Alternative Comics The Mad Scientist

HEY APATHY! Surreal Comics

An unfinished comic page in which a demented scientist experiments on himself. Having devised a solution capable of unleashing the most powerful of evils, the doctor is determined to wield the energy. He has grown tired of military experiments and human specimens and thirsts for something more hideously thrilling. Shortly after the injection the patient dissolves physically melting into a puddle of gore on the floor, yet instantly is reconstituted with terrifying force as one of the worst creatures in existence… himself! 8.5 x 11 sketchbook comic from the slowly evolving HEY APATHY! web comics.


 The web comics are a bunch of shorts based on the characters, themes and imaginary landscape featured in the full length HEY APATHY! alternative comics. I’ve got 17 pages like this one done, without the lettering, but haven’t got the time to finish and post them properly so I’ll start that up in the fall or early winter ( whenever the animation is complete) . The only concern I have about stock piling these comics is that it gives me an opportunity to censor the works as the fables progress. I already feel displeased with some of the earlier pages but am going to try and resist editing them out. I feel the possibility of re-examination can detract from the experiment of a daily surreal comic because some of the disorderly weirdness that makes life so interesting might get cut out. I’ll do my best to keep all the comics and am looking forward to doing a daily online this winter.
