It’s All About Tony Murphy
Hooray hooray hooray for Tony Murphy and his newly Washington Post Writers Group syndicated strip, It’s All About You!
I met Tony via Mike Lynch at the Chicago Reubens two years ago where we discussed “The Electric Company” late into the evening.
The strip ran…
…for two years in Boston and New York’s free Metro newspapers before being picked up by The Washington Post Writers Group.
Wow! This is so great! Hoo-hoo! Congrats, Tony!!
(And thanks to Charles and Rod for the tip and the link!)

The Final “Knight School”s
After thumbing through some more old stuff, I found two more strips of my high school comic strip, “Knight School.”
Here’s another with Lose-a-Lot and the wizard, who I apparently named Wizzy (again, click on the images for much larger versions):
That’s one badly forced joke. But you gotta love all that wrinkling Zip-a-Tone!
Here’s the last strip, which, apparently, was never completed:
I remember the idea being that the king of the land was this tiny little guy. The joke looks weak now, but, again, for a high school sophomore…
Anyway, that’s it for “Knight School.”

“Knight School” – Original Strip From 1986
I was cleaning up the ol’ office yesterday to make more room for Legos, and ran across some old photo albums and stuff I’d put aside to go back in the crawlspace.
But before I do, I found a bunch of old stuff I thought I’d share.
Here’s a strip I did in high school entitled “Knight School.” (You can click on each image to get a much larger look.)
The first one centers around the main character, Sir Lose-a-lot, and the kingdom’s smart-alecky dragon:
Gotta love all that white-out and Zip-a-Tone, and not a bad gag for a high school sophomore.
Here’s another; a try at a pantomime strip:
The gag is supposed to be that Lose-a-lot can’t hit the center of the target, and that the wizard helps him by magically creating sort of a crosshair thingy on the lance.
Not a very good gag, and the art is only so-so; especially that horse! Good lord!
OK, one last one with the dragon again:
Again, kinda… meh… but not too bad for a 15-year-old kid in small town Iowa.
That’s it for old stuff for now, but I found a bunch more I’ll share soon!
