I’m conditioning the drawing thumb by doing sketch cards for Draw or Die’s Promptober. They’re fun, they’re getting me ready for the con in 2 weeks and it’s loosening up my hand. Sorry for the lack of pages.
I’m struggling, guys. My anxiety and depression are getting the best of me. Add to that the hand pain, and I am struggling. I feel very lost right now. I’ll be back as soon as I feel like what I’m doing matters at all.
Apologies.
After a long, long week of my main site issues, my host escalated the problem and got it all fixed up. They ended up changing the url and screwing up my image links. All fixed, now.
Because of all this, i spent way too much time fixing what i could on this main site, but also preparing my backup WordPress site, just in case they couldn’t fix it.
Now, with that all out of the way, i can get back to drawing! Sorry for the delay!
My main site is broken and the host keeps making it worse. You can check out my mirrors at:

Phineus: Teen Wizard is now available on Amazon as a book or on Kindle! Woot!
Inks are comic along on page 4. I got distracted by website stuff and the cover for Teen Wizards TPB. This will be up this week.
So, I’ve had a mirror over at Drunk Duck since 2006, left with the Platinum Studios/Wevolt debacle back in the early ’10s andgot set back up, there a couple years back, but have largely ignored it. but, no more!
DD has a great community, great comics and a nice interface, so I’ve decided to be way more engaged over there, going forward. That said, I spent a lot of time last week tweaking my comics there, making them look awesome, uploading pages and setting up new comics over there, so I didn’t get a lot of time to draw. No Magician for Hire page, today.
I should have a new page up later this week, so look out for it!
You can check out all the comics I have over at Drunk Duck, and all the comics I assist on, too over at: https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/user/phinmagic/
Read me, here or read me, there. Just read!!

An oldie but a goodie. I’ll have these as Tee-shirts again soon at my Spreadshirt!
I need to defeat the funk.
Real life has been nuts and my progress has been halted.
I’m also bored of the M&G story, right now and with 8 pages, left, I can’t hop back in. I’m a moody little bitch.
I need to work on another story to get out of the funk. I may start on my next bonus story, “The Ghost of Alistair Crowley”, or may shelf the M&G and hop back onto Magician for Hire and doing the “Barcrawl of the Damned”.
I’m going to work on some scripts and decide where I’m going. It’ll come soon. So sorry about this.
More posts to come..

The Phineus Role Playing Game: Backwaters of Mysticism!
An endlessly detailed and flexible tabletop RPG, created by my buddy John Burris and myself in college and fleshed out over the years!
The Complete Phineus Volume 1 (3rd Edition)
The first volume of the long running comic series. Phineus and Sara Beam fight monsters, vampires and more. She shoots things. He casts spells.
Includes the first 6 issues of the series, plus a brand new exclusive story, A Nice Day for a White Wedding, not seen in other editions!
Complete Phineus Volume 1 :3rd Edition is off for approval at Amazon! Been tied up doing admin stuff, on books and the site and my Spreadshop, as well as my RPG for Amazon, for the last week or so. More comics to commence very soon! Sorry for the delay!
I’m 52 years old and it’s taken me this long to start reading Discworld, by Terry Pratchett. I’m mad at myself. These books are great! I drive 2 hours round trip a day for work, so I’ve started listening to books instead of music. I’ve read about 6 or his 40+ books, so far.
Fun stuff. I love these guys. They’re Pictsies. 6 inch tall, Scottish soccer hooligans with swords. What’s not to love?!
Out of context, these strips make no sense, but it’s part of a stream of consciousness jam web comic from way back. I joined in because Highway 13’s artist Les McClaine was doing it. There’s a lot of weird fun and awesome art. Go and check it out!
This one turned out too cool to only see it obscured with a Phineus overlap and cover matter.
The Complete Phineus Volume 6 up for sale at Amazon , NOW!
The Complete Phineus Volume 8 is available for Kindle and Paperback from Amazon!

Here is the cover for the Third edition of Volume 1 of my Complete Phineus collection. There were two versions of the trade paperback, before. This is a recreation of the first trade I did way back in 1999, when I thought I might be done with Phineus. I was wrong.

All volumes afterwards, already have bonus stories included in them. This book, as well as all my Trades, will be available on Amazon.

Consider helping me out by supporting me on Amazon, and buying either the print version or Kindle version of any of my Trades!
Thanks in advance,
Barry
OG Weirdlings. This was a commission for Brian Babyok, early on. He’d revamp the cast and premise for when we eventually did our Weirdlings strip. Wow. 1996.
These guys are a cross between Cthulhu Star Children, genestealers and Mind Flayers. They’re fun.

I am so grateful that I’ve found my mojo, again! After 6 months being ill and losing focus and drive, I’m back! I’ll be doing at least 2 pages a week, for the foreseeable future, or until I screw up.
Hang in there, with me. As usual all my stuff goes up on my Patreon first, usually weeks ahead. So, help a brother out and subscribe!
So, the new schedule for the foreseeable future will be as follows:
New free comics go live every Monday around midnight. These comics are posted, along with progress shots, on my Patreon $1 tier, weeks in advance. The current storyline has 2 chapters to conclude, before “Barcrawl of the Damned” & “Boy Wizard” resume.
New Bonus stories are about to resume. These Appear on my Patreon $2 tier as I complete steps. When the full page is finished, it will be published here for Patrons to read, as well.
Hope this all makes sense. Please considering becoming a Patron, or as little as $1-$2 a month. It really means a lot to me, and you get all kinds of expanded or exclusive content. It’s a win-win.
