#PortfolioDay! I'm Dan Schkade, a comic book writer/artist working in crime, superhero and comedy books. I write and draw the daily FLASH GORDON strip, my 1,000-page mystery series LAVENDER JACK is being collected by Dark Horse, and I'm finally reading BERSERK and it's really good
Cover for LAVENDER JACK VOL. 1 — written and drawn by me, colored by Jenn Manley Lee, published by Webtoon and collected by Dark Horse Comics Flash and a mechanic he met five seconds ago face down a rampaging machine in a FLASH GORDON strip written, drawn and colored by me, published by King Features Syndicate A cover I recently did for STARTLING TALES OF SANTA CLAUS, colored by Nick Filardi. It's honestly just included here because I like it A one-page dada procedural I did for Make a Bad Comic Day (unsuccessful, turns out I can't) entitled MARY KOLACHE, ESQ

Click on that fourth picture and buy the Plague House page that has my name hidden in it! (Because I also have a tax bill and a falling down fence, and softball for my kid..🙃) Someday the first collaboration between me and Dave will be historically important, OK?

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

Even if contacting your representatives feels pointless (South Dakota resident here), take the time to voice your opinion and if you can, request a response. You deserve to at least hear them explain why they won't oppose the president threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.

I dreamt of the beach (1/4)
Page one: text on black background, “WAKE UP!”. Eyes open, a baby sea turtle with an eggshell helmet says, “you need to wake up!”Page 2: helmet turtle says to a green baby sea turtle, who is waking up out off his egg, “we need to get moving.” CRASH! A cormorant breaks through the ceiling of their nest hole. Helmet turtle says MOVE!Page 3: “when you’re out there, beeline to the water. Don’t stop. Don’t be a hero. Godspeed.” The helmet turtle kicks baby green turtle out the hole off a cliff onto the beach below.Page 4: baby green turtle lands on the sand. The distance between him and the water is quite large. Another baby sea turtle is being devoured by a seagull and is screaming for help.

This morning's warmup. Feeling like I can actually paint again.
A roughly painted image of an Ork from Warhammer 40k - a grossly overmuscled deep green figure with a yawning maw like that of a gelada baboon. They sport a wildly adorned horned helmet with a red cascading mane and are thrusting the silhouette of a heavy gun into the foreground, with the muzzle flash forming a four point cross as it spits out shells. Superimposed over the image is text in MS Mincho font, in white and all capitals - IT'S GONNA BE ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a man in a tie looks miserable, head in hands, while sitting at a bus stop in the city. He’s thinking, “can’t believe I have work today…” Panel 2: he looks up at the city to find it ablaze, actively being destroyed by the Cloverfield monster/kaiju. Panel 3: the man looks off to the side and makes a mildly surprised expression with a cute subtle smile.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a green heron points to the ski excitedly while a space shuttle flies away. The heron says, “the humans are all leaving! Panel 2: the heron continues, “we can finally enjoy the unaltered beauty of the earth!” Panel 3: the heron stands smiling. Behind it a group of beavers wearing hard hats and safety gear are building a giant log structure. Two of them are looking at a blueprint, another in the back is using a chainsaw.

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut
For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere.
'Blessed are the merciful' in a courtroom?
'Blessed are the peacemakers' in the Pentagon? Give me a break!

Panel 3: one of the other monkeys, now looking super buff and badass, grabs him by the arm to save him heroically. “Monkey Stronger Together.”
