I am the writer/illustrator for the online comic strip 'Dead End County Monster'. A joke-per-day daily comic strip about two monsters dealing with day-to-day life.
I live near Chicago, Illinois and have always been a huge monster/horror movie fan and it shows in my work. I am also a fan of keeping the spirit of the 80's and early 90's alive by dropping a toy or game from that time era in my comics.
For about 10 years I worked on a comic called 'The Junior Five' with my friend from high school which can be read at tomcuttingboardcomics.com. I have always wanted to do something a bit more adult, sexy and inappropriate, hence, my monster-comic was born.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my comic strip and my bio, it's great to know that others enjoy what I enjoy doing day after day. Please continue to enjoy the upcoming daily installments of 'Dead End County Monster'.

I often dive into the bowels of Netflix and dig up the worst of the worst of 80's horror and new low-budget horror movies. Most of them deserve that place, but you find a gem every now and again.
