Supey and the 'Rine

Yeah. That headline is lame. My brain is sleepy.

But it does relate (in a decidedly unwitty fashion) to today's venture into the vault of Gabe's childhood, from which we have exactingly extracted these two gems of yesteryear:











































It's a four day weekend here in the land of never never, and there's some serious pencil pushing to be done. All this comic-book making is seriously cutting into my Buffy the Vampire Slayer watching.

Life is such a long hard toil into infinite darkness, isn't it?

Toil on, toilers!

Black Bird Broad and Big Green Guy

It's a ruby Tuesday and a sunshiny day.

A couple more nuggets from the archives of antiquity:











































Have a splendid tomorrow!

Still Rising...

´Tis the dawn of a new week, which brings of course a new page in the saga of young Gabriel and his purty pitcher making.

Page the third can be found here:

And more nostalgia bombs from the whippersnapper workbook:












































Enjoy the last days of April, friends!

Marvel Boy?

As evidenced by Gabe's choice of subject in his artistic endeavors, some eagle-eyed unbelievers have speculated that young Gabe might have been something of a Marvel Zombie back in the day.

There is truth in this supposition. As a lad, Gabe's attention was predominantly pointed at the amazing adventures of the Uncanny X-Men, while it was his younger brother that was eternally entranced by features like The Flash and the Justice League of America.

Ah, but the tide would change with the introduction of a daring new directive from DC in the form of a funny book called The New Teen Titans. Lured by, of all things, a preview in the pages of Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew, Gabe goggled at the unparalleled power of Perez' pulse pounding pencils and Wolfman's soapy superheroic situations.

But mostly, I think he was enthralled by Starfire's outfit.

Those were the days...

Gabe Also Rises

A new Thursday brings with it a new page of Gabriel Rising. Page two that is:

http://www.untruetales.com/Pages/GabrielRising2.html

Plus another peek into the Gabester's childhood sketchbook:
























When Captain America throws his mighty shield,
All those who chose oppose his shield must yield.
If he's lead to a fight and a duel is due,
Then the red and white and the blue'll come through.
When Captain America throws his mighty shiiiiiieeeeeeeld!

An Orc and a Bear walk into a bar...

Bartender says " Now you're an odd couple.
How'd an orc like you hook up with a bear like that?"
The orc says "Well, that's an interesting story..."
And the bear eats the bartender.

Here's today's presentation of Gabe's childhood drawings:












































It's an orc and a bear. Get it?

Cowboys and Indians

Ah, the Old West. What boy isn't enthralled by dreams of the dusty trail, the trusty horse, and the silvery six-gun? Who among us hasn't imagined stalking the mighty buffalo on the great plains with bow and arrow? Or taking the scalp of fork-tongued white-eye with the deadly tomahawk?

Hm.

Do kids still play Cowboys and Indians these days? It all seems terribly politically incorrect now that I think about it...

Here's young master Gabe's angle:

Come On Up For The Rising

Welcome friends and neighbors!

The rising Monday sun is dragging our friend Gabe along with it in a new Untrue Tale called...wait for it...
Gabriel Rising!

Didn't that work out neat?

This fallacious fable is nothing less than
THE SECRET ORIGIN OF GABRIEL STEIN!

So hang on to your hats unbelievers and embark on the epic odyssey that is the rise of Gabe!

http://www.untruetales.com/Pages/GabrielRising1.html

And as a special bonus feature for the fabled few followers of this backwoods blog, we'll be presenting Gabe's childhood chicken scratch from the forgotten files of his youth of yore. Check in every Monday through Friday, right here for new examples of Gabe's earliest artistic achievements.



































May the week bring you sunshine and sugarplums all along your merry way!

Ferdy

Ferdy, Ferdy, Ferdy, it's Ferrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdy!

I'm couch-bound and cavalier.

The Ferdy sketch:























Wunnafull Weeken ta wun n all!

Conversion Complete

And now, the compelling conclusion of....The Convert!

http://www.untruetales.com/Pages/Convert6.html

Which of course calls for a celebratory sketch, dontcha think?




















And tune in Monday for the kickoff of a brand new tale, Gabriel Rising!

