The Comics of Normal Bob
The Sheeples - A comic I started in 2006 illustrating my hate mailers along with my favorite quotes from their letters.
Satan's Salvation - A strip I've been illustrating since 2002 that explores the love/hate relationship between Jesus, Satan & me.
Creatures of Neptune - My bizzare pen & ink freakshow dated as far back as 1994.
|
It was in 1994
that I got on my "freak kick". I'd dabbled in freaks prior,
but now I was ready to go full scale, no holds barred, permanent
ink and everything. I
got another sketchbook determined to fill it with my very own collection
of human oddities. There are many
more of these creations to be seen at Neptune. |
The Stickman
1/92
| I realize
that this is early, but it clearly pertains to this section.
This is my first nude self portrait. I was so pleased with the
way this turned out, but felt at the time that I couldn't share
it with anyone.
Now
I couldn't care less. |
|
Earth Died
Screaming
12/92
| OK, I
realize that this was done a lot earlier as well, but I couldn't
find another place to put this oddity.
It's
of a dream that I'd had. It was untitled until I heard Tom
Waits' "Earth Died Screaming". |

The Two Headed
Octopus Embryo, Erdnahn and Bobo with Shrinking Violet
7/22/94
This is
the first freak ink drawing that I drew, and I was so utterly
pleased with it.
When
I showed it to my brother he said, "You have to do more
of these!"
And that's what I did. |
|
The
Strongest Girl in the World
8/94
A
further mutation of the original Madonna
Brando I'd drawn years earlier.
That's
the Stickman in the background. |
|
Three
Eyed Killer
8/94
This
was a horrible dream that I had about a murderer that was
featured on the news with 3 eyes. I woke up, wrote it down
and drew it the next day. |
|
Stickman
8/94
Another
go at the Stickman. This time he's being teased by a dangling
pencil. |
|
Erdnahn and
the
Dancing Fish
8/94
| They'd
get him going by dangling a fish over his head. He hates fish,
especially when they're dangling over his head. |
|
Ernahn's Distant
Gaze,
and Cowlick
11/94
| Erdnahn
is just the perfect subject. Fun to draw, silly looking, and
everything that he does is a work of art. |
|
Buggy Forefinger
and a Dead Clown
2/95
| Buggy
stumbles accross the murder scene of a clown. |
|
Zinker Duckdrop
and his Enchanted Dog Torso
2/95
| I went
a little overboard on the kooky name, but I've never drawn a
better dog torso. |
|
Goldblatt Superhead
2/95
| He'd tell
you that the name was not referring to what was between his
ears. Then
he'd laugh, drool and wipe it off on his arm. |
|
Heads
3/95
| I had
this dream that I was at the premier of a new David Lynch film.
The curtains opened, the intro began and then I woke up. This
was all that I could remember. |
