> I thought it'd be funny to see Melvin with a bloody dead mouse bashed into his inner ear.

It hurts so bad that his puffed-up black eye is bursting out of its crust!  Oh, and mouse blood is draining down his neck and into his shirt.  Hahahaha tasty!
 > Night Mission Pinball (Bruce Artwick, subLOGIC, 1982) was my personal favorite pinball game on the Apple II......but, boy, sometimes it would REALLY piss me off!

What would Melvin do?  Beat the computer into a heap and get busted, that's what.

This is a rare Melvin in that I never did draw the final couple frames of mutilation - your imagination can just run wild all over it!

 > This was one of the first Melvins where I used felt tip markers to color them in.

The deal with this Melvin was basically that I was playing a lot of Black Sabbath in high school and got in trouble for blasting my boom box everywhere I went.

Since the school bus trip in the morning was over an hour, I used to sit in the back seat and crank Metallica and Accept all the time. And Black Sabbath, of course.

The metal connoseiurs out there will recognize the song being played as Looks That Kill by Motley Crue.
 > Occasionally I had my friends come up with Melvin ideas, so that could explain why this one's a little weak.

I usually go for really hardcore, brutal destruction of Melvin, like dismemberment, head splitting, leg snapping... that sort of thing.

Man, Melvin should just not ever talk back to his dad. But I make sure he never learns.
 > This one is actually titled Melvin VS Pop, but that's basically what every Melvin is anyway - and this one deals with a serious topic : SMOKING.

Okay, so I didn't deal with it seriously. Heh. Basically, my ENTIRE reason for drawing this comic was to see how fast I could demolish Melvin... it only took 10 frames!
 > Man, October was the month for drawing Melvins back in 1984, eh?

I used to ride a Mongoose BMX for several years - I loved that damn bike! Then some a-hole stole it when I was at an arcade in Roseville, CA. The arcade was called Video Bob's.

Anyway, here's what would happen if Melvin showed his dad some BMX stunts...
 > Basically, I wanted to create the most disgusting Melvin I could think of... and this is the one. And I just had to have it take place at Softdisk, just to top it off.

For once on this oxygen orb we call Earth, a petition actually WORKED! For over a year people have begged for this comic -and now it's here! Get it while it's hot! (in his mouth)
 > This one's real quick and simple - 6 frames and the beating is in the 5th. I think my Mom left the house for work one day and it inspired me to draw this one.

I was going to college in 1987 and living with my parents.  I am not embarassed!
 > My stepdad was in the Korean War. 'Nuff said.

Okay, I haven't said enough. Actually, my stepdad never talked about his time in the war so I just had to imagine what it would have been like to be fed up with listening to war stories.
