When
I was just entering adolescence, I was going through some "mental
things" and, yes, I did lots of bad things that I never
got caught doing. But one healthy outlet for my... energy...
was to draw comics -- violent comics. So, I invented a
little character and named him Melvin. Melvin has a Dad
whose job is to beat the shit out of him... sometimes as fast
as possible (I only had about 15 frames to set up the situation,
have Melvin do something dumb or innocent, then have his Dad
completely destroy him).
As
I was drawing the comics, I felt like I was taking my aggression
out on Melvin when, in fact, Melvin was actually me.
And Melvin's Dad's physical beatings really just represented
the mental "beatings" I felt I was taking at home.
Yeah,
it was a weird situation, but when you read these comics, don't
think about any of that psycho mumbo-jumbo and just take it
at face value: Melvin is a little
kid who needs a complete beating on a regular basis.
Oh
yeah, some of the comics got really sick, so if you're squeamish
or don't want to think any worse of me (heh), then just mosey
on back to the main page!
BTW:
I drew about 60 of these Melvin comics and made a few live action
videos. I'll eventually post all the comics -- here is
just a sampling.
