These comics are part of my yet-to-be named comic series. They all pertain to bicycles and myself. I've been trying to draw one a day, but sometimes life gets in the way. Drawn with pens, tweaked ever so slightly in Photoshop.

A small comic I'm working on in my moleskine in preparation for a zine I have in mind. The second page is a work in progress, you can see it here. This page is basically done, I just need to ink in the "Not like us" at the bottom of it.

a long way to go on this one & suddenly find i need to build my stack of reference books beyond what i'd thought i'd need before going on any further. please pardon the delay in building this most complex description...
one thing i will say as i go along is that i refuse to include an errata list correcting Peters' errors in his own text, which would require a list at least as long as the index itself is likely to be, as execrable an example of "scholarship" as i'm likely to encounter in this entire bibliography of some 4ooo titles
