About Me
I’m a collector of vintage and modern comics, sci-fi collectibles and outsider music and film.
I’m a big fan of Steve Ditko, Bob Burden, Jack Kirby, Ivan Reis, Geoff Johns, Doug TenNaple, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Billy Childish, Cities, Mark E Smith, classic Doctor Who, Adult Swim and other such things.
I spend most of my time watching cult films, old monster movies, Mexican Horror films and MST3K… who cover all those other things.
The only TV I watch, aside from cartoons, is on DVD from the United Kingdom, such as The Green Wing, Spaced, The League of Gentlemen, Adam Adamant Lives!, Jam, and Life on Mars. I have also been known to watch way too much of the old 60’s Marvel Comics ‘cartoons’.
Educated in English Literature and Theater, I’m a regular reader of Philip K Dick and Mick Farren. I am also the web developer and editor-in-chief of the science fiction anthology comic book site Zebramag.
My X-Box is rarely off and I enjoy playing the Tom Clancy and James Bond games as well as all of the Star Wars games (though Clone Wars is a large disappointment), Deus Ex, Thief, Jade Empire and the Call of Duty franchise.
I spend my days obsessing over life’s little distractions when I’m not walking my dog in the park or cooking delicious meals or just doing nothing with my lovely wife.

I came across your blog today while looking for more blogs writing about vintage toys.
I’ve just begun a countdown on my blog (which covers comics, toys, TV, movies and my artwork) called the “25 Toys of Christmas” where I list my 25 favorite childhood toys - leading all the way to Christmas Day.
Here’s a link that you might want to check out: http://www.thebaboonbellows.com/
BTW, besides being a cartoonist I’m a lllustrator/package designer for toy companies by day. In the 1980’s I worked at Hasbro and currently am working at K’NEX. Much of my Toy work can be found here: http://www.baboonbooks.com/
I also just linked your blog, I figure anyone who’s a fan of Spaced deserves a link!
