Make a friend day...

Episode 18: Vulture

Its make a friend day on Cheap Fun!
Special guest stars sit in at the Shenandoah Studio.
Have you met the sound guy at that studio?  Kind of a prick.  I'd like to give him the what for…  what for?

Anyway…  my wife Katherine and two friends Irum Javed and Jessica Wilson lend their voices to my weird ass story.  They are great!  Listen to the show here, below these words I am typing, or go here, here, or here.

Sneak a peek!

Episode #13 Mister Carlson Gets Deported on Cheap Fun! The Short Story Podcast up this Sunday September 1st.  You won't hear from me again until I'm a married man...

Here's a sneaky peek at the story:

Mr. Carlson was infuriated.  He had more than proven his worth to this country. He had been President and Chief Executive Officer of the Common Bankshares, Inc. since ‘73, and chairman of the board since 1988, among other titles.  Surely this was not the resume of a criminal.  Yes, he had his car impounded in New Hampshire a few years ago after he was found asleep on the side of the road, but there was never anything proven.  Sure he had totaled the Mercedes one summer evening in a rainstorm when he and Millie slid down an embankment into a gushing stream, but Millie had drank more than he and it was the fourth of July, they were entitled!

Fun is terrible.

The band I mean!!!!!!!

Fun is FUN!  I like fun.  Studio day is fun.  Lots of work in progress.  Let's take a look see................
From left to right:

-Scottie Pippen's former Miami residence. 

-Two abstracts.  Simpson #1 and Simpson #2.  I forget which is which.

-On the easel another abstract.  No title yet.  Usually abstracts are named after jazz related stuff.  How about Kenny G?

-Becky is being creepy back in the back.  Making a poster appearance soon.

-And finally a super yacht.  Much better than a regular yacht.

Made in the USA!!!!

here's a sneaky peek at "Made in the USA", pg 11 (unedited)

BOO! ARRRGGGHH! PODCAST!

OOOOooooOOOoooOOoOOOO!

This month's story is "The Writer's Ghost."  Scary stuff.  Not in the creepy clown sort of way.  More in the crushing weight of life choices sort of way.  There's also some animal abuse.  Yikes.


here's some text from the story to get your fruit juice fermented:

The writer's ghost speaks to you from beyond the grave.
Of course its your choice if you want to listen.
He goes around moaning and you're certainly not wrong to question his credibility.
If there is truth to his pain it's fruitless and everlasting.
If he appears to reach a climax relief will be fleeting.
Soon enough he will find something else to moan about.
And no amount of prayer will shut him up.


LOL! ;-)

ZZIIT, ZZAT

Happy stories for everybody!  Check out this months episode of CHEAP FUN, the short story podcast.  
There's ice cream...

Here's a quote to get you pumped:

"... he might have floated all the way down to New Orleans before drowning.  Whole new varieties of pain entered his mind.  Sharks in the Gulf.  Assholes on jet skis.  Fire spewing over water.  Tar and feathers.  Crabs picking at the bones."

Some light-hearted listening for a fine day.

(paraphrased)
Jed- Hey I listened to  your last podcast while I was on the toilet.
Me- Are you sure that wasn't the sound of you shitting?

Its good stuff guys.  Real high brow.  So sit down.  Have a shit.  Listen to a story.

TEENY-TINY ITSY-BITSY-TEENY-WEENIE MICRO PSYCHO FICTION

The sixth edition of the seven part series following a dwarf in an epic adventure in public service.
Actually a failed attempt at micro fiction, this story is a journey into madness!!!!!

There's a star man waiting in the sky...

I have been creating new characters for The Grey Zone comic, one of which is this sexy beast.  Space Tom is an alien who is in love with Dr. Elly Tarsus and tries to impregnate her in various ways.  Not sure if he'll end up keeping the devil tail, but I like it in this drawing.

By the way I just discovered that there is a movie called "The Grey Zone" which is based on events that happened in Auschwitz.  Awkward.  Not really sure if I'll do anything about that.

NRA BFF!

Here is a page taken out of the CHEAP FUN comic book I'm working on.
