Hi, Folks!
These last few weeks have been, shall we say, “non-standard” around here. I’d like to think that we are back in the saddle and gearing up for some big stuff. (Ah, the joy of mixed metaphors!)
At the moment, plans to put “Johnny Saturn” out for the Kindle have been halted. It seemed like a [...]

Hello Everyone!
I haven’t written a new blog in a while, so I figured it is time for some long, candid thoughts. If you don’t care for such mental meanderings, that’s fine, just skip this post.
There’s been a particularly nasty head cold going around in central Indiana, and Benita and I traded it back and forth [...]
Hi, Folks!
Because of several requests, I am putting together a comprehensive who’s who of the Spire City universe. I’m going to present it in two forms, the Hotlist, and the Full List.
In the Hot List, I’ll mention the main movers and shakers, the recurring characters we see time and again. To make the [...]
Hi, Folks!
Benita and I have made big plans for selling T-shirts. We’ll be selling funny shirts, inspirational shirts, fantasy art shirts, and (of course) Johnny Saturn shirts. To this end I’m looking at some new store plugins, and I think I’ve found what we want. I should even be able to sell [...]
Hello, Folks!
Story Studios (aka Scott and Benita) are thrilled to announce that “Johnny Saturn” is available for download on iTunes! I repeat, you can get “Johnny Saturn” on iTunes! All our titles are available in the Panelfly store, and just searching for “Johnny Saturn” on iTunes apparently doesn’t get you anywhere. So [...]
Hi, Folks!
I’m hard at work on episodes 33 and 34, and they are brutal! Well, to be exact, the subject matter is brutal, the drawing of it has been a real joy.
So much happens in this scene that Benita and decided that there would be an aftermath issue to establish who lived, [...]
More Hotfoot. The first half of this image is assorted footwear designs for a super speedster, and the second half is the construction drawing for a promotional poster I did, featuring the women of the Squadron Premiere. I drew this second picture while sitting in a park, and the duck or goose pictured kept pestering [...]
In the last decade or two, the ideal of feminine beauty has transitioned from the long, lean ideal of my youth to a more robust, healthy, capable look. This is a good thing, of course, and probably a direct result of Title IX, which made athletic participation so much more possible for girls all [...]
Hotfoot’s design from the back. Why is she standing like that? Had I just read some 90’s comic with their ultra-sexpot bad girls? I have no idea. I was already getting tired of her lightning bolts, as you can see. After the War in Heaven, Hotfoot transitioned to a deep navy blue suit, abandoning the [...]
Hotfoot was one of the original Squadron Premiere characters I conceived of, and her design wasn’t as automatic as you would think it would be. When first thought up, “she” was going to be a “he,” and he was going to be long and skinny. I soon abandoned that idea, and the science fiction version [...]
