I'm a dude and I like cartoons and just drawing whatever while having fun doing it.
You can view all of these cartoons & comics & some extra art at http://prowlingstarward.deviantart.com. Everything here is double-posted there.

The #1 thing I hate to see on comic sites is some news item where the author is apologizing for a lack of updates. On that note, there is, and will be, no update schedule for SUPER-HE. This is strictly for fun.
You can anonymously leave your opinions, criticisms and praises in the "Episode Notes" page, and pretty much anywhere that you see a "Leave a Comment" or "Comments (x)" link. If you would just like to say hello there's a "Guestbook" comment thread over to the right.
I usually use a non-photo blue pencil to draw up most of the comic, then use a brush with ink. I don't use graphite pencils anymore due to their messy quality. Ink is just that much darker, and more definitive. My other tools are a T-square and a small ruler, a regular block eraser.
My alternate (and current) method is to use a graphics tablet in Photoshop since the paper I like to use is far too big for the scanner that I have.
I prefer to do a minimal amount of drawing while still conveying maximum information. I am quite capable of detailed work, but that's really not my style and spending a long time on a small portion of frames doesn't seem that efficient (or fun). Looks nice, but boring to do.
I've been doodling forever. I got started reading comics with Tales from the Crypt, and some of the early X-Men comics around the time of the appearance of "Major Domo". I loved to read LOBO and I also had my hands on some of the old Superboy and Donald Duck comics.
I had written a few series in grade school, based on toilet humor and farting which I somehow managed to keep over the years. Combining the radio "humor" of Howard Stern, of whom I was an avid listener, and the violence of LOBO, my first real effort was in high-school and the protagonist was a hyper-violent alcoholic outlaw.
After the appearance of my work on the internet, and the subsequent appearance of a similarly-appearing cartoon character (IE after I got ripped off), I fell into an artistic depression and left comics entirely for a number of years.
Early in 2007 I went back and did daily comics for 2 months using the site name "Fatalitycomix" which was a good exercise in discipline and site management.
For the record, my favorite manga is "Battle Angel Alita."
