s sooooo not happening. Next week, I promise. However, in an act of contrition for you, gentle reader, my autopilot kicked in at about midnight last night — powered by guilt and kool-aid — and I sketched up a [...]
