| sockman’s salvation | April 19th, 2008 |
My brother Phil and his wife Ami just visited for a week. No pee-fights this time around,
It stars characters crafted by my brother in our childhood - Sockman, Detective Skelly, Robot Egg, and Ninja Thrasher!
These “salvation army” battle scenes were doubtless inspired by our father’s plumbing occupation

Hey Craig! I was just thinking about you tonight since it was prom in the Megapolis of Mosinee and I remember a” few” years back when we all went to prom and you and Aaron wore your “Moo Deal” shirts! Good times!! I am really happy that you are doing so well and I wish you the best! Jocelyn

Wow.
This makes me feel great inside. I have often asked myself what the Salvation Army would look like. I guess I expected something more religious :]

Wow! I’d really like to read that Salvation Army Wars saga! I want to know more about Robot-Egg who didn’t get dialog this time.
This a good family meeting, unlike those my family does. They don’t even know what a comic is!
Cheers, Craig.

I was an only child for a long time, but I had cousins around my age who were practically brothers. We never collaborated because all they wanted to draw was Kaazam fan art. No joke. They burned it later, too.

The return of — NINJA THRASHER! Ahh… Ally Comix. ^_^
Next time WE do a jam, I’d love to do the same thing — feature our “classic” characters. I’d be a kick!
Thanks for the smile, bro.

Side note… But I really hope you tour with Habibi. I’m having a hard time bribing people to get me your autograph at Stumptown and Portland is just too far a drive from Chicago, haha.

No photos of the pee fight please when it does happen.
Just want to add my praise for “Blankets”. I recently read it and stumbled onto your blog. Very interested to see what you have next.

Craig: I met Phil
and Ami last November at the Joe Sacco signing in the Twin Cities, and they were wonderful hosts at a time where I really needed it. I cannot thank them enough for the good fortune of meeting them at that time.
I’ll see you in a couple of days

alright, i know this is waaaay off topic but i think you should go visit Wisconsin in the next few weeks because Johnny Depp is filming a movie there right now. (maybe you can meet each other and take pictures–hint hint). Anyway, i’m doing a project on Blanktes where i make a game board (11th grade). I can’t wait to present it, but i still have to write a paper to go along with it, which is why i’m still up. well. better get crackin!
More Robot Egg!

Thanks for the blog updates, Mr Thompson.
Looking at the jam comic images is really what I needed to keep me goin today, (inspiration and emotion-wise)

I love that photo at the top; my sister and I have one single thing in common (dance) that when we do together, brings us together like nothing else…I love that all siblings seem to have some sort of similar connection.

Don’t apologize–this blog reader, for one, found this post delightful. I’d love to see more Salvation Army Wars.

This reminds me of the days when my best friend, Josh, and I used to draw epic G.I. Joe battles on giant sheets of graph paper in the school library. Those were good times. Of course, none of our doodles were as creative or clean as yours. Keep up the amazing work!
