Carl Hanson and John Sullivan are two iron-pumping men who begin a life-journey together. Their path will take them into scuffles in which they turn the tables on bashers, and other timelines where they compete in the ancient Olympics. They debuted on Jeff's Muscle Studio, my bodybuilding art site, and currently appear in 4 (more coming) self -published issues of Hearts & Iron, a web strip and in Desert Knight News. On the Strips page, you can also read Paul Bunyan and Ursus Major, A Werebear's Tale, two other strips I'm currently drawing and writing (Ursus also appears in DKN.) Enjoy the site, check out the store and purchase comics if you'd like.

What's New... Bears assemble! Characters I came up with and illustrated for Phurfest 2012 in Phoenix.           New strips! Heart on! more >   Mysteries of the cave... more > Bent Con 2011 photos are on the Press Page. More previews from the upcoming H & I #5... Some scenes from the Games, as the footraces begin and Ioannes and Kallikrates grapple. You may notice that they're wearing an unusual looking device; the ancient Olympic athletes competed nude, except for a leather strip around their foreskins called a kynodesme, sometimes attached to a waistband, which kept the penis from flopping about..