Mister Twisty

The sun came out today. I can see some blue sky out the window. I've got a date tonight with a good lookin' girl with gorgeous hair. And my days of dancing for the man are drawing to a close.

I'll leave the dancing to Captain Fabulous.























Life. She is good.

Circle versus Square

Well, hello.

This fine day, I'd like to take the opportunity to draw your attention to the funny.

The funny can be found in this nifty little webcomic I stumbled upon called Circle versus Square by the man known simply as Wakcher.

It is the heart-rending story of an epic rivalry between two geometric shapes. It's kind of like the movie Legends of the Fall except without Brad Pitt or Anthony Hopkins or the kid from E.T.

Suffice it to say, it bring the funny.

A sample:


















So do check it out at:

Finally, lest I forget, the daily sketch:























Until tomorrow, I remain.
Sleepy.

Was it good for you?

Today The Convert reaches it's crushing climax.
Come take a peek:

Now only the denoument remains.

I learned that word in school.

Apropos, a sketch of studious student types:























Be back Thursday for the frenchalicious finale!

How Now Brown Mao

Greetings, people of Earth!

Welcome to the Untrue Tales blog of many colors.

This here blog serves as update central for Untrue Tales 

a webcomic about life and how to waste it:

http://www.untruetales.com

But it's also a sketchblog where I dump the contents of my scribblin' book every Monday through Friday to the sneers and disregard of my adoring unbelievers.

Since you were so kind as to stop by, here's a specialicious extra Sunday sketch spectacular:

Peace be with you, my small anthropomorphic friends.

The Big Three

So, I finally figured out how to add a hitcounter to the ol' blog-a-rolio and whaddayaknow!

I appear to have three readers.

Yep.

So big thanks to the unholy trinity! Without you I'd be talking to myself and I really don't need anymore of those kinds of "warning signs", thank you very much.

I do seem to be steadily gaining viewers of the comic itself though, which is the whole point of the dealie-o anyhow. I've been posting like a postman gone postal on all the webcomic related message boards I can find and so far it does seem to be drumming up a bit of interest.

So it's all good.

Anyways, a good weekend to you my friends.

And here is a sketch to send you on your merry weekend way:

The Conversion Continues

Feast your beady eyes on page 4 of The Convert!

http://www.untruetales.com/Pages/Convert4.html

And what the heck, here's a sketch too:



















Oh, that wily weekend is on it's way... the missus is out of town so it's time to break out the absinthe, chicken mcnuggets and Black Moon Rising.

Blessed oblivion, I fear thee not!

Inky Lady

It's midweek! Drudgery to the left of me, tedium to the right.

I get by with a little help from the over-rendered ladies.

























Hang on, Sloopy! The weekend is a'nearing!

Mish: Now with More Mash!

It's Tuesday. The light at the end of the tunnel shines weakly in the far distance.
O weekend, I dream of thee sweetly...

I look to the future. To beckoning sofas and oceans of beer, and I sketch the days away.

Have you accepted Untrue Tales as your personal savior?

It's not too late!

Click on page 3 of your virtual hymnal to witness the untruth:

http://www.untruetales.com/Pages/Convert3.html

And glory in the presence of the King and some dude who thinks he's Jesus:























Can I get a hallelujah?

Usammenhengende

That's the word of the day, neighbors!

Just rolls off the tongue, no?

It's like the Norwegian equivalent of "mellifluous" except it means something completely different and has seventy-two letters and is unpronounceable by Americans without the aid of sophisticated mechanical equipment.

It's a good word.

Here's some sketches:























Have a good weekend, chaps and chapelinas.

Thursday Conversion

It's the day before Friday and a new Convert page is up for your perusal:

http://www.untruetales.com/Pages/Convert2.html

Plus, a sketch of a laughing donkey.

It's a Girl!

Or a drawing of one anyways. The sketch of the day. This one has a Yahtzee connection rather than a Scrabble one.

Here you go:
























Well, this is a blog after all, so how about some meaningless blather?

Today is Wednesday. I like Wednesdays because it's that much closer to Friday. Also, I often eat a scrambled egg and smoked salmon sandwich on Wednesdays.
This makes me happy.
I am a simple fellow.

Until the morrow, my imaginary friends...
