The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[Dick Tater]

Here are the first seven pages from my next book, to be titled "Diminishing Returns." Its about time travel, Robitussin abuse, madness, greed, anthropomorphic insects, Vincent Van Gogh, Prog Rock...basically every completely un-marketable subject you could put into a comic book. Depending on when I finish it, Look for it under a half full bag of Cheetos at your local comics store or growing mold in boxes next to the hot water heater in my basement.

Dude, I love your style. It has a real indy feel, but the coloring and shading show great polish.

How long is the story meant to be? Pages I mean.

Thanks alot! The gray tones came as an afterthought, because after inking the first three pages, I felt like they weren't "busy" enough. For the brushy stuff and the splats I use straight watercolors, and for most of the grays I use prismacolor double-sided markers in warm and cool grey.
I've got it scripted at 40 pages and i'm on page 17 now, so it'll be a while yet.

That looks like it was computer colored. Seriously.

I had to look at the pages again.

Keep us posted on your progress, and maybe we can publish your stuff digitally, or the intro to it.

We're going to get him a nice front page interview to pimp the book.

That's my friend who I've been trying to get to post his stuff here forever. Aren't those pages incredible?! You should see his other stuff - I have three of his books at my house that I'll show you. Which reminds me, we have one of his strips in the Anthology, coming soon...
