I drew a #BallpointAdventures today! It's about the government shutdown. I wonder what Al Qaeda is doing today...

Ballpoint Adventures for April 11, 2006: Maybe Barbie is Really Progressive After All?

As a white guy I've gotten messed with by non-whites over the years--less so these days but when I was a kid and even in college, people assumed I was easily frightened by "the other". In some cases I was, because I was stupid, but over time, I came to be afraid of very little. Again, it's really about the neighborhood or context of the person that determines how afraid of or cautious around a person I am. These days, a guy in a business suit raises a bigger red flag to me.

Ballpoint Adventures for April 10, 2006: Barbie experiences real fear.

Lots of folks *think* they're progressive.

Ballpoint Adventures for April 9, 2006: Barbie Asks Bulah Why White Folks are so Afraid of Her.

It's a mystery to me why people let skin color determine their fear-level. For me it's more about what kind of neighborhood you're in. Any ethnicity can be scary in the right neighborhood--black, latino, and yes, even white folks can turn to violence and crime if they're desperate enough.

Ballpoint Adventures for April 8, 2006: Billy and Barbie talk about "the other"

In 2006 the idea of a president with an African name was pretty unbelievable even to progressives. How far we've come... seriously. I'm not even being sarcastic!

Ballpoint Adventures for April 7, 2006: Billy and Barbie find something else to fear!

I wrote this back when Obama was first being talked about as a possible future presidential candidate. I loved how subtextual politicians and reporters became with their racism. This is what I was trying to capture with this storyline.

Ballpoint Adventures for April 6, 2006: Billy and Barbie are too smart to be afraid

Like terrorists with no resources, aliens that are millions of years away just aren't much of a threat.

Ballpoint Adventures for April 5, 2006: Billy and Barbie discover the catch with space travel

Some aliens are patient, I guess!

Ballpoint Adventures for April 4, 2006: Billy looks a gift Xbox in the mouth.

This is what I'd do to an Xbox if an alien gave one to me.

Ballpoint Adventures for April 3, 2006: Billy is easily distracted during alien invasions

I swear, if aliens promise everyone an X-Box, I bet we'd see a LOT of humans ready and willing to welcome our new alien overlords!

Ballpoint Adventures for April 2, 2006: Barbie was right about alien tech!

Hey, we got Manhattan for some beads, right?

Ballpoint Adventures for April 1, 2006: Barbie must stop Billy from killing an alien!

Yes, when aliens finally visit us, they will have three legs and really advanced gaming tech!

Ballpoint Adventures for July 12, 2012: The Last New Ballpoint for a While

Sometimes I feel fictional.

But this is the last Ballpoint for a while because I need to focus on putting together the first BALLPOINT ADVENTURES compilation! You can still check out retro-Ballpoints every night at midnight NYC-time.

Ballpoint Adventures for March 31, 2006: Barbie gets her wish!

I still don't know how to spell "ax". Is it "ax" or "axe"? **Please don't mistake this alien for the alien in the current storyline in new Ballpoint Adventures comics--check the date to keep your plotlines straight! Thanks and sorry for any confusion**

Ballpoint Adventures for July 11, 2012: Mr. Alien describes what America will be like under Alien rule

Not sure what I can add to this one! I guess it's my fantasy to see aliens arrive and give us my idea of utopia. :) We sure won't get there on our own!

Ballpoint Adventures for March 30, 2006: Billy knows what kind of alien tech he'd want!

I think average American's imagination is pretty stunted and it wouldn't surprise me if a cool game system would be the best the average American could come up if asked what they'd like to see aliens give us.

Ballpoint Adventures for July 10, 2012: Billy wonders one thing about Mr. Alien...

I think either women or aliens should definitely take over this planet. Either group can't do much worse than the Earth's current "leaders".
