   John's Blurbs
About me:
I think of my writing as "bubble gum for the brain". I may not be the greatest writer in the world, but hopefully reads will find my books to be fun diversions that make them think a bit.

My comic Sam 3.14, PI is appearing on Zuda this month. Please check it out and vote for it if you like it tell your friends. (If you don't like it tell your enemies...)

I'm a humor / sf/ fantasy writer with a Master's degree in Human Behavior. In the past I have written zillions (well, thousands) of gags for syndicated comics and comedians (including: Rugrats, Grimmy, Marmaduke, Bound and Gagged, Dennis the Menace, The tonight show and, Joan River's old TV show.) I also write my own syndicated comic, Working Daze for United Media. Working Daze appears in papers all over the world (well the US, Scotland, Canada and Taiwan) and has a regular web following with over 30,000 regular readers. I have been the weekly cartoonist for Geek.com and have sold cartoons or gags to hundreds of journals, magazines and web sites. I also have been a regular contributor to Nickelodeon magazine writing Fairly Odd Parents, Rugrats and Jimmy Neutron comic books.

One of my newer novels The Frost Haired Vixen

My newest novel The Blue Haired Bombshell hits stores on ..h.

My comic strip is Working Daze

I've sold a couple of movies but none of them have been made yet. I just wrote a new movie called Life Long Losers, that it looks very promising that it will get made this summer.

I voted for you at Zuda. The two ahead of you did not seem that interesting to me. As with the style of the new artwork, even the comics that have had the same artist for 20 or more years change over time, have you ever seen the first year of Garfield? Scott does far better then I could, I can’t do cartooning, I do more fine art. In time it will come.

I’ve held many office jobs, several times I’ve said “I’ve worked at that place.” Or “I know him.” Like Roy, he’s one of my friends. What’s that say about me?...

Ok, so You've restored my faith in the ol' Grab and Go method of getting books from the Library. I yoink'd The Bluehaired Bombshell 2 days ago. Got yelled at by my boss for reading at work, and loved every page of that book.

I read your comic on zuda.com and I liked it a lot. I hope you win. I love the way that you add such clever pieces of humor in your over all comic strips. Good luck.

Happy New Year! I'm an avid follower of Working Daze and can now hunt down your books for further reading pleasure.
Here's hoping 2008 makes your best production year of the past seem your worst!

Thanks John.
I will keep you in mind. On this particular project I am a Producer and that is my primary role - I have to line up certain things for the set, etc. This is not my production. Keep in touch. Never know what will work out in the future!!

Help!
HARVE somehow bridged the gulf between your novels and my mind and now will not let me compose comments in peace.-- Axon

I was sitting here for like 10 minutes trying to figure out how you knew I read your books. I began to seriously think of some Big Brother scenarios until I realized I listed you under some of my favorite authors. Haha. Congrats on another book, I just picked it up the other day.

Hi John,

Thank you for the add (yes, almost everyone does it, I thought I'd do it too). Now if only we can get your strip in the Post-Dispatch somehow.

Best of everything.

Hello John, storywar.com has turned into a real FULL BLOWN WAR! There's a fiery debate going on aboutr whether CHAPTER submissions should be accepted or not, with some really heated arguments.. so I've added a Section of the Forum especially for this topic... what do you think??
Shadow Ferret, Fantasy Writer

Your comment area looked a little sparse, so I thought I'd perk it up with something witty.

However, I couldn't think of anything witty so this will have to do.
