I had a hard time deciding what I was going to do for 1134 Comix this week. I planned to make a new News from the Crypt episode. There were a few things that popped up in the news this past week that I though worthy of lampooning, but I just couldn’t decide. I might be moving away from making commentary through online comics. I’ve found myself much more focused lately on writing in general and other 1134 Press stuff. And I’ve been feeling the urge to get back to more drawing for fun, rather than going for jokes. I’m sure I’ll be making a comic about some politician before I know it, though. I’m all over the place.
I woke up today without a proper idea for 1134 Comix. I was going to skip this week. After putting on this Batman t-shirt, however, I had my idea. I always liked drawing Batman. He’s one of my favorite DC Comics heroes, and I think he’s fun to draw. I tend to go for the big, super muscle-bound version of Batman when I draw him. I also like the blue and gray costume to draw. I do like the black costume with the armor and everything, but if I’m drawing for fun, I’m going gray and blue.
This week I wanted to do another video on drawing cartoons. More specifically, original characters from the 1134 Comix pantheon. But which character to do … that was the question. A number of weeks ago I posted an episode of “News from the Crypt” that featured a character called, “Mr. Pillow.” Obviously, the character is based on Mike Pillow, famed conspiracy theorist and pillow man. I recorded the drawing at the time, but I never did anything with the video. I figured this week would be good as any to post up the creation of Mr. Pillow. Besides, the video I had previously started for this week went wildly off the rails—I think it’s turning into something different than intended (which could be good or bad).
I hope you like this short drawing video!

Halloween, oh Halloween, my favorite time of year. It’s that “spooky season” where I can’t help to make stuff featuring 1134 Comix’ original character, Blakbone. Those of you who have followed this blog for a long time are likely familiar with Blakbone. If not, that’s cool, you can catch up on his story by selecting “Blakbone” from the categories menu.
This time around I don’t have a new chapter to his ongoing story (though one will come about at some point, I’m sure). That said, you’ll probably see him pop back up with Grim Reaper again by the end of the month. This week, however, I thought I would do something similar to last week’s post and make another drawing video.
