San Francisco has a lot of shady sex clubs. I'll have to write a whole comic book about The Power Exchange.

I sincerely believe society would be better of if everyone had mandatory addictions.
In order to be a citizen, you would be required to use a hard drug daily for six months. At the end of that period, if you had the strength to quit and stay clean, you could vote and pay less taxes and what not. Think of it as natural selection.

For a while I had this job at Stanford, and I was commuting by train from Oakland.
My day was supposed to start around 4:30am ... but that was seldom the case.

Back in '03, I lived in a hotel in San Francisco's Tenderloin. This guy got shot outside my window, you could see the blood spurt from his head and it ran down the whole length of the block.
I knew how much room 9 pints of blood would take up in a jar, but I had no idea how far you could spread it until then ...
He got shot for buying crack for resale and smoking it all by himself.

I drew this the first time I saw a hooker down the street from my new apartment in Oakland. Probably June, 2003.
Wed May 10 22:41:30 EDT 2006

So this girl, she's a pimp ... her friend is a glue bottle, and she lets people sniff him for money. Get it?
There's even a nose hair left on his nozzle; it's unsanitary!
Nobody thinks this is funny. Curse you all.
Wed May 10 22:47:54 EDT 2006

I was up early, ready to watch the pride parade in SF when I got hungry.
I decided to check out IHOP, big mistake.
Wed May 10 22:50:25 EDT 2006

As you can tell, 2003 was a rough year. I wasn't looking so hot for most of it.
Wed May 10 22:53:41 EDT 2006

Over the last 12 years, I've won about $300 in lotto money, but I've lost about $250 buying more tickets.
Wed May 10 22:55:32 EDT 2006

Had to give up the job at Stanford, the back and forth was too much.
Thu May 11 22:30:31 EDT 2006

Hypochondria and hardcore partying don't mix.
Thu May 11 22:32:36 EDT 2006

I was having such a hard time getting to Stanford every day, that I needed three alarm clocks to get me out of bed.
Thu May 11 22:35:52 EDT 2006

Some thugs tried to mug me, but I fought them off and talked them out of going after my wallet.
Might have been a different story if they had guns.
Thu May 11 22:38:22 EDT 2006

Remember that bum who was asking you for change a minute ago? Now there's just this lovely lemon scent.
Thu May 11 22:39:48 EDT 2006

Don't you wanna stay up forever too? Is that too much to ask?
Thu May 11 23:04:06 EDT 2006

Remember back in the fall of 2003 when pirates became all the rage? I made this drawing months before that.

Party too hard, and your guts turn to mush.
Thu May 11 23:08:13 EDT 2006

While I was working at Stanford, I was making six figures. I don't think I'm ever gonna make six figures again, unless inflation really gets out of hand.
Thu May 11 23:10:57 EDT 2006

Guess you gotta have your priorities straight.

Af if being blind isn't hard enough, being blind and paranoid must really suck.
Fri May 12 20:44:44 EDT 2006

American society as a whole doesn't believe in harm reduction as a way of dealing with blight. The all or nothing approach makes life worse for everyone.
Sat May 13 11:12:04 EDT 2006

As an agent of karma, I have to deal with a lot of bullshit. People never listen to my good advice.

After spending some time with real railroad hobos, I learned that the thing we all have to fear most is subterranean cannibals.

Naomi was one of the sweetest crack whores I ever met, and her friend Lou was a nice guy too, even if he did try to extort money out of me once.
Sat May 13 11:43:09 EDT 2006

I come from a long line of degenerates and mental cases, and this is a graphical depiction of our family tree.

Sat May 13 19:51:51 EDT 2006

This is what my sketchbook looks like when it is fully assembled.
Sun May 14 14:13:08 EDT 2006

I went out and printed my sketchbook as a slick little paperback.
If you're a fan of American counterculture, or if you've ever wandered what goes on inside a crack house, then you should get yourself a copy of this book.
