I submitted a drawing to Robert Goodin’s blog Covered, and was rejected.
So it’s getting posted here instead.
Here is the actual cover of Archie Meets the Punisher:
When I sat down to draw my own version, I said, “How can I make Archie look like more of a wiener?”
And my friend Dan Olson shot back, “You could actually draw him as a wiener!”
So I did. Thanks for the idea, dude!

A while back the Minneapolis cell of the Cartoonist Conspiracy did a jam comic starring ME. The themes were Star Trek, Irish Double Date, and Lupi Gets Punched in the Face by a Republican. Download the pdf from the Conspiracy website to see me get beat up:

The best part is, I really did have a head injury at the time!

Well, there’s been some nice buzz online since It’s All a Conspiracy!! came out in City Pages on Wednesday. People across the country are loving and/or hating us, and getting fired up for False Witness! Along with images from the City Pages story, the art inked by Danno Klonowski featured on biasedliberalmedia.com AND Ken Avidor’s cover art for the first issue have been showing up on dozens of blogs.
There’s an awesomely titled write-up on Wonkette:
Bachmann Comix Will Feature Sexy Flying Imams, Other Things
Write-up by Eric Kleefeld on Talking Points Memo:
Coming Soon: Michele Bachmann — The Comic Book!
And The Wall Street Journal picked it up from TPM:
Bachmann Comic Debuts!
We’re on Heidi MacDonald’s The Beat:
Female Farce: Michele Bachmann comic
A nice post by Kevin Cannon at Big Time Attic:
Hey Michele, What’s So Funny?
A nice post by Kevin Melrose at Robot 6:
False Witness! is no Female Force, that’s for sure
The Minnesota Independent:
New comic book takes aim at Bachmann, Minnesota media
Delaware Liberal? Someone in Delaware thinks we’re clever:
Michele Bachmann Gets A Comic Book
I love the image on Mock, Paper, Scissors:
Bachmann-the-Nut is in the comics…
Comics Alliance apparently went the extra mile to crop a panel I inked that hasn’t been reposted a dozen times:
“False Witness”: The Michele Bachmann Comic
This list could go on and on…

It’s finally here–the preview of False Witness is in this week’s City Pages!
The City Pages story is called “It’s All a Conspiracy.” It was written and drawn by Bill Prendergast, a contributor to Dump Bachmann, and inked by me. If you’re in the Twin Cities, be sure to grab a copy…it’ll be easy to spot Jason Gorski’s slick cover art on the newsstands. And keep an eye out for the first issue of False Witness this summer!

If you’re wondering why I haven’t been updating very often, here’s why: I’m working on something awesome. A comic called False Witness about Michele Bachmann’s career. You’ve probably seen her in the news. She’s the crazy congresswoman from Minnesota who thinks the media should do “an exposé” on Congresspersons with “Anti-American” views.
Lots of talented Minnesotans are uniting against her. Bill Prendergast, a journalist and contributor to Dump Bachmann, is writing and drawing the comics; Dan Olson, Danno Klownowski and myself are inking them; and Ken Avidor did the cover art for the first issue. And if that’s not cool enough, there will be a preview in City Pages in a week! Inked by me; cover art by Jason Gorski. This is comics journalism at it’s best, so be sure to check it out!

This is my submission for Big Funny, a celebration of the newspaper comics of a century ago, when they were bigger and more inventive. Mine is based on The Outbursts of Everett True, which is my favorite old-timey comic because the title character reminds me of my favorite college professor. To read Everett True and other old comics, check out Stwallskull and Barnacle Press.

Hey all, I did a story for the anthology Super Fantastica Comix, published by Dan Olson of Bewildered Kid.
Here’s a preview of my comic (click to enlarge):
Lots of smart and talented folks contributed to it. Some of the comics had me laughing out loud! If you’d like to see more, you can order online at the Bewildered Kid Store.
